And so the day is nigh upon me. All the weeks and months of preparation have led to this.
No, it is not the second coming (yet) haha. It's the day of my senior boards.
GASP! *Oh the humanity!*
Anyway, all comedic-relief aside, I'm kind of nervous about tomorrow. From what I have practiced and worked hard on, I feel like I will do well. However there's always a realm of possibility in my mind. In terms of a project as big as this, this realm of possibility almost always includes a sense of impending doom.
I am however, prepared for the whole "whatever can go wrong will go wrong" scenario. I got my time slot assignment and the room in which I will be giving my presentation to the board.
Doomsday will be held in my CWI teacher's classroom. When I asked my advocacy teacher (previously, my english 12 teacher)- she said that the classroom where I'll be in has been having some trouble with it's audio.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is where I began to lose it. I was eerily calm for the first half of the day. When my teacher broke the news to me, I calmly and gracefully proceeded to scribble down my plan on a couple of notecards.
When I got home, I put the MP3 on my kindle fire. This way, if the audio isn't working in the classroom, I can calmly refer to it and play my 21 second audio clip for the panel. (My project included writing a piano song, which I recorded and will play for the panel. In other words, it is a pretty integral piece to my presentation.)
NOW- should anything else go wrong (ie- my powerpoint has magically disappeared from my files on the school computer) I have 2 jump drives. Both equipped with my slideshow and a copy of the MP3 for my song. Both also have all of my important senior english documents on them and scanned copies of things that got signed by important people. Ie- my mentor and the principal who approved my project. This way, if they lose my binder or it mysteriously reaches MIA status, I will be prepared.
There is no way on this Earth I am not going to pass tomorrow.
So why am I so nervous?
I hate speaking in front of people in a formal setting.
I did poetry out loud this year and got second place in my school, but I did it trembling and breathing nervously all the while. I must say that I have improved since the beginning of the year, but that's not saying much. Truly.
Anyway, I'm going to jump for joy and possibly cry when I pass my board tomorrow.
Maybe I'll go play world of warcraft for a couple hours to de-stress.
Yeah.
That sounds good.
If I survive the endeavors of tomorrow, I'll post my score. If not, I'll probably go up to my room after school face in pillow for hours.
Enjoy April 19th fellow humans.

Senior Project
Thankfully, senior project is nearly over!
The day after tomorrow, I present my slideshow and 21 second clip of my piano song to the board.
I've learned and accomplished so much from this project.
1.) I don't like teaching choir
2.) To play the piano with confidence and sight read with confidence
3.) To play the piano period.
4.) To compose and title a piano solo song
5.) To edit and record music
I've learned so much more as well.
Here's the 21 second clip of my song that I will be using in my senior board speech:

I will post the full song on my profile once it's done. I'll also record covers of songs and other original songs I write in the future since I know how to record and edit.
Thank you for listening to the clip! It's a first huge jump start in my music career and I'm very proud of it!

Why, hello there
Spring break! YA! WOO! YA!! :D
Well my day today will consist of filling my nails and painting them.
Reading the fourth Eragon book all the way through.
Playing world of warcraft.
and not doing my hair :3
My poor hair has been fried. I straightened it and curled it a whole bunch for church and school. I'm giving it the weekdays to heal. That means simply using a ton of bobby pins to secure it in place.
I'm thinking about buying a new dress for church sometime this week. It's Easter Sunday this weekend and I don't have very many clothes that are modest anymore that I can wear to church. No, that doesn't mean I grew. It means that they were washed differently than they should have been and shrunk.
Onward with doing nothing!!!!
