Now my school day.

~ AP Music Theory ~

Music Theory today was most definitely quite the experience.

The only homework we ever have is "Listen to Music"

We have to sing, analyze music, write music!!!

Today we pretty much did what every class does on the first day... Papers and hand outs O: But we did get to listen to music, and then do a little worksheet on them. We listened to "Canon in D" and then "Taco Bell Canon" which is essentially an A Capella version of "Canon in D"

We also have two field trips for the year. The first one, we get to see the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Dress Rehearsal and the second is an Opera Dress Rehearsal... Fun fun fun... And apparently I have to take the AP exam since it's being paid for :\

~ Latin IV AP ~

Best Class Ever. (: We have over an hour of it for the next two days. We start translating tomorrow I suppose... lol

Molly and Jess visited, I was quite happy.

~ AP Government ~

Talk about a boring class. At least it was when I walked in, I did my usual Class Greeting and No One... I mean no one said a single thing... Oh but when Brandon Kalm comes in, everyone's excited... Lol Anywho, third AP class of the day. And it's the first one with a text book. Not to bad really, I like the teacher. She has a good vibe, and the Reading Assignments are at least reasonable :D

~ Lunch ~

Lunch... Was a disappointment... I was supposed to go out to lunch with Jessi, Bob's GF since she know anyone in A Lunch, and I stood where I told her to meet for like 15 minutes with a no show... Kinda a boring lunch, but now I'm eating with Maggi, Sarah... and... I don't know, I need to figure out his name.

~ Pals ~

Pals... Wow... What a class.. Well... we didn't do much except the obligatory "Getting to know each other Activities" and we picked our Committees... I'm in Photography and Scrapbooking which means I get to work with the Yearbook from time to time... And guess what? Fundraising Starts this Saturday at the football game... Yay for Dr. Pepper Cherry... O.o

~ Symphonic Band ~

Wow... Can the first day get any lamer? Yes, why yes it can... BAND EVEN FELL UNDER THE READ THE HANDBOOK AND HANDOUTS SPELL...

~ English IV H ~

3rd best class of the day. We got ZERO hand outs. And what's even better? We got a free notebook for our Writer's Notebooks :D Not that I enjoy them, but I always love "Stationary" items (: But this year the Entries will be much easier. She said they had to be long enough to finish the thought, so it can be short or long :D

~ American Sign Language I ~

2nd Favorite Class. I mean it's a foreign language, why isn't it one of my favorites!

Lol, The teacher didn't realize I was in Latin as well, since they share classrooms, until I took my Lion from the desk XD

We learn'd the ASL Survival Signs and then we learned the Alphabet.. Which was fun... A lot of new faces in the class as well (:

~ Marching Band ~

Oooh boy my favorite part of the day. /sarcasm
It's not really my favorite part of the day really... Kinda... I don't know what to call it, but it was horrible...

My left eye, was going all funky. Like for serious. It was straining against itself for no reason. It felt like it was shrinking and then returning to it's size all inside my eye socket... Imagine if you will. A... Hmm... A Stress Ball. It was pushing against itself and all.. It was horrible. Had to get an ice pack... And then I was told it was turning like really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really Red... (On a note, whenever you see my repeat something many times... I really type it out... Yeah, sometimes I type out a single word one hundred times. XD)

Well that's my day really...

Another post on my opinions, at least more in depth with highlights and what nots.

Songs that Spoke to Me

silky heart
Vocals: Horie Yui
Lyrics: Satomi
Composition: Fujisue Miki
Arrangement: Kawaguchi Keita
My Silky Love, all the while, for 24 hours
My Silky Love, every time when I think of you
My Silky Love, my irritating feelings
My Silky Love, simply overflow
Even though it’s easy to say ‘I love you’
When you come in front of me
My characteristics arise and interfere with me
If it’s the usual, I can go on boldly
Even though that’s my personality
No matter how hard I try, I can’t tear down the wall
I want you to realize…my feelings
So I always send a gaze
Of, “I really love you,” at you
With my greatest courage!
When I met you, I finally noticed
My flimsy silky heart
Even if I was awkward at love
The scar of romance that I almost forgot about
Suddenly started to hurt with a twinge
If I don’t say ‘I love you’ like myself
Someday…I’ll become weaker than I am now
If I say ‘I love you’, then I can be at ease
The truth is, even though I know that
When I sound it out, you seem to leave me
I wonder, what do you think
Of me?
At our current distance we’re merely friends, right?
I just might be whitewashing it
But I don’t want to get hurt, it’s just that alone…
Or so I persuaded myself
And I just ran away
If my flimsy silky heart
Gets hurt this time, then I’m sure
I won’t be able to love anyone ever again
The splitting sound that echoes in my chest
Is at the bottom of my memories, I’m sure
The sewing kit that I forgot to put away
On that day should be around somewhere…
All the while, for 24 hours
My Silky Love, every time when I think of you
My Silky Love, my irritating feelings
My Silky Love, simply overflow
My Silky Love, all the while, for 24 hours
My Silky Love, every time when I think of you
My Silky Love, my irritating feelings
My Silky Love, simply overflow
When I met you, I finally noticed
My flimsy silky heart
Even if I was awkward at love
Even if I were to pretend to be strong on purpose
To hide my weaknesses, I’m sure
That I’ll properly tell you my feelings
And ‘I love you’ like myself someday


Orange
Vocals: Kugimiya Rie, Horie Yui, Kitamura Eri as Aisaka Taiga, Kushieda Minori, Kawashima Ami
Lyrics: Watanabe Akiko
Composition: Funta3
Arrangement: Hashimoto Yukari
On a sleepless night
I sigh all alone
How’s everyone?
I feel kind of lonely
That’s not like me
So stop laughing
It’s just that I don’t know
My true self
Into the broad earth, a single seed
Extended its roots
And bore fruit that was still unripe
The fruit wants to hurry up
And turn orange-colored
Basking in your light
My ideals and dreams only expand
Notice me, hey
I tried to eat
An orange today, too
But it was still sour and I cried
Because it’s unlike me to leave any behind
I ate it all
I loved it; I felt like crying
I loved it; I loved it
Even if they’re similar, they’re different
Mandarins and oranges
Friends and lovers
And our 2 hearts, too
I didn’t want to get hurt
So I fled
When I did that, not even light
Would shine upon me
They’re miracles, right?
Encounters and love
Seeds and buds
Even for the fruit that was still unripe
The color orange makes me recall
The sunset glow that I saw
On that day
It seemed as if our 2 shadows
Held hands together
I wondered if the oranges
Would turn sweet someday
Or would they wither?
I didn’t want to learn of my future
So I ate it all
It was sour…
I loved it, but I felt like crying
I loved it, so I felt like crying
The fruit wants to hurry up
And turn orange-colored
Basking in your light
My ideals and dreams only expand
Notice me, hey
I tried to eat
An orange today, too
But again, it was sour and I cried
Because it’s unlike me to leave any behind
I ate it all; I loved it
I felt like crying; I loved it
I loved it
I loved it; so sour
I felt like crying; I loved it

I think these are self explanatory. Why do I feel so depressed today.

Work of a Friend

One Moment, One Person

By Abigail Zandevakili

There'll always be a moment,
that one moment,
where nothing else matters in the world
because a person you're with,
that one person,
is all you're thinking about,
all you care about,
and that one moment
with that one person
pushes all those fears
and weaknesses
and troubles
out the door,
and makes you forget
all the wrong in life
because that one moment,
that one person,
is right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't know what is about Abigail, but for some reason. I just feel like... I don't know. It's as if, all the feelings I've ever wanted to say, she was able to do.
