(no subject)
We got to mess about with chemicals in biology today. HCl and the like, which is enough to validate MY enrollment in that class. Eh heh.
Today was chair auditions for orchestra and I'm exactly where I was before...3rd stand. I mean, not that it's a bad thing, because Feathers can't really see me (always a plus). I just thought I was did better than a 93. But apparently I was flat, and I'm not sure if that's the high part or the slow part he was talking about, and I didn't use enough vibrato on the slow part. I personally think vibrato's a little superfluous when you're playing over the fingerboard, but I guess that's just me and my non-understanding of everything musical. I couldn't play my own cello because it's taken to sliding out of tune mid-note, and I suppose I could blame it on that, but I won't because it was my fault. Anywho, I chose to sit on the inside because I'm used to it, and Tabitha's my new stand partner...eh.
The AP Government test was okay. I don't think I did terrific on the multiple choice part but I'm fairly sure I got full credit on the essay. I didn't even HAVE to spend all that time cutting out shit for the left sides I hadn't filled out, but whatever, at least now I don't have to worry about it.
English was okay as well. We did Mrs. Dalloway presentations on the lesser characters like Sally, Septimus, Richard and Peter, and that was pretty slack. Our next section is "Tragedy" and we're going to be beating Oedipus Rex to death. I at least hope I like it. I've always loved Greek mythology so who knows? And I stayed after to make up the Dalloway quote quiz and I actually recognized most of the quotes, having read most of the book in the classes leading up to English.
Then we ran to the footbridge, and now here I am, dicking around instead of doing homework (i.e. writing a related rate problem for calculus and studying for the test). My parents won't be home tonight so I'll be able to run free and sing loudly and dance like a buffoon.
Except I won't because I always feel like my cats are judging me...
Ahem.
