piano lessons.

was driving back from hamilton this morning.
(yep--will not get the chance to sleep in at all.
even after the eight hours i got last night--still horribly groggy.
think im sick. throat hurts. head hurts.
could also be exacerbated by the fact ive gone down from two-three coffees a day.
to one-two. eep.)
aside from that--had a dream about the figure on my next paycheque.
which led me to an incident that occurred probably more than a decade ago.

as a child, i took piano lessons (of course...-_-)
went right from grade one through grade nine with the royal conservatory of music.
hated it horribly.
an hour a day is tough for a kid to do.

(luckily i did, though--bc i never had to do a customer service job in school.
in grade 10, through a co-op with some friends in OAC, was offered a part time teaching job at a music studio in hamilton.
so when i was 15, started teaching both vocal and piano.
oftentimes to ppl double, triple my age.
though--i did do a week of telemarketing.
just to see what it was like.
and yes--it's exactly as people say. absolutely awful.)

i digress.
for one of my exams--im pretty sure it was the practical piano exam for grade seven in the series.
two days before they mailed my grade to pass the level in the mail--i dreamed i got precisely 87/100.
the mark comes in the mail two days later--87/100.

i am not one for believing in anything supernatural.
skeptical, at best.
but god, that was weird.
let's see if my dream last night will hold true, but i will refrain from disclosing the number.^^
