The only situation where 'practice' is acceptable is when it ends like that:
"By the way, who's the one you want to practice for?"
"Well, duh, it's you of course."
(- And they lived happily ever after...)

At my graduation, I was like 'Well... tomorrow at your place as usual?' and next to nothing changed.
So I can finally watch it? Yay!
I was planning to since the beginning but wanted to wait for it to finish because I somehow had the feeling about it getting a bad end...
