La la la

Well hello ladies and gentlemen,

I realize I've been away for a while now, and I know you all must be in pain from crying so much, it's to be expected really...

I do have a bit of good news however! After trying to cut back on a few things I had planned and realizing that come Feb. 1st I might not be able to get a bus pass (oh the life of a student!), my mom called and told me I got a Bursary in the mail! Yay for free money... oh how I love thee.

So that is definitely a plus to my day! Along with, my new music class. I know the thought of music theory sounds atrocious to some of you, but I adore my music class.

First day notes: Basic theory!

I love my teacher, I love the lessons, I love how she teaches. Every Tuesday and Thursday I know I dread going, just simply because Thursday I have an Earth Science lab at 8 so I never want to wake up then, and Tuesday, music is the only class, smack in the middle of my day, so it's hard to feel motivated to get ready for ONE class. Nevertheless, every time I get to class, I sit there and realize all over again how much I love it. The teacher plays songs on her ipod and every lecture we watch (sadly only HALF) of youtube music videos, and apply what she is talking about to music we actually listen to. I've discovered some great artists in the meantime. Here are some links to check out:

Anyways, I love you all dearly,
Hope you are having a splendid Tuesday,

Your music-happy friend,
