Well, I think my first guitar lesson went quite well! I definitely need to develop some more motor memory when it comes to the fingers on my left hand...I suppose I should give myself time :) My teacher is quite nice, encouraging and patient which is a good combination. I learned a bunch of finger exercises and five chords, so that's a good beginning. I practiced for almost an hour last night after my lesson and the fingers on my left hand hurt like hell but I'm happy nonetheless. I know that once I've been playing longer I'll either be used to the pain in my fingertips (chords are the most painful) or I'll develop thick enough callouses (sp??) that I won't notice it or maybe a little of both:) I also had to cut the fingernails on my left hand way down. I thought they were short enough but I quickly found that they weren't, so, so-long to them! I like it a lot though and I'm still quite excited about it all! Maybe someday I'll be able to play more than just chords... It was sort of funny, I was in Herb David paying for my lesson and ran into Ben there, I had no idea he played guitar, so I guess I learned something new. I'll have to chat with him about this at some point...

I have an interview with All Media Guide set up for two weeks from now for the editor job. The whole thing should be quite interesting...I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I really want to find some sort of a new job. I've been stuck in the call center most of today and it sucks big time. I'm not exactly sure why but I hate calling patients and answering patient's calls. I think part of it is that I never know the answers to their questions and when they want to schedule an appt., there are so many little unwritten "rules" about that sort of stuff. Then it's trying to figure out what doctor they should see if they haven't been referred to a certain doctor, and again, there are a million little rules to do with that. Unfortunatley I'm scheduled to be in the call center for tomorrow too which doesn't make me happy. I don't know, maybe I'll get used to it. I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. Maybe it's just being out of my "comfort" zone or something like that. Whatever.

Yay for it almost being the weekend! I'm supposed to be heading to Plymouth with friends for drinks tomorrow night which should be fun. I hope everything works out b/c I really could use a night out. I just hate it when it turns into everybody else (I can think of one person in particular, and though I love her dearly, she tends to be very self-centered) bitching about their boyfriends (or in this case, ex-bf). Hello! At least you have a boyfriend!
Anywho, that's it for now. More practicing tonight!
Ciao,
Sasha
