AP Blogging?

AP compostition and language, a class to shape your writing, create essays worthy of college and blog of course.

For senior year the feeling of being a high school student is slowly shrinking away. Majority of the classes on my scheduel are college courses anyway and with only two months to submit college applications for early admission i cannot help but feel a little rushed...The only savior from actual classes this term is Marching Band. I play the clarinet and wear my funny big hat rather proudly. All of my friends I met through marching band. I came to school here (MN) sophomore year and since there was no band for non-freshmen only one option remained...and a teacher who really would not take no for answer and BAM i am a member of the "marching machine".  Marching has now become a big part of my life, our first trip to Northwestern comming up this friday (first week of school) is enough of a relaxer to get over the fact that school is actually in session.

On a major change of topic, last night i was not sulking about a first night of homework (well maybe a little) i was getting ready to see Wicked at the Orpheum. It was really quite amazing. The minute the pit stuck up the oveture and the dragons head swayed from side to side emmiting steam i was enthralled. The music was amazing and though the lovely Guhlinda added an extremely lovable and funny character i couldn't help but be struck by how trajic the story actualy was. The forshadowing had me laughing at the relevance to the story we know from the original movie and also feel nothing but sad for the poor Alphaba and her feeble hope to be excepted, which ultimately the viewer knows how the downfall will happen (as the play does apply the original movie's outcome, though twists some key characters and adds background story that was not hinted in the movie at all). It was amazing. With one of the opening lines being "Are people born wicked or is wickedness thrust upon them?" It is a story of tragety, love, friendship and so much more.

Class is now over, until next time.
