Piano Lesson

[days_unfolding]

I had my Italian lesson. She said that I was good at translating Italian to English ("You should be a translator!") but struggle in speaking Italian and thinking of new things to say. I need to practice a lot of verb tenses also.

Had class. The homework assignment that I thought was due tonight is due next week. I spent a long time cooling my heels waiting for the TA to help me with problems with my setup for submitting assignments--he was involved with people with questions in the physical room--but I finally got it working, so it should be good to go. And I'll have time tonight to do some work on my new music, practice singing, and to do some decluttering and organizing. I have my first piano lesson tonight.

Yesterday, I found a Web site that specialized in sight-singing. I think that I'll join it and work on that as well. I want to get as good as the others in my choir!

However, I didn't eat breakfast until 11:30 and ate lunch at 4, which says something about how busy I am. My next Jenny Craig order has shipped.

Mimi wants a lot of attention. I think that she's still needy because I was gone. She doesn't like me leaving. She also wants in on my Italian lessons. The teacher thinks that Mimi is really cute!

Hmm. I wrote my piano teacher asking her if she wanted to skip class tonight to watch the Presidential debate, when I noticed that Lessonface has online songwriting and music theory classes on a night that I have free (Wednesdays). The songwriting class is expensive, but I'd like to do it. I think that I'll need to wait until tomorrow to register.

Hmm. I need to go back to Michigan to pick up more stuff after I'm able to unload my mom's car. I should go before September 29th because that's when my swimming lessons start. So it has to be the 21st. I estimate two more loads will empty the storage space. Oh, I forgot to mention that I think that I found the rug for the bedroom and brought it back with me.

I got my new rain jacket, dual-voltage hair dryer, and dual-voltage hair styling wand. The jacket and dryer are from Italian companies, which is a good sign.

Piano went well. I like my teacher and missed piano. She is sending me a bunch of stuff to work on.

I watched the remaining part of the debate. I gather that Kamala Harris did well. I had issues with sound cutting out though, which makes me wonder if my Internet access is good enough for streaming. I watched part of CNN’s post debate show, but gave up. They spent too much time talking about Taylor Swift’s endorsement, IMO.

Got the garbage out. Printed out my piano exercises despite Mimi being on my lap asking for attention. Now I need to do the dishes and start laundry and then it's time for bed.
