Hey guys,
Quite a bit has happened recently, so I'll fill you all in...
School
On the 7th I went back to school for my final year in secondary school (or high school as you american's would call it :-) ) I'm staying pretty on top of all my coursework and exam revision, so that's great. I've started thinking about colleges and universities already! I know I'm only 15, but I think it's always good to think ahead! One of the university courses I've been considering is a Music with Japanese 4 year course. How great would that be!? My two favourite things into 2 qualifications!!!
Music
On the 18th of July my band The Shydogs got our first proper gig! We played in a bar in our local town, and it was pretty fun. Certain things like the sound didn't go perfectly as planned, but the audience seemed to enjoy it. WELL this was nothing compared to what we would see on the 5th of September! We got a second gig and we had all just gotten back from our 6 weeks holidays, therefore we hadn't practised in a while. We practised twice (once on our new drum kit :D ) and in the end the gig went AMAZING :) We were performing to complete strangers this time - none of our friends were in the audience! Yet a large group of them went crazy, despite never hearing our music! They made a human pyramid :lol: and ran around dancing to our music. It was awesome :) We even got an encore in the end! Also, we've been offered a gig at someone's party where we'll actually get paid! We've also made some fans recently. There are 2 girls called Carly (19) and Sam (13) and they are both strangers who love our music and stalked us down on the internet. :lol:
In other news, I have some more work! I'm making 3 tracks for my mate Stephen's video game and getting paid £100 for it. YESSSSS.
Japanese
Right, big news. I've stopped using My Japanese Coach on the DS! :O
The reason? I now have an awesome course on my computer with Rosetta Stone, the best language trainer ever! I'm really enjoying it so far so I'm hoping my Japanese will improve smoothly from here on.
Gaming
Now that I've stopped playing My Japanese Coach I'm gonna start investing some real time into DS games such as Dragon Quest IX. I love that game!!! I'm also continuing to play through SSBB :)
That is all.
