Ok. So.
Not too much happened today. In summary: wake up, check my bank account balance, concert band, cramming during spare, bio test, 30 hour famine pledge form, commencement fees, dixie band, Math "Quiz", physics, Act 1 with UAMPO, Baseball tryouts, go home. I guess it was kinda busy... The whole day I was like "How long until the weekend..?" but it was Friday. It really felt like a Monday.
So, the 30 hour famine is next week. We had to get our pledge forms in by today. I kinda didn't ask anyone for any donations or whatever and there's a minimum of 5$ if you want to participate. I had always thought I would be donating some money, but I thought I'd have asked someone else... at least one person... xP Anyways, I go to write a chack and remember that I've just written a bunch this week and only had like 20 extra dollars in my chequing account, so I go to the computer to check. I sign in and scroll down the page to find out I got 186$ pay this week. I was pretty surprised.
It may have been the combination of having extra money and having gone without shoes yesterday, but I proceeded to write a hundred dollar cheque. When I went to my E-wing locker KN was at her locker. She's one of the girls in charge of the 30 hour famine, so I was going to give her my pledge form. She had to run off to class and told me to give it to her at lunch.
After that Bio test I went to my locker. She was there. I gave it to her. She thanked me for handing it in and then I ran off to pay the commencement fees in the foyer. 22$ to rent a gown and cap for the graduation ceremony... we get to keep the hat though. The line was really long because they have only been collecting since Tuesday and all the grads have to pay or they can't go to the ceremony. I then had to go to band. We have a gig next week.
Anyways, after school I was packing my bag and everything so I ask about other people's pledge forms, like how many have been handed in and how much she had collected. She replied that only a few people had handed it in and that the last day had been extended to Monday and that she collected about 30$. I reply showing no emotion just "I see." or something. She realizes that she didn't see how much I had "collected" so she gets it out of her locker. She then starts saying enthusiastically how great I am or something. It made me smile.
So, yesterday I really didn't get much studying done, obviously, so today being a Day 1, luckily I had my spare first period. A lot of people have a first period spare, so it's sometimes easy to study and sometimes very hard. It depends who it is that you are hanging out with. If JC is anywhere nearby nothing is getting done. Just saying...
So AP, RM, MR, RQ, and I were cramming in the back corner of the library. It was kinda funny. We all have Bio together Period 2 and we all didn't study enough. About 5 minutes into studying we begin to wonder maybe its a day 1 and we are missing the test, but its like what are the chances that all five of us got our schedules mixed up..? The test was okay. I really havn't done enough homework for this unit...
This year I've just been too busy and procrastinating too much to do all my homework so by the Unit test I cram all the knowledge into short term memory, pass the test saying "I'm gonna do my homework next time" then do my homework a few days then stop altogether until just before the next test when I cram again... xP
So, ya. Dixie was kinda reborn this year because they are easy to move around for gigs. Only seven people, seven stands, seven instruments, and many many gigs... So we had to have rehearsal at lunch to select two songs for next Wednesday's gig. Not a lot got done because DS never stops playing drums and a few of us had to pay commencement fees.
We chose two songs, but I don't really like the second one... There are a few parts in it I havn't fixed yet... and I forgot my trombone at school today, so I can't practice... unless I take it home tommorow after Musical rehearsal... but when will I practice..? I only have a few spare hours this weekend with rehearsal 10-4, worship team 5-7, YF 7-9, sleep sometime in between, church 9-12:30, and work 2-10... So I may not bring it home for practice...
Ha. So, on Fridays we usually have a Math "Quiz". Our teacher doesn't know how to teach according to some of the other students in my class, most actually, and his questions are always more complicated then he thinks they are, or they are phrased awkwardly, or maybe the question is impossible except for that one kid who has been doing kumon calculus for a while (I'm not sure how long..) Anyway, the "quiz" took the whole period and everyone was complaining. My complaint is that he didn't review trig or radians, but that's mostly because I took gr 12 Functions in summer school where you just cram for 2 weeks then forget everything.
Musical rehearsal, same as usual, but with the band and a malfunctioning set of lighting cues. See we have been rehearsing with a CD of the songs and the music is different from our musc, so whenever there's even a slight variation or we have to start over all the drama kids blame the band... OUAMPO (Once Upon A Mattress Pit Orchestra) has 15 people in it. It's much harder to get 15 people together in time then just the singer and a CD. Give them some slack...
I had to leave rehearsal at 4pm for baseball tryouts. We warmed up, did some grounder practice, hit some wiffle balls, then played a game 7 vs 6 with wiffle balls. All of this happened in the gym, so not much outfeild. The funny thing was when I went up to bat and got a homerun. xP Soon after everyone else started getting homeruns. And I struck out.. xP I still have room for improvement, especially with grounders in outfield.. but I impressed Mr. IO who likes the fact that some artsy students are trying out.
After the try-out I went back to the caf to check if the rehearsal was still going. It wasn't, but Miss CW and KC were resetting all the lighting cues again..
So, Ya. I'm gonna go to bed. *yawn*
