(no subject)
I have nothing to do (rare) so I guess i'll make an appearance. School is going really well right now. VC is starting to get more stressful than it was in the beginning, with more projects overlapping and so many things due at once. The first time that happened was last weekend, when I had a double weekend for marching band (away game and allentown). But i'm really proud of myself because i've been getting things done early and doing pretty well on time management. I've been getting on the top shelf lately - i guess i'll explain that real quick:
In the classroom, there are three 'shelves'. When we have a project due, we all put our projects on the middle shelf. Then Ray eventually critiques them and goes around putting the exceptional ones on the top shelf which is worth the most points. He's supposed to put the bad ones on the bottom shelf (which he says is sometimes better than the middle shelf...who knows...everything is complicated), but he hasn't been doing that - everything either stays where it is or goes to the top shelf. It is a real honor if he does put your project up on the top shelf. sometimes he puts projects up there that I really don't like..but he's the 'client' and it's whatever strikes his interest. for this one project, i've made it to the top shelf three times now (it's a 12 part project) and I think that's pretty good odds. In the other VC class we did a project called 'line personality' where we had to find an image of a celebrity and draw that image four times using four different pen and ink techniques. out of over 50 projects, only 4 got put on the top shelf, and mine was one of them. It really makes your day when you get top shelf.
On the other hand, I did not do well at all in the first round of '24 photos'. only 6 of 24 were due and mine didn't make it anywhere. I already submitted my next 12 which are due sunday.
Soon i'll have all my projects online and you can all check them out. So to make it through this year's cut, I need to stay in the top 60%. I think i'm there so far....I really think I can do it....i better do it...or i'm screwed.
I regret doing marching band this year. I just dread it every time I have to go to practice or whatever. However, I cannot wait until indoor. We're doing the song 'Why' by Annie Lennox (when I heard it I remembered having heard it before in like the 90s or something). it's a slow pretty song, which is fabulously opposite from last year's ho-down show. We're supposedly wearing long white dresses - which could be horrible or wonderful. we'll see. I'm just really looking forward to the whole indoor season, and i'm probably not doing marching band again. 7-8 seasons is enough.
I'm going to try to get to the SHS home show next saturday. I'm really excited to see the show because I heard it was amazing and they win every show. I'm jealous. and we never got to wear sexy gangster guard uniforms. way to go, mom, for doing all the awesome cool things like going away to band camp and having sexy costumes AFTER I graduated.
I'm really itching to dye my hair something. Nothing drastic like black or blonde..just a change. But i can't or else my weave for guard won't match =(
Anyway, homecoming is tomorrow...probably in the rain. joy. and i'll be there performing probably in a huge puffy UDMB raincoat. whatever, i'm getting drunk tomorrow night.
so i hope you enjoyed reading this, and just so you know, i scored 42/42 on some quiz about who on my friends list wrote what journal entry - so yes i read everything, i just never write =)
