Today I got my art drawing back that I did about two weeks ago when we started our drawing unit. My teacher mentioned to the class before he handed them back to us that he thinks some of us traced our drawings. He said: "Some of you probably traced your drawings, and then realized that I would probably notice that you traced them, so you moved one object over to make it look imperfect." When I got my drawing back, he asked me if I traced mine and I said "No, I didn't. I swear," because I would never trace it because that's cheating but I also find that it's cheating my own self. He said that he held mine up to the original photo that we had to copy (it was a still-life photo) and that everything was in exactly the right place but the wine bottle was a bit thicker. However, he believed that I didn't trace mine (I said that I could do another right in front of his eyes) and changed my mark of 14/15 to a 14.5/15. Some of you probably think that I'm the pickest person ever because I wanted more marks, but that's not the case. I just wanted to make sure that he doesn't think I cheat. :P
I recently put more music onto my iPod. I put the FIFA Soccer Video Game Soundtrack from 2005 on and I think that "Vive la Vida" by Gusanito is my favourite song. I also have some polish music on there; it's the album Pan Tadeusz. I love the song "Soplicowo".
There's a girl in four out of five of my classes at school named Becca. She moved here this year from Winnipeg and she became a good friend of mine. I think we're going to go to the market on Saturday since she hasn't seen it yet, then she invited me to her house after that until our Production starts. She lives on the huge hill that I have never walked up but she has to walk up it every morning and down it every afternoon after school... I'm probably going to have to walk up the hill to Production. :| Oh well.
In school we're reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee for English class. I think it's a very good book and I'm enjoying it. I'm on Chapter 26/31 so I'm almost done. I'm also almost done the first short story in the Woman's Hour Book of Short Stories. I started it maybe a month ago so as you can see I haven't read basically any of it. I think that once my workload at school lightens (we get homework in English, Math and Science every single night although tonight I have a night of from English) I'll keep reading it.
I also want to knit my brother a pair of mittens and maybe one for my dad, but I don't know how often he would wear them. I wouldn't mind knitting myself a little hat or something either. I am almost done knitting the scarf I started about 2 months ago; I used to be able to sit down a lot near the end of the summer and knit but again, I'm in school now and I have a lot of work. This wouldn't be a problem but I find it extremely hard to concentrate on things that I find boring.
Well that's it for now, I don't know when the next time I write will be but I'm trying to make it more often.
