piano 101

So I've officially ended my lessons (again). I will continue to practice, just not under the pressure I've been under for the past year. Hopefully I'll be able to maintain a spot at that academy (more like a convent, but academy nonetheless) in 2013. Yes, I'll be doing my AMEB exam again in a year's time. Or two. I actually don't know... But I do know that I want to do really well for my HSC and UMAT.

OKAY BYE. :D I'm off to do more Physics notes :) and then, after that, Business. I really should look at my outline as well...

THANK YOU EVERYONE

But I actually didn't do my piano exam. I had to call in sick because my thumb was slightly dislocated during my restless sleep. True story. So I went to my doctor and he just pushed it back and said that it was okay not to have anything placed on it. And since it's my left hand, I probably won't use it a lot anyway. I'm so fhkjadfhadklhfa about using up that $90.00 for a piano exam that I didn't take. STUPIDNFSDHFJDKAHFAKL. Argh. I panicked for an entire week to get a stuffed up thumb.

On a brighter note, I started writing my notes for Physics and Business Studies. MOTIVATION TRANSFERRED: SUCCESS. It feels weird having my thumb elevated from the keyboard (if that made any sense at all). I have tutor today. Yesterday it was cancelled (COOKIE TO CYNTHIA FOR HAVING THE KPOP CONCERT). I think Teezles went to the concert as well :D OH YEAH, TANYA, REMIND ME TO TELL YOU MY NEXT PUN FOR YOUR JERSEY. I keep forgetting to tell you. I hope no one told you yet :( Because I kinda spent long hard minutes trying to think of it HAHA

maths (version 1548646846)

Well, I finished my English essay. BULLDOZED THROUGH 1200 WORDS WITHIN 1-2 NIGHTS, HELL YEAH! I don't really care about the mark I get at this stage, because there are bigger things to worry about. Like the piano exam. And the practical exam. LOL, eternally screwed.

So... I'm not going to do the probability sheet because I've been discouraged enough. I mean, that first question (3 part 1) was 52, and I kept getting 34. Grr. But anyway, I'll spend the next hour finishing school maths homework, probably to exercise 2.4 for Complex Numbers and finish Challenge Exercise for Integration. SO MUCH MATHSSSS! But never the less, it's tolerable :)

OKAY BYE.

do you still think of me

Such a sad title. I'm currently emotionally switched off when it comes to anything beyond the boundaries of friendship right now HAHA. In saying this, I think I've succeeded in pulling my previous grades up. Hopefully it'll last until the HSC, and perhaps into university. But anyway, I came on to say that I finished my integration homework :D I suppose it wasn't that bad... but I still have probability to do. Which I'll do later. I'll go and shower now, since I postponed my beautiful period of cleansing for 3 hours. Gross LOL...

Tutor homework > showering, I suppose :( NOT THAT I DO THAT ALL THE TIME. It's just, it's going to be a hectic week this week. Oh yeah, I got my introduction for my essay out of the way.

GARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH. Major sigh and stab to musical ability when I know that I have the potential to get a C. Not a B, a C.

Good going, Annie.

zzz

So... I stood at school waiting for probably 35-40 minutes. Alone. I actually thought of walking home, but the idea of local gangs kinda frightened me. When I started down the street (almost to the park), my aunty's car came. I couldn't express how angry I was to even begin with. I could've been at home, finishing what was left of my 4u homework before fully immersing myself in music, but no, I was stuck there doing nothing. Would it have occurred to my aunty, to check the time, seeing as though my sister's bus was late? She could have called me/my mum to tell, but no, my sister always comes first. I'm not complaining that she always comes first (because it'd be useless and I already know that if I did, I'd have to suck it up anyway - lol, big sister role), but it would be nice to have some kind of notification, rather than the state of mind that "oh, Annie will continually wait there until forever later. So why don't we all just take our time?"

