mid-term show

I thought my mid-term show was going to suck like nothing else. I had a huge headache that day and was so tired. But I had to go and perform my substitution song. In this unit at school each person goes up and sings a song, just like every other review show, but this time Kevin (our singing instructor) throws things at you that you have to go with. During the class workshop of this I hated it. I was sooo frustrated and in tears basically the whole time. Trying to sing through it. Ugh! However, the show went really well. I felt like I overcame the song.

BREAKING NEWS!

After melissa has been taken over with the Swine for the past billion years, she is now able to be in public, and is on her way here as I type this. She even is taping gossip girl to come and watch 8 simple rules, and what I like about you, with me. YAY!

My Halloween was pretty good. I dressed up in the morning to teach my musical theatre class. I didnt really have a costume or anything so I quickly googled "simple, easy halloween costumes" the morning of, and decided to be SUPER NERD! A super hero who's powers are her nerdyness. Well the kids enjoyed it anyways, haha. Later on, in the evening, I went to Joey tomatoes with my family, where my brother proceeded to eat his leftover lunch while waiting for our dinner to arrive. Really? I mean, you just don't do that! At a restaurant, no less! Well those of you who know my brother know he's not one to follow what everyone else is doing. Anyways, we rented a movie called "The Stone of Destiny" starring Charlie Cox! He is beautiful and his accent is amazing. It is based on a true story and its pretty funny. Hmm, maybe I can convince Melissa to watch it tonight.

So Im very excited for the animation open house this weekend. But I have to go after teaching, hopefully I wont miss anything.

I guess I should stop writing now and do stupid homework. barf!

Are you allowed to bring your drawings to the open house? That would be really exciting if you got some critique on it. You're right, it is breaking news that I get to be out of the house and am no longer Swine-tagious (haha, get it?).

I'm so glad your substitution class went okay. I wish I could have seen it... too bad at that point I was still a danger to society.

The Walrus and the Carpenter

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd,
because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?""I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!
"The Walrus did beseech."
A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head--
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stoodAnd waited in a row.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"

"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.
"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--

Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."
"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would beA dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!
"The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!
"The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
