Violin Practice
Here's the other carol.
Silent Night
My mom dug out my old pieces from my Winter Concert. Got two Christmas carols.
Pictures at an Exhibition
This is a different arrangement, so it will sound differently than the Pictures you're probably used to.
The Swan
This is a song called "The Swan" from the Carnival of the Animals. Really pretty song. I messed up a lot. Violin's still not tuned.
Blueberry Jam
This is a repetitive and redundant song called "Blueberry Jam." I know some of the people in my orchestra disliked it (one who even hated it). And if you had to play this song for two hours over and over again, I think you'd know how I felt. I kept messing up because of nervousness, and also because you know when you do the exact same thing over and over again, you tend to mess up in a little while? That's what that repetitive song did to me. I finally got to the end on the 33rd shot!

Summer Projects
I knitted a cupcake! It only took me about an hour and a half! This cupcake looks better than my first one. I don't have a picture of that. Sorry.
I knitted a bag for my cousin as a birthday present. Happy Birthday P Noon! It took me a few weeks to knit this. If you look carefully, you can see a diamond pattern.
Violin Practice
My mom recorded me playing Theme From Canon In D by Johann Pachelbel, arranged by John Capronegro. My violin was SERIOUSLY out of tune, so my notes were too. I think more songs are coming up. Probably The Swan from the Carnival of the Animals. Might be a while. This video took me about five takes because I kept messing up due to nervousness (and if you are that person from my 6th grade class and your name starts with an N and ends with a Y and your last name starts with a P and ends in an L, you're probably laughing as you read this).
Knitting
I've been knitting a lot this summer, and this is a bag that I knitted. I'm knitting more stuff, and I'll be posting pictures of them on my blog soon!
Taekwondo Testing
In this picture, I'm testing for my yellow belt in a church. I'm the one on the farthest right with the patch on my dobak.
