What am I doing right now? Well other than typing this up, I am waiting for my turn on guitar hero III. My sister has been wanting to get it since she came home and she finally did. sincs she bought the game I get to buy the 2nd guitar for us. right now suck at it, but after failing twice on easy, I managed to pass 2 songs, which is better than what I can say for some others here playing the game as well. and of course my sister has to show off since one of the guys up at her school had the game she can actually play better than the rest of us who are playing it for the first time. Although I still perfer the Sing Star game that we were singing at my friends b-day party. I was half decent at that one along with everyone else seeing as 3 out of the 4 of us are singers.

Never Leave Homework to the Last Minute.
And I mean the absolute last minute. My extra credit vocal course ended on Friday, no exam because the projects that were to be presented last month before March Break had been finished yesterday. I didn't choose my song until after others had started to perform theirs. I have been going between 3 or 4 songs for the past while trying to choose one. I ended up singing Cry by Mandy Moore. And now I am trying to finish my concert critique, the one due after I saw a concert at Christmas. Handing it in after the course is technically over, I is hard to write since I lost the program and am trying to make up stuff that sounds plausible. Since there are so few marks any bad mark will drag you down to the depths of despair due to such a low mark. I need that high 80 to balance off my marks from last semester, that way if my marks slip a bit this semester it won't matter so much. And now due to forgetfulness, and tiredness I must print the horrible, disaster that I call my concert critique to be handed in.

Some what of an Easy Week
Well lets see, monday and tuesday was repeats for the students who were absent due to the play. Today I only had math followed by retreat, which was quite boring and nearly kept me from getting my mid-term report. Tomorrow is the soccer buy-out, which means anyone in the school can by out meaning my friends will all be out of class. Plus there is the charity bbq tomorrow for the sister school of the high school that I attend. As far as I know it is for more books and such, but that may have been from the bake sale since I heard we were over the goal by quite a bit so they could buy more than just books, meaning that this will go more towards the over all school I guess. Then Friday is out of uniform, and the last friday of the month, so some of my teachers allow a bit more freedom.

So the paper is finished and ready to be handed in, the icing has decided that it is never going to set. I never got the copy of the one news article I needed for my paper, so I had to off of the top of my head, since I didn't want to search through my bag for the summary I used for readin during the presentation. At least the presentation went well, the teacher was surprised by some of the articles that we used. Most people in the class so far are mainly searching from Canadian newspapers. Me, I figured there might be more variety if we also used articles from the states. Another thing was to use articles from nearby. I mean, getting the news from the Toronto Star isn't bad, bt if you want a good presentation you need something from close to home, something that people may have heard others talking about. The one from the States was quite thought provoking. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/books/review/Brookhiser-t.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=religious+intent&st=nyt&oref=slogin (the link for the article Religious Intent. Guess what subject the assignment was for.) So it is now time to kick back, and forget about having to write another paper until we are told when the next assignment paper is due. Although if its not for a bit then I may see if I can get the topic for my choice topic paper cleared. Right know the decision is choosing between writing about the whole Henry VIII and his changing an entire countries religion, or connecting a religion to a book series. Which to see about first????
What do I Have to Show for a day of work as of right now?????
So far (since I woke up at 10) what do I have to show for my work. Well lets see, a half written paper that needs to be finished since its due tomorrow. A bunch of dishes washed, and I mean by hand no dishwasher to speak of. Two chocolate cakes both iced and waiting for the icing to cool (note to self: find a better icing recipe, preferably vanilla, so it can be dyed). Chicken fingers that are in the oven right now cooking to be eaten. The post that I finished from yesterday (refer to last post). And some tv time. Its like yesterday, I spent the entire day (excluding my breaks) cleaning my room, which is hard to do when you have that brand new book that you have yet to read sitting right there next to you (finished it later, book suggestion: Marked- P.C Cast). And I just found out that the Chapters nearby now has Frostbite: A Vampire Academy Novel- Richelle Mead. And now the chicken fingers are beginning to call me and I have a paper to finish writing seeing that right now it is part of a project worth as much as an ISU, or even more seeing as it is at 11% of my mark right now.

Feel Like Screaming
So my little brother was bugging me like crazy about being on the computer. I decide to ignore him and try to do my homework, of course he yells at me to use the laptop, of course the one I can use is the stupid one the bugs me when I'm typing because of the position of the keys. So what comes from this entire fight: me with an arm covered in pen, stuck watching tv, and probably going to have a bruise, while my brother gets the computer, 1/2 an hour after the fight.
