Today was a good day. Sort of a day of revelations. I wasn't planning on a good day because of the vocab quiz I had to take in english before school. It went like this:
Mr. Tarmey- Do you have any questions before you take the quiz? Do you want to look over any words or have me check any sentences for context clues? Do you need any help at all?
Me- No, I just looked at the words. I think I'm good.
Tarmey- What did you get on the last quiz?
Me- Uhhh....60.
Tarmey- Are you positive you don't want any help?
Me- No, I got it.
(I take the quiz and pass it in)
Tarmey- I'll grade it right now so you can see how you did.
Me- *Damn. If I failed again he'll ask me why I didn't ask for help.*
Tarmey- 100. You got it!
Me- Yes! Thanks!
...and I skip out of the room smiling. Although I did get a 30 on the last quiz I took so combined with this one my average still went down 5 points...to a 74. Bleh. I have time. I'll get it up...somehow. I wish I didn't suck at critiques.
I had string orchestra first. I love orchestra so much. Even if I hate d-milz I still love orchestra. I have chamber long tomorrow. That's exciting. I played my viola in my lesson today. I really love it. Almost more than violin. The tone is so much richer and it's just a beautiful sounding instrument. I'll still stick with violin but play viola more. I can go further with viola anyway. If I want to join an orchestra the competition for viola is much lower than for violin.
I haven't showered in 4 days. And I don't really care. I washed my hair in the sink with baking soda last night and threw a bandanna on this morning as a headband. Surprisingly a lot of people complimented me... They were like "Oh you're hair looks nice like that!" Really..because it's a total mess and yeah it's curly because I let it dry while I slept and I'm wearing something in my hair and I have a dread.. Yeah I started making a dread. Just one. It's kinda messy at the moment because it's a baby but it's coming along. I have a bead in it so it looks a little nicer. I think it looks cool..or is gong to look really cool. My parents havent really noticed because I put my hair up or put the bandanna over it but they'll see soon enough. They might not like it but it's not like it's my whole head. and with competition I can easily hide it because it's small.
I took a chem quiz after school and it was really easy. I learned everything last night. Mrs. Paradise didn't think I would be ready to take it but I told her in class and she said she'll make up a quiz for me C: I'm finally understanding school. And doing my homework. It feels nice to be productive. And not have bronchitis (okay well I'm not completely cured but I'm closer to being healthy).
Nathaniel Hawthorne is one of my favorite writers. I've always loved him and now that we're analyzing his work in english I love him even more. Mr. Tarmey's class blows my mind. Although I have a C it's my favorite class. I'll catch up eventually.
