Violin Practice

Angels We Have Heard On High


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.

Summer!

It's finally summer!! ...Well, summer came a few days ago already, but I was having too much fun at the pool on Sunday to blog. Anyway, I'm planning on going to the pool a LOT these months! I also signed up for a bunch of summer camps. That should keep me busy for the summer. Nothing much to say except "HAGS!" (For those of you who don't know, HAGS is a common-among-school-students abbreviation for "Have A Great Summer!") I'm looking forward to having as much fun as possible at the pool with my friends before most of them leave to go to another continent or the other side of the world.
