violin


So...
I played my violin tonight for the first time in a year.

It was great.

My back and ass hurt from the chair and posture, my shoulder is sore from holding the bow, the fingers on my left hand feel like they're going to split open from pressing the strings, and my eyes hurt from trying to read the music...
I feel great.

I didn't even want to learn the violin, I was happy with piano and singing, but I wanted to take an art class (my highschool had a strong art program), and they were all full. The enrollment guy offered me "intro to strings" instead, but I didn't want to take it. No interest. I wound up in the same spot the next year, and figured, oh, what the heck, I have a violin(my mom plays), I'll just do it.

I loved it.
My teacher nearly begged me to be in the school orchestra the next year. It was great.

I stopped playing after I didn't make it into the college orchestra, but now I want to start again.
