Dude I have freaking 7 days of NOTHING!!!  You know what that means?  Practice practice practice.

Anyways, I change my mind.  Chopin's 3rd ballade.  A little less ambitious, but whatever man...

According to Hollywood, spring break = party. 

I don't like parties.  I tried going to one, but it sucked man...  I'm not 'bout that life.

I went to a party once where everyone but me was an accountant.  I use the term party very loosely, of course.  Yours can't possibly have been worse.

Of course everybody but you was an accountant!  You're a freaking professional pianist!  That's a great conversation starter!



Person:  yeah, I'm an investment banker

Everyone:  wow, fascinating!

*you stand on the table*

You:  oh yeah?!  Well I'm a freaking professional pianist!

*then you aggressively adjust your blazer like a boss*

Everyone:  wow you're sooooooooooo cool!!!  Screw that investment banker who steals everyone's money!

*everyone rushes towards you and you have your own entourage*

Person:  grrr...

*he gives you the evil look but you respond with the wink and the million dollar smile.  The lighting is just perfect so your teeth are illuminated in such a way that they look like diamonds*

You:   8)

Everyone:  so tell us more about yourself!

* you look away as the wind blows your hair*

You:  ...  Arpeggio... 8)

Everyone:  woooooooooooow SOOOOO cool!!!!!! :o :o :o

I was, at the time, a law student.

You also appear not to know many accountants. "[T]hat investment banker who steals everyone's money" is their role model, and probably their boss.
