The Monkeyworld of the Future!
Isn't that a much better title than "The Planet of the Apes"? I swear, little kids are geniuses sometimes. This came from my little brother, after he exclaimed "there's a plane!" and I replied "maybe its a UFO"...and somehow we got to monkeys, and how I couldn't possibly be a monkey, because, in his words, "besides....they come from the monkeyworld of the future." I laughed so hard, it just made my day.
UND HonorOrchestra wasn't so hellish as one would expect, and I've decided that my new philosophy is to expect the worst of everything, and then you can't be disappointed. Its actually quite refreshing, when you arrive and its not as bad as you anticipated. Sectionals were what I was really dreading, and that actually turned out to be one of the more fun parts of the weekend, 'cause viola's are quite the coolest instrumentalists in the world. And in the words of my section leader, "viola's just bond, right away, and violins just want to bite each others' heads off." Hey, she said it, not me. My favorite song was a 'Serenad' by Larsson, it was a supereasyboring 2nd viola part, but the song with the whole orchestra sounded like it should be in a Johnny Depp movie. I also very much enjoyed "The House" by Wittgraf, which we did with the choir and band. Dr. Lawson, the orchestra conductor, basically told us that, if we wanted to even be heard, that we should play any forte (meaning loud) like it is fff. So, when my stand partner and I reached the end of the song, where fff was written, we decided it should be 9 f's and wrote them in. :) So, yes, we had fffffffff at the bottom of the page, and I smiled everytime I saw it.
I've decided this semester is going to be dreadfully horrible (see? my new philosophy at work!) but yes, my physics class isn't going to be as gentlemanly as I thought, and I don't really have any close friends in any of my classes except....study hall? And Betso and I hardly ever go to study hall, so it doesn't really count, or pass any time away. I am excited for my Art Sem. projects, though, and for the time when we do something other than poetry in C.W., and....yea, thats it. Graduation, maybe? College?
Hmmm... Alex needs to organize some thoughts:
*Solo for Mr. CHS: "All that Jazz"
*Solo for Chicago: "My Funny Valentine" shit! I don't have a costume!
*Otra solo: "Harem"
*Masterwork for Art.Sem: "Ghost"
*Otra project: Brick! with toeshoes! yay, its in writing, so no one can steal my idea! yes, toeshoes glued to the wall:)
*Solo for Orchestra: none!!!!!!!!!! but Mr. B doesn't know this yet. :S
*I forgot the thing I really needed to remember....now what was it.....?
Oh, and snaps to Amando for the most enjoyable Sunday School lesson ever. I daresay that there'll be multiple games of tig goin' round the school- along with chlamydia. ;) I must go, and do my homework, now. Love, muah!
