Christmas Gifts Part 1

This morning, I woke up around 10:30 maybe. I knew it was time to open presents, but honestly I was just so tired, I ignored all the calls to come and get ready. My brother and dad finally came and knelt down next to me and began tickling me. I'm not really ticklish, except for when my dad is at the job.

They got bored of my ignoring and walked away. Sighing, I hid under the covers but found I couldn't sleep anymore. Disappointed, I stood up drowsily, trying desperately to open my eyes. It was a struggle, mostly because last night I'd worn my contacts too long and my eyes were too dry.

Walking over to the bathroom in the friend's house, I realized I couldn't get ready because my mom was. I decided to go and sit down on the bed and wait a while. Finally, after hearing the door open, I claimed my spot right away. Once I was done, I walked out and lay down across the sofa, preventing anyone else from sitting down. They laughed, because it was a lengthened joke from the night before when "playing musical chairs".

They were waiting for one more person, who was fast asleep. The younger kids decided to start opening presents. I was the only one my age. The oldest kid was six, and I'm fourteen. Then were all the adults. So I'm sure you can imagine the fun I had there.

They dig out their stockings, and I ate a chocolate that ad been given to me. By the time we had finished, everyone was gathered in the room. They started with the kids' gifts. They received tons of toys, especially cars. There was one, that was a car and you can put it on the iPad. It's really cool, actually. It's a game I look forward to stealing from my five year old brother.

Then were the adults. I have to admit I was pleased to be included in the adults section. I was the first to get  mine, which I opened happily. It was from my dad. Strong desire gnawing at me, I didn't really care about the wrapping paper. I just threw it aside and stared at what I held in my hands.

The Blu-Ray set of all six Star Wars movies. Considering I am extremely obsessed with Star Wars, this was an awesome present for me. I'd been wanting the set for so long, and now here it was in the best quality you could get.

Later, in the midst of all the other wrappers, I got another one. It was a small box. Being fairly certain it was jewelry, and looking at all the other jewelry people had, I was eager to see how mine looked.

It was these pretty silver earrings with glittering clear stones. I put them on immediately.

After that, we came home.

See the Beatles Examiner columns: Begin to learn the fretboard with memorizing the organic notes (no flats or sharps) on the fifth and sixth string. These are the letters A B C D E F and G (these are constantly in alphabetical order, following G you go back again to A). All notes are two frets apart besides for the E/F and B/C. These are often appropriate future to each and every other. Playing easy songs - You've mastered more guitar chords and have been practicing them enough that you've got most of them memorized and are able to strum and switch between them without much hassle, and you can even take your eyes of the fretboard when doing this. This means you can play songs! You can reach this level n two to three weeks of daily practice, though for many it might be longer.
