I hate arpeggios.

I should be on Survivor.

This morning I played all the arpeggios for my exam. That's all the major keys and nearly all the minor keys. First, second, and third positions. Two hands simultaneously, four octaves each. Twice as fast as it should be.

I think I enter another dimension when I play arpeggios, where time and space and melody are unknown and have no bearing on anything. And when my music teacher says, remember to play in sixteenth notes, I play the exact same thing again, stressing every fourth note, and she says it's better.

We went biking during the little window in between rain today, which was great except that we really need to find some new haunts. Something new to do. Somewhere new to leave our soda bottles.

Truth is....
