First in Forever
EDIT: Basically, I just practiced my CYS piece, and I am psyched. I mean, seriously, it was soooooo fun. oh my god.
Yeah, so I basically haven't updated this thing in forever. So i guess i will. This weekend should be pretty good. I mean, yeah. anyways. I had a band concert on thursday, and I played the first movement of the Mozart Concerto for Bassoon in B flat major. it went pretty well, which was good. Problem: they spelled Amherst College with a u. ummm, what? Oh well. Thanks if you came. It was pretty funny. and my band director talked a lot. But oh well. It was all good. What else. I should probably get going on some senior pictures sometime soon, since yeah. I kind of need some a lot. But I will get them at some point.
It turns out I am in love with ceramics. I spend, here it is, 4 times as much time in ceramics as in any other class. And I spend an equal amount of time in the studio as in all my other classes combined. This makes me happy. I also wonder about why it is I can be awake for all three hours and ten minutes of ceramics, but fall asleep in 1:35 classes. I guess it shows that kicking a wheel or doing precise work with your hands is a lot more engaging than listening to teachers talk and talk. It is really bad that I fall asleep, but whatever. I made this really awesome pot that has a lizard on the side and a grasshopper on the lid. the lizard has toes. I hope it will be out of the bisque kiln on Monday so I can get it into the glaze kiln before Spring Break. although glazing it will be hard.
Ummmmmmm, what else. I need to make reeds badly. The one I used at the band concert didn't work so well which was really annoying. But I need to make some for the CYS concert, which i need to be awesome at. But I will, because it's a fun piece, I will have just played it at State, and it will be nice and fun. Spring break is in a week. I actually can't wait. I mean, school and weekends here are really fun and all. But it will be a nice new thing, plus I have never been to St. Louis. SO yeah. it should be fun. Should I be looking for stuff to do there? probably. right?
I can stay awake in classes the less sleep I get. Is this a problematic situation or what? I hate it. But I can't really see a way around the situation. Basically, I fell asleep chewing gum in class. I mean, the whole point of the gum is to stay awake. I wish i had more paper with staffs on them. Then I could just sit in class and write solos. or draw in my ceramic sketchbook. Which I am angry about because I forgot to pick it up on Friday. Even though you reminded me! Can you believe it? Well, I can, because the teacher was demonstrating how to throw large plates/bowls with large, flat bottoms. It was quite intense. And awesome. It's always so inspiring. And then when I try it, I can't do it, which really sucks.
Alright. time to go do more AP Physics. we got another take home. the first was due at the semester break, and was supposed to be on the last semester's grade. However, it isn't done grading yet. It's almost spring break. is this awkward? I should think so!
