Today I had piano lessons, as I did and still do every Friday. Yeah, I'm in ninth grade at school now, but I'm not nearly as high as level nine for piano. sad

However, I don't mind. I started a bit later than most pianists do, so to have achieved what I have now.. I am.. not that proud.

Getting straight to the point, I'm a level three pianist!! Woo and stuff! blaugh

In grade six, I started piano lessons. I took, kind of like, a kindergarten in piano lessons. I didn't have to, but at the place I attend, everyone does, without choice. I finished it before the year was over and began level one.
Grade seven, I continued level one.
At the middle of grade eight, I finished level one and started level two.
And now, at the beginning of ninth grade, I LEVELED UP. 4laugh

I'm not THAT confident in my piano skills, simply because I'm not very good. But I've always wanted to play piano, and ever since I got the opportunity, I've stuck at it!

It's hard to say I tried my best. I ought to admit, I was slacking off most the time.

Yeah, I was slacking. I am disappointed in myself.

BUT NO MORE. I will work hard to level up again and again. twisted

You know, I've always looked up to Beethoven and Mozart, but I don't even know any of their songs. What a horrible fan I am. gonk But I'll keep playing until I'm good enough to learn one of their compositions.

I hope I can get it before university. To be honest, I don't know whether I'll be able to continue piano lessons after I've entered university. I've got to finish as much as I can.

I feel this need to improve. The original reason I got piano lessons was that I didn't want to fall behind my friends who play piano. Of course, I've always wanted piano lessons, but seeing my friends play, it encouraged me to go out and start! Thank God for my overly-competitive spirit.

After the first year, I must say, I was tired. Grade six was harsh, I had such a strict teacher, and piles of homework everyday. I didn't know if I wanted to go on with piano lessons because it does take quite a bit of time, not to mention my siblings hate it when I play. emo

I have several reasons to continue though. I wanted to pursue my childhood dream of being capable of playing piano. I also wanted to surpass my friends. I also saw a video of a guy saying girls who have some type of talent are much more attractive than those who do not.

Heh, I honestly don't like guys too much. I'm not lesbian, I'm just not interested that much in guys.

Ahh, that was a lie. I've leave this topic to another entry though. This is such a strange way of ending an entry, but oh well. I don't think I'm capable of ending entries well. So uh, bye byes! until next entry then. wink
