Yay, music! I love music! I play 2 instruments, listen to music all the time, and live in Austin, TX, the music capitol of the world! I'm even listening to music while I'm writing this! I enjoy techno/electronica, alternative, trance,(some) country, rock, and other genres that I don't know the name of. My favorite band is probably Coldplay, they're pretty much awesome. I also like Embrace, the Strokes, Gomez, the Arcade Fire, and some other independant artists such as Jack Conte, and Oren Lavie. I mainly like kind of quite or mellow music, and I don't really like heavy metal, or any intense stuff.
Last week was spring break! I mainly just stayed at home sleeping, but I saw some friends, and went to San Antonio for a day. This weekend, I'm going to a fencing tournament in Houston, hopefully I'll be able to get a rating! For those of you that don't know, in fencing, you get rated; E is the lowest, A is the highest. I'm currently a U fencer. (Unrated) But hopefully I'll be able to get up to E this weekend.

My Interests
I'm interested in many things, so I'll name a few. First off- movies! I love making and watching movies. It's kind of hard to make good movies by yourself, but I might have my friends help me. One kind of movie I can make by myself is animation! Right now I've been experimenting with stop motion animation, which is where you take a picture of an object in one position, move the object's position slightly, take another picture, and repeat. When you put all the pictures together, and speed it up, it looks like the object is moving on it's own. I was going to put up a sample, but blogger is being mean...
I'm also interested in reading, mainly fiction. Some of my favorite books are, "Ender's game", "Dog Days", and "New Tricks". Another thing I'm interested in is music. Some of the bands I like are Coldplay, Embrace, and the Strokes.
These past two weeks were relatively eventful. We had two orchestra concerts, once during school, and one after school. In the school concert I got lost on one of the pieces, then thought I knew were to come back in, but ended up playing on the wrong beat....oops.... Also, I missed most of my math classes last week, the first time, I left early to go to the orthodontist. Then, the next day was tax, so we didn't learn anything new. The the next day I played at the concert, and missed another lesson that turned out to be really important. To make up for missing class, I tried to come in for tutoring during lunch, but my teacher wasn't there. Finally I got caught up the next day after school.
