And We Come to a Close.....

Goodness! Its Almost the end of the trimester, and there's still so much to do! Tuesday is the last day of 1st trimester AND the day teachers post final grades. I did get a bit lazy during the middle of the tri and now I'm REALLY wishing i stuck with it. I ended up having to take after school tests to avoid not flunking my math class. Geography on the other hand i WAS about to flunk, and after a little bit of lecturing from my parents (DARN YOU GRADES SENT IN THE MAIL!) i decided i need to start studying a lot more, and paying attention (If I had to go through summer school again, i don't think i could do it.)

So after studying, and paying attention i found out these tests and getting good grades isn't as hard as i thought. So I have gone from an F to a C- (doesn't sound like much, but keep in mind that I failed the first 3 tests miserably), and NOW i don't have to take a bunch of make-up tests OR do summer school to graduate from high school. :)

The one class i did get an A in though was my sculpture class. That is my favorite class this year though, because i get to make anything I'd like it to look like or be shaped. Also its helped me find out what materials/subjects i like to use. My first sculpture i did was made of wires (mostly copper wires), that we had to strip and then make into the shape of a bug. I thought it would be really fun to make but ended up hating it, and finding a new hate for bending wire. Finishing my project it ended up getting a C- (in my case that's a really bad grade for me to have in art).

It's supposed to look like this (or a professionals art anyway, i guess its how it was supposed to look. Sadly mine failed).

Its been so long i even FORGOT i had a blog

Well it seems to have been around 7 or 8 months since last posted something so i figured why not get back on track?' So here is whats been going on lately...or what I can recall...:)

I have been doing a lot of music stuff lately and have been able to get a bass guitar, after having to wait a few months for it. I FINALLY obtained one!!
The guitar is a Fender Jazz Bass, that's white with chrome and black. My dad was WAY nice and did some work for the owner of KSM and worked for half and then paid the rest. After tinkering with it for a few weeks i was able to get a gig bag and later a bass amp. The gig bag is a nice fender one, good for beginners. The bass amp is a Gallien Krueger 110 combo amp, which works very nicely for me. Its not to big but its a pretty good 70 watt, and about 10 cinches so I'm pretty good for now.
(the gig bag looks exactly like this except it doesn't have the gold on the front)


My mom got me a sewing book for my birthday. But not just ANY sewing book.... A STUPID CREATURES BOOK! (<-----this is the book. Its a really awesome book because it has really easy step-by-step guides to help you sew the creatures. Also with fun pictures and notes for your projects. WEE!)

Stupid creatures started from a guy trying to make a sock monkey, but ended up finishing it and accidentally making it look like a "stupid creature" or messed up looking monkey. So he got an idea to call them"Stupid Sock Creatures". here's the link for his site http://www.stupidcreatures.com/
He will do some really funny projects at times. Here's some of the classic ones he does and also the names:

1# Bandit (This ones my favorite)



2# Red Wetty

3# Wronky (I want to make this one first)

He does other projects for sewing to. Zombabies is one of the new ones he's done.
(also if you go to "Galleries" on the site, you can see a BUNCH more of them and other really cute projects)

Here's one of them:


I want to start these creatures as soon as i can, so i guess its off to the sock isle for me! :D
