If these aren't ramblings, then I don't know what is...
I can hardly believe that over 2 1/2 months ago. Although I'm going back to school at SMC next fall, it's always hard to grasp the concept that I no longer have piano lessons performances, or competitions to prepare for. Therefore, it's been pretty hard to stay motivated to practice. Sure I've set pieces that I am working on right now... but come on...
Also... I just got a job teaching piano, but it's only one day of the week... Saturday. So what have I been doing for the past 2 1/2 months?
NOTHING
This is SO unlike me.
Correction: I had my keyboard shipped out 3 weeks ago, so I have been practicing, and NOTHING
I've been sleeping in late, hanging out with Abe, and staring at my computer and watching TV. Basically, I am hopeless.
This, however, is all going to change August 29. Classes start, I will be continuing my saturday job, AND teaching a couple days a week in the afternoons. I also have 3 private students that I'll be teaching once a week. So my schedule is already filling up fast... must find money to pay for piano lessons... shit... I sound like a true musician.
So yesterday was my first day teaching at SMMC. The first three students actually went really well, and I had a lot of fun. According to my schedule, I had a 1 hour break between 1:30-2:30, so I went down to the music shop and looked at all the books, then I had more time, so I walked around the block for a bit. When I got back, I already had a student and I was 10 minutes late for my lesson that was oh wait what.... MOVED UP to 2:00... What the hell?
They failed to mention to me that I'm SUPPOSED to check in with the desk and make sure that there weren't any schedule changes. Oh but I DID check in to the desk, and they did not tell me anything. So after I finished that lesson (which was 30 minutes of boring hell because the kid forgot his music.... greaaaatttttt...), I chilled for 15 minutes waitinig for my next student to come, only to have the front desk chick come and tell me that I was done beacuse the last two students cancelled and so she rearranged the schedule, which is why it changed. So basically I got stiffed out of 1 1/2 hours worth of lessons. Whatever.
I've decided that I'm going to go to the santa monica farmer's market every week and get fresh produce. I liked the Malibu one so much (I really miss it), that santa monica just has to be bigger and better. And who doesn't like bigger and better things?
I had another lesson with the neighbor kids from downstairs, and it actually went amazingly well. I taught little Erin some songs including spongebob squarepants and that's so raven. man.... I am totally selling out. What is this world coming to?
I think I've gone on long enough. Good night everyone!
