Day Sixty-Two

In art we kept chipping away at our linoblocks. It's really hard and tedious! Oh, and in English all we did was decorate the door for the Christmas contest and play hackie sack outside. It was pretty grand. The judging for the most epictastic door is tomorrow! I've decided we'll win - mainly because we have wreaths made out of mittens that we're going to donate to the Vancouver house for homeless teens when the contest is over. Oh yes we are. If that doesn't get votes, I'm certainly out of ideas (JUST kidding). In acting our Comedia piece is coming along well. I think it'll be really funny.
In spare we went to the bakery that my friend's mum owns and I had a sugar cookie. Then we sat at the table and read the newspaper for a while. The chair I'm sitting on as I type this has broken leg rests, so it isn't very comfortable. Then when we were done with the bakery we went next door to the restaurant that her mum owns as well and ogled the cook. When we got back to the school, I did some homework. Oh yes I did.

Chocolate Cherrios. They're grrreat!

Day Sixty-One

MY rule for eating leftovers is... anytime before it's rotten. This could be because I like cold, stale food. ... Not ALL food types - but quite a few (for instance: stale chips! So delicious)!

In acting today we started some of the written work for our one-acts! These are just in-class one acts, with partners and so on. I'm with two other girls - ours is gonna be good! We picked a script with two older sister ignoring a younger one because she told secrets. It sort of has a melo-drama thing going on.
I ate cold, left over WokBox for lunch. Guh, it was so yummy! Everybody was jealous, oh yes they were.
In English we started decorating our door for the Christmas-class room... contest thing that's happening! There's a pizza prize for the best looking class in the calculations, so I think we're taking it pretty seriously. I had this essay written up, but it was only the draft so I decided to type it out during my spare and save myself heaps of time. So I did that. But... the school's internet is down, so I couldn't e-mail it to myself. I couldn't save it onto the hard drive because I don't have my own log-in, and it wasn't printing. I just about had a heart-attack, but the teacher-lady in the career center had a solution. Then it printed all by itself, and I didn't even need her. Tada!

... Where's me Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Day Sixty

In art I added ink to my uh... lino block! It looks pretty cool! But it didn't work right, so I had to fix it and finish it tomorrow (not finish. Do ink again).
During my spare I worked on my architectural drawing. It's actually looking so good! I had something that was very wrong, but I added another line, and gained about three more rooms, and made it look good! Oh, tada!
After school I went shopping with some friends. We ate at WokBox and it was delicious! I'm going to eat my leftovers tomorrow, but it's going to be really difficult not to eat... you know.. now.

Day Fifty-Nine

I don't really want to get into a habit of always typing about the same thing, in the same order (art, English, math, lunch, spare, acting) every single day. It's boring! Sometimes I might just put a picture on. Because I'm a rebel like that.

Today in English we watched a scene from Lord of the Rings - oh my goodness, I really want to watch it again. It's been far too long! I have so much stuff to do in that class... I have to finish an architectural drawing for Wednesday, finish a contrast and comparison essay about the book and two movies, I need a draft by the sixteenth for the big final project essay, and I have to prepare an oral reading set to music of a piece that I find interesting from the book. I haven't been reading as much as I'm supposed to lately, but she has really lost me with this dumb book. I disagree completely with all of Rand's philosophies, I don't like any of the characters (except Howard, who I dislike the least), she rambles on and on about the same thing for pages on end, and it's really hard to understand what she's talking about most of the time. 

Nope. I don't like it.

The Weekend!

I did a gift exchange today, and I got candy-cane brownie mix. Oh yes I did.
Yesterday we set up our Christmas tree!! The plan was just to set up garland, but it all got done. Hooray! My mum finally let my dad and I buy a Charlie Brown tree this year. When we got to the tree place, there was actually a 'Charlie Brown' tree section. We were thrilled. Just before we started setting it all up, I found some old Christmas carol mad-libs that we had done, and I made my parents listen to me singing such songs as, 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Rabbit,' 'Frosty the Manager-Man,' 'Jingle Beer Rock,' and, 'Let it Barf, Let it Scream, Let it Snow!' I enjoyed myself. We drank eggnog, too. When we were done with the tree we watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Hilarious. I love that movie.

Fifty-Eight

Tonight is the last night of one acts!!! I'm extremely bummed that it only goes for two nights - I don't know everybody as well as I'd like to, yet! Such a bummer.

In art we drew more thumbnails for our linoblock. I finally got mine done to something the teacher and I both like: the difficult part now is getting the drawing onto the block. The way she has us doing it isn't functional at all.
In English we were in the library today! As per usual, I went to the classroom first, forgetting that the teacher reminded us about it yesterday. We were just refreshing our memories on our authors for our lit-study! The time is approaching. We have to talk ('report') about the author for about ten minutes, without notes if possible.
In math we just did some homework! But it's okay because I really like what we're doing.
At lunchtime me and some of the other one act kids walked around trying to find somebody's house to have the cast party at, but there isn't anybody willing to do it (I don't blame them, personally); so as it stands now, there is no cast party. I'm also bummed out about that, because this is the first closing performance in a long time that hasn't had a cast party, and it's my first time! I feel very gipped.
In acting we performed our two-minute comedia sketches that we worked on yesterday and the day before. Ours was really funny, I think - and our latzii (a 'small bit of normal business exaggerated and made funny') was prime. My partner played the old man who thinks he's sick all the time (Pantalone), and I played the big strong, semi-dumb guy (Brigella).

Pantalone walks onto stage very slowly, then sticks his chair in the middle and sits (eventually). When he sits his legs don't bend properly and stay sticking straight up, so he has to bend them manually before he is sitting properly. Brigella walks on admiring his muscles in a mirror (comedia: the 'mirror' was a large broom). Pantalone gets annoyed at the lack of attention, so informs Brigella he's just had a stroke. Brigella is conflicted, because Il Dottori, Pantalone's doctor, isn't around. Brigella runs off stage. Pantalone checks his watch after a moment. He gets impatient, and starts walking slowly after Brigella to see what's taking so long. Brigella calls from off-stage that he's 'got it' and is coming back. Pantalone starts to hurry back to his chair (very slowly), and manages to sit before Brigella comes back on stage with a wheelchair. After a long unnecessary while, Brigella gets him in the chair. As he is wheeling Pantalone across the stage, the chair gets stuck, and Brigella has to fight to get it moving again, and off stage.

She had no criticism for me and my characterization and voice of Brigella, so there. We also watched a Mr. Bean sketch, because there were only four of us today, and Rowan Atkinson is a master of latzii.

Brigella.

I'm very excited for tonight.

Day Fifty-Seven

It's opening night tonight! I have no time to post a legit blog today!

In art we did thumbnails.
In English we finished Strictly Ballroom and started an essay about it, the book, and The Dead Poet Society.
In math we started something I love.
In acting I just helped the teacher because all my homework was done and there was nothing else to do.

Opening night!
