Tests are almost over, Thank You!

As I near the final 13 days of school here in Western New York; I have just a few final tests. One is tomorrow, the ELA Think Link (a comprehensive test in English), the Spanish State Test and my Math Final Exam.

The Spanish State test is on Monday, June 22nd at 8am; from taking the Practice exam earlier it seems pretty east… Tomorrow I will be taking another practice exam, starting with the Listening portion. The following day we will take the written portion (part 3 & 4) of the practice exam.

The Math Final Exam will most likely be easy because it is only 25 questions and most of this year’s math content was quite easy. There is a lot that could show up on this; but with the review we have started, it shouldn’t be too difficult! This test is next Thursday at 11am ET (for me).

I have taken the English State Test, the Math State Test, the Science one and Social Studies — here comes my final state test for the year and then I will be on to the summer with entry to High School next September.

My Guitar

Electric Guitar

This Guitar is similar to mine, but mine is white.

Been a bit since I’ve made a post here on my blog; I thought since I haven’t written about my Guitar yet, it was about time. I’ve been being taught how to play my Guitar for the past five (“5″) weeks and I just learned the E minor and I know the major.

I’ve been getting lessons on Tuesdays at 3:30 until about 4:30 since the beginning of May and this next lesson I will be beginning “book work” with reading music and music theory; this will make it so that I can learn more chords and play music off of sheet music.

I’ll keep you updated on how it is going, right here on my Blog and I plan on writing songs as I improve in playing the Guitar. Once my first song is complete, you will know and I hope to be able to sign a record deal eventually!
