Day 102

Today's been a pretty good day. Very chill, very relax. Actually, not much seemed to happen today. Kind of like it but don't a bit.

Day 101

I only had my art class today and I have gotten pretty far with my piece. Now I know the direction in which to bring this piece to life, to make more interesting and create more character with, but I won't be able to finish it by Friday, that I know, so I'll have to talk to the teacher about a time extension. It's only the first assignment but I'm very excited about it. The first time I did a still life I didn't get as involved as I am now, probably because I was shy and didn't really know what I was doing. Now I'm very out there with my art. There is a part of me that wants to hold back, but, instead, I remind myself to keep pushing my limits, pushing my values, pushing my imagination and eye. This is what will make me a better artist, a better writer. Being able to convey to another person what it is that you see, think, and feel is what puts beauty in the world.

Day 100

Presentations all hour long for Biology. There were some pretty interesting ones and then others that weren't as great just because I was really tired and done with school even though it had just started. Personal Finance we continued our research paper and I helped out a friend with the stuff that he missed, only because I didn't want him to NOT graduate. And...choir...we did the exact same thing that we have been doing last week and this week....yay....

Day 99

Today happened to be a pretty easy day. Biology we've continued our study of the human brain, we actually did a PowerPoint about how smoking and drugs affected the brain and it happened to last for the entire hour - though it was specifically meant for little kids to enjoy. I have continued my still life but feel as if I am too far behind for all it is that I would like to convey in my piece. Personal Finance we took our chapter test today, which was pretty easy, then we got the chance to work on our Economies of the World research paper, and in choir - to pass the time - we are making our own music practice sheets as we wait - agonizingly - for our new music to come into the mail that we have to learn before February 26...two pieces...less than one month...this worries me.

Day 98

If it hadn't had been for the greatest gift ever, today would have really been one of those really boring days. What was this most awesome surprise that made my day? Well, my old choir teacher came and saw us after school today! Yes, it was quite exciting, especially since it's been almost a year in May. Mr. Stone has been doing pretty well in Denver, teaching a freshman choir class of 90 students, and an awesome women's chorus! he also showed us how he added on to his music tattoo and it looks amazing! Truly, I am happy for him, because Mr. Stone has done so much for me in the past two years that I knew him and he pushed me to always do better and to never quit what it is that I love no matter what others say. If it hadn't been for Mr. Stone there would be a piece of me that would be empty and unfulfilled. The greatest gift that he ever gave me was the ability to see beauty and showed me how to express that beauty to others. I am forever in his debt.

Day 97

Today was...alright, in the least to say. We had a sub in Biology so we got to watch the behind the scenes for Planet Earth, the GREATEST documentary about Earth I have ever seen. Then we worked some more on our still life and I'm sad to say I spent more than an hour drawing a bowl. Oh, not JUST drawing a bowl but adding the shades and making it more proportionate. Yeah, I'll post a picture of the still life when it's finished and when it looks better than it does right now.

Personal Finance we had to do a worksheet about a random country we chose and we have to write a research paper over the country's economy and if we would want to live in that economy. Choir we did this cool yet really strange thing were we split into quartets and had to sing a measure around a circle, so quartet 1 sang measure 1, quartet 2 sang measure 2, quartet 3 sang measure 3, etc. It was alright except for the fact there were only three Alto 2 people so we had to run across our circles just to sing with another quartet. Yeah, and then I stayed after school to work more on my art project.

Day 96

Today was an alright day. There were no internet outages and that made my day as a library aid easier, and I didn't have very much homework to do. I did work more on my still life and I feel I'm not any closer to where I want to be, especially with the dead line next week.

Day 95

No school yesterday (Thanks MLK Jr.), so we had school on a block day. We did our presentations for Biology today and mine turned out alright, I still don't like making speeches or talking in front of a big crowd, which won't help for when I want to become a teacher. Personal Finance we also presented our goals to the class, which I thought was kind of stupid, but whatever. Choir we're still singing that ONE SONG. So far we're almost finished memorizing it, but still....and for the first half of the class we had to come up with our own warm up solfege - basically a music exercise and we had to come up with words too! Gotta love it...

Day 94

At long freaking last! It's Friday! That means I have five more months until I'm eighteen! Yay! So excited!!! Not much happened today, but next Friday we have a pep assembly and we're taking our Senior class picture. Not a bad way to end my week, but I just took a shift for my friend so now I've got to go to work!

Day 93

Kill me now! I can't believe it's only Thursday and not Friday! Biology we only took some notes, I'm not even a quarter of the way finished with my art project due next week!, Personal Finance is a bore at the moment, aiding is alright, and choir we're singing the same song, still waiting for our next piece to tackle.

Day 92

So far my day has not been going as expected. The school Wifi is down. Yes. The freaking Wifi is down. So, as a library aid, I can't check out books, I can't get any of my homework done. Right now, I'm typing this on my notepad on my phone and will probably post this when I get home. Yep, I kind of dislike charter right now.

Day 91

Biology we're working on a powerpoint about the Brain and we're supposed to present it next week for the class. Personal Finance we're still on our goal setting and we're still singing in choir. Sorry, I'm just not feeling it today. I had enough shit from yesterday, but tomorrow will be better. It has to be.

Day 90

I'm kind of thankful for the late starts, but then again I'm not, because the times always confuse me. Why can't we just get out of school earlier? I wouldn't mind that. Besides that, today was an alright day. It was really simple; did some notes in Biology, doing my still life portrait for art that's supposed to be due next week (NO PRESSURE!), my Personal Finance class we're doing this goal setting stuff, choir we're still working on our song Set Me As A Seal, and my aiding is just fantastic. Yeah, it's going good so far.

Oh yeah, except for the fact that it's the anniversary of my grandmother's death and my boyfriend dumped me last night at midnight and it was our anniversary. Yeah, other than that my day couldn't get any better.

Day 89

Didn't go to my Biology or Art class, but in Personal Finance we watched this video about Dave Ramsey and saving money or something, choir we had a sub and we sang. It was easy day.

Day 88

Still kind of getting used to the schedule, but it was kind of a slow day over. We got our terms for Biology that are due next week, we're getting ready to start a still life drawing in art, still getting settled in for Personal Finance, we got our first song in Choir, and library aiding is still fun. This semester might actually not be that bad.

Day 87

What I predicted came true! I only had to go to one class today since that's how my Wednesday classes worked out, though I do aid the entire afternoon, but I practically eat, breathe, and live in the library. I'm kind of excited for the art class, but I'm kind of worried because the art teacher is new and isn't like my last art teacher who knew me so well. Easy day overall. Pretty excited.

Day 86

As truth, the first day back to school is ALWAYS the hardest. For the past two weeks I have slept in till noon and gone to bed at two in the morning. Yes, I loved it! But the transition back was difficult, especially trying to get my schedule together. Also, it was weird that we started school on a Tuesday, especially since that Tuesday is a block day, meaning I only got to go to half of my classes. So here's the schedule:

1-2: Release
3: CMU Biology
4: Drawing and Painting 1
5: Personal Finance
6: Library Aid
7: Las Cantantes
8: Library Aid

In truth, it's a pretty easy schedule, but I already found out that having Personal Finance as a block is VERY boring. Love what the class has to offer, but the first day was a bust. Didn't miss doing our voice placements in choir, especially when it looks like my teacher is going to keep me in Alto the entire freaking school year. Yeah, today was an alright day, though I know tomorrow's going to be easy as heck.
