(no subject)
My tablet's being stupid. Stupid 'cause it's not working. Maybe the battery in the stylus is dead. Maybe not. I'm not interested in solving the mystery of the unresponsive tablet, so it's back to pencil and paper for me. Which is just as well since I was initially going to draw with pencil and paper, but then it occurred to me the tablet might make things move faster. I am a Ctrl+Z whore... as much as I enjoy covering myself with eraser shavings. Anyway.
I passed today's theory quiz with an A-. I still left the class with the shakes and an urge to find a dark corner and throw up in it.
Tomorrow is the Piano Proficiency Exam. The nice thing about this exam is that even if I fail a couple things, I can retake it for just the parts I needed more work on. The goal is to pass the whole damn thing in one go so I can get on with other more important things. BUT! At least it's not a one-shot-only deal if things go... disastrously.
Ugh! And I just found out earlier that one of my fellow music theorists will not be taking Theory III until next year. This makes me sad. He plays oboe and - like me - also lacks piano training. I felt we were more or less on the same page when it came to the whole "Oh crud, piano playing, we're screeeeeeeewed." Now it's just me who is the weakest link. OH MAN! What if the others don't come back next semester, either?? They're all juniors (nope, I lied, one's a freshie I believe...), they've got time if they wanna take a break from theory. I have to look this up now. *pulls up new tab* Ohhhhhkay, four people are enrolled. They're coming back. Still. No wait, I'm not the weakest link. I'm never the weakest link! I FUCKING ROCK. Piano can just suck it.
What am I doing? I was gonna draw a picture...
