Launch: mixtape
Well the love I express today will hopfully care over for the next year! And I hope that all I love and care from will be reminded about how much they matter to me. If there was anything I need to advise anyone with is that always be on the "up and up" cause rushing to buy toward the deadline isn't a good thing and is a challenge for many.

Journal entry 1/28/14

I have just started producing music and I have found a huge passion for it, so i decided to do a Mixtape that is influentially based on Dr. Preston's class. I have already thought of at least a dozen of ideas for it from Album Art work to song ideas. I am really excited for the out come and can not wait to have it out there for all to experience !

The choice
Roman Davis
Dr. Preston
P-1

I well I can talk about because it is already happening, and what was something that I found difficult to do is working with my ex in a difficult class. It's just hard because we both do not talk to each other so if we have to work in a group it's just going to be weird and uncomfortable just like Highschool.
(Now why so little, this is because I only gave my self five mintues to write. I did this because I wanted to write on something that I know is really buggin me and on my mind and the worst thing will always come to mind first because it was the most detrimental to your feelings.) basically I didn't want time to think about painful times to hinder which one was really bugging me the most. My hypothesis about this one is probably because it is the most recent problem I have come upon.

VOCAB #1 PERFORMANCE REVIEW
I think I did pretty well, 7/10 isn't too bad for only studying for about 4 minutes. I did slack though but here is the beauty out of it ! since I did so little and still got a decent grade that just proves that 8 to 10 mins of review would definitely enable me to get an 10/10 for sure.
