Day 5: Half-Day Hump Day

AM barn every morning, and today I was able to experience some of the cows first hand. I told a teenager calf out for a walk around the soccer, field. I ran with it and had some fun, and it began to really trust me and was very calm with me in the end.

CLASSES AGAIN

First up I had English 10, and I got a downloaded version of Watchmen the Graphic Novel. We talked more on the little observations and themes that were portrayed in the reading the days before.

Then I had Comp. Religions, we finish watching Grand Torino, and then talk about what we got from the film, the character development, and purely analyzing its themes and relating it to Christianity.

I only had two classes today because Wednesdays are normally half days. So with the free time I decided to write my blog post that I did do yesterday because I was so tired and get some laundry done; while catching up on some sleep in the in between time.

THE INBETWEEN TIME

I played I game of battle hack with a couple of students. It is where be stand in a circle and kick a hanky sack to each other. After the sack has touch three people it must me caught in the air. When caught you must hack, more of pelt it at the nearest person around. It you catch it before three people have touched it, then that person must face his back to the wall and everyone who is playing gets to have one chance to pelt him with the hanky sack.

THE TOWN OF PUTNEY

On Wednesdays, there is a Putney shuttle that tarries us to the town of Putney and back. So me and another student from my dorm went to the general store and just picked up a bunch of snacks. I stocked up and created my dorm stash of food to snack on the hungry times.

 GUITAR LESSON?!

Later on that day I met with Guitar teacher at Putney. And this guy can play, to be truthfully honest I think he’s better than Dr. Fetcher, My first guitar teacher, and me combined.

I gave me full freedom to delve into whatever I want in each lesson. He plays rock really well and definitely mastered jazz, or what he calls “The J Word.” 

We mainly worked on learning the modes, all of them, along with all the little connects, how to use them all around the neck, and harmonizing the scales and keys over the various chords and chord changes.

I have another lesson with him tomorrow; we are going to work more on the modes and chords. He said if there’s any song or solo I want to learn; we’ll learn ‘em.
