New music skills!

P.E. today was pretty awesome. For one, I got my best time for running 3 laps so far. Also, weight room seems to get easier and easier every time, so this time I started pulling heavier weights. My partner was Mimi, but since Leslie's partner was injured, she joined our group. We worked out nicely, and then we spent the rest of the time skipping. It was the perfect weather outside. Not too cold, but not too hot. It was just cloudy, which was perfect, especially with the nice breeze. If only the weather stayed like that for Langara. I'm really hoping it won't rain on that day. 

Band was one of my favourite classes for that day. We played our scales and technique stuff, and then came the fun songs. We played it halfway with the flute, and then Mr. Hurst decided to want the Timpani part. So he asked one of he flutes, since there was more of us, to play the Timpani. Nobody wanted to go, so I decided to give it a try. And it was AWESOME and super FUN! It was just reading the bass clef, I guess it was weird, since flutes play treble clef all the time, but basically it was just three notes. It has a lot more to do with rhythm than notes, and I had to learn how to do a drumroll, which is harder than it sounds. Other than that, Band was awesome.

For English we had got another project, and our group had to do a "teaching day" on Setting and Atmosphere. The stories in our section was pretty interesting, and I'd even read one of them before. The bad thing is, we get a really short amount of time to prepare everything, so we kind of have to get to work fast. 

For Science we just did more learning on safety symbols, and then we got a worksheet. 

My sister and I walked home together, which seemed like it took eternity. I guess we have to get used to it, my mom has a new job, and she wouldn't be around much anymore. 

Wow, the teachers really let us off easy for Grade 8, Grade 9 is a killer.
