Listening to: Holiday-American Idiot
Feeling: busy
Well, It has been a while since my last entry, so I figured I would write. Also, I have been uber busy lately and since I have a little time to relax right now, I figured I should write about my week in my diary.
This week was pretty hectic at school. We are reading a Tale of Two Cities in English and I didn't do too well on the first quiz, because...well...I didn't actually read teh chapters! I read sparknotes and although they helped, they didn't get me an A on the quiz. In geography we are watching this movie called "Not Without My Daughter" and it is SO sad! It's about this American woman who marries a man from Iran and has a little girl with him and they live in America. But then, the husband talks the woman into going on vacation in Iran and so they go with their daughter and then after two weeks of vacation is up, the husband tells the woman that he wants to live in Iran and its really dangerous over there and the woman is trying to get home to America, but every time she tries, her husband finds out and beats her! yea, but I haven't seen the ending yet, but I am sure it is good. It stars that woman from Mrs. Doubtfire.
In drama this week, we had to perform our scenes in the media center for a bunch of classes. Mine was called This is a Test and it's about this girl named Ellen who is taking a test and all the questions are like really crazy and her brain is going insane the whole time during the exam and its really funny. I played Ellen and Hilary played Lois, Ellen's friend. I think the performance went pretty well.
Toorrow, I have a private piano and voice recital that I have been preparing for all semester. I'm playing a Chopin Wltz a Chopin Mazurka, A Schumann piece, the Grieg concerto theme, and an etude by Duvernoy. I'm singing Whistle Down the Wind, Cockeyed Optimist, Danny Boy, Mister Snow, and Mcavity the Myster Cat with my friend Lucy. I guess what im singing is kinda not that exciting, but I guess it's okay for a voice recital, i mean, it's not a concert or anything.
I am sort of nervous about my recital, because a lot of people are coming, but I am pretty excited too. I mean, I can't wait to have it out of the way! haha.
TOmorrow night, after the recital, is the LPT dance. That should be fun. I am going with Andy and Meagan is going with Jay. We are going to Yesterday's before-hand, which should be interesting...haha.
I couldn't really afford a dress for LPT, because I already bought a really expensive recital dress, so I borrowed this really cute black dress from Lucy. I love it! It is solid black except for a pink flower that is pinned to the hip and it come up a little above my knees. I bought hot pink shoes to go with it, so it should be fun.
My mom is freaking out because she has to make SO much food for my recital tomorrow..haha, poor mom!
I have been practicing piano so much lately and I even stayed home from school today to rest and practice, like my piano teacher told me to. It was ultra nice! I went with my mom and Nancy to depratos and I got a shrimp sandwich that was so good, but SO big, so I had to get them to help me eat it.
I have a TOn of projects due on Monday and Tuesday. It is crazy how teachers just pile work on at the end of the year like this! I mean, why didn't they think to space out all their stuff before the year started so we could jsut end the school year normally instead of with so much work to do! I hate ho they do that.
Well, I guess that is about everything in a nutshell...I better go call Andy about our plans for tomorrow night.
Chao!
P.S. I really wanna teach myself how to speak French! It seems so fun!
