Braces & Debate
Braces are off; please don't go away with the idea that I have horrible teeth- I don't, they're pretty average. It's the whole overbite/jaw thing. It was plates/braces or jaw surgery and apparently I was too young for that to be healthy. :P Appointment delayed by half an hour but they are *off*. Actually, the whole removal lost its novelty- afterall, you just....forget the braces are there, after a while and that while has long since past. *pokes* Now it feels like my gums are all swollen and teeth are all slimy and smooth. Bleh.
We've got Regional debates this afternoon, going up to TA at Four which means I'll have to miss Fencing, because it takes about an hour to get there. *pokes*. Impromptu. *double poke* and it will be at least 8 before I get back which means any hopes of sleeping tonight is gone. *thwacks* . My violin teacher is going to get a nasty surprise.
Whipped out the old Bartok yesterday; it's one of those things that's...not a cliche as such but a landmark. But like a gutter; landmark, rather like Vivaldi's concerto in B4 and Bach Double, everyone knows how to play it, everyone hates playing it but everyone wants to make sure everyone else knows they can play it even though it's easy and boring. B4 & Bach Double is for idiots and babies one of those 'group play-and-let's-be-idiots-at-this-party' type, whereas Bartok is for laughs. Romanian dances. Played in the dorms, it was similar to:
"Oh yes, let's play and kill these harmonics in rememberance of the days when we went -oooh- and *bop*"
I mean, it *is* rather fun, though the only thing you do is play it really fast and as we are told and told again- well, not anymore, but still- speed is for noobs. Not quoted. :P, but there you go. beginner stuff. You can play it. Really. *hands you teh music. But the thing is, I haven't praticed *anything* I was supposed to. -shrug- Better think about debates though there is nothing to think- it's going to take up all my 'free time' today, at anyrate.
French assessment tomorrow. Meh. Memorising vocab are toodles, though.
Ah, they'll be making the ____________ (insert region name here) team from these comps,pbbt. I nearly got dragged into the JUNIOR team because technically, I can enter in that team, though there probably will be compilcations later if we make it into the __________ team later in the year. I refused point-blank. What were they *thinking*? I'm not angry or insulted...just...amused and rather frustrated. They tried to do this for WaiMaths as well, and mind you, we *did* come second but still...I don't know what they'll do without me. I mean, WaiMaths is for....how many years ago? *rolls eyes*
I am so not going to be dragged back down into the junior department. I take back what I said before- it *is* an insult.
I'm not supposed to be typing this, but Chem is so boring today; all we're doing is little books and formulas though its going to be over soon so there it goes and it's clean and all but not as clean as physics. We don't have the option of phil. classes here- very few NZ school offers Philosophy so I'm jealous of all you Yankees out there who *have* those courses and I'm going to bop those who have those courses and don't take them. I'm so jealous. at least I'm be able to take some in Taiwan every year. pbbt.
This is such a spammy entry.
