The End of the Line

Hey people, it's been a hell of a long time since I haven't done a post for this blog. I know that this blog is essential to write, (not only for the reader's enjoyment, but also for my report card) but forgive me if I haven't managed to find enough time to make posts for you guys. (do note that the reason behind "not managing to find time" doesn't only extend to school-related matters, I also have my own reasons) But seeing that it's been a long time since I haven't updated this blog for you, I guess that I should tell you guys about what happened. And believe me, quite a lot has happened in the last couple weeks. (or months, I don't really remember) Among these events were:

• The completion of our music class. Yes, music class ends in the range of one semester, sorry to say. But we managed to go out with a bang; we managed to finalize our end-of-semester performance. We narrowed the songs down to three phenomenal, legendary hits and focused on perfecting that. And I'm not gonna brag, but I think we aced that thing. Sure, there were a few errors along the way, and I have to admit, even the final performance could've used some improving. But we learnt a lot, such as how to play the kolintang at a fast rate, how to "dance" (during this phase, a person (whose name I'd like to keep under wraps) also learnt how to make the perfect "evil laugh", but that's beside the point), and how to re-enact the Beatles' performance when they did "Hey Jude". (I have to admit, I didn't actually sing. I just introduced the song, but that still counts for something...right?) I learnt the finer points of public speaking, and how to react if the crowd unexpectedly cheers SPECIFICALLY at you while you're onstage. To sum it all up, we did a pretty good job for our final performance.
• A reflection on the ups and downs of each person's performance in the semester. (actually, the "performance" was analyzed by a student's blog, which, in quite a lot of cases, wasn't done yet. Hooray...) Unsurprisingly, a few girls (whose names I would ALSO like to keep anonymous) got outstanding feedback for their blogs. And unsurprisingly, the boys ALSO got outstanding feedback regarding their blogs. (note: by "outstanding", I didn't mean that we got excellent grades for our blogs, by "outstanding" I meant that some boys were praised for their creativity, although our performances weren't as stellar as most of our opposite gender. (no offense, guys who are reading this, I'm a male too) We'll get to that later, OK?) Certain boys were full of creativity, which they expressed in their blogs. On the other hand, I was full of creativity...and, um, "free speech" (in the form of joking references to the class and a few, um, how should I put this gently, uhh, "symbolized swear words") which I may have gone a little overboard with. ("bleeped" "R-Rated-level" curse words, which I will NOT tell you for reasons you are about to find out) If you've read my previous posts, (as of December 4th, 2014 and earlier) you may have noticed that I've got a bit of a "cursing problem" compared to my classmates, even if those words are symbolized. So to make a VERY LONG explanation short, let's just say that the school authorities have a bit (a BIT? who the hell are you kidding, Jay?) of a problem regarding curse words, so I'll, um, go back and replace those words with more "user-friendly" vocabulary in a few days, hm? Alright, thanks for your understanding. Phew. I think I need help...

After a week's time or so, get ready to kiss this blog AND the school goodbye. (for the school, I'll be back in time for next semester, but this blog's gone for good. Sorry) I know, it's a bit sad for me too, because I think I've poured out a bit of my heart into this blog. (metaphorically, of course) On the bright side, another brand-new class will be taking my class's place. They'll also be doing the same thing as my class: blogging, preparing for the final performance, the usual. But nevertheless, I'll be missing this class. I really will. The memories, the activities we did... OK, I'm getting too far ahead of myself. The point is, I really miss this class, and I'll be missing you guys too. But thank you for reading. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be, ahem, (clears throat) busy turning down the "intensity" of my posts, making my other schoolwork, getting ready for the holidays, the regular. This is Jason from the Year 8 music class saying goodbye. Thank you all, and peace out.

THE END?
