Refocused

After a long night of practice (3 hour session), I have decided a few things.
1. 3 hour sessions are not as productive as they would be if broken down.
2. I can play for 3 hours when needed.
3. I am going to apply to only as many graduate programs as is reasonable.
4. I am in much better shape than previously suspected  with the VW... but not there by a long shot.

I did some more research on grad schools after practice, and here is what I have decided on:
1. Iowa
2. Kent State University (Open TA confirmed) -Kent, OH
3. UNL
4. Wright State University (Open TA confirmed) - Dayton, OH
5. UNI

Based on what I found out tonight, all i need to work on besides solo repertoire is:
1 Bordogni etude
1 Kopprasch etude
Orchestral excerpts including: Die Meistersinger, Ride of the Valkyries, Sensamaya, and Symphonic Metamorphosis

I think that cutting down the options is going to help relieve some of the stress and anxiety from earlier in the week.
