Music = Happiness = Many other Things = Homework


Music = Happiness = Many other Things = Homework

Ah, the weight is finally lifted. This morning I wrote an exam for Intermediate Harmony, and with that, Harmony is officially over. (At least for now) I spent practically my whole summer studying for this so I’m really relieved that I got it over with. I was sorta worried about this exam since when i took Basic Harmony, I spent almost eight months learning it and this time I only had about two months. Hopefully, my marks will be average and above… fingers crossed.

In my opinion, Harmony isn’t really hard, but it is very easy to make a mistake and one stupid mistake can take away almost all marks in a question. (On a Harmony test, one question is at least ten marks) As my music teacher says: Getting a good mark on a test mostly relies on skill and understanding. The other portion is just luck…

To my friends and other people that are taking, or took the test today, good luck!!

But apparently that’s music isn’t finished for me because next week is the start to my History lessons… but for some reason I’m looking forward to it. Wish me luck!

Cloudy with a Touch of Sun


Cloudy with a Touch of Sun

Hi everyone!! This is my first post on my first blog! Thank you for reading it! Sorry for the random title, I couldn't think of anything better. I'll mention it now, I'm not the best writer so a few grammar mistakes might make their way in. Please tell me if you think I could improve in any way, thanks! So for those of you who haven’t read my profile, I’m a middle school student who likes to draw, read and write. Also, I'm a really big fan of anime, manga and such, so you may find that many of my posts are related to these topics. I'm up for drawing tips as well. I like to draw manga and anime characters but I'm self-taught. Actually, my drawings probably look really weird because I don’t have a lot of experience. I love music and recently started an obsession with quotes… (?)

That’s it for the introduction!

So you might be wondering about the title I chose for this post. Actually, there’s no real reason behind it, but I might as well talk about it. (Since it’s the title) Today, I woke up at 6:30 (very early for me) and I was like, why is it so bright outside? Anyways, I couldn't fall back asleep because it was so bright (or maybe it was just me) and that wasn't really fun. I thought for sure that the sky was mostly clear, but apparently I was wrong, because when I looked out the window, it looked like it was about to rain. But it was SO BRIGHT (again, maybe it was just me). I don’t know about you, but I hate it when I wake up early and can’t fall back to sleep. And so, that’s where the title to this post comes in because even when it’s cloudy, sunlight still makes its way to earth. And even when it’s cloudy, the sun can still wake you up at 6:30 in the morning.

That’s all I’m going to write for today, I really hope you enjoyed it and will read my future posts!!
