stuff

Had a good birthday and had a lot of good wishes from friends -- very nice. Of course, what's a day without SOME happenings -- still, it was good and memorable.

Went today to get my SAM'S club membership so now I can get discounted gas there AND BJ's. I'll have to, seeing that the price of gas is, once again, climbing. It's horrible the way it fluctuates like that. Just when I got ahopeful that it would start going down or at least staying put for a while, it bounces back up. Crazy.

I got a bit discouraged today after taking my music theory fundamentals test again. We're supposed to take it until we at at least a 90% so, at least I can keep trying until that happens. Still...I was hoping for a LOT better, not just a little better. Oh well...

Oh, and it looks like I'll have to take sight singing/ear training over again. Not so bad, though. The teacher isn't be best and that, in my opinion, makes a big difference. It affects all those in the class. Only a handful, which isn't much, get it and the rest of us struggle. The teacher rushes too much. I stopped him, in class, and told him my concerns and I THINK he might have listened. I'll find out tomorrow. It wouldn't be so bad if it was only me, but it's most of the class. Should I be comforted by that? :)

On to tackling music history....quiz tomorrow a.m.
