We started our lessons on A Midsummer Night's dream! Today we looked at a time line about Shakespeare's life! Turns out he was married and had 2 daughters and a son! Who knew!? I sure didn't! But tragically his son died at age 11. As far as I know though, his daughters grew up fine. :) I'm supposed to read the childrens version of the book for homework tonight to get the basic story line. Should be fun! It's got lots of pictures! :D I like pictures!
Oh! Over Christmas break I actually did some school! With my parents and my sister we pretended to be hunters who had to run crazily around our living room collecting little papers that stood for caribou and rabbit and stuffs. Me and my sis were on a team and my parents were each individual groups. The game was to teach us about the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources. I learned that oil is nonrenewable. Trees are. And we had lots of fun moving breathlessly after 'beavers'. :D It was a fun biology exercise. Literally. I think I lost 5 pounds! Haha...
I am very, super, insanely behind in math. (No shock there, I put it off. hehe) Like I'm talking double math for the rest of this semester!! Which is insane!! I loathe math! I don't want double math! Groan..... Nothing I can do I guess...but chug through it.... (Catch the blood red ink association? :p)
Guess what?! We have double volleyball as well! But that I am super excited about! (In case I haven't previously mention, I LOVE VOLLEYBALL!!!) We now have 2 hour practice at our gym on Tuesdays and then League starting next Friday in Norman! I don't know how many hours a day league is though. It's exciting! I'm a bit nervous about league...but I'll just not think about that! AND it turns out that even though I'm on the Beginner Low team, I'm a Beginner Medium alternate! :D I'm not the only one, there's also a boy alternate, but at least I AM one! :D So at our last practice before break I got to play a whole bunch because we scrimmaged a lot and I played on my team and the next one up! W00T! :D So much fun! :D
Band starts up again this week! Our Christmas Concert went really well! I didn't have any 'solos'! Hehe. And I stuck to the key signature! But there were some spots I got off on my counting *cough* because I don't count very much *cough* and so I just didn't play there. But it was lots of fun! Got to see and hang out with lots of my friends as well as play my flute! (In case you haven't noticed, my friends are the reason I love the activities I'm in. Hehe).
Choir doesn't start again until the end of January. OBU has a weird trimester schedule and so our choir schedule follows that. But our Christmas concert for that went really well too! I don't remember if I told you or not, but I got the solo! :D The dress rehearsal the day before the concert where I sang my solo in front of the older choir and mine went fairly awfully. I was nervous and was having issues getting from my ending pitch to my starting pitch because I sang the whole thing through twice. It was embarrassing and discouraging.... BUT the actual performance went fantastic!! No problems at all! We didn't end up with it on tape because the camera memory card was full by then but that's okay. I know, and everyone told me, that I did great! I was quite proud of myself! I'd had other solos. But in English. And far less challenging music too. And not in front of that many people either! Ahhhh! Hehe! Well, that's really all that's going on with me school wise! If you'd like to learn about the other wises of me, you could always talk to me! Instead of just reading my blog like a creeper! Haha, JK! I know my blog is just too good to not read it! :D Well over and out folks! Until next time, I bid you adieu. (See! My French is getting better! hehe)
