Someday

someday i'll be good at this instrument. today is not the day. i got to practice for an hour and a half with ivn again, and loved it. i remembered what my mentor said, "just have fun." and i've always found it funny when teenage boys try to impress the only girl in the room. i looked at the pastor who rolled his eyes. i just laughed.

the good thing is i'm getting a bunch of copies of spanish music for future playing opportunities. the bad is that when i'm there during practice, it's usually the first time i've ever heard the song. so i have to figure out the melody/what to play, play it (tweaking things that aren't right), and then try to remember the song when i go home and practice.

then again, as you can perceive, i haven't had the opportunity to practice at home for the last week.

so.. having band practice tomorrow with the ska band (possibly, i still don't know if i can make it), might increase my practice time this week. seriously, i had it on my laundry list on monday, but didn't get around to it until it was too late (must respect my host family after all!).

the key is, i AM having fun, and it is an honor to play with a praise team. someday i will be a pleasant instrumental addition..
