guitar lessons

Trevor is not quite ready for guitar lessons, but I think he thinks that Uncle John is supposed to provide those lessons.  In the van today, Life In the Fast Lane was playing and I was singing along.  Trevor was singing along too, but only on the title line.  I asked, "Trevor, what instrument is that?"  He said, "Ummm....guitar."  "Right, do you want to learn to play your white guitar from Taylor when we get home?"  "Uh, no, because that is a different kind of guitar."  "What do you mean?"  "That is a electric guitar, like I have at Aunt Jennifer's house, you know, the flame guitar, like bubba has."  Yeah, so, I am not sure how my brother-in-law will feel about knowing that Trevor has claimed his guitar, but I am sure that he has already started teaching Trevor to play. 

holy moly...

wow, that was bad.  my first spanish test (first test, actually) for this semester did not go well.  i will be lucky to get a b.  i feel like crapola.  i have so much to catch up on this weekend, because i didn't get enough finished last weekend.  i really shouldn't say that, because i have been doing a lot, just not enough of what i had to do was school related.  i will definitely have to push hard and get caught up this weekend at all costs.  of course, i could change the priority of the things that need to be done to focus on schoo; but there are some really (in my eyes) vital things that need attention, even more than school.  i am also getting a little cold and the kids are all not quite well yet, too.  so, everyone is tired including dad.  i have to admit, i have cried a few times this week just from the exhaustion, disappointment, and stress.  but, crying is nothing new in my life and i am sure that one good run or a nice workout will cure me of it.  hopefully we can get the mat to the school for the new MMA club.  some guys are trying to start it at my school, and we don't have mats yet.  there are several guys with enough experience to teach me things and the president is an instructor in several styles of fighting, so it looks to be super fun.  the club will allow me to combine my downtime at school with a workout, so i am really excited about that.  also, i am putting some effort into finding someone to grapple with trent.  i think he will really enjoy being able to get back at it with someone his own size.  the club is coming together, but not yet official with the school, so we will see.  so with the bad comes a little good.  other than spanish, my classes range from easy to super easy, so i should have no trouble recovering from this slow, disorganized start.  still, i am pretty disappointed that i didn't get it fixed before this test.  if it would have been a test in any of my other classes it would have been no problem, alas such is life.  so now, back to mine.
