Jun. 1, 2005 - Piano Student Day #2
Remind me why I do this piano student thing. I know, I know, that sounds like a bad attitude. But wait until you hear what my day was like. LONG SIGH.
This morning, I planned to teach seven students, as usual. I was up at 7:00am, and to my first student's house by 8:10am. While I was teaching there, my next students' mom called to let me know that both her kids were sick with the flu. No problem (I am REALLY glad she let me know), except for the fact that I now had two extra hours to kill, right in the middle of my morning. After stopping at a store to make a return, depositing some money at the bank, and picking up a new cell phone charger, I still had an hour and a half of extra time left. So I went home, plugged my cell phone into the charger, and did a few little things around the house.
An hour and a half later, I drove to my next piano student's house. They weren't home. I guess they were still on vacation, even though they weren't supposed to be. Now I had another hour and a half to kill! Anyway, I thought I'd just go to the next student's house a few hours early. I didn't have my cell phone with me, but I really wasn't concerned since they're ALWAYS home. (Can you see where this is going?) I stopped at the store to pick up some groceries for my mom. At 12:15pm I pulled into the next student's driveway. Guess what?! They weren't home either!!!
What a day! I went home and took a nap, got up and taught one student (all-in-all I taught 3 today). Now I 'm going to bed. I'm too tired to even write in an entertaining manner, unless you're entertained by the crazy sequence of events I went through today. If that's the case, SHAME ON YOU!!! You should try teaching a bunch of piano students some time! And for the record, middle C will ALWAYS be in the MIDDLE of the PIANO!!! Not three octaves higher!
