Tonight, I followed my usual routine, after dinner I went and practiced the piano. I am very excited because I'm perfecting playing "Clair de Lune". Which, last year, my friend who graduated, used to play that and we had a running bet that I wouldn't ever be able to play it. Ha! I'll show him! Anyway he was one of my better friends last year.
Though tonight as I went into the music room I noticed that their were several people unpacking their band instruments. Urggh.... That meant I'd have to practice in the smaller practice rooms. The rooms are very small and the pianos aren't nearly as good. I tried my luck in those rooms and was chagrined to find that the piano was totally out of tune....Urggh-I was very put out.
So I had to resort to playing in the Presidents Quarters, which has an electric piano. Unfortunately, electric pianos don't exactly have the same sound, definitely not my preference of what to play on. But, recently, that's what I've had to resort to. As I was coming around the corner to the President's Quarters I ran into the very person I am very intimidated by. Sitting directly in front of the piano on a striped couch Great, this is just great. I swallow hard and try to suppress the embarrassment that's spread across my face in pastel shades of red. He is a very handsome religious man. He acts very confident and cool as a cucumber, that of which helped make me feel better about being embarrassed.
He told me about his next goal in life to marry someone and went on about this at length telling me about he wanted someone practicing the Christian faith. He used the word marriage at least twice and made very good eye contact with me. Mmm.... I wonder.
I told him that I was practicing the piano up there because the piano room was locked. And somehow we got into a conversation about religion.... Really, don't know how that transpired. As we were talking I asked him about what religion was most prevalent in his country. He said that Christianity was. He did not know what religion I was yet. Then, he totally docked my religion saying that most people that are in my religion don't practice and just use the religion as a label.
"So what's your religion?"
I'm Catholic....practicing.
His conversation had totally back-fired.
