It is the final week!! Honestly, it sneaked up on me a lot quicker than I thought it would. But surprisingly, I’m not worried or stressed. I’ve done a lot of work in the past week in terms of learning new songs and working on previous songs. Another one of my favorite artists is called ‘Daughter’ and they make indie folk music. One of their albums is music from Life Is Strange: Before The Storm (which is one of my favorite games ever) and I’ve started learning some songs from there. Most of them are instrumental, but some have some lyrical aspects to them.
Other than that, I’ve continued to work on some Nirvana songs, some Billie Eilish songs, and some other songs. I’ve also completed my slideshow for my final presentation! I think it looks pretty good and I’m hoping it is going to go very well. Also! One of the songs I’ve learned is ‘wish you were gay’ by Billie Eilish. I’ve got the whole song memorized on guitar. Next to that, Hannah (my girlfriend <3) can play guitar, saxophone, and trumpet. So, she has decided to help me with my project! She has started learning that song on trumpet so we can duet it together! We’ve been practicing and messing around with it in FLEX time over the past couple of days. But, if anything, we will record it and I’ll add it into my final presentation and then perform my song(s). And that is pretty much all I have got to report on for week 12! Over winter break, I’m going to keep working on guitar and practice my presentation MANY times. Hopefully my final presentation goes as well as I hope! :)

Over the past week, my main focus has been my final presentation. I am pretty much done with my slideshow. The only things left to do now are to make sure it’s perfect, practice my presentation and what I’m gonna say, make flashcards to remember key points, decide what songs I’m gonna perform, and to just keep practicing as much as I can.I think my final presentation is going to go pretty well, but I’m just scared my anxiety is going to take control and I will get very nervous. But, I am going to do everything I can to remind myself that it’s going to go just fine and that there is nothing to stress over. I’m proud of myself and how far I have come in my guitar learning journey and that is all that matters.
For the last 2 or 3 weeks before this week, my mental health took quite a dip and therefore I didn’t have much time or energy to focus on guitar. But, I am gonna try and make up for that lost time over this week, next week, and over winter break (as much as I can). I’m gonna try and keep learning some of the songs I have already started on but I am also gonna look into some other songs I might be interested in learning. But, I’m learning that most songs are a lot more difficult than I think they are. And I like a challenge, but it can become quite overwhelming if I am being quite honest. Also, since this is week 11/12, are there any final song recommendations from anyone? I will try my best to get around to them and if I do manage to learn them, I’ll be sure to give credits to whoever made the suggestion! :) |
