Day 25: Country

Hi guys!

                How are y’all doin’? I’m pretty ok. I retook my Spanish class work thing today and I think I did really well on it. My teacher hasn't graded it yet so I still have to wait on that portion of my master plan to getting ungrounded. So tomorrow should be a big day of nerves about waiting for that. I got a test back in Physics that I did really, really well on. I got a 95% bizitches!!There were only 3 people in the entire class who did better than me and they got a 97%, 98%, and a 99% so I'm not that far away from the top.

                But any who, here are my stats for today.

·         General Mood?: 5-ish

·         Behavior?: 6 or 7

·         Genre Listened To?: country

·         Wants?: to get a B in Spanish

Thank you for reading and please comment with any, comments, questions, concerns, or general randomness you want to throw my way.

Bye guys!

Day 24: Country

Hi guys!

                My day today was pretty ok. I’m still grounded because I got a C in Spanish. Saddness. But my mom told me that when I bring that up to a B I can get ungrounded. Yahootie!! All I have to do is go in tomorrow after school, retake a little class work thing, get my teacher to put in the new grade, get a printout of it and BLAM I’m ungrounded. And to sweeten the pot, my mom said that once I get the grade up, I can buy some hair bleach and dye and do the tips of my hair! I’ve done them before but my hair was longer and I dyed it neon green. It looked really good until the green started to fade and it turned yellow. This time I’m thinking of dying it purple. Like this...

So with all things considered, here are my stats.

·         General Mood?: 6 or 7

·         Behavior?: 6

·         Genre Listened To?: country

·         Wants?: to get a B in Spanish (still)

Thank you for reading and please comment with any, comments, questions, concerns, or general randomness you want to throw my way.

Bye guys!

Day 22: Country

Hi guys!

                So my past couple of days has been pretty ok-ish. On Saturday, I got to hang out with my friend Mikey for a little bit. He’s really awesome. Progress reports came out today, at least they were supposed to. I got my Civics & Economics one and it is currently an 84.578% which gets rounded up to an 85% and that, my dear, dear readers, IS A FREAKING B!!!! *has a party* I haven’t received any of my other ones yet so fingers crossed guys! 

                So here are my stats for the past. . . I have no idea how long but whatever.

·         General Mood?: 5 or 6

·         Behavior?: 6 or 7

·         Genre Listened To?: country

·         Wants?: to do well in my other classes and get ungrounded!!!!

Thank you for reading and please comment with any, comments, questions, concerns, or general randomness you want to throw my way.

Bye guys!

Day 18: Country

Hi guys!

                How y’all be doin’? My past two days has been pretty sucky. Let me start here first: I was grounded 3 months ago because I got 2 Cs on my progress report. My grades continually got worse to the point where I was failing 3 classes and had a C in another all at once. Then I got my report card a few weeks ago and I got one of the failing grades up to a B and the other three were Cs. Well I finished one of the classes, Chemistry to be specific, with a C (and I struggled for it!!!!) but because I finished it, it doesn't factor into my grounding anymore. I now have a B in English, a B in Civics and Economics, and a C in Spanish 3. I could possibly get ungrounded next Monday or Tuesday because progress reports come out again but I might not be able to because I have that C in Spanish 3. Grrrr! *flips table*

                But anyway, here are the stats for today.

·         General Mood?: 3 or 4

·         Behavior?: about a 5 or 6

·         Genre Listened To?: country

·         Wants?: to get a B or better in Spanish!!

Thank you for reading and please comment with any, comments, questions, concerns, or general randomness you want to throw my way.

Bye guys!

Day 16: Country

Hi guys!

                How have all of your weeks been? My week’s been pretty ok, I guess. I started my two weeks of country! Yee-haw! My older sister, Brenna, is putting some good, old country on my MP3 so I don’t have to listen to the newer country-crossover/ pop-y stuff.

But anyways, Sunday, Monday, and today have been kind of ish days.  It snowed on Saturday and my little sister, Robin, and I decided to take a walk down to Starbucks. Best. Decision. Ever! I brought my camera with me, just because I never leave home without it, and I got some really awesome shots of Robbie and the scenery. I’ll probably post them in another entry but right now I have something important to do.

·         General Mood?: 4 or 5

·         Behavior?: 7

·         Positive Levels?: 4

·         Genre Listened to?: country

·         Wants?: sleep

Day 11: Rock

Hi guys!

                Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

                Today was one of the best days I've had in a long time. Earlier I was kind of bummed because I saw all these people at school with balloons, bears and chocolates from their special someone and I didn't get anything because I don’t go to school with my boyfriend  and I’m grounded. But then after school, Taylor’s at my house with a little stuffed dog, chocolates, and a card and I nearly burst into tears. It was the sweetest thing ever. Our 4 month was last Friday and I didn't get to talk to him then so today was really awesome. I miss that boy. :/

                Any who, I've decided to change what I’m recording my mood and stuff with so I can easily compile all my data later. All of it will be on a scale from 1 to 10, (other than what obviously can't be) one being the worst (sorry 1 :( ) and 10 being the best. I’ll go back and edit my old posts so they fit the new scale but I just wanted to tell y’all first. So, yeah. Here’s today’s data in the new format.

