Thus far I have no tendonitis nor anything of the sort. As far as my level of playing, well no one really knows. I play well, but as everyone does, I have my few problems I still have to work on. Nonetheless I guess that after playing for about a year and a half, I have learned quite a lot, specially in the recent past, and am keeping a quite fast pace. Hopefully I can continue my learning and practicing routine this fall at my first year of college...
