I would like to announce, that there now exists a piano in my apartment. This lady from the office told me she rents one in her apartment and took me to the shop, and now I have one. It is some weird Chinese brand upright, but it sounds and feels pretty good and only has one sticky key. The deposit (that supposedly I get back when I return it) was expensive but it the monthly rental is totally cheap. Also, a bonus, it was hilarious watching the rather old Chinese guys haul it up five flights of stairs. Well, hilarious and sad. I have been really busy with Christmas stuff the past few days so I haven't even had time to sit down and bond with it, or play for more than a few minutes, but I already feel so much better. And now we will have Christmas carols at our party on Saturday. And now I can learn that Chinese piece I brought and whip it out to play for people. Except, I played part of it for these two students that were over tonight, thinking they'd be really excited, and they weren't familiar with it. I showed them the title and they were like...oh, this is...folk music. And I'm like, I know! And they're like...oh, well, most teenagers only listen to pop music. And I'm like...but you don't recognize it? And they're like...no. Haha. Oh well.
Merry Christmas
