| Current mood: frustrated Music: "In The End" -Linkin Park Subject: Band Again. |
|
| Today, being Tuesday, means we had band practice again. No Lerner. Again. I actually made a comment to Leah and Thomas in the car that I have to consciously keep reminding myself that Markgraf is not our director. Am I the only one in the whole world that actually likes him as a director? Anyway, since I have only ever seen Lerner once, I do have some help with the ability to pick him out of a lineup, however, I don't really associate him as of yet as our band director. It's kind of weird, but hopefully you know what I'm talking to, cuz Leah did...which isn't saying all that much actually, but still... So, I actually officially "practiced" (pretend those are air quotes) with pit today. Je ne l'aime pas. I seriously can NOT play the marimba. So, I'm just gonna leave it up to you Leah! ;-) I can read the music and all, I just really have to spend a few hours practicing, which is difficult, since I dont really have a marimba handy and I'm not in 7th hour. Not that I want to be in 7th hour, TRUST ME. No offense to percussionists, but I think even you would understand on this one. What I think I'm gonna do is just practice it a lot on the piano just to get an idea of where the notes go for the song and just spend lunch trying to do it. Or making Leah and/or teach me how to do it. It just pisses me off that I have to do this in the first place. Not that I see percussion as like some huge punishment or w/e (cuz they have some really cute freshmen..lol) but it's just like damn..I just learned to play the fight song and now this. lol. It's just "frustrating" (see? it all ties back to the mood. ahem...HANNAH!) to suck at something so much like this and I can't do anything about it. This is I think the only way that I can go to FBA this year while avoiding a full knee replacement at 17. Argh. So everyone come to the football game on September 5 to see how much I suck! Atleast after that I'll have a 2 week break before my next game since I'm going to Gainesville. Hmm. Next on the agenda is AP Chem vs. Chem 2. Thanks again guys for all the comments and suggestions you threw in on my last post. A lot of them really have made my decision a lot easier for you. For those of you who were "babysitting" (more air quotes) thanks for nothing!! >:o And for those of you who are sitting on the edges of your seats waiting to hear whether I have committed IB suicide, the answer is most likely yes. I made an appointment this morning to see ms. kelly thursday, but I talked to swanson after school about switching. She says that she feels I could definitely do AP chem and that it would give me an advantage in terms of getting into UPenn. Man, this whole UPenn thing is going to screw me over royally. I'm just gonna work my ass off and join icc and then like not be able to pay for it or something. I know this is just going to bite me in the ass. Oh well. Let's just go for it. Pros vs. Cons have led me to adding a third ap class and I think I'll be ok. Yea, I say that now, I know. But I just feel weird taking only 2 ap classes my junior year. This is the year that counts. It's going to be hell anyway, right? So I might as well go all in (for those of you familiar with the fine game of Texas Hold 'Em) and take the third AP class. So anyways...Swanson was like oh good I'll go tell mr dalsas you're switching right now and she left into the workroom.. So it's too late now, all you seniors. And nikki. So, let's see...what else is left unsaid...? I got a new knee brace today! Now I dont have to tape it all the time, which is good, cuz the tape gets itchy. lol. Oh yea!! I so went out and bought Lord of the Rings Two Towers DVD! YAY! That movie was so awesome...when legolas slides down the stairs on his shield? That was my favorite part. However, Orlando Bloom outdid himself I belive in the fight scene in Pirates of the Carribbean between him and Johnny Depp. You gotta give it up for that. That's one of the best fight scenes I've seen since Yoda and Saruman. muahaha. Well, that's about it. I'll leave anything else I left out in the comments section, so be sure to check that out all the time. Usually only about half of the content of the journal is actually in the journal. Read the comments. Post one too if you have some time! You know I always love the comments! ...unless they involve the word historiography. :-P |

DragonSpeaker | 08-29-03 4:37pm : / Like I said, I think you should draw out a passable imitation of a marimba on a posterboard. You can get a diagram online, but I doubt you'd need one. ^^ (Wow, I really overuse smileys, don't I?)
