We had to scrap the Secret song (a song from the Jay Chou movie, Secret, that is) because I failed at it once we moved from the basement to the actual 'stage.' I don't know what happened exactly (I know what I did wrong, but I don't understand why I lost my sense of counting so badly), but I'm disappointed, even though in reality, I know that I only learned the song - without sheet music, too, which I'm pretty dependent on - two days ago, and George went and changed all of the rhythms today. >.>
So we're playing Pachelbel's Canon and "Memories" from Cats with Arash, and the short violin duet we played last semester; actually, it's all from last semester. XD But it's fine. We didn't know we'd been automatically signed up to perform until less than a week ago.
I still don't really feel ready. I hate that whenever I perform, regardless of how well I've tuned beforehand, I always feel like I'm wildly out of tune. x_x
Well. I'll wake up at 8 to get dressed, practice with George at 8:45, and then be ready for my shift at 9:10... this weekend feels like it's been non-existant, which always happens with PCB. It just takes over.
Day 4 already? o_O Hm. A site, eh? How about Denshi Jisho? Sometimes, I feel like their definitions for words are really, really broad or really varied (which may just be the word, but I dunno), but I generally find this site pretty useful. As in, I depend on it for word lookups when I try to translate. :P
I really like their Kanji look-up system, where you can select any/all of the radicals in a kanji and - usually - find it, and also that you can get sample sentences using the words you look up, though the results of that can be hit-or-miss, depending on what you're looking up. Also, when I just want to get hiragana for something, I like that I can type the romaji into the search box and it gets turned into hiragana.
...I can still hear snoring even with my headphones in and music turned up about four times louder than usual (yes, I know this is bad for my ears >.> I seriously cannot sleep with snoring, though; I'm just waiting for it to stop for a bit).
To end on a good note, Korean pancakes = excellent. The kimchi ones are bright orange, and have just the slightest bite to them at the end. XD
