Wow, what a
hectic week. It's also been the first full week of school that we've had in a while (the last 2 weeks have only been 3 or 4 days and the week before the week before that was only 4 days). No more breaks until Christmas holidays. And my first full week has been killer. (Not in the good sense.)
So there's a big Social Studies project that was due today and it was on the Bolshevik movement...so here I am researching all this information when my dad tells me at 11:00pm last night (yeah, that would be my
procrastination again) that he's read all of Stalin and Lenin's books and knows pretty well the ideas of the Bolsheviks.
Apparently, he had to wait until so late to tell me that he was a walking history book! Yeesh. Would have saved a lot of time and a lot of eye-ache. (Well, I wasn't that focused on the Internet anyway so I probably shouldn't complain about that last part...)
And then of course,
piano. If my life is hectic, piano's got to play a part in it. My auditions for the Concerto Competition (that thing that I played in last year, where I got the chance to play with an orchestra) are this Saturday. (Tomorrow morning at 11:15.) I got an award for the highest Grade 5 theory mark on Tuesday so I played at that...(not saying much, since I think I'm the
only one taking Grade 5 theory here in this small town...) And again with my grudge over overtalent. I mean, if a person is going to be overtalented, well he just has to be talented in
everything, right? Like this one guy who composed his own piece to play (and it was pretty cool too) and is apparently good in everything else.
And he's pretty good looking too. So...yeah, even successful in department. Yeesh.
I was also supposed to play the piano at an elementary school for some kids during their lunch hour and my piano teacher had said that it was on Thursday, and then said that it was on Friday. She also said that I would be playing with a couple other people. Well, those people told me that it
was on Thursday. Of course, I didn't find out that it was on Thursday until yesterday, which was Thursday. At about 10:00 I figure this out and I should be there at 12:00. So I manage to get there somehow with all my stuff (after phone calls, and trying to find a ride and having to go home to pick up my things, and changing into something decent), and then--they say that I
am playing on Friday, and that I am playing separately from those 2 people. After all that...nope, still on Friday.
Thankfully though, they let me play on Thursday instead of today since I was already there. If I had to go back there, I would have been pretty irritated. The little kids were so cute though. It was reading week for them apparently, so they were all dressed up in costumes--spiderman, the cat in the hat. It was adorable. And then, while one person was singing to them, one of the little girls was imitating the singer's hand motions. So cute. Afterwards, another girl walked up to us and gave us a little piece of wrinkled looseleaf. On it was written in pencil (in big letters) YOU'RE AWESOME. How cute.
I guess the plus side of all that worry over nothing was that I got to miss 2 classes--Social Studies and Math.
At least this week will end nicely--I'm going to dinner at a family friend's place tomorrow night and then going to see the musical
Footloose.
Aw...I'm looking out the window and I see two little boys playfighting with each other. One is armed with 2 guns and one is armed with 2 swords. They're really into it too. Also so cute
Oh yes, in Biology, we learned that clownfish can change genders. They are born with "undetermined sex" as it says in my notes and then the largest fish will become female while the next largest will be male. However, if the female goes away, the male will become a female (since it's the largest fish now.) So apparently in
Finding Nemo, where Nemo's mother is dead, that means that his father should technically now be a female. Huh.
I do not quite share the same passion but I enjoyed watching part of the 4th before going to see Footloose. I've only seen the 4th and 5th Harry Potter Movies once each I think...the 6th was supposed to come out this month, but they pushed it back to...next summer. 
After a bout of laughter, the guy at the end of our group of desks pushed together, who is always about the delayed responses and was apparently oblivious to our laughing, asks, "What's a centroid?" "So you know her mom?" "What?" Clueless. Our teacher also curses at the stupid questions in our textbook sometimes, only to figure out later that she read the question wrong.
