Holiday Fever! :P

With the start of the holidays,I know it will become harder and harder to continue with my CAS activities so I think I should outline what I plan on doing when we get back to school in January.
1)  First of all,the Dance Club. It was an absolute disaster if I have to be totally honest. So we decided that next year,we'll go into classes during register period on Monday's and actually speak to people about the dance club and let them know what we'll be doing and how we'll be doing it. One of my friends, Alyona, suggested that we also making colourful posters that appeal to the eye. I refuse to give up on the dance club and I will not give up until we have at least 6 new regular members. :D
2) In our last CAS session,Mr. Gray gave us more suggestions or instructions rather,about how to improve on our CAS achievements and whatnot. One of the suggestions was that we begin to do projects that last between 2-3 months instead of activities. I have a pretty good idea but I'm not entirely sure how it will work out. It will require the entire year 12 class to work together and bring in all out different skills in order for everything to be perfect. I will post the entire plan as soon as I've thought about everything that can go wrong and how I'll be able to fix it.
3) Last but not least,I need to find the energy to finish my er.....'cover' of Fallin' by Alicia Keys. I realised that this might be a problem as I will be attempting to juggle too many tasks as well but I will try as much as I can to try and get it done.  In the mean time...Happy Holidays :D

Hockey- Progress at last

Today I played hockey. Just like I do every Monday...most of the time. I think I did pretty well today,I was on a role! Unfortunately, I couldn't capture one of what I would describe as the most perfect goal ever, on camera. Basically,Mr Short passed the ball to Mr. Hubbard who then passed the ball across the court to Mr. Gray who then passed it to me and then I gave it my all it went right into the left corner of the goal. The synchronisation of the entire process was SO cool! :P Anyways,today was much better than most. I passed the ball around more,I scored more and I tried to make myself available for passes. Hopefully next term,I'll be able to gather some evidence of my progress...that's all :)

Mission Impossible

It's been a while since I posted anything on my blog regarding my progress with my CAS activities but I have been doing them all ,I swear! :P I've decided to learn how to play 'Fallin' ' in the style Alicia Keys on my keyboard. I think this will take a lot of concentration and perseverance but I'm sure I'll feel pretty awesome when I accomplish the task. I have already managed to master the 3 main chords but I can't seem to synchronise my left and right hands. If I don't have any treble with this,I will be playing like a pro in about 1 1/2- 2 weeks. I have attached a link to the video I am using.
