Lesson 8: It is well worth waiting for the movie to be out of theaters if you ony have to pay $2 a ticket

Quick thing, because I came home late and I want it to be today. Anyway, a bunch of friends and I saw Pirate Radio today, which was AWESOME. It was only in regular theaters for two weeks, so now it's at a cheaper theater before it's on DVD. AND it cost $6 for the ticket, a small popcorn, and a pop. Needless to say, that's much better than regular theaters.

Lesson 7: Apparently everyone connected the word triangle to its shape years ago

I'm in physics. Truthfully, I could live without the subject, but I'm taking it already and if I were to drop it that would count as quiting, and with my family that wouldn't be cool. That's just the set up to the story, I was telling my friend about what we're doing in physics (vectors) and talking about the triangles we have to draw and how it's annoying and as I was typing this my computer froze so just "tri" was on the screen. As I stared at it I realized  that it's "tri-angle" as in "three angles." Now, I always knew that a triangle had three angles, I had just never put the name to the actual thing. I don't know why, maybe I missed that class somewhere along the line, but I didn't KNOW that. So I keep telling people this story, because I don't know if I should feel smart or dumb. According to almost everyone it's dumb, because the average age of learning this from my small poll is like 1st grade. There's kind of a difference between 1st and 12th grade.

And I'm a Math Honor Society Officer. Aren't I special?

Lesson 6: Sometimes you worry for no reason

I tend to be a mix of pessimism and optimism, in all truthfulness. Usually I'm optimistic when I need to have more realism and pessimistic when I need a little more faith. It happens, though. So, anyway, my school does this thing called CEIP, which is basically a half year course where you intern once a week and what not and I had the idea of interning with my old third grade teacher who now teaches kindergarten and my cousin. Now, though I had the idea I didn't act on it until Monday and by then I was going on all of the things that could go wrong because I waited so long. BUT I just heard back from the principal today and it seems like it will go on without a hitch. Yay!

Lesson 5: A choir Soprano and a musical Soprano are two completly different things

Today was the first day of musical rehearsal, I might have mentioned that yesterday, I think I did. So, in choir I'm a Soprano 2, so I can't hit the ultra high notes, but I get by. The musical however, is different. The Altos' normal stuff is where the Soprano 2's usually are for choir and the Sopranos are way up there. I think our highest note is above the bars with a line under it. I don't know the name of it, because as soon as it's off the bars I get confused. But, yes, I find it interesting how high it is and how many seconds there are even if there's no divsi.


So, poll time because I have nothing better to do and I want to compensate for this being so short, what's your favorite musical? 

Lesson 4: My time is going to be drastically decreased from now on

Ok, I know this is another post about me. I'm sorry, please forgive me. Anyway, today the director of my school's musical released the practice schedule and it seems to have more hours of practice than last year, so that will be my life until February 13th and then more fun ensues of the more fun kind.
Not that the musical isn't fun. I mean, I signed up for this (oooh, look, tying in Lesson 1), but it's less fun than some other things.

And that's all I have to say for today, kind of in a blah mood. I'm sorry for another nonsense post.

Lesson 3: I fail at introductions

I suppose this thing would be a lot more interesting if the reader (aka you) knew who I was. Or maybe I'm ruining the mystery. Anyway, yes, I need to introduce myself see that I introduced the blog.
My name is Taylor (aka Tay) and I'm a senior who lives in Western New York (ooooh, being non descriptive). I'm currently still jailbait until March, yay for not being legal yet. I'm the oldest of three, with two younger brothers and I have a medium number of cousins/second cousins. I'm involved in Honor Society's, the Performing Arts, and our literary club at the current moment and will be going into the teaching field. One day I'm hoping to get my Doctorate in Specialty Education to teach at a college level AND I hope to get my book published.


And that's all I think you have to know at the moment.

Lesson 2: I like to make rules

So it's true. I made rules for Quill, our Relay team, and anytime I admin a site there's a long list of rules. This isn't really a new lesson, it's more of reaffirming the lesson itself. But, that's part of the rules.
Which are going to be listed now:
1. No rules may be repeated within a six month time frame.
2. The lessons don't always have to be new, but if they are repeats (that follow rule number 1) they have to have a different description.
3. I will keep things as generic as possible. So I'm not going to be all "*Name* did this and so I learned that *lesson*". If I do want to refer to people they're just going to be "A friend of mine" or what not.
4. No lessons will be edited. More specifically, edited with the actual lesson, I can change the grammar and that stuff, but not the actual lesson.
5. Lessons will be posted once a day. If they are not posted, I will post make-up posts and give a reason why either before or after the missing post.
6. There will be more rules to come. What can I say? I'm forgetful

So far this has been thrilling, hasn't it? I'm sure you can't wait for the other posts. Don't worry, once this basis stuff is done it'll get better.
