day 5 of studyblr community challenge

have you ever done a challenge before?

i have not actually! i really do enjoy doing this one though. i decided to partake in this one as my first challenge in this community and i like it a lot! it keeps me motivated to do school and studying so that i have pictures to show for it, so it keeps me going. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

today i had a quiz in anthropology which went by pretty fast and was relatively simple in full honesty. I’ve been waiting to get notes from someone in the class so i can do some catch up. being a visual and kinesthetic learner proves very difficult when youre learning online. i feel like im falling behind in full honesty but i talked to my teacher and they told me they would work it all so i feel a little more confident about that. 

in full honesty, today really wasnt great. it was really rainy and cold. i had a really bad wave a depression mid way through the day and kept breaking down while i was trying to get work done.  i decided to take a break at around 6 to get some supper (chicken caesar salad) and came back in a much better mind set. I do have an ap bio test tomorrow on evolution and weinberg equilibrium so I got down to studying right away and listening to some old 40′s instrumental to calm me down. a late night study session was really what i needed, so the day ended off on a good note :)

I also watched the presidental debate today! It was ceartainly interesting… I just regestered to vote a few days ago, so this will be the first election I vote in! 

I did meet up with the priest from back home for lunch today! It was great seeing him again! We ended up getting lunch out on the pier at this resturant that has apparently been here for over 20 years, but I had no idea it was there… It was really good though! And it was great talking with him, he’s staying here for a few more days with his family to check out some of the tourist spots. But apparently Oregon hasn’t changed much since I left, so that’s good to hear.

I finally got a chance today to play the Hamilton music my family sent me! I kinda suck at it now, just because I’m sightreading all these pieces. But once I get better at them I might post a video of one of the songs for you guys! So far all I can play is slow songs and What’d I Miss. SInce it’s Hamilton, even the slow songs go kinda fast, so they’re still a lot of fun to play! I’ll work towards getting one of the fast songs though, maybe I’ll try playing Room Where it Happens. It’s kinda tricky to rap on flute or oboe though 

Besides that though, today’s been a pretty normal day. Just spent the last three hours facetiming my best friend from high school. It was so great seeing him again! He seems to be doing pretty good, he’s going to school in California at the University of San Francisco now. I’ll have to visit him in San Fran sometime, then later I can show him around Honolulu!

Tomorrow me and a few friends were planing on going to Pearl Harbor for the day. We found a thing online that will let us get in for free, so that’ll be fun! I’ve gone once before with the band and we played on the deck of one of the ships, but we didn’t get to see the rest of the museum. I’m very excited to see it though! I’ll be sure to take a bunch of pctures for you guys
