I know I'm procrastinating.  What can I say?  I'm good at it.  I'm working on a major works data sheet on Lear for English class tomorrow.  After that, I have to study for my Lear test, do my learning log and study for a Chemisty test, study for my music theory quiz (chord progressions need to be memorized), figure out Calculus, and study for the second half of my psychology test.  It will be a fun evening.  Matt joked with me and told me I wasn't going to start on all of it until 9:00, which is true most nights, but I told him I'd have it all done before 9:00 tonight.  I shall try.  I'm just taking a little break.  I just got to analyze the style of Lear and cite examples and significance of lines containing blank verse (iambic pentameter that doesn't rhyme) and imagery.  Now I'm supposed to relate seven characters back to my group's proposed themes.  Yup, that is why I'm procrastinating.  It's giving me time to mull it all over in my mind... or just avoid it for a while.

 

Today has been fun.  This morning, Matt and I went over to Hanes with a few other Reagan kids and played Christmas carols with them and Hanes kids, plus our directors first at Hanes then at Central Office.  We ate Wendy's for lunch, then headed back to Reagan for our last three classes (the only ones I take at Reagan anyway).  I played mellophone all morning, and besides the few times I couldn't remember the key or couldn't see the music (4 of us on one stand), it was really good.  I enjoyed it a whole bunch.

 

Reagan was decent, too.  I wrote a decent psych essay for the test, which I'm calling decent only because I remembered halfway through who Robert Baron was and what he concluded from his experiments, which was a big part of the question.  I read that around 11:00 last night =D.  I don't know anyone else who actually remembered him, so I was pretty excited.  My mouth was doing alright until I took out my oboe to play 7th period, which did not work at all because then I realized how sore it was.  I'm going to go ice it in a little while.

 

I'm pretty happy with my life right now, besides my hair, which although it looks alright, it gets on my nerves.  I keep joking that I'm going to shave it all off.  I haven't gotten to that point yet, but it sure is aggravating.  ;

 

The last day of school for the year is tomorrow, and while I'll be glad to get the break, it means less time around my friends, mostly meaning less time around Matt.  I'll live, but it will be sad.  Christmas is supposed to be a happy time, and I want to make sure I spend it with people who make me happy.

 

"You make school way more fun than it should be."  I like that line a lot.

 

Alright, it's back to Lear... ugh.

Re: Christmas Caroling at school
Hey, you're an oboist! I used to play professionally but had to give it up due to arthritis... Sounds like things are really crazy with school - hang in there and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas break!

blank verse and its iambic pentameter and imagery -- we studied that in Shakespeare works too and just like you as well we studied how if affects the audience and such.  That was what that big oral I mentioned earlier was about, lol.  I just had to pick out things like imagery and maybe iambic pentameter and explain its effect and such.  Anyway, pretty cool.  We never had to read Lear, though, only Macbeth and Hamlet.
