I took my English, Economics, and Chem. finals today. Surprisingly, I think I did pretty good in them. I studied and everything, but sometimes my mind panics as soon as the exam is placed in front of me. Anyway, we'll see. Tomorrow, I have French and Math. I'm not really worried about French. On the other hand, I'm pretty nervous about math (my ( Read more... )

So, I'm absolutely done with my solo for the semester and I think I handled it well compared to other years. Freshman year, I hid in the instrument with Maria and Chris. Lol! Mr. Oyen found me pretty quick. I think that was the first place he looked. Anyway, Sno-Daze is coming and I'm still trying to settle on a couple dress ideas. I was even ( Read more... )

Luckily, I got a lot done this weekend. I am fully ready for my solo tomorrow and I won't be as nervous as I usually am. Not only do I only have to play in front of like 6-8 other students, I'm not even playing the whole piece, since it's something I just started working on. I got a bunch of math done and fixed parts of my piece. I'm hoping to set ( Read more... )

I love doing Chemistry when I understand it. Like now. I already wrote my Hydrate Formula Lab. I just have to type it. YAY! Other than being bombarded with homework and feeling like a busted a lung every time I cough, all is well. This "3 good things" situation is really bothering me. Anyway, I still have to translate sentences for my French ( Read more... )

I have an interesting challenge approaching me. I have to learn and polish Concerto in A Minor 3rd mvt in less than a week. I have final jury this upcoming Friday. At least I don't have to perform in front of the whole class. I'll figure it out. I'm munching on bread and Oliver toasted parmesan, garlic and Herbs Dipping Oil. YUM! I promised myself ( Read more... )

Winter break is coming to an end and although my break wasn't extraordinary, I wish that I had more time. Knowing that I have a test in Chemistry tomorrow is bumming me out enough as it is. I'm praying that I get at least a B on this test, that I get to go to... I'm not sure if I even want to say, because I don't want to jinx myself and I hope that ( Read more... )

This Christmas was...umm... memorable. I got a gift card to Mall of America, a boombox (which I really needed, because my mom was tired of me playing music on the computer all the time) and headphones. Then we went to my Aunt Kim's house and celebrated the holiday with my father's side of the family. I got my coat when we were leaving and... least ( Read more... )

How has economics become the death of me in less than a week? I don't know. In so many ways of course. US Economy projects, Internal Assessments, etc. Argh. At least I only have the Internal Assessment to do now. I can't wait until the Winter Concert on Tuesday. Orchestra and Christmas are cheering me up around this time. Another thing that puts a ( Read more... )

I was so lucky today. I'm so grateful that Mr. Cherin gave us an extension for the final copy of the Internal Assessment. I still have some time. I'm promising myself I won't procrastinate. Anyway, hopefully my ensemble will be able to practice together this week. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik needs serious help. At least we were just sightreading it. I'm ( Read more... )

Do you like the new layout? It's Franz Ferdinand. If I could change the box width, you could see it better, but I'm having trouble doing that. If you know how, please leave a comment. Anyway, yesterday was a very fortunate day. I made out like a bandit ( Read more... )
