Perform My Own Composition in Front of People (read all 4 entries…)
Done and Done 5 months ago

Well, my teacher was playing the melody on violin, but since I’m the student, she wanted the piano part with her to accompany me, but the song was 6 pages long, and the pageturner got confused. So the parts weren’t really together most of the song. I’m sad my first performance didn’t go so well. That being said, it seemed like everyone really liked the song, and I’m glad to say I wasn’t anymore nervous playing that song in front of people than any other… in fact, I was more excited playing it than all my others.

Gasp! 6 months ago

I made it!

This has been the first time I tried out for a dancing/spinning/sport… thing in my life, and… I sucked. Like in the clinics, the teacher scolded me the most out of everyone. Someone else in the guard assured me that she was just doing that because she thought I had potential, but I still felt bad about myself at the end of each clinic. Yet on audition day, we went over the routine… I actually got it! I struggled all the days we were learning it, and I always forgot it when I got home, so I couldn’t practice, but I actually knew what to do!

So… yeah, follow your heart… seriously. I’m glad I stook with it.

Edit: “Where there is no vision, a people perish.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson. I love how relevant the random quotes on the right are. Although “perish” is a little too… deadly sounding. I’d prefer “sink.”



Pass the AP Human Geography exam
Am I allowed to talk about the exam? 6 months ago

Probably not. I was so scared about taking my first AP exam, but my preparation paid off. I knew I would be okay with the multiple choice, but it was the FRQs that scared me. But 2 of the FRQs were really easy for me. The other… well, I know I at least got a point or two.

Even though I won’t get my grade until July, I’m checking this off. Even if I get a 1, it was a big step for me to take my first AP exam… not to mention, taking Human Geography this year taught me an important lesson: Don’t slack off in AP classes!
