So at 3:30 I went to the music store for my lessons, and the first thing I hear my teacher say is, "I like the gold on my lips, though, its soft." I pretty much started cracking up. Granted it is even more out of context for you since you could not see that he was on the phone talking about new trumpets and mouthpieces.
Then I was waiting in the car after for my brother to finish his sax lessons, and I started rummaging through the piles of crap in there. And I found my cd case that I had lost 2 years ago. This case has like my favorite cds from 3 years ago in it, including: "Kind of Blue"-Miles Davis, "Veggie Rocks"-A bunch of christian bands covering veggie tales songs, "Young and the Hopeless"-Good Charlotte dont judge me!, "Nimrod"-Green Day i freaking bought this cd in japan im so happy i found it, "Mmhhmm"-Relient K, "Holiday Single"-Green Day i think i bought this one in japan too, "American Idiot"-Green Day, "International Superhits"-Green Day i borrowed this from someone and never gave it back, "1990s-Just the Hits" epic songs, and the Spamalot soundtrack. So yeah, 3 years ago I was slightly obsessed with Green Day.
Then at Wednesday Night Community tonight Andy was there back from Sonoma State and he had his trumpet with him. We found out that we now have the same brand. I <3 my Getzen sooooo much. I think his is a better one, but mine's pretty good. It's a Getzen Eterna 700. Its silver. And it was pretty cheap. They usually run $1500-ish new and mine's maybe 3 years old and I got it for $600. I've had it for almost a year now and I still haven't named it yet. My ghetto old one is named Tristan, because I got it right after I saw Tristan + Isolde.
And I finally decided that I'm going to take Music Theory next year instead of Psych. I've been wanting to learn piano again now, and I want to learn some music editing programs and such. I have such an easy schedule next year. It's rediculous. I'll have: English, Band, Music Theory, Art, Drafting Tech, and PE Leadership. I'm busy taking Govt/Econ right now, and I am so sick of it. I hate the teacher. He's this real creepy kind of guy and he's a special ed teacher. I'm not bashing on special ed kids here, but he is treating the class like we are SPED kids. When we do cornell notes we all have to do it the same and bla bla bla, copy verbatim off the overhead. I'm like, "Wat the crap? Is this the 2nd grade? I took AP history last year with the best teacher in the school, so I'm going to do notes that guy's way, mkay?" It's annoying. Because I believe I'm a fairly smart person. I'm just a horrible student. I can learn stuff and remember it pretty easily, but if you give me work, I'm probably not going to do that. Now I know that's not a good thing to be in the habit of doing, but idk, summer school is an easy A, yes?
