Week.Update

     Well just got back from a boring trip to Maryland to visit my aunt and uncle. It wasn't fun at all. Nothing interesing even happened. We were supposed to go to some cool national park but when we got there, we thought we weren't going to have enough fuel, so we just left. So most of the trip was in the car. Well, school update. Let's see, theatre is over so I've been drawn to a lot of Chinese stuff. There are Chinese tutorings and I go to help others with it. And maybe for my own benifit. We also did a lot of skyping. We get to talk to people all the way from China using the computer. I think it's a lot easier than talking to them on the phone and having no idea what they are saying. Well, in English, we are talkimg a lot about racism and prejudice. I have no idea what the moral of this whole this thing is. But I hope we find out tomorrow. We watch a lot of movie in class and I am not complaining one bit. The speeches in Speech class are getting harder and harder. I have no idea if I'll even pas that class. Let's hope I do. In choir, we are sining with eigth graders for a small concert. Positive; we get to sing with some yunger kids and se what they're made of. Negative; one of them is my brother. I think I need to start studying because my grades are never that good when it comes to them. I don't know if it's because I'm under pressure or I don't get it. I just need to do something about it and studying is a good start. That's the weekly update.

Theatre

Theatre is over! That makes me sad. It was the only thing keeping me going everyday since the beginning of the year. I hope I can do crew for the other theatre stuff like Holiday Marathon, Varsity Varieties, and The Thoroughly Modern Milly. If not, then I'll just go to school and home like I have nothing to live for. I'm not in any clubs and I'm not planning to really. So, in English, we finally finished the book 12 Angry Men and saw the movie. I'd say it was better than the Mockingbird movie, that's for sure. The fall play was closer to the book than that. What I want to know is what did everyone think about the play? How did it affect you when you saw it? And do you think the play was better or the movie?

Play Week!

Well, last week we were preparing for the fall play. Our first showcase is this Wednesday for all of the sophmores. Also, in English, we are finishing up the play, the twelve angry men or something. Well, I am so psyched that we are finally almost finished with all of the product stuff. Now it is finally presentable for the whole school and anyone else who's watching! I'm so glad that we I'm in theatre. It is the only thing I've stuck to all of high school so far. What I found out is that this is a "Mockingbird" year. It's weird because there is a "To Kill a Mockingbird" the play, book, and movie. There is also a Rob Thomas song called Mockingbird. It's all too weird. I think I should keep up with this year and do a "Mockingbird" related poem. Since that is the only thing I'm good at. All I've got is the title so far and I'm planning to finish it before the end of either this week or this month. Either way, I'm making one. I hope it can be as good as all of my other ones. I'm trying to get back into the poetry mojo again. Wish me luck!
