This Week
Theatre- play report, warm ups, then monologues
Chem/Assembly-assembly was okay. choir is gooood. Chem quiz, i think i did pretty good
Algebra 2- Got a freaking C on the hw quiz :/
English- "re-taking" the verbals quiz with her walking through the test with us.
Web Publishing-listened to indian classical music the whole period. it was pretty funny
AP Chinese-test and yeah
AP World- nothing much. Heffernan was in a really good mood so it was pretty chill.
This week has been extremely busy.
Last night I had quite a bit of hw, and had to study for
3 tests (chem, math, chinese), but then I also had to go see the school play. Urghh..
play was hilarious. The actors and actresses were amazing! Lasted until 10ish tho..later than i had expected. both caveman and charlie were there too.
On Thursday this week, I did my
monologue. So my monologue is about supporting prom, and while we were performing them in groups i found out that my monologue was directly connected to his,(N.Z.) his being against prom. i think my lines come right after his.
so then he went, and after that, I thought I should go because it would make sense. So then I
volunteered and i was super nervous when i got on the stage. but i didnt wear my glasses cuz i never wear glasses in theatre. and that was kinda good though cuz i can't see people's faces clearly.
Before we began, we had to say our name, our character and the name of the play. So I was like "My name is Miranda" and from the audience you can hear
caveman say "AKA Ku-Lung's sister." :D
When I finally began to say my first few lines, idk why i just
automatically look at N.Z. and his groups of friends (caveman and charlie). especially N.Z. because ours is connected. idk...its just that feeling u no. and even though I don't have my glasses on, I could see that the 3 of them were paying attention to me. (eye contact)
after i said first few lines ppl that were paying attention understood that it was from the same play.
Thankfully I didn't mess up. But I think I spoke a bit too fast. I want to slow down the pace a little to emphasize the pauses u no what i mean. But overall i think my blocking and memorization was pretty okay/good. so after that, another guy thats next alphabetically was suppose to say the stuff he saw me do that was good, But instead, Nonis asked N.Z. to
critique mine, saying "it'd only make sense for N.Z. to do hers! It's not like a rebuttal or anything." And then N.Z. kinda chuckled(?) i guess. and then he said that I used the space well. (Like i didnt just stay in one place.) and good blocking. and that he could tell i was speaking to a large audience.
and then i got off the stage and i was kinda like
shaking. it goes like this:
SUPER scary before u get on stage. then after a few lines you can't think about it being scary or else you'll forget your lines, so its not bad. and then after ur done, ur scared what others think of ur performance.
so yeah afterwards was pretty scary too. but whewww im
so proud of myself for going and volunteering, cuz seriously none of my friends went on thu. and only 1 of my friends went today.
i guess if you're all prepared with good memorization and good blocking you shouldn't be afraid. you have to show that you're confident even if your not. you gotta act like it. and people will think you're good.
Some other good things...only missed 1 question (2 pts) on Chapter 10(european christendom) and got 100% on chapter 11 (islam) for AP World. My first
100% for this class. I was sooo freaking happy.
On Thursday, I bought
class sweats for $5. Original is like around $25-30, but since they wanna get rid of it, its extra cheap. I mean, where can you get a crew neck for $5. There were designs from last year and this year. The ones this year only had like big sizes left, so I got a crew neck design from last year. It still says 2016 anyways. Mustard yellow color is a no-no. but since everyone wears it its not that bad. Bought this with S.P, she got the same one.
thats about it.
some other happy things. Recently on Tumblr my posts have been getting a lot of notes (reblogs&likes). The most popular one having
more than 2,000 notes and others ranging from 50ish to 500, 600 or 1,000. Followers also increased because of that. I've gained about
100 new followers just this week(: So happy!
Went to
Little Sheep Hot Pot for dinner today. (小肥羊). We ordered a 鴛鴦鍋 where one side is spicy, the other plain. It was pretty good.
Ohh and today's
mom's birthday. Except that she's in Taiwan. Happy birthday mom! (even tho she doesnt even no this blog exists)
so tired after this week, so glad theres a 3 day weekend. I need some time to breathe.
