my week




Well if you look at the time 4:57am you might guess that i am crazy and i am at work right now you would be correct. today i am watching Phantom of the Opera, writing e-mails to face book about how stupid the new format is. honestly it is like face book is stocking you. i do not like it and i am not alone.

news form the outside world of college:

i am sadden about the loss of Steve the crocodile hunter who was killed on Monday by a Sting Ray no less. what a bazaar way to die. It almost unreal. At least he was doing something that he was so passionate about and loved. my heart goes out to his family.

news back at school:
i have not written in awhile.
Monday:
I got to practice on the cello steel pans. that was so much fun. i am excited on the pieces that we are playing. that night on my hall floor, we had a rock painting party to make door stops. I did not paint a rock that night but i was hearing the commotion. when i went out to see what was going on, the girls got the washable pain and was painting people's faces with it. i decided to join in the fun. i had blue paint on my face, it looked like i had a mustache and beard. and then i had music notes on my face as well. it was so funny. after all the girls got their faces painted we went to all the boys floor and some of the girls floor. we opened the doors and started the slow clap thing then got faster. we walked to the middle of the hall and then shouted "Break your self". on 2 of 3 girl floors we sang happy birthday to random people. it was so funny just to see people's confused faces poking out of their rooms just to see why we have all the crazy girls running around in their hall with face paint on. only in college you can do stuff like that.



Tues.:
back in the grind of things. i had one class for 3hrs in the morning, ED 350. we did this ice breaker thing where we played rush sham (rock paper scissors) but you start off as an egg and you have to play other eggs, if you win you get to evolve to a chicken, if you win you get to be Godzilla, if you win then you get to be a SUPER STAR! then if you win you get to stand in a line and sing stop in the name of love. If you are the loser of each rock paper scissors game you have to go down a level. I never realized how bad at rock paper scissors i am. it was just so funny to see everyone walking around as an egg, chicken, Godzilla and Super Star other people.
later that day i had orchestra. we played Beethoven 8th symphony part of the 1st movement, all of the crazy hard 3rd movement and part of the 4th movement. then we played the boring Ravel Bolero. this piece sounds good but it is boring to play. my hand died from having to pizzicato/ strum on my cello for an hour. after orchestra i had to ice my hand. i guess it is the start of the musician's ouch syndrome. that is the time when everything hurts in your body because of playing an instrument. last night was fun. i got to play on my SEGA with my roommate and my other friend who was giving us video game history/facts. it was funny trying to figure out what he was trying to tell us. It was boy code.

i think that men and women have a different code for words and different things. And we spend all our lives trying to figure out what the other is saying. Girls use emotions and other code words just to see if people pick up on what they are saying. guys...well i have not quite figured this one out. i know that the speak the language of gaming which i think only few girls understand. i know i have trouble following. I am just as happy playing video games with out a care in the world for like an hour and then i can happily turn it off. i think total game i have sat down and beaten are only 2 games. Aladdin and sonic the hedgehog. that is about it.

on the lines of talking language patterns, i think the human brain is remarkable in how many languages we can learn with out knowing that we are learning them. for example, i know how to speak English, good common English and slang English, Spanish, some Latin. but if you think about it we have to switch to different speech patterns when we speak to others about different subjects. music has it's own language through different terminology, music notes, and music theory stuff. but all subjects have this type of different languages. sewing, knitting, drawing, building things, working on cars or what ever. we also change how we talk around children or people younger than you. as humans we seem to adapt to our environment to accommodate to what people know and what is easy to explain. it is just mind boggling to me. i like it.

well i should do some home work so that i can get good grades.~Manda panda
