Today. December 6.

I realize that I've already missed three journals (probably four now). But I feel like writing a journal today anyways. So today was in general an "OK" day. Yesterday, I had a quite a lot of homework, so I went to bed quite late. Before class started, I went to check my PSAT score. Although I got quite a high score, I actually dropped 3 points from the practice test. That makes me kind of annoyed and sad. I knew that I didn't do as well as in the practice test, but still. Dropping down 3 points is 30 points by SAT marking systems. So my final score actually means its a worse score than my SAT practice tests. This makes me worried about my SAT score. PSATs are supposed to be easier... right? Anyway, although it is a pretty high score compared to the rest of the school, I'm still kind of annoyed. There are more people who got a higher score than me this time, but they're all in higher grades than me. Still. I wanted to get a higher score. Geometry was alright this morning. I'm really happy about my test score in the chapter test though. Chemistry is kind of hard as usual, and the teacher is assigning a LOT of homework as usual. I'm going to be having a FUN (sarcasm) week I bet with all the chemistry homework. In musical production class we practiced another scene, I was in charge of taking pictures with one of my friends. I can't seem to get good pictures though. But somehow, my friend can capture amazing pictures. Then in MUN class I almost fell asleep when we were talking about political systems. In orchestra I was really glad because I thought I played quite well today. So tonight when I was doing homework I listened to many songs. I love listening to music when I'm doing homework. I listened to songs for example: talking to the moon, the one that got away, count on me, etc. Then I also listened to this internet meme, the "Trolololol man". It's hilarious. Now, I'm listening to Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu, which is one of the pieces I'm going to master before I die, when I find time. It's one of my absolute favorite pieces ever, and I WILL be playing it one day. I literally can't stop listening to it.

Songs That Mean A Lot

There are many haters in the world. Sometimes, they judge a song by who sang it. If someone else had sang that song, they would worship it. That's stupid. At times I just want to shout, 'SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC.' Many of these songs actually mean something. Recently, I've heard the song 'Skyscraper' by Demi Lovato. Many people in this world really hate her for absolutely NO reasons at all. (Haters= Having Anger Towards Everyone Reaching Success). So anyway, her song is about overcoming difficulties and staying strong. Many artists have songs that mean a lot. Most of the themes of the songs are easy to relate to. One artist once said that songs are messages and the artists are the messengers. One song I find really meaningful is 'American Pie' by Don McLean. It was about the airplane crashed that killed some of the best artists in the world. It talks about 'the day the music died'. I also like the song 'Someone Like You' by Adele. It is about her breakup with her boyfriend. I think it is an amazing song. It has good lyrics and a good tune. Most of the best songs in the world are the ones that the singer can actually relate to, and is sang with true passion. Another song I think is probably one of the best songs (it's actually a song from the musical, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the ORIGINAL one) is Pure Imagination. It has such amazing lyrics. I love listening to it. It also has this really mystical and fantastical tune. Eminem also has a lot of songs that mean a lot to him. Like his song 'Mockingjay' and 'When I'm Gone' are both dedicated to her daughter. I think crappy songs that don't mean a thing and are insulting should be banned and made illegal.

50's, 60's, 70's

The topic of this journal is, yes, based on the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, but no, its not about the political and economical statuses of the times. It's about music. Unlike a lot of people my age, I love music from these three time periods. I have a youtube account and I've got a playlist just full of songs from then.
50's: One of my favorite songs from the 50's is 'Mack the Knife', by Bobby Darin. I listen to it almost every other day and can never ever get sick of it. I also really like 'Catch a falling star' by Perry Como. Another of one of my absolute favorites is 'Fever' by Peggy Lee. Its so addictive for me. Also, I really like 'Earth Angel' by The Penguins, and I've heard it ever since I could remember.
60's: I LOVE 'Moon River' so much. Its one of my absolute favorite favorite songs. I can never ever ever ever get sick of it. I listen to it so much its unbelievable. I also absolutely love 'A Nightingale sang in Berkeley Square'. I also LOVE this song so much, especially the Nat King Cole version. Another song I like from this period is the Elvis Presley song 'Are you lonesome tonight?' I also like a couple of the Beatles song from this period. Especially 'Blackbird', its such an amazing song. Another song I like is 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco'. Also, I like the song 'Don't Rain on My Parade' sang by Barbra Streisand on the musical 'Funny Girl'.
70's: One of my favorite songs is also 'American Pie' by Don McLean. I also really really like 'Hotel California' by the Eagles. Also, I like some of the Beatles songs. But there's not a lot of songs I like from the 70's. Although in the 80's, I do like the Stevie Wonder song: 'I Just Called to Say I Love You'. I kind of like the Gloria Gaynor song, 'I Will Survive' but I think it kind of got old and its become a sort of joke now. Another song I find is fun and cool is 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' by Cyndi Lauper, I've listened to it countless times.
These are just some songs I like from this period of time. Some others of my all time favorite artists include: Queen (I love Queen so much), Michael Jackson (sometimes), The Police, Louis Armstrong, etc. Some modern bands and artists I like are: All Time Low, Fall Out Boys, My Chemical Romance, Busted, Avril Lavigne, Rihanna, etc.
