Last Stretch of Junior Year Day 2 - 42 Day

It's finally spring break!  Or well, on the district calendar, only the school days (April 5-9) are marked as spring break.  It doesn't' really matter, and I would just like to say I hope I can accomplish what I want to do this week off.  That means: clean up my desk, work on AP Lang research project, go snowboarding and actually go down a run without falling down, organize my pictures and videos and work on various musical pieces.  I'll get into specifics later, after I write down what happened today.  But I must say that those who read or care to read this blog...everything state is true, but I do not wish to write out every detail of my life because life is short.

Today I gave Ellango a music cd as his 42 Day present in Orchestra class.  Basically the Beatles' "Yesterday" is one of his favorite songs.  I basically looped the song over again over for the entire disk.  It kinda is a waste of a CD, but it's a mundane token of well, uh, I guess we can call it friendship.

While in Orchestra, Mrs. Calonico was being nice and decided to make banana bread for us after a job well done at the concert the day before.  And thus I received an "assignment" for helping out with arranging music from "Up."

As more evidence that the day before spring break is more or less a joke, I played this element creating game thingy where 4 players had marbles represent protons, neutrons and electrons.  The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by creating a stable nucleus, a neutral atom, or a stable and neutral atom, based on instruction cards drawn.  It definitely teaches a lot about physics and helps to review for the AP Physics Test.

I'll skip further into the day.  I basically stayed after school to work with my calculus teacher on a music project.  I was playing around on a drum set, and I just have to say it was another one of those brain-stimulating activities when I'm trying to learn something new.  The feeling was much like my first time hopping on a snowboard and trying to learn what to do.

And in conclusion, I have been wasting time downloading some aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, while doing physics.
