The Italian musician and his fake Italian lunch

My god, I am absolutely exhausted. I was up a fair bit later than I usually am because I was visiting my next temporary host mother. Her house (although small) is much neater and more organized than the Baxters, it also has matching furniture and color coordination, so that was really nice. Luckily it was a fairly relaxing day of school today, what with me not being expected to turn anything in for a while. It was when I got back to the house that things started getting busy.
First was lunch, which is always an ordeal. I discovered some canned spaghetti in the back of the pantry, and after about ten minutes of trying to figure out how to work the can opener, I dumped it into a bowl and heated it up. After navigating my way through the kitchen holding a steaming hot bowl of spaghetti and being hobbled by an over-affectionate housecat named Pow, I finally sat down to enjoy my pasta. Except I forgot something, nobody enjoys canned pasta, the stuff is disgusting. The noodles were overly soft and bloated, and the tomato sauce had separated into its more basic byproducts, mainly tomato paste and water.
After that, the real fun begins. As it turns out, music class over here is more than just playing an instrument, there is a bunch of different things that they work on throughout the week, but right now I’m doing composition and performance, mainly because those are the only two choices which don’t require me to come in during my precious non-period period on Friday morning (i.e. If I didn’t do composition and performance, I wouldn’t get to sleep in until 10:00am on Friday’s). So anyway as a result, I have to compose a piece of music, and I just spent the last I don’t even know how many hours (though at the very least 3) working on this piece that could probably be picked up by beginner pianist in all of five minutes. At least I have something to work on during class now.
Next on the list (although I’m not going to do it right now, because I don’t think I could concentrate on an emaciated purple flying hippo at the moment, let alone homework) I have to read up on electronics. Basically before 10:00 tomorrow morning I have to know how a diode works and what “holes” are (they kept referring to them in class, but no one every explained what it actually was.)
