Mood: Nose sniffly

They're getting a lot harder!

Okay, well it probably didn't help at all that I scampered off on a Caribbean cruise and didn't practice at all for a week and a half right as I was given my first set of actual melodies to learn. I came back and sat down at my keyboard and was like oh god, I don't remember any of this! D: the night before my next scheduled lesson. It's like I'm in high school all over again and I didn't finish my homework.

I definitely am learning though. I can hear myself getting better at each piece when I play every night and I'm slowly getting the hang of this crazy reading-sheet-music thing even though it takes me a moment to relate the note on the paper to where my finger should be positioned. (It's a work in progress.) Despite the fact that on a broad scale I obviously still really suck at piano, I'm finding it very relaxing. I get especially proud of my self when I get through a bit with no errors. And I'm not going to lie that when I'm waiting and listening to girl before me fumble notes in her lesson, I get a little smug. I could play that. Ho. Ho ho. La la la~ (Yes, okay, so she's twelve-years-old. Shut up. Let me be petty.)
