So. Recital today. I felt like I was able to redeem myself after studio yesterday. I know "Must the Winter" and I knew it yesterday, too. I let nerves and a rough start get the best of the entire thing. I just...I don't know. I walked away feeling like my recital performance was strong. I guess, thinking about it, there was probably some intonation to be fixed...I don't know that I had very clean cut offs. I don't know.

I'm not overly excited for NATS at this point. I'm just nervous, I guess. I get this way every year and all I can do is go in and do the very best I can. I don't know if it'll be enough.

I am trying to think of my practice plans for the next two days. Just to nit-pick, I guess. Really focus on a big mouth and light production. Forcing is only going to cause problems in the long run.

I guess that's all for now. We'll see how I feel after practicing tomorrow.
