This week was once again a super busy week for me. We had our first conference game this week so I put a lot of focus on getting ready for that game. I tried to make as much time for practicing guitar but I still wasn't able to practice as much as I would have liked too. From what it's looking like, I am beginning to think that I'm not going to be able to reach my goal of learning songs. My chord transition is still pretty rough, I still haven't even looked into learning songs, and I'm beginning to run out of time. I'm going to try my hardest to fit in time to play and practice, but with such a busy schedule due to lacrosse and all the classes, it will be pretty difficult. I knew starting this project I might be setting too high of goals and that I should've mainly just tried to work on getting all the chords down. Overall, I still have a lot of work to do and with spring break coming up, I think I'll definitely be able to practice a good bit. Hopefully over spring break I will be able to focus on my chord transition as well as take a few deep breaths from all the stress from being so busy in my life. I'm going to Boone for the weekend we get out for spring break so I hope to be able to practice a good amount up there.

Over these past few weeks, I have hardly been able to practice playing guitar at all due to all the work the teachers have been piling on us and lacrosse. Whenever I have lacrosse games (which has been 3 games a week), I don't get home till at least 10 PM, sometimes 11 PM. With Born a Crime being assigned, I've been drowning and falling behind in so much school work just trying to keep my head above water. This week, I may have gotten a total of an hour of practice time. I didn't make any progress this week due to just being so busy. I tried to focus on my chord transitions but it still is not where I wanted it to be. Over spring break, I plan on practicing playing guitar a lot. I want to get my chord transition to where it sounds great and I would like to actually focus on playing some songs. The main thing is I just need to figure out how to balance my super busy schedule. I've got an AP class along with 2 other honors classes. With the quarter coming to an end, the work is piling up tremendously. I hope to be able to play some songs at the end of this project, but if I can't figure out how to balance my schedule than I don't think that it'll be possible.
This week was another extremely busy week for me so I didn't get to practice playing the guitar as much as I would have liked too. I got home at 11 PM on Tuesday because of the away game at South Iredell. This week I mainly focused on chord transition and I can go ahead and tell you that I have a lot ways to go. I keep struggling with my fingers sliding over the strings through transitions which makes the next chord sound rough. I've learned a lot of chords and I'm pretty comfortable with where my fingers need to go for certain chords. If you read my post last week, you would know I was struggling with trying to play the chords without looking because I was under the impression that playing without looking would make me learn faster. I have given up on that practice technique because it just made me more confused than anything. I feel a lot more comfortable playing while looking at the chords I play. This upcoming week will be very busy though, with 3 away games and one of them being at Mooresville (which is like an hour drive) and it starts at 7:30 so I wouldn't be surprised if I was getting home around 11-12 PM. I'm going to try to learn how to play songs this week and I'll document my progress with the songs in next weeks blog post.
