Days Before the Graduation #3

Okay. So graduation is only one week and one day away. But it still doesn't sound so exciting. The band practices have been chaotic. Thank God we only have to perform two songs - not that I mind if we have to play more. My English teacher (a.k.a my class teacher) orders me to memorize my speech and seek her next week and recite the whole thing - good thing, for some odd reasons I can't seem to say the word 'patience' right. Not that I do not know how to say it... It's just, it's difficult to say it. Weird, isn't it? Yes, it is.

I couldn't give myself three days off as I planned. But it doesn't mean I did not enjoy those three days I have planned to be holidays. I spent those three days being a mosquito - hanging around my newly dating friends. Well, of course, that isn't the only thing I do at school. I and one of my newly dating friends (the female) chat and listen to songs for about an hour in the morning - she's a close friend of mine - until her boyfriend comes. Then I follow them around or simply listen to their... conversations, feeling like a mosquito but not allowed to go elsewhere.

I received a packet yesterday. Okay, technically it wasn't meant for me, but there were books for me and my brother. A series of twelve music books with composer paintings on the front cover. The paintings are beautiful. Printed by Hal-Leonard company. I haven't tried all the songs, I barely flipped through them all, but I guess I'll never be bored staring at the pictures. Beethoven looks very cool. The others are just okay - there are not many handsome composers after all. I wonder if there is a music book with young Bela Bartok's face on the cover... Now that's the most handsome composer I've ever seen who is already dead.

Days Before the Graduation #2

Graduation practice is getting more and more and more boring, and I am seriously thinking to skip several days of school next week. I mean, we are supposed to have next week off from school, but the members of the band (which I am in) and other performances have to attend school just for practice. I don't think several skips from practice would hurt, I mean, other band members have skipped several times, too. And it's not like I can't play my part well or coordinate with the rest of the band... I think I am doing it pretty well, and since I need holidays, I will give myself three days off next week. Ahaha...

We nearly do not get better at all in all practices for the graduation. The students who are supposed to give speeches haven't practiced their speeches at all, and that includes me. The students still do not know how to line up properly. Hell, graduating kindergarten students can line up better than that! And I know because I have had the kindergarten graduation ceremony with all its practices! They are much more organised than we are!

Anyway, I have been terribly lazy lately. I thought I'd drown myself in fanfiction writing (and all kinds of writing) once the exams end, but I just can't seem to type anything, both out of laziness and out of the writer's block I am having now. The only thing that got out of my head in this two weeks is a not-so-long-and-not-so-short one-shot, and not more than that. I have been pretty lazy to watch anime, too, and all I have been doing is reading, both manga and fanfiction. I don't read a lot of manga, too. I have not been in the mood to continue to read Detective Conan for five days. That's weird, isn't it? How can someone actually gets tired from what she likes to do? But well, that's me... I'll probably come back to my old self in a few days, if not weeks.

That's all for now. Cheerio!

Days Before the Graduation #1

Current Song: Etude in C-sharp Minor Op 2 no 1

Hello. It has been a while since I last wrote here. How are you?

Well, just about two weeks ago, I am freed from all kinds of exams and projects. The National Exam was finished long ago, and the School Final Exam ended two weeks ago, along with all the practical exams. There are no more projects to disturb my computer time. Hooray!

Current Song: Excerpts from Hungarian Rhapsody no 2 in C-sharp Minor

So among messy 2-day-a-week school schedule and haphazard graduation practices, I am having holidays, a lot of leisure time and fun things to do. Lucky, aren't I?

Current Song: One Winged Angel (Final Fantasy VII)

These songs change way too quickly... Or am I the one who think too slowly? Or is it both? Well, whatever. I am going to graduate from middle school soon and high school awaits! Not that I am actually that excited about it...

Yesterday Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 107 is finally out on OneManga. It is one heck of an epic chapter, even more exciting than 105 and 106. I was browsing through LiveJournal (just browsing, I don't own any account there) and read that FMA manga is going to end in two months, which means there are only two more chapters left. Well, though it sounds short, FMA chapters are about 3 times as long as the chapters of the manga in WSJ, and if it will not sound so short when you compare the total number of pages instead of chapters. Well, whatever the ending is, I hope it will be a good one!

Bleach shows no sign of ending soon. It is growing more and more exciting with the appearances of long awaited characters. I can't say anything without spoiling too much... I can only say they're still in the Fake Karakura Town. As for Naruto, it is going more and more nonsensical that the only thing that drives me to read it is the feeling of 'it's a pity to stop reading it while I've read it for so long'.

Okay, that's all I can say for now... See you all next time!
