School is stressful.  I get panic attacks everyonce in a while but I have had 2 in 2 days.  And at the same time.  Chemistry 1st period and then things don’t get all better until at least 4th period and that’s band and I love band.  But it’s ok.  I had to do an article for the band.  It’s really bad.  I was too lazy to find out anything or get a quote so I didn’t.  So it isn’t that great, but I got the names of everyone in the band.  There are 102 students.  And our band hall is made for about 80 people.  So you can imagine how fun that is.  And I’m a little closterphobic so that just makes it worse.  Well it’s been better for some reason but I have no idea why.  One day it was so cramped that I couldn’t have my saxophone to the side.  It is crazy.  But I still like it.  It’s fun and we are sounding really good. 

It has rained for the past 3 days.  It’s really annoying.  Because it’s mostly in the morning and in the afternoon it clears up.  And band is in the mornings so we don’t get to learn our show.  It really stinks. 

I read A Tale of Two Cities and Edith Hamilton’s Mythology over the summer but I have to read them again because I did bad on the test.  Almost everyone failed.  It was really hard.  It had been 2 1/2 weeks since I finished them and just didn’t go very well.  The highest grade was a C I think.  In my class at least and I know that someone made a 7 so…..  And I worked hard reading them and failed.  But i think that I have a new system that is going to work.  They are my books so I can write and highlight in them all I want.  It will help me. 

I think I had something else to say but I can’t remember.  If I remember I’ll either add it on or make a new post.

School and stuff

Today was the first day of school. I guess it could have been worse but it still wasn’t that good. It’s still school. I’m just going to have to go through it and hopefully summer will be soon. The only good thing about school is band and It might be a good band but the band hall is too small for all those people. It’s driving me insane. And it’s the first day. I love playing music but there aren’t enough lockers for the instruments. Well at least for saxophones and trumpets. It’s driving me crazy. It was so tight in band today.

I got a new cell phone. It’s my first one that isn’t a hand-me-down. It’s blue and it slides so it’s pretty cool. Cooler than I expected my parents to let me get. But my sister has one but hers is white.

I’m loving cello. It’s amazing. I’m getting good for just a couple months of playing. I’m really enjoying it. I love my cello. My cello teacher has me doing really easy beginner stuff. I started harder songs like Musette and something from Sleeping Beauty (the ballet) But I think I chose the perfect string instrument. Not huge like the bass but you don’t put it under your chin which bugged me when I played violin. I already knew bass clef from piano so it’s been pretty easy to pick up on. Just need to learn tenor clef. But not yet.

I got the August Rush soundtrack. I love that movie. And it has a cello which is amazing. It has some language that it could have left out. And a part that shouldn’t have been in there but is kind the whole reason why the movie took place. They still probably could have changed it. But it has amazing cello and other music. I love it. It would be so much fun to play some of the music. Put it would be pretty hard. Still it’s really cool. I love that movie. It kinda ended abruptly but whatever.

I started reading Do Hard Things and so far it’s amazing. I would suggust it. Go to the website and check it out. It’s really cool.

The olympics are over. And it’s so sad. :( I enjoyed them a lot. Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin were amazing at gymnastics and Michael Phelps is a great swimmer. It is insane. But it was cool to see even if it was just on the TV. I have a friend who I want to make the 2012 Olympics in London so I can go see her. That would be cool.
