I haven't had a piano lesson in about three weeks, so she piled on all sorts of music I should practice. I haven't practiced one bit of it untill today. During the school year I did typically did fine practicing guitar and piano regularly, but ever since the second to last week of school I have been doing really poorly at keeping myself together. I have a lesson today and all I have practiced is the left handed part of "The Entertainer." I can't even play it over the right handed part.

I know that this stress is just a product of my own laziness, but I think I want to quit learning piano. My mother told me that I should hold out untill the end of next school year, but I don't think I'll enjoy it nearly as much as guitar. I haven't been practicing guitar either.

My dad is constantly pressuring me to go outside since we have such a nice new summer home, but I always use the excuse that I have a lot of summer homework to take care of. To be truthful, I've been slacking off on that too.

Now that I've vented a little bit, I realize that I really need to just sit down and make a schedule, or just something that will keep me in check and make sure I do everything that needs to get done. I feel a lot better knowing that I can do this. I still have settled my piano problem as far as this lesson though.

I really wish my dad would get home so I could talk about it with him. I don't know what I'm going to say to my piano teacher.
