"Year", I mean. Though I suppose both are valid when you look at it. Happy first blog post of 2009, et cetera, et cetera.

As of tonight I am officially a student of piano. It's very exciting~ My first lesson was this evening (which I arrived late for and feel very bad about... I need to remember to go into work early on Tuesdays so I can catch the earlier bus home and not have to run around with my head cut off...) and it was very enjoyable. I have lessons to learn and practice over the next week: key names and beats and notes and what not. In order to keep the proper finger and hand posture I also had to cut my nails, which is very sad ;_; *wiggles short, blunt digits* but I admit it definitely helped.

And so begins my only two realistic New Year resolutions:

1. Rock at piano. (And by that I mean do decently well at my beginner-level lessons.)
2. Keep the apartment in a permanent state of less-messy. (We're going to start doing the dishes every evening to prevent the towers of filth in the kitchen that have built up in the past. Next we will hopefully designate a weekly cleaning day for each room of the house.)

*Determined*

Only ten days until we leave for the Caribbean! X3
