Seems my car is more broke then we thought.. Oiginally we thought the thermostat was bad.. Actually what happened is a belt fell off and got caught in the pulleys and caused my car to overheat. So we got a new belt, pulled the old one out of the pulleys and stuff. And now we found that another piece is broke which is a 50-70 dollar piece plus its a dealer item... So yeah I wont have my car for another week or so.. Well it's not too bad because my Dad takes me to my lessons now.. Well at least he did yesterday..
My lesson was fun.. After he has evaluated my playing he wants to work on touguing so I can tongue faster and more efficently..Okay Kids as wrong as that sounds keep in mind I'm talking about my clarinet not my sex life. So, I also need a new mouthpiece.. He wants me to get a Vandorean 5RV Lyre (or plain) profile 88 mouthpiece. It will cost about $65. And of course I will probably need to look into getting a new ligature as well.. I'm thinking a Vandoream Optimum.. Another $50-60 dollars knowing Vandorean.. Damn the French ::ignores the fact that she IS French..So obviously French, I mean the last name is Ouellette..:: I also need the Klose (Pronounced Close-A) complete method book which I believe is somewhere in the twenty dollar range.. Ah, I need another Job.. Though my monthly income is about $600-650
And in that month my expenses are as follow
Car Insurance: $98
Gym Membership: $40
Gas: $80
Clarinet Lessons: $80- 160 (Once I start hour lessons which are $40 per session)
Health Insurance: $120 (at least that is what my Dad makes me pay him)
So for one month I dish out from $238-318 dollars.. So I have only $362 extra for myself a month if I continue 1/2 hour lessons and $282 if I do hour saying that I make only $600 a month.. Usually I make more.. Anyway, I'm getting tired and Its time for bed.. I'm hoping my mom will take me to the library tomorrow because I'm so bored and I'm having book withdrawals. I mean you can only read Harry Potter so many times..
