In Terms of Music

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. - Albert Einstein

Recently, I've been dreading to have my piano lessons due to my utter lack of practice and motivation. I've been so obsessed with reading (Second Chance by Jane Green) and writing (my future novel, hopefully) lately that I haven't been practicing. It also didn't help that I've only been playing miscellaneous songs not for my lesson—i.e., stuff composed by Carter Burwell, Yiruma, and Coldplay.

So just a while ago, I accidentally left my Variations on the Canon sheet music on the piano (composed by Yiruma, I think) when it was my lesson. It's a pretty tricky piece, and I haven't gone past the second page yet. Anyway, my teacher saw it, and we tried playing it together—see how it sounds and all.

Before you knew it, she made that part of my lesson, haha—obviously, that got me pretty happy since I'll be able to play it with formal practice and all that.

And it seems pretty weird, but I'm motivated to practice now. HAHA.
