I forgot to say... I had my first guitar lesson today.

Everything went well and I learned a lot. The best part was that the entire lesson was supposed to be 30 mins, but it ended up being 47 mins and was only charged $20.

The bad news: my car is having transmission problems... already. ugh. Fortunately, it's still under warranty because it's not past the 3yrs/36,000mi warranty cutoff. I'm bringing it to the dealer for 7am tomorrow. Wish me luck with that...
