First Day of IB - woohoo. Not.

So the first year of my two years of the IB Diploma started today and I can't say today was a good day. Except the teachers were hilarious save 2 of them and the class is infested with new students who look mostly like well, retards (i'm sorry for the bluntness) and I guess that's what made me laugh all day despite supposedly pms-ing - i am surprised how little i got angry today, honestly, being me that too. Well I also reached the conclusion that learning the guitar isn't such a herculean task after all because the fact that there are frets - i.e divisions - you know where to place your fingers, even if it is a bit of a bitch to stretch sometimes. And it's easier for me to say that because I play the violin in 6 different positions and I have to stretch all over the place just by estimating the distance. There is no division given to you. And the chords are simple to memorise. I memorised 7 in half an hour. I am doing this for the sole reason that I love how the guitar sounds and I have always admired people who play it well and since I play one string instrument that is so difficult already, why not try out another one that might be easier? And it is my favourite instrument because of its sound and the fact that it can be played for basically any mood. The violin is more for celtic fiddle or melancholic classics. Both of which are amazing but it's difficult to do jazz on the violin without much practice. And the jazz is pretty much already covered by my saxophone. So yeah, hopefully in a few years, I can add the guitar to my ever-increasing repertoire. That'll eventually make it 4 instruments! And a teeny bit of piano chords to boot thanks to theory of music. So 5? It's the only thing I am properly inclined to do anyway. Well let's just hope IBDPY1 will be a good change from the mundanity of things so far.
