Tired......

My hands are cramping and shaking from muscle strain.
My fingertips feel raw.
My neck and shoulders hurt.
I'm horribly embarassed with how much I've forgotten in three years
I'm going to be spending the next two weeks practicing crossovers until my eyes cross.
My (purple) harp sticks out in a room full of natural wood tone lap harps
I can't wait until my next class in two weeks.

On the other paw, it's amazing how well my Sharpsicle teld it's tone even after a year without being tuned. My teacher was impressed too (he makes harps as well as teaches) I think it's going to have to hand it's harp licence back if it keeps it's tuning this well.

It's lulling you into a false sense of complacency. This is practice and placement lesson. When you need it to stay in tune, bring along a tuning fork (better bring along the whole flatware set), 'cos it'll be all over the place.
