Choir

wow it's already the end of february? noooo! School can't be over, I like this year. Anyway now that April is getting closer I've gotten it into my head to try out for Ladies AcCapella choir which is the next advanced choir after concert choir.

So why would I like choir enough to try out for next year? One reason is that more advanced choirs get to participate in more things like trips and other exciting things during the year which concert choir doesn't participate in (choir I'm in) because we're still a beginnning choir. Since it's my last year I'd like to be able to participate on these trips since I won't get another chance at them. Thus because other choirs get to participate in more events I'd really like to be in Ladies AcCapella since they get to do those things.

Also another reason I want to stay in choir is because Mrs. Mathews rocks!!! why? It's because she's not afraid to be herself and act funny. Mrs. Mathews makes choir fun and enjoyable from her funny personality. For example when we are warming up she will either make a funny face or do the warm up in a strange voice. Or she might tease someone in a funny way that will even make them laugh. These are just some examples of what she can do which make the atomopshere in choir more enjoyable because it loosens you up so you're not too serious and close to tears when you mess up. Therefore because Mrs. Mathews makes choir enjoyable she creates a pleasent feeling when in choir so much that you love choir!

Also I'm gaining more confidence this year in concert choir. Why would this make a difference? Well as I gain more knowledge as to how to sing well, I gain more confidence in that I feel like I can go out of my comfort zone and try something new. So this is why I want to try out this year, it's because I feel more confident and I also want to participate in different things next year since I will be a senior next year.

Sweetheart's Dance

Goodness I've been talking about this subject for a while and it seems like it's starting to get old. I mean I'm not even done with it in my journal and it's been a week. Well you can blame that one school. But hmm I'm still not sure what part I should analyze in this because I might just end up describing things instead of analyzing so I'll break it down.

Why was the afternoon of the day stressfull? Well the previous night I had an overnighter at Timp lodge with my ward in which I did not sleep well. The lack of sleep was starting to affect my attitude because I started talking less and acted sleepy/grouchy. This affected me later as 4:00 drew closer. See I was supposed to go over to Jessica's house before we sort of had a dinner date, so she could do my hair. After calling and calling, I figured out that she wasn't there. This situation had now become more stressful due to the fact of that I had not slept well so this impacted my emotions in that I became more agitated. Therefore, if I had, had a normal night's rest I would still be stressed but not as much because lack of sleep affects me in that I can become easily stressed.

Alright now let's move to the dance. Why did I enjoy going to the dance with my date? Well let's consider one thing, I haven't seen my date in a long time because it's so hard to get ahold of him and hang out since he's in like Band, has a job and loves to be invloved in everything. So to be able to hang out with him at the dance was like a small miracle because he's so busy and not to mention he goes to Orem High which makes it even more difficult to see and talk to him! (Orem High rocks) Also another thing is that because I haven't seen him in a long time, naturally I was happy to see him and catch up on what we were doing in life. So this was just one reason of why the dance was awsome.

Another reason of way the dance was cool was that it was my first high school dance. So because of this my emotions were going crazy since Iwas excited to finally experience this and tell my friends that I have actually gone to one.

Yes I know that I could talk about it more but well like I said above, I'd probably just be describing it instead of analyzing. So yes the dance was really awsome, but now I just have to figure out how to go to Prom. hehe.

FCCLA club competition

Well I was actually going to write about my week this week but I changed the idea to the my club's compeitition today. (my club is called FCCLA or Future Career and Community Leaders of America.)

Why was I so stressed and nervous about the competition? Well considering that today is thursday we didn't really know about this until monday so we had only 3 days to get a portfolio together and present on it. So this was stressful because I had other homework on top of doing a whole portfolio in 3 days which was alot of work. Thus because I had such little time to prepare the portfolio wasn't as great and I had to get it done quickly which made me stressed because I had so little time to put it together.

So then when we got to BYU to present what we had done I got nervous again. Why did I feel this way? I felt this way because I had never done an FCCLA competition so I had no idea how it was like, so I was scared about the unknown basically. Then the other reason is that I sat outside the room, and while I waited for my turn I made up what I was going to say. So because of this I felt very rushed and stressed because I had to write up what I was going to say on note cards before it was my turn. Therefore because I had to mostly concentrate on getting my portfolio done I hadn't had enough time to make up my speech. So by making it up on the spot I got stressed because I wasn't ready and couldn't relax.

After my speech was over I felt relieved but why would I feel like that? It's because I was done with the speech, so I wouldn't have to stand in judges and try and sound like I knew what I was talking about. Basically I could relax because I didn't have to stand in any more judges during the day. It was done! So of course my nerves relaxed.

Despite being nervous about the compeition I am greatful I went to it because I had to go to that in order to go to the state competition. But yes I get nervous about presenting things easily if I am not prepared, but hey it wasn't my fault because our advisor didn't tell us until monday of this week!

Media Play

Stupid thing. So I now have to retype this because it somehow got lost. So yes I'm mad now but today I'm analyzing my feelings on Media Play closing.

So, Media Play closed because of Walmart and internet shopping. So why would I be sad about this? It's because I've collected many memories from this store since we've been going there for a long time. The store was like my second home because it was a place that I could hang out and get away from the world (like when my parents were in a bad mood). So naturally I'd miss it since I spent alot of time there. See I'd usually walk over to Media Play on the weekends or during the week (if I had time) to read their books, or play their games on PS2 or Gamecube. I've also bought many items from Media Play that other stores didn't have in stock. Therefore because I've grown up with Media Play it's like watching a best friend move away. I can no longer visit Media Play to see what's in stock and enjoy those past memories I've had.

Also Media Play was convenient so I'm mad now that it's gone. Why? Well Media Play was closer to my house than Barnes n Noble. So it takes more time to walk to Barnes n Noble therefore making it not convenient. Thus this makes me angry because I get a smaller amount of time to read, so I might not finish the book before it's time to walk back home for dinner.

Alas I shall miss Media Play because it has other books that Barnes n Noble doesn't have. So something nice better replace it. I hope it won't be another clothes store, yuck.
