The sky was a crystal blue so deep you could drown in it. I spent most of the day immersed in musical practice, wrestling with music theory. Honestly, it feels like rocket science to me. Hours vanished just trying to grasp sharp and flat notes. (Beware: sharp notes aren't hashtags!) Then, the real nightmare began. Music theory is practically another language besides English. I struggle to pronounce over half the terms correctly, as the other half, well, they are just other forms of mathematics aren’t they? Like semibreve, Major, Minor, and crotchets– just jumble my head, making me nauseous. Overall, it’s a math book written in Italian. I'll be confidently stuck here for a while, no doubt. Vivian, bless her, is totally fried. She promised Mom she'd help me pass my theory test by year's end, but honestly? I won’t possibly be able to fathom just the vocab by then. Her plan seems increasingly unlikely.
