Updated New Years Resolutions

So let's take a look at my goals I set in January:

1. Finish my short film and film it (Before the end of the school year)
Already filmed and almost done editing. My external hard drive just arrived in the mail so I can finish. CHECK

2. Work out more often and more consistently (and eat healthier)
I've been working out consistently like all summer and this year and half of last year. This is going well. CHECK

3. Begin/Continue learning to play guitar and piano
I realized I need to concentrate what I can do. I'm spreading myself too thin and will be unable to accomplish everything I want to. I can't practice piano and guitar for half an hour every day on top of singing, reading up on acting, and all my real school work. I haven't been doing this much, but I'm not unhappy. I do want to start doing piano more again though

4. Get a B or higher on an essay in AP Comp
Obviously completed, and I got a B on my first rough draft in Am Lit which is like REALLY impressive, it's a hard class. Definite CHECK

5. Get into AP Chem
I am currently in AP Chem and it's going really well so far. CHECK

6. Do well enough in math to eventually move into Supercalc
I'm on the way, CHECK

7. Act in something and be happy about my performance, or direct a show (probably The Importance of Being Earnest) and of course do a good job
Auditions for Earnest are next weekend, and I'm starting a drama club and joining an improv club. CHECK


8. Do something big in acapella, whether it be arrange a song or get a singing solo-
I'm directing the Pokemon theme song as the first song of the year

Well, I'm pretty awesome. Go me. =D

My laptop

I lost it then I found it and now I have it and I am happy.

I love Final Cut

I just spent like two hours using it to make this video:

(It's not here right now but I'll post the link once it's done)

It's clearly not perfect, but I'm pretty alright with it for my first try. The thing is, final cut is just fun to use. That's one of the reasons I started vlogging in the first place and one of the reasons I hated iMovie 09. iMovie HD was just fun to use, and iMovie 09 was not.

And final cut is even more fun xD! There's so much stuff I still don't know how to do, it's so powerful. Ahh I am happy with it haha.

Final cut

Is awesome.

SAT Scores

I got my SAT II scores... MEH

690 in Chem and 680 in Lit

I'm pretty disappointed with a 690 in chem. I'm sure I can do much better than that. I'm definitely going to retake that one.

680 in Lit I'm not sure about... I could probably do better but based on how I felt while taking the test that's not awful.

Reading

I went to the library today and got A Streetcar Named Desire and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (two famous plays, I'm trying to become more theatrically well read). The woman I was standing next too and the woman working there both asked if I was reading them for school and were very surprised to find out I just wanted to read plays.

It's weird how reading has become so uncommon that it almost labels you to want to read something. I really ought to read more than I do, and I am trying to
