Grade Eight

The way I plan to make grade eight memorable is by doing something different and to improve my grades.  I would like to get my grades up to an A/B average in all my classes. I plan to make this happen by trying harder in all my classes and to not slack off as much.  I also hope to to play some new sports in PE.  I think it would be cool to try new sports.  I also hope to keep a decent relationship with my teachers.  I'll accomplish that by not being a nuissance.  The way I plan to make the last 11 weeks stand out is by doing something to make me stand out.  I don't know how I'll accomplish that, but I'll figure out something soon.  And that is how I plan to make grade eight, and my last 11 weeks memorable.

   When I chose my song for my poetry anthology, I checked for depth in the lyrics to make sure they were "good" lyrics. The song I am doing for my poetry anthology is "Bat Country" by Avenged Sevenfold, its about having a good time, and a messed up trip to Vegas.  My top five favourite songs right now are; Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country, Second Heartbeat, Afterlife, and Critical Acclaim.  Some of these songs have a some meaning, but some of the others don't.  I like these songs because of the melody and heaviness.  What I look for in a song is if it has a good melody, good rhythm, and complexity to the song, which is hard to find in a song in recent years.  Personally, I love metal music, bands like Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Black Sabbath, and Bullet for my Valentine.  Metal music is not as popular as it was in the '80's, mostly because the music industry is dominated by electronic music and pop music, so the music I like doesn't get as much publicity as it should, even though they are good songs.  I find other genres of music good too.  I also think jazz is good too because how intricate the music is and how 14 or 15 musicians stay in harmony.  I like classical as well because it is very complex. Those are just a couple of genres I think are good, I enjoy almost every genre, and I think they're good in individual ways.
