The 2nd chair sax challenged me for my position a few days ago. Most unfortunately, I lost due to a turn of events that played against me. For starters:
1. We're playing a JAZZ piece in a CLASSICAL band. Out of the 6 saxes there, I'm the only one not in jazz band.
2. Being in a classical band, one's supposed to use a classical mouthpiece. Again, I was the only one using a classical mouthpiece while the rest were using jazz.
3. I've never been a jazz person. Everyone else has experience in jazz.
But at least the director admitted to the race being extremely close. Hence, I plan to challenge him again and reclaim the spot. No doubt people are taking advantage of Asian stereotypes and trying to mock me... (i.e. YOU HAVE FAILED YOUR FAMILY YOU'RE ASIAN YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO LOSE BRAAAAH)
I'm currently writing out sheet music for the Gold/Silver/Crystal songs (The HG GBP versions to be exact). I've already completed the National Park, I'm partway in to doing the Surfing theme, and I'm planning on doing Route 26, SS Aqua, and Olivine Lighthouse soon. I'm playing them on my Clarinet and Saxophone(Even though my sax sounds WAY better).
So to start my day, I got my results for my AP exam for biology. I got a 2 out of 5. Thank god it does affect my end of the year grade. Then, I had guard practice. There I learned I can't march this year, because I don't have health insurance. So when I got home I was in a bad mood, when Cory tells me I got mail from Spirit of Atlanta. I made it, but I can't do it because I need 4 years of marching or impending marching skill. I can't march this year, so I only have three years. Then I get a call from UVa about my tour date. Well it was moved to the day of debate prelims, so I can't go. And my end of the year paper for history was deleted
AP classes are hard, I currently take 2 at the moment: AP European History and AP Biology. In addition, this week have have AP mock exams, where they simulate what the actual AP exam would look like, but it counts as my final exam in the class for the semester. The actual AP tests for me are are about 1 week away; this school year went by quickly for me.

Staying home from school today due to a fit of coughing...I should be used to it by now, as I usually get sick at least once during the school year.
But out of curiosity, I was wondering, is it normal for your chest to hurt really badly when you have a cough? |
I watched The Avengers yesterday. It was pure awesomeness. I highly recommend it.
1 – CyrusNearly forgot to mention that Thursday was one of the greatest days I've ever had. I skipped most of my classes to practice my instrument for the concert and to study for a government final in 4th period. In those 3 periods, other than practicing and studying, I wrote a song, played Tekken for the first time, and BROKE A GUITAR~! We sounded amazing in the concert, too~
I'm gonna miss the seniors when they leave...

My hair is thinning out now, like there are spots where I can see through to my scalp. At first I was worried about it, but then I saw it was happening to everyone else too.

I feel like an idiot. I legitimately don't know where Brazil and the Mississippi River are. How did I ever pass geography?

Hey people. I just wanted to tell everyone that I put a summary of what the Hunger Games is on the pre-story of the FF. You can find the link in my signature.
That wasn't for advertising as much as to aware, people have told me they dont read it because they don't know anything about what the Hunger Games is. So there you go.

Also, I GOT MY BRACES OFF!!!!!
2 – Reuniclus, SpikyEaredPichu96The Film Music lecture for Friday was just an old Santa-looking guy banging random keys on his Korg.
I was so disappointed.
2 – GalliumGrant, 7dewott8Went to the Canadian Air Museum in Hamilton and went to see the HMCS Hiada today. Marvelous ship. Also had my heart stepped on a couple times yesterday. Won't go into much details on that, bottom line I'm alright now.
