Brief Overview
Hey guys! Just decided to do a quick run through how my life has been going (generally) so far. Start off: School. Its been good to me so far, not yet overkill on the assignments like some other people, just still enough to ware me down a tad bit. I’ve still got two assignments due this week, so I’m going to try and squeeze it in with my mum’s schedule.
Soul Purpose. Yeah, if I hadn’t mentioned earlier somewhere, I’m a leader in JSP (Junior Soul Purpose). This term (and probably year) Soul Purpose split to try and cater for a wider range of people. Junior for a bit more fun and games, and Senior for a more Bible study type group. Mrs Corfield asked a few of us yr 9s to be leaders, and I decided I’d join. Now, Tammy, Gabi, Dietrich, Tim, Jeffery and I are leaders in JSP. We haven’t done too much yet, just help out with activities, put on a play, try to lead in group discussions, and have a rather odd session about ‘Our Family In God’ yesterday.
Band and Music. First, with band, the week before, Mark told us flute and clarinet players in Senior Band that there were one or two spots in Concert Band that he wanted to fill some spaces there (some of the yr 12s were leaving, study, you know?), and so he wanted some of us to try out. Half of us flutes decided to try out. Despite all of us playing shockingly less like we normally would (or so I and some of us thought), Mark said he thought all of us were playing around the 5th to 6th grade mark with AMEB (he also said that he wasn’t sure of the actual grade levels), which kinda surprised me. And when he was trying to point out who the better of us were, he called me a girl, but I wasn’t listening… shows how much I pay attention to people! Piano is going alright, I probably do a little too much of my practice on my songs and too little on my technical work. I’ll pay the price for that one day.
Life in general is treating me ok. I’m making new or stronger friendships with other people in school and outside. Study seems to be something I’m still lacking. I haven’t yet got a computer virus this year, but I have been getting quite a few errors… there’s a few things I’ve got to sort out though… like my room *sigh*
