Busy Work

Today I'm going to have to focus more on finishing my key terms and resource then anything else. I pretty sure that I will definitely be learning the guitar for my project instead of Kendo so I'm going to redirect my focus towards that topic.

Sunday Sunday Sunday

This weekend I am planning on sitting down with a possible guitar teacher. He lives across the street and has several guitars that he said I could use until I get one of my own. The idea of taking Kendo is still very much a possibility and I'll have more information on that as time goes on.