Sometimes, I really feel like I'm an easy person to manipulate into saying "yes". Oh yeah, we also got our lamb a red Russell bag :D She's so cute HAHA <33333 I seriously love my group :') I got my business studies textbook as well. It looks alright, and the content is quite comprehensive. I like it, better than our other textbook :D I'm extremely tired, and I should take a look at my Physics notification sheet. I'll be off now, goodbye!

but still i find myself asking

I curse every bit of homework I have the very pits of Hell. Like my Business homework. I really don't feel like doing it, despite how much I like our teacher. He's so dry, reminds me of my tutor teacher. Just... not as dry. And he knows my name (as well as Lamrock's, because we share the same name), so he said "Annie! ... I know there are two of you." And we just stare at him. Blankly. I have tutor homework to get through, so I'll hopefully get through the majority today and just... give up entirely on life.

No, I'm joking. I really can't wait until my piano exam is over - so bloody expensive and worthless if I get a C. Which, is perhaps impossible, because I'm certainly going to get a D.

LOLLLLLLLLL HFJKAHFKJAHFJAKL I HAVE ONE PIECE THAT ISN'T EVEN DONE YET AND MY GENERAL KNOWLEDGE IS FUCKED AND HFADHFAKHFALK. GOODBYE LIFE.

I am in love with the anime/manga Kuroshitsuji (roughly translating to Black Butler). I love the butler so much. LOL He's so classy, to the extent where it makes me squeal like a sick fangirl. It's pathetic, really, and the butler even seduces the women in the drama. He's actually a demon, so that kinda explains why LOL! Here's a picture:

Ugh, he's so charismatic. So so classy. <3 He reminds me of Ren from Skip-Beat, but even more classy and cold. Because he's a demon.

DAMMIT ALL. I TRY ESCAPING FROM ROMANTICISM, AND IT COMES BACK TO ME IN MY MUSIC THEORY. WHY. WHY. WHY.

Why.

and she's all that i see

The title of the post has nothing to do with the actual entry LOL. My left eye is so swollen that I'm unconsciously closing it now. Like... Roronoa Zoro's eye after the timeskip in One Piece. Okay, I'll stop talking about manga :( I suppose tutor today wasn't so bad. We did go back to Permutations and Combinations (... WHY) and he cracked unintentionally funny jokes. I finished filling in the second page of the table for English already. From tomorrow onward until the exam, I'm doing solid 3 hours of piano. No breaks, nothing. Well, may be one or two 5 minute breaks, but that's all. I can't afford to lose to grade 6.

I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW ITCHY MY EYEBALL IS. I CAN'T EVEN ABSTRACTLY MEASURE HOW SWOLLEN MY EYEBALL/EYE SOCKET/EYE LID IS.

piano exam

I have the date. LOL I believe it's on a Saturday. On Verena's BBQ day. On 4u tutor day. ARGH, MANY FUCK MY LIFE'S HERE. MANY MANY FUCK MY LIFE'S. SO MANY FUCK MY LIFE'S. I cannot afford to settle for a C nor a B. A B+ should be minimum, but I have 2 weeks to prepare. JUST TWO WEEKS. MAJOR FUCK. Okay, gotta finish writing notes for general knowledge. Must finish 2 pieces tonight and the last tomorrow or something. Then tutor hw.

LOL. I don't want to crack now. And I'm considering putting piano on hold for the HSC for a year, and after it, go back to intense piano training. I thank Julie for her input during free period.

conicsz

I added a 'z' for a more stylised feel. But that's beside the point of this post. My mum's been reminding me about my upcoming piano exam and how she thinks I'm not ready for it. Thank you for having this much faith in me mum. I crammed in 4 arpeggios in 3 different progressions within 1.5 hours, and I've yet to perfect them. So you can say, my left hand (my weakest one, and thus the one I work with most on the piano) has been internally ripped to shreds. I could feel the muscles at the base of my knuckles rippling and the veins pop up.

Good work out for the mind, fingers and mood.

