Piano Achievements

I've been learning piano for like, the past 3-4 months- and I have finally finished one song. I'm so fucking proud of myself. Yeah, I know that many months is like, a really fucking long time to learn ONE song, but it's my first piano piece after Fur Elise (which apparently doesn't count as a song) so I'm happy. Now when I say "finished' I don't mean I can play it perfectly- I just mean I can play some semblance of the song from beginning to end- and that's pretty good for me.

The song I've learnt is "Summer" by Joe Hisaishi. No, it's not a particularly hard piece- but that's probably why I was able to finish learning it in the first place. I really liked the song, so that attributed greatly to be perseverance.

Even better news is that my hand's completely recovered now. I probably forgot to tell you, but during the holidays I fell over and scraped off a massive portion of my palm. It bled and then there was exudate seeping out of the wound for an entire week- I'd go to sleep and my hand would be sticky when I woke and it'd stain the sheets- and you're probably just like "sounds like you masturbate in your sleep" but it's worse than that because at least there's pleasure to be gained from masturbating but when you scrape your hand it's just pain and messy wound and dirty sheets anyway. So that was totally not cool- showering was a pain, washing my hands was a pain, and I couldn't really do anything with my hand like that.

Then a scab grew over my wound and I thought it'd be all good- until I decided to travel to go back to school, and I tore my wound open again in the process of lifting heavy luggage. That just goes to show how dumb I am so I don't really have an excuse for that. Luckily 2 weeks has gone by and the scab's peeled off, so now my hand is normal again save for the massive fucking scar.

Anyway, the point of all this is to say that I'm fairly happy right now. Some days I feel like I'm really busy to the point where I just forget to do a lot of things. Here, I'll leave one of my latest fav songs for you. It kind of struck too close to home, but I still love the song.
