Need help organizing...

Hey there!

The last time I came here was to ask your advice on changing teachers and I evetually did, so thanks  . I do think it was the best choice for me, however I feel I'm still lacking something. This year has been pretty hectic and I feel like I haven't made the most of it... not even close. I finally made some changes in order to make the most of my lessons but they only last 50 minutes and I only have them on tuesdays. Do you guys think its enough? with my other teacher I used to have 60 + minutes and I'm really feeling the difference.

 Anyhow, I decided to make more time to practice at home and for the first time in 2 years I actually think I'll be able to. So now I'm just unsure about how to practice. I've been studying my two pieces and a popular song but there's only so much I can do on my own. I don't follow any kind of method with my teacher because I didn't use to have the time to study much at home and he would just go through the music with me and talk a little about how it was built (he's  composer, so he can get pretty excited about it). Should I ask him for more? Or should I wait to see if he'll suggest something once he sees I'm managing it all better? I certainly would hate for it to look like I'm complaining but... I don't know.

Thanks in advance to anyone who'd take the time to read this, let alone reply.
