The Good News Thread

Sports, politics, movies, videogames, questionable hobbies, photos from your family vacation, etc. Talk about stuff that isn't ponies or music. But do try to stay on topic and respectful of alternate opinions.

My mom proceeded to tell me that eventually there's going to be something I can't just overcome with ease. Everyone struggles with something.


huh.
That went better than one would expect. Pretty sure I flubbed up my french midterm.


Sudden burst of improv has hit me. I guess taking a break helps every now and then.

Break of bad news here, but honestly, I did shower for a week and took as many variables out as possible, and frankly, I'm still looking like something out of I Am Legend.

Not the best shot, but it was just to highlight the problem, which can't be seen in the camera pixelation, mostly. Open to suggestions, I guess. (Testimonials, no products and fast results preferred)

Nice hat

I'm finding my midterms to be quite easy. of course, freshman midterms are probably a lot easier than say, senior midterms, but still.

Did excellent on my guitar final (half year course, got A+) and almost as good on my math one (A). Still have to take history and then sooner or later I will find out my physics, Spanish, and English grades.

Woo! Just got another job interview, this time at Culver's (an ice cream restaurant that serves some burgers and fries, but is mostly known for its' ice cream)! Also, interesting piece of information, my French teacher during my freshman year of High School, her name was Mrs. Culvers because her husbands grandfather was the one who started the business.

They decided to do it today as well but they got kicked out of the library... :( I saw them playing in the hallway later though, so there might be a chance :D

Yeah, I go to a nerd school. Sometime, everybody in the building is going to make a video for that song Under Pressure by David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.

I considered buying Vicodin from my friend (he broke his arm) and selling it to one of my other friends who actually sells drugs.

Also, we're supposed to get like 20+ inches of snow tomorrow :3

So I take piano lessons at a Music Institute that also hosts the city Cultural Center and Symphony, and is basically one of the top non-university music schools in the country. In my lesson today I mentioned that I was teaching myself "UN Owen was Her" (also called Death Waltz), and my instructor had me play it.

Long story Short: I'm now going to be playing Japanese Video Game music in the upcoming student concert, right in between Mozart's K281 and an Etude by Heller.
I'm probably going to mess up because I'm going to start laughing while playing.
