101 in 1001 update
so, my 101 in 1001 project officially began on aug 23, 2010 – which gives me until june 20, 2013 to complete all my goals. so – what have i been working on?
have created a binder for one of my five courses. and it is the brand new one, so the rest shall be a breeze. am still created the online versions of two of my courses, so those will probably take the longest.
i’ve also been working on teaching myself to play guitar. technically, i started this before aug 23, but it is a continual process, so i still count it as a goal. thus far, i’ve learned a scale, and four chords. i’ve also got tabs for the song more than words by extreme (something from my youth that means a lot to me), and have been trying to figure that out. i’ve got the opening…but i’m terribly slow at it. one of liz’s staff members is an amazing guitarist, and has been showing me some practice exercises to help with dexterity and speed. i’ve also been enjoying listening to him play. one day, i’ll get to say i knew him when. 
as for the piano class – that officially started aug 26, after some drama that involved the class getting cancelled and the students all begging the dean to not cancel it. 
i’ve spent some time on the assigned pages…but i get bored with scales, and i already know how to read music. which led to me finding sheet music for a few songs i want to learn – such as hey bulldog and yesterday by the beatles. i’m working on hard on getting yesterday down pat – almost there. then just gotta practice enough to get up to speed.
as for now – i’m off to freerice.com to help fight hunger.
