Under the waterfall

I stayed home today. Cleared a substantial amount of my slept debt this morning. Felt so energized. I stayed home so that I can have a piano around me all the time. I know, skipping school for that is controversial, but I still have my scales to prepare before Wednesday. You don't want to know how horrible it is right now. And still, perhaps I thought I could practice a little in school in the hall during breaks but I was so dead wrong. When there are people around, it will seem totally inappropriate to play scales. Somehow, no matter how much I try to resist I always end up playing pieces. Not exam pieces but my etudes.

I think night study is a great idea provided they don't squeeze an excess of people in the library and switch on only one aircon. Somehow, my body became very reactive to the shortage of fresh air that I couldn't concentrate last night. I guess, the next time I'm going, I'm definitely going to study outside. 'Compulsorized' people in the library, I wonder whats the point of that?

Honestly, I find staying at home more conducive. But sadly, I don't think the school trusts us anymore with that.

Stay at home to play scales? I played La Campanella more than anything. I managed to play one page up to almost max speed with almost no tension. Yay! Guess it's going to get harder from here on.

I think I should go clear some work now, I'm feeling a little guilty.
