There are 2 violinist students next door, they are pretty diligent in their practice, our walls are not thick and I work from home. Sometimes they are both practicing at once. I feel like the protagonist of a scribbly greyscale indie horror where some monster is hunting me through a boarding school.
Like at points it is quiet and chill but randomly through my day, [sudden frantic incomprehensible discordant violin soundtrack]
I think I actually preferred the shouty rugby boys.
If I had to look for a bright side, I'd embrace the creepy atmosphere and see how high it could get my heart rate. A form of cardio, if you will. :P
And then I'd buy a set of noise canceling headphones after a couple weeks.
