wow. i'm really tired.
had my oral commentary this morning, i did pretty well i think, considering i hadn't read half the book of the passage i was explicating. i talked for 13 minutes and was happy about that.
working on TOK after school, my brain wasn't functioning properly. i wasn't making the connection between my head and my words. plus i needed to be at percussion, we have a show next week.
i got there and no one told me what i was doing... brad explained it to me though, thank you.
play two quarter notes and say "shhh." that's what i was doing, and i was counting in 4, and i had no idea why i was wrong. was i supposed to add a beat? probably. they yelled at me for counting. i'm sorry. is it in 5/4 or 4/4? you don't know? okay. scott cut me off when i asked a question, and i almost started crying, but maybe it was for the better. my problem is when i don't know why i'm not right, and some of the people around me are confused too. when i'm not the only one that is confused, and the music sounds bad, i think we should take the minute to explain it properly. i wasn't sure if he was talking about me... my attitude was fine when i got there, i just got really, really frustrated.
i'm sorry i didn't go to dinner with her, i didn't have much money and i wanted good times. and amanda and erinn said that i didn't want to associate with them when i'm with the drumline. that is totally not true. when you're grabbing my arm and dragging me when i have to get a ride to dinner, i need to go, i'm sorry.
i really really don't like caffeine. it helped my oral commentary and my auditions, but i have a headache and am tired now.
her knee is extremely comfortable. it makes me smile.
