SRP Yo
Ok, SRP is done. Pretty much school is done. Really, there is one more month until AP tests and then I will probably skip every day the rest of the quarter (don’t worry, I am only kidding). But yeah, here is my relection. Let’s take a look back on my performance, shall we?
A. When I dive back into SRP mode, I am thinking about all my sources. I had about thirteen or fourteen to start with, which I believe four or five of which were over twenty pages long. So I definitely had a lot of reading to do. The thing is, is that I didn’t read all of it. I really should have. My quotes would have been a little better if I had done so, and my overall understanding of my book and my sources would have been that much better. So this is what I would like to redo, if given the chance.
I feel like I wrote fairly well. I have always felt pretty confident with my writing abilities, and in this paper, it was the same way. My quote integrations were flawless (been learning them since like seventh grade, c’mon). So my quote integrations were good and overall I would say my writing was pretty good. So that’s what I think I did well on.
Poor: time management. The entire week we had in the library before the paper was used, I did not use to my full advantage. I should have been writing and editing all week, but that is not what I ended up doing. The weekend, I worked a little on Saturday and woke up early on Sunday to really knock it out, but I did not take the adequate time to edit more and more and thoroughly modern… I mean thoroughly go through my paper over and over before turning it in. I did feel a bit rushed, even though I didn’t think I was. So yeah, that is what I did poorly on, time management towards the end of the paper.
B. Next year, boys and girls, read your sources, read your book, and think live and breathe SRP until it is over. Now I read my book, and I read the majority of each of my sources, but I know for a fact that some people did not do either of those things, so don’t, it’s stupid. Think, live, and breathe SRP until you turn it in. This will only better your performance on it. Don’t be dumb, and please work hard. That’s all folks.
Now here it is, last one of da kuarta. WOO HOO.
I only completed my paper for my hero anyway…
Drew Harris is my hero.

Music make me Loose Control
Okay, so here's the deal, I was at this thing, and I played the drums. This dude who I have never even met played the song "free Fallin" by Tommy Petty & the heartbreakers, and i played the drums for the song. He was like "okay I am gonna play this song, let me make sure I remember the chords...." So He played the opening chords, And I was like "I CAN PLAY DRUMs!" So I went up on stage and got behind the drumset. The guy was psyched, so we both got ready for the song he was about to play.
So he starts out, and I am ready to play, but the first note I am supposed to play, I mess up. Terrible right? So i mess up, but pick myself right back up. I play the whole song and end with quite the drum solo. We shake hands and I have not seen the guy since.
This is what this picture is about. It is faded and from stage right.
It was one of the funniest and coolest things I have ever done. In the photo I am playing someone else's drumset. I almost broke a couple of sticks and was close to even breaking the drumset in general, because you know i go hard.
So pretty much, I did this all for a good laugh. It was awesome, but I only did it because Drew Harris Is My Hero.
