        "How does it feel to multi-task with an over-loaded Audacity project and updates to a Facebook group page post?" Well I'm glad you asked. It's actually very tiring.

        It's 10:52 PM right now and thank the lord I'm going to the senior picnic tomorrow, because I would still be up, even later, doing work. But, since I won't be at school tomorrow (or at least, for my classes), I won't have to worry about that. It's 10:53 PM, I worked the entire day, not even kidding, like, as I got home, I got out the music videos for reference, song lyric sites, 31 MP3 files of K-Pop songs, and just got to work (on the CLOG Rush song mix of course).

        There was one panic moment in which 3 hours of work almost went to the shitter due to an Audacity crash. Thankfully I had auto-save on, heh, so, that was nice. I ran into multiple problems after posting it to the KDT group page. There was a song overlap-age, I forgot to include a song and so, while 15+ songs at once over to make room for it, apparently I didn't grab one and so I had to go in, fix it, re-adjust, just, a bit too many post-export edits and fixes than I would've liked.

         But it's to be expected. I'm using Audacity, which isn't the greatets program but it gets the job done, and, I'm dealing with 31 tracks here, which is the largest mix I've ever created actually. So besides all this mixing, today was just an average today. Ish. Dance was just learning a new move, apparently there's a written assignment on Monday or something, umm, math was the same, break was the same. Digital Art was just watching examples, English was actually particularly interesting. The teacher had us watch a video (literal VHS tape video from 1995) on the history of language.

        And in the process of that we took notes, where you know, you fill in the blank for phrases and stuff said in the video. The dude was Elliot Engel, and uh, well, he talked about the beginnings of language, in particular, what makes up the English language. He incorporated some comedy in his presentation which was a nice touch. The most appealing part was that, it was sincerely interesting to me, heh. Like, it answered questions that I've sorta wondered ever since elementary school. "Why is the letter A always first? How many English words are there? Is all of the English language Anglo-saxon German?"

        Lunch was the same as well. Aaand, for Gov, the assessment was a bit too easy. Just 5 questions, 3 easy, 2, basically easy as well. I kinda felt shitty for not doing the bonus "level 3" question, 'cause it all really was easy. But uh, whatever, I'll prepare for the next one. I was actually worried for nothing, I thought it would be a bit more difficult, but, guess not. And finally Chinese, where we did 2 quizzes, basically the same vocab quiz, on paper and online. Yeah, got sorta shit on the paper one, sorta shit online as well. But hey, at least I didn't use the built-in Google Web Translate, heh. The rest of class was just working in our groups on our Blendspace.

        Also forgot to mention, I had to clutch it and get my permission slip signed, especially from my Digital Art teacher. My Dance teacher was kind enough to let me leave a bit early to go to his class so I can get his signature. I didn't expect Jk and Vh to be there. I mean they are in the Digital Business Academy, but still. Got his signature, boom. Also it's 11:18 PM now, and it sure feels like a Friday night. But, no, it's actually a Thursday night, where tomorrow I gotta wake up at around 6:30 AM just so I can get to school early for the fucking senior panorama picture.

        Also some requests to fix a certain part of the mix, again. No problem though, but uh, yeah, heh, just a bit too many fixes than I thought would be needed. Anyways, see ya.
