Within 3 days, I had another audition in Leipzig!
After the HFM Berlin audition, the next day, I did not even go outside.
Nor I practiced!
I just had to live through it, was painful....
but through all the mistakes I made, I had the best practicing day ever the next day!
Oh, what a day.
Flaws were all over the place today.
FLAW#1. I got ready to leave my apt and went on the S Bahn to get to Hauptbahnhof.
As I was getting ready to get off at the station..I realized I forgot my ticket!!!!!
I previously bought a German Pass again for doing multiple trips for auditions.
I thought for a sec, if I should just buy a ticket on the spot..but it would be too expensive!
So, as soon as I got off at Hbf, I got on the train that goes back to my place again.
THANK GOD I left early, if I hurried, I could still make it back to the platform on time.
When I got off at the station in my neighborhood, I RAN. with my cello, backpack, I RAN.
Normally it takes 10mins to talk, I made it in 5.
FLAW #2. I was waiting for my train to get here...and I was a mess.
Out of breath, sweating, and so tired already from running with the cello.
This old man comes up to me, and says &%%^*(#$$E%%!$(?
I look down, my ticket was on the floor...OMG
What if he hadn't told me that??
Got the ticket, went back, got on the S Bahn again, and....
By 2 mins, the train has left.
DAMN German Trains that leaves on time!!! haha but other things...not so much.
Anyways, I got on the next train, and I still had some time before the audition.
Well, FLAW #3. I was late for my rehearsal with the pianist..
After f**king up so badly in Berlin, I really REALLY wanted to do well.
Not even well, just do my 'Normal'.
If I could play exactly how much I prepared for, I'd be so happy.
Somethings went great, some didn't go as well.
But overall, I had a good feeling and I enjoyed my audition :)
I made two friends this time! :) yay
and we all went back on the same train to Berlin together.
3 Korean gals, 3 white cello cases..haha
I don't even know what buildings are what, but they were so beautiful!
On the way back, at Leipzig hbf, there was Bach! :)
Overall, this day started off CRAZY, ended up pretty good!
