There is power within my melodies. Listen!

During AP Bio today, I found the most adorable little animal! It looked kind of like this:I don't quite remember the significance of this rodent, but I just know that it's really cute.

Today, in History, we started learning about World War II, which happens to be one of my favorite parts of US History, next to the American Revolution. I did an entire essay on war machines from World War II, but I didn't do so well, since my only source was Wikipedia. I also did it in less than three days, which may also the explain the lack of letter grades shaped like tepees. Sigh, I had to change my B- into a B+ with a red pen so my mom wouldn't freak out.

My music update: I downloaded some more classical music, especially different fugues. I wanted to hear what they actually sounded like, and they sound pretty cool. I particularly like the one from "St. Anne Prelude and Fugue." Wikipedia tells me that fugues contain an exposition from one voice and other voices imitate the melody. Yes, it's very complicated stuff, but it sounds like the duets I have to play for my lessons. Sigh, oboes have to play a lot of Baroque stuff. Speaking of Baroque, I kind of, sort of hate harpsichords. They are kind of, sort of annoying. But, being an oboe player, I'm not exactly allowed to complain about instruments that sound annoying.
