Thoughts, Thinkings, and Ideas!

I love this gap that we get between school and work. I like to call it guilt free holidays. You don't have to feel bad you aren't doing homework, you don't have to feel bad that you aren't looking for a job. It's just feel free to play time!
I wonder if I'm going to be bored.
Oh thanks for the people who did b-day stuff for me. Very nice of you. I'm wearing that hat right now! I bet you I can get it to turn brown really fast.
I've been looking into laser eye surgery, I'm not a candidate for LASIK only for PRK. Which means recovery time is like a week long. Not too sure when I'm going to be able to do it though. It'll be interesting. Not too scared of risks though doesn't seem like a big deal. If you guys want to learn about laser eye let me know. I've learned a lot in the past few days.
Em, thanks for fixing my template. Looks much better without all that space.

Well I broke my guitar string, and the replacement ones in the case are the entire set except the string I need. So I'm going to try to see if I can get that string from someone else. At any rate I thought I'd write down all the various lessons I learned from different people.
Sam Mo: No matter how bad I was he always made me feel like I was getting better. He taught me the basics and well, very cool guy. Of course he taught me strumming by saying you'd just pick it up eventually... but he atleast taught me the cheat chords. Ahh good times. Key Song: I Can only Imagine.
Justin Lau: He taught me to palm the chords. And how to play specific songs, because there are tricks for them. Also he taught me the boring strum which all strums come out of. Oh and how to use all the frets. Not as friendly as Sam Mo though. Key Song: God of Wonders.
James Lau: Well, not so much of a lesson as letting me know I'm not good. But he showed me how to learn off Mp3's. Key Song: Come Home Running.
Tif Chan: She taught me the valuable lesson that less is more. Don't strum if you dont' have to and let the vocals carry it. Ur just support ur not the key player. Key Song: Give us Clean Hands.
Sam Ip: Got me going using something called a double strum. He also taught me something called CAGE and the decreasing base notes. Very interesting. He's a funny modest guy, hard to learn off of because he's so improv. Key Song: Give me a Pure and Holy Passion.
Hahah learning guitar has been an adventure!
Anyone know how to fix my formatting? I dont' know where there's so much space above, it just happened all of a sudden.
