The band I'm in and the problems with our director So (my new standart greeting), I'm in a band. Specifically, the band of our school. We have a couple of pianists and guitarists and a drummer and all that. Then (the more special instruments that are not in every band) my friend playing a violine and me playing a flute. And then there's our dirigent and chef at the same time. He really likes us and sometimes, it will get weird. Anyways, every year, the 12th grader and we play a musical (which obviesly he decides). So trough the final performances we do (7 this year), we earn some money. Most of it is for the stuff we borrowed from stores like technics and that, because they want some money for that and for the 12th grader's prom. So some money will still be left, which is the money our lovely dirigent takes. We, the band, get nothing. Literally nothing. I wasn't in school for 4 weeks in total, getting several bad marks and getting like 6 1/2 hours sleep a night. And that makes me really angry, he just takes everything and we get NOTHING. I would expect to get at least a certificate or, how could I dare, money. But no, nothing, bad marks and that's it. To not make this entry too long, I end this here and blow off steam because just writing about this topic makes me angry. So, bye for now PS: I know I don't sound like a nice person but I swear I'm not that bad (That didn't make it better :D)

What instruments I learned for the 9 last years So (I noticed that I always start with that :D), I play an intrument. It's flute, the metallic one you hold to the right side. It's pretty cool I really like it. At the beginning, my little finger would hurt if I played for to long :D (bc for most tones, you have to push the little finger down and back then I wasn't used to it). I play now for about 3 and a half years and my teacher says for that short amount of time, I'm pretty good. But a reason fro that could be that I playerd recorder before (for 5 horrible years) so I already knew some handholds (is that right?) and could read notes, so we could skip that. What I do besides my private lessons, I'll tell you in another entry to make this one not as long as the one before (bc that was like 2,200 words and I don't think someone actually read this) So, bye for now (again :D) PS: I would also like to get corrections because I think I made mistakes but no one wanted to correct my last entry...

(Almost) A very exhausting week's end So, this is also my first entry here so I'm quite a bit nervous but I finally wanna talk about this terrible week although it's not completely over (just one day left!). So like every week, this week started with Monday. Before this week, I wasn't in school for 8 days which seems not so much but it felt like I wasn't in school for weeks (everything I'm gonna write may seem easy to you but for me it's so tiring). Back to Monday: I had to write physics test. Not too much, however I was at home at 4 p.m. Tuesday: no tests but I had a sports lesson and I got two times a 4 (I think it's a D in american schools) and two 5 (E in american, I think), so obvisely I was down. Wednesday: write a geographie test and in the last lesson a german class test (in which I always suck, bc it's always a disscusion). These two tests were written by the others the days I was sick, so I had to retake (is that even a word?). But because I didn't know the room I had to go, I was searching. I ended up going the 4 etages of our school 3 times up & down so I was so tired at the end of the day. To top that: I had to make a flyer as it was my englisch homework. A flyer about child labour completly in englisch with pictures and taht stuff. Because the printer didn't want to print and it was downstairs and I was upstairs but I couldn't take me laptop down, I ran the stairs 4 times up and down. That was the most tiring day out of all. Today (Thursday) I had to write a math class test about quadratic functions (I don't know its real name). In the test we wrote a few lessons before, I got a 5 (E?), so I had to study really hard to not get abad mark in this class test too (I hope it's going to be a 3). Tomorrow's sadly not the last day for me, but the last day of tests. It's a chemistry test and our teacher is really a... not so nice person. His tests are freaking crazy. It's impossible get a 1(A) if you're not cribbing and even if you do, you're gonna fail, so I'm hoping for a goof mark. Saturday, we (the band of your school and me bc I'm a member) are gonna participate in a contest and I really hate the songs we're gonna play. We have to wear black (I don't have a black pants, I'm gonna die). Wish me good luck bc I need it. And now I'm finally gonna do my homework bc with this entry I was just procrastinating but I have to start now, so bye for now (damn that sounds like I'm a blogger..)

When is it "It's fun" and when "It's funny" So I've always wondered, when you say "It's fun" and when "It's funny", I know this is a commonly asked question but I finally wanted to know. So, if you know it, would you be so kind to tell me when I'm using which one? If possible, please with an example, thanks in advance :)

When is 'ain't' used? I already know it's a used in present and it's something 'be'-related, but when exactly is it used? Is there a rule? Can please someone explain it, because I would feel kinds dumb asking that in class... Greetings Rike/schwambibambi