Oh, and Julie, my fellow May baby HAHA she's so funny. We had this sudden realisation that she was behind the filled out word-unjumblings. Here's what happened HAHA:

Me: You're doing those word unjumblers?
Julie: Yeah, I am
Me: You know yesterday, someone wrote MILFY in the newspaper-
Julie: OMG, THAT WAS ME

*both cracks up*

And then I told her that Steph came across that page and showed me, and we cracked up too HAHAH HFKJAHFLJAKH MILFY. And then we told Steph and she cracked up as well HHAHAHHFHAL

I will never forget it. Milfy. It was actually meant to be 'filmy' but she didn't think of it at that time HAHAHA So that's pretty much it for today :) I should finish writing my general knowledge... I'm not really sure what to talk about LOL. My other piano teacher always spoon-fed me, that's why.

possible

MAYBE THE EXAM IS POSSIBLE AFTER ALL! *throws confetti* What I've noticed with my past examiners are: (as sexist as it seems) females are picky, whilst males aren't. I hope I get a male examiner :') And I stumbled upon this:

His voice.

OMNIPOTENCE! Disregard the previous word, I just chucked it there because I haven't used it in a long while. I should be doing a truckload for Chemistry (or at least worrying) but after the Australian Maths Competition today - as Othilia describes it to be similar to a lottery - I'm feeling very lax about it. I think it's because I've given up entirely on Chemistry and yeah. Oh, and those last five questions: 1 in 999 chance on getting the answer right HAHA

I think I paid $4.50 (or $5.50) for a Participation award that I could've printed myself, using Word. But it's okay, because tutor is on a break this week - that means:

• Studying
• Fixing practical book
• Revising on Complex numbers and writing notes (I don't normally write notes for maths. It just seems a bit strange to me, but I think it'll be effective)
• Write up notes for Physics, Chemistry (LOL) and Business
• Catch up on piano because my exam is in November (or late October) and I have yet to finish any pieces. Yeah, terrible. BUT THIS IS WHAT YEAR 11 DOES TO ME :(

In saying this, I shall go and hit a few keys before sitting down and revising for Chemistry :)

notes

I have this thing for not taking other people's notes unless completely necessary. Which is never. Well, unless I'm away (I'm sorry). If it's not in my own words, I won't understand it. So here I go, I'm going to start typing up my Business Studies notes and probably start on Physics. I left out question 9d and 9e, question 10c and I'm currently unsure about question 4c on the level exercise (2). Did anyone get the axis for question 4c as negative a over 4?

I'm a bit confused. If PG was from point P to point G on the axis, and PQ = GP, wouldn't Q = G? Unless I'm diagramatically wrong... But I'm sure everything fits. I'll spend two hours typing up the first topic of the textbook and start Physics toward the end or something. Then I'll cut my fingernails to do piano. I've been too lax about it, and since the exam costs $89.00 or something, I don't want it to go to waste.

And Teezles, I think the cake pops or that red velvet truffle sweet thing would be (Y)!

here we go again, i kinda wanna be more than friends

Hopefully blogging out my schedule will be an incentive to try harder. I have so many things due as of now; is it wrong for me not to feel the slightest bit panicked? I haven't even started my story yet... Nor have I finished Maths homework, studying for Chemistry and Physics, WHICH IS ON FRIDAY :(

• Maths homework
• Chemistry study and practice
• Physics study and practice
• 4u revision... That class is so fast, I swear.
• ENGLISH STORY HFDALFHAJHALKFJHD

Oh, I also bought a 4pk of blue Stabilo highlighters. I love blue, and if I shove it onto my notes, I might come to like them and study better. Logical, no? But anyway, gotta finish Set 2 for maths at school, and set 3 Monday night or something.

My piano teacher and I had a 30 minute conversation (LOL PAID CONVERSATION) about my exam. We discussed the possibility of extra list pieces, and I think I'll go with 2 grade 7 pieces and maybe recycle them for next year. Well, hopefully that's viable. Hopefully I can go to the City in the holidays (in two week's time!) and go to Allan's Music or something. I need to invest in more books and build my music library.

Okay, I need to go off.

Saturday has been officially wasted. Again.

saturday

"Mum, so, uh, are we going to practice reversing out of the driveway?"
"YOU CAN'T EVEN GO FORWARD, AND YOU WANT TO GO BACKWARD?!"

:( I just thought, since we're driving, we'd start from our house LMFAO

I just finished tutor homework. I'll go piano lessons at 2PM and then yeah. Do whatever afterward.

GOODBYEEEE!

My posts are becoming more and more insufficient.
