Oct. 1st, 2004 08:05 pmI found out today that I indeed did NOT fail my Chemistry test, and instead got only two questions wrong! Huzzah! I just sat there in disbelif when I got my test back. And that allotope question where I just threw down stuff that sounded good was actually right, so yay for visualy based memory.
And yesteryday, we had another cultural thing in school. Every once and a while, the local arts commision books a prefomer to do a show, and also sends them over to the Middle and High Schools to do prefomances. This time it was a string group: a guitar player from Russia and a fiddle/mandolin player from Minnapolis. Apparently the fiddler/madloin player is quite famous and one of the top mandolin players in the world. SO they played some songs, one or two from a show the fiddler/mandoin guy wrote, one the gutiar player wrote called "Romance in Austin" which he's considering renaming because he's never been to Austin, a Urkaninan lullby (which worked too well), and "The Puppy Belly Dance".
"The Puppy Belly Dance" was inspired by a comment made by a southern lady at a first night celebration. Apparently she packed away the food, and then told the hosts that she had a bad case of puppy belly. The fiddle/mandion guy worked and worked to figure out what it ment, and the he adventualy asked her. She said that in the great state of North Carolina, having a puppy belly was eating until your belly protruded unsightly. He immeditly thought that it needed a song.
