This semester has been very eventful. I technically achieved my goals, I mean I learned three songs. They just weren’t the same ones I had mentioned before. I can now play Dance Dance, Northern Downpour, and Ready to go on guitar. It wasn’t exactly what I had specified, but I got it down and I’m counting it. The writing goal on the other hand was completed way before the deadline. As a matter of fact, instead of completing 5 chapters, I finished the entire book and started writing a new one. Now I’m trying to write everyday, which so far is going well. I have made a few songs using loops, and I learned that it’s way easier that way. I tried to mess around on the guitar to figure something out for a song, but I learned that I work better when I have something to go off of. It’s fine though, I don’t have to worry about song writing until later. Besides we're going to be learning a few things about song writing, so I should be fine. I also learned that I have to be louder when singing. During our performance at the celebration of learning, we got some feedback about volume. Our second song, Dance Dance, could’ve also used a little bit more work. Learning new songs in a short period of time was kind of difficult. I had to constantly switch between fingerings and it got kind of repetitive and annoying. Although, I stuck with it and learned the song in time, but it could’ve been more polished. Now, learning songs, I just don’t have the focus and determination to constantly switch fingerings. I kind of gave up, but I recently learned some songs and I'm trying to improve my playing by practicing switching fingerings faster. I've also taken a few steps to put myself out there more, like joining Leadership. It's been fun so far, and I'm hoping it'll help me become more comfortable speaking or performing in front of large crowds. I think I'm most fearful during the build up and of course when I'm first on stage. Then I get really focused and almost forget people are even there. That also could've been because of our first performance and the fact that I paid more attention to the music than the audience. It's fine, I'm working on it. I mean, I do have a presentation coming up soon, so we'll see how that goes. For this semester, I hope to start making music with my band, Roaming the Cosmos. Maybe by then we'll finally have our logo made so that we can put it on stuff. I'm very excited to see what kind of music we'll produce. We were also hoping to have time to make a music video or two, and I think it'll be a lot of fun.