·         General Mood?: about an 8

·         Behavior?: 6

·         Positive Levels?: 8

·         Genre listened to?: rock

·         Wants?: chocolate!! :)

Now for the ending spiel. Thank you for reading and please comment with any well, comments, questions, concerns, or general randomness you want to throw my way. Happy Valentine’s Day! (again)

Bye guys!

Day 8: Rock (I'm so sorry!!)

Hi guys!

 I’m so sorry I haven’t posted in a few days. I’ve been overwhelmed with school stuff and home stuff so I’ve decided that if this trend continues, I will limit my posts to 3 a week and make my test periods to 2 weeks. I know it sucks but deal with it.

                So any who, this will be my first post for the week. I’ve been kind of stressed because last Thursday, some idgit brought a gun to school. Fun fact, he rode the bus I was on that morning! Don’t worry, he was arrested and all is some-what well again but it still freaked me out. Also, I have been working so fracking hard on my school stuff so I can get ungrounded on Feb. 25^th or 26^th when progress reports come out so fingers crossed guys! Umm, what else? *drums fingers on chin* I got new and better headphones so I could listen to my music without having to hold the plug in the jack a certain way, position my mouth just right, and pray that they don’t cut out. And, as a bonus, they look like gummy bears! They were like $4 at Rugged Warehouse so go check them out! (They're black and smell like fruit.)

            Also, I rediscovered 2 bands that are so amazing. They’re We Are The In Crowd and All Time Low. I personally count them as rock so I can listen to them during this week. *does happy dance*

                But ok! Here is my report for today!

·         General Mood?: 5 or 6

·         Behavior?: 5

·         Positive Levels?: 5-ish

·         Genre Listened To?: rock

·         Wants?: not to have to do this project

Thanks for reading and please comment with any questions, comments, concerns, of general randomness you want to throw my way. But if you really want to comment with something that would be helpful, comment below with what genre you think I should listen to next. Again, thanks for all you guys do. 

Bye guys!

Day 2: Rock

Hi guys!

                Rock week continues! Today I listened to a mixture of Black Veil Brides, Bruno Mars, Redlight King, Daughtry, Foo Fighters, and a whole bunch of other stuff. To be honest, I don’t really see how Bruno Mars is rock. I thought his music was more pop-ish but what do I know? If that’s what iTunes says it is, that’s what it is. I mean, when has the internet ever been wrong? You know what I came up with yesterday right after I sent my post? I should probably say what’s going on in my life because that has an effect on my mood and emotions and stuff too.

So where should I begin? Umm… *drums fingers on chin* Today is my boyfriend’s birthday *throws small party* but I don’t get to see him. LI’m grounded and  I haven’t seen him in, wow, getting close to three months now. Dang. But it’s cool, I still got him something. I got him a Diablo 3 t-shirt but I think it might be just a tad too big. Oh well, it’ll get to him one way or another. What else? I might get to quit IB after this year! I want to so badly because I think it’s just too much for me to handle.

But any who, let’s get down to business! (To defeat the Huns! Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?!)

… I have no regrets!

·         General Mood?: 4 or 3

·         Behavior?: 4

·         Positive Levels?: -2

·         Genre Listened To?: rock

·         Wants?: see my bf, but we all know that’s not going to happen

Thanks for reading and please comment below with any comments, concerns, questions, or randomness you want to throw my way! Bye guys! *waves with both hands*

Day 1: Rock

Hi guys!

Today I started my test with rock music. To be honest, I don't feel all that different. It might just be because it's my first day with it, but still. I would have to say that this is one of my top two favorite genres of music. Well, it’s this and metal but any who.  So yeah, not really feeling all that different from yesterday. Soap, let’s do today’s recordings, shall we?

·        General Mood?: 1

·        Behavior?: 5

·        Genre Listened To?: rock

·        Wants?: kind of want Skittles, ooh like the new green apple ones!!

So this is how I’m feeling today. Thanks for reading and please comment below with any comments, suggestions, questions, or any other randomness you would like to throw my way! Bye guys!! :)

Introduction

Hi guys!

My name's Melisa and this is my first post and I thought that I would maybe explain the purpose of this whole . . . thing. I'm in my final year of the IBMYP program and I have to do what's called a Personal Project. It's sort of like doing my senior exit project my sophomore year, which is a real pain let me tell you. My topic is music therapy and I came up with the most ingenious idea of testing the affects that music can have on a person's emotions and whatnot on me. Cool, right? So any who, I have to document what changes certain genres of music have on my everyday life.

As to get an accurate reading of my normal behavior and mental state, I haven't listened to any music today (with the exception of music playing over the loud speakers in stores, I have no control over that.) 

·         General Mood?: 5

·         Behavior?: 5

·         Positive Levels?: 7 or 8

·         Genre Listened To?: n/a

·         Cravings?: I want to sleep, like, right now

So . . . yeah. Thanks for reading! Please comment below and tell me what kind of music you listen to and how you think it affects you. This would help me out immensely. 
Bye guys!
