Random stuff
Figured I'd post while trying to wake up for school. x.x
I have 5 songs up on Youtube now. I think they turned out pretty well. Not flawless, but good enough that I didn't feel so bad sharing with the world. I want to record more, but I haven't been feeling well lately. I'm hoping that the recent prescriptions will help fix things, even though the doctor wouldn't refill the prednisone yet. >.>
I slacked a little the past two weeks I think. I don't know what the results of my first report and midterm test are yet in my History of Opera class, but I know it's not going to be an A. I'm hoping for a B at least. The report was difficult to write, because I felt like I was grasping at straws trying to figure out a lot to say about what she said we should discuss in our paper. We have to do a second one, which I feel like will be even more difficult, because it'll be based on a performance I'll only see once (as opposed to a filmed opera). Will have to shell out some cash and make a lot of notes after the performance. x.x
I missed a part of a chapter for Japanese, which kinda threw me off when we had the chapter test. Kanji kicks my ass if I don't write it out a lot. I got a C on the last test, but I made up for it by doing better on Monday's quiz. Our midterm today is to perform a skit based on what we learned in the current and previous chapters. I was worried at first because I was having trouble discerning words in the Japanese translation the bishounen wrote based off of my English script. But after memorizing it, I can recognize the words being used now, so I don't feel like I'm doing it purely by rote. I hope those in our class will understand it, because it's pretty funny for the middle part.
There's a midterm for early US History tonight as well. I'm hoping it won't be terribly difficult. I've felt good about watching the videos, but the reading of the textbook? Not so much. >.> We have to do a library assignment and a map assignment as a means to study for exams that'll be based on them as well. I'm not looking forward to that at all. I'm hopeful though that I can do well regardless. I want to keep my GPA high for a change, and passing this class will erase a past mistake.
Time to hop in the car and drive!
