Okay, you'd better sit down, because this might be kind of long. I didn't go to school in the past 2 days, so I went today. In 1st block (American Literature), we were still in the Native American section, and Mr. Stevens (my teacher) gave us the assignment of writing either a creation myth, hero tale, or something, I forgot what it was. Anyways, I decided to do a hero's tale (well, more of heroine, really). Mr. Stevens said that it had to be at least a page long, but no longer than 3. So, I kind of had to rush it at the end, because it was nearing 3 pages. (Personally, I thought it sucked. But that's only because I didn't have enough time to work on it.)
Then, in 2nd Block (Gym), we played volleyball. Now, I haven't played volleyball since-ohhhh-since about 9th grade, so I expected my skills to be kind of rusty, but oh my Gosh! I am really bad at volleyball. Anyways, while I was playing it, I went to hit it with one hand (more like slap really crying ) and I hit it so hard that I burst a blood vessel in my pointer finger on my right hand gonk . It looks slightly purple, too. Then I got nailed in the chest with the volley ball, luckily though, I hardly have anything there for it to hurt badly sweatdrop . Then, the server for the people playing against us, served the ball and accidently hit one of their teammates in the back of the head xd , not enough to hurt her though. I asked Coach Love (my coach) what time it was (like I always do) and he said, "Girl, you need to get a watch." I replied, "I do have a watch, but it's on a necklace." "Then, this weekend you need to get yourself a regular watch."
In 3rd Block (Mixed Chorus II), Mr. Jackson (Chorus teacher) handed out a small booklet of music sheets. Now, just to make it clear, I just started Chorus, so I'm not that good at knowing how the notes are supposed sound on their position on the staff bar. Well, he wanted to get the Soprano's (which I am one of) to sing these measures. When we started singing we looked at him (I guess we were looking for guidance), and he yelled at us, "Don't look at me! Look at your notes! I guarantee if you look at them you'll do a lot better." I was like O.O. So, then we actually looked at the booklet while singing. Well, I kept getting lost and frustrated, and I felt like this cry . So, after class I talked to him, and told him how I didn't know how the notes should sound, and how I kept getting lost, and I started to cry slightly. He said that what he wants to do is basically, try to get us to catch on by singing the song. He also told me that if I needed help that he would work with me on whatever I needed help with after class (that's what I'm thinking he basically said, I can't remember it all).
In 4th Block (Algebra III), all we basically were doing was a math packet, which, I must say, I am doing very well on, considering they got it 1 1/2 days ago, and I just got it today and am already on lesson 5.4 mrgreen .
Then, afterschool, I went to help build the Frankenstein set (I'm on the the Tech team). It's still not finished, and the show goes on next Tuesday! dramallama All I'm really having trouble with are those damn triangles. I hate those triangles with a passion. stressed I sometimes wish that I could just burn them burning_eyes . Then, when my mom came to pick me up, I saw Terry on my way out and talked to him biggrin . I found out that the pieces that we're using for the Frankenstein set have been used for plays' (held in the past 3 years) sets that everybody said they hated building....I think it's cursed eek . That's why we're so slow on building it, it's cursed.
