       Today was a stressful day. Although, I do feel that I accomplished something on the test. (Even though I bombed it.) After all of my classes, I went to the lounge with Rebecca so she could practice her piano. (she is amazing, by the way.......hey, maybe she could help me with my homework....Oh......*slaps head* Duh! Stupid Whitney, Listen to the spirit you dummkopf!!) I saw that one of the curtains had been accidentally torn down, and no one had fixed it yet. I was still a little stressed, so I decided to fix it. (fixing things helps me calm/wind down. Plus, I just LOVE to fix things.) I realized that I needed a screw driver for the last part, and I didn't have one. So I used my key. It worked really well, and now the curtain is fixed. I feel accomplished! I didn't die today because of the test, obviously, but embarrassment was present. Especially since my mentor was doing half of the rhythm test. I still feel stupid around my mentor. (well that's probably because he is so much more advanced than I am, and he plays piano amazingly, and violin.) He is really nice though. He is soft spoken, and just nice. (Oh my gosh! He explained something the very first time we met as a group, and he helped me understand something that none of my (all of them) Orchestra teachers could ever help me understand.) I am so glad he is my mentor, I've seen the others. Its not that the others are bad, but I think I got the best one. Life is hard up here, but I think I can just make it. (I had better)
