PIANO

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
