So my band failed...-tear-
OH WELL. Right now i am bored and home because i don't feel well. I'm waiting for this guy to get online so i can annoy him [because his school closed because of sick people]. Until then i thought i'd write about nothing really.
I've bought my website! I now own it with real money. it is now called http://cryptofthecreative.com/ and has fifty members. we have chat parties everyday. In fact yesterday we played truth or dare for hours and ended up getting one guy to look like a girl and one girl to have to dry all her pink stuff from it being left in the rain.
It was really funny. We have random conversations. from video games and tv shows to haunted houses and fantasies, we have a blast! come join us if your bored~

Closing the book on the final chapter of summer college.
I can't believe it's over! I'm so sad i want to cry! I guess I'll get the last post over with -sniff sniff-
On our way up the four flights of stairs i was kind of sad, but i guess I'll have to get on with life without that tired exercice. We started off in another class room today. Right away we started writing about anything and everything. We were instructed to let our minds step away and let the words flow. I came up with a new idea that I'll surly continue!
Than we took a item from the front and wrote a short story about. I'm all most done with mine and wont tell you the item because it should be obvious once you read it. When i'm done I'll be sure to post it in my writing area.
After we were kicked into our old room we were given snacks -yay snacks!-. Yuxi, Jesus, Suhaylah and I all were called into the Honors Lounge to practice for later. The lounge was nice and we did good, it was a fun little practice. When we got back to the class it was time for the picture slide show. I look HORRIBLE in pictures... After them, though, Adam sung us a song so that was good!
At lunch we did another stupid worksheet and than drew hands that we got to write all over....pointless but fun.
Art was spent getting ready for the gallery. That was hard for me because i had SOOO much art to work with! Eventually i decided on three pieces and i got them all ready and hung up. For the rest of the time i let my mind wander. It took me to many fun place that you'll all hear about later!
After that it was time for fun before the final ceremony. We went into the game room and played pool! I Chinese torchered [where the nail is pulled from the skin on your fingers] myself with my nails -sniff sniff- it hurts still! After an hour or so we went into the dinner. It was fun, the food was good, and i ended up sitting with my friend Mary and her family without knowing it! It seemed to drown on but i don't mind, i liked it.
After i read my piece the claps were so loud! I felt really good about it! I like reading in front of people now. Yuxi was good too, i went after here. After me was Suhaylah and i love her poem. Jesus is always awesome so why should i post that AGAIN, oh wait, because he's awesome enough for it hah! The rest of the night moved quickly after that. Some physics PowerPoint's, some awards, and a lot of talking. It was really interesting! I'm so sad its over ...
Don't think this is the end of my daily blog, oh no sir-ie! I plan on posting as often as i can!
Until next post, this has been Angela N. Tharp, the newly published short story author and artist!

Second to last day....
I can't beleive everything is ending. I'm so sad. Today was great but the thought of it ending is heart breaking.
I went to writing this morning and we spent our time writing to music and editing each other's works. We got to listen to Mr. Fairman's band for a moment. Some music was just music, some was music and poetry. I ended up writing three poems and starting a short story. Then we had to write down five nouns and swich them up to make a prompt. I ended up starting an interesting short story. At the end of class i found out that I am going to be reading at the dinner for sure tomorrow, but only have two minutes to read four pages. I stayed late and got to hear Adam, a TA, sing a song he wrote. It was pretty good! the beat he was singing to was off though. When we walked to my next class we had to use his getto umbrella, that thing was awesome!
In connections we danced again today. We learned swing, caribian, Cleveland Shuffle, and yoga today. I had to dance with Adam during the swing part, it was funny. He was over ensentric.
In art we finished up our projects for the art gallery tomorrow. I paint-printed a picture for my mum and hopfully she'll like it. It's going to be my final in the gallery. i also made a heart for my boyfriend! Thomas, the TA, was not happy to find out we had to make a thank you card to some snobby rich people for giving up a few dollors so we could have our summer instatute. I kind of agree, but am still thankful because I'd be bored without college.
Well that's all I can think of... see everyone next time!
Bye from Angela N. Tharp

My Japanese Coach - Game Review
I have recently been playing My Japanese Coach on the Nintendo DS. Seeing as I already knew some Japanese [as with any language you can never say you know most or a lot of it] I was expecting it to be boring and easy in the beginning. I found myself quite interested when I saw that they test you in order to see what level you should be on. I myself was started on a farther in level.
I also liked the feature that aloud you to go back and learn or review past lessons. All in all the game was mostly good. I will post the goods and bads of the beginning of the game now and add on the rest later because it's late and I am rather tired.
Good
*Tests you to see what level you are on
*Is interactive
*Hands on learning, even if through a hand held game system
*Helpful in the sense of seeing how the words are written and hearing how they are meant to sound.
*Games are interactive and fun, but not too easy
Bad
*Even if you know some words, if you skip lessons you might be skipping important words.
*Is easy to put down and doesn't make you want to focus on it for a long while
*Gives no real life simulations that would be needed to help motivate you to learn and remember
*It can be hard to understand the recording and can seem overwhelming to some
Now I will give a list of the first lessons words just so everyone knows what i'm talking about.
Lesson One:
Good - ii - いい
Bad - dame - だめ
Yes - hai - はい
No - iie - いいえ
Hello - konnichiwa - こんいちわ
Goodbye - sayounara - さようなら
This - kore - これ
That - sore - それ
Thank you - arigatou - ありがとう
I (formal) - watashi - わたし
I hope you all liked my first game review for My Japanese Coach! I had fun talking about it and will put up another one later on. That one will have more information about the whole game in it for you all!
So this has been Angela N. Tharp [or Anjeru in Japanese] and I hope everyone wants to learn Japanese now!

Second Field Trip!
Today the writers [and artists] went to the play house. It was spectacular!
But, before that we were in class and got to meet Dr. Scott G. Miller [a playwright] He was a nice man. We read a crappy play that he wrote to be crappy to show us what not to do. He also works at CSA so I might be seeing him more often. He got us to start thinking of ideas for a play. Eventually he made me write the beginning of mine on the board and then at the end of class we performed it. It was rather funny. Since i had written it quickly, editing as i went, i had horrid hand writing. The people acting out my characters could read their lines. It was funny!
All in all it was a good morning. During lunch we had an open mic time and i read two of my pieces. I was glad when everyone liked them, or at least i hope they did!
After that we left for the play house. we got two tours. One of PBS and Imaginary Inc [or something of that nature] and then of the play house and theaters themselves. It was rather interesting and i was happy to go! I liked looking at the old art of the building and the art work that was brought into it. Some was from Italy, England, France, all over the world. It was magical. I hope to go there again someday.
