20 Time Update

Today, I decided for sure that the song I will play all the way through is House of Gold. I will still need to work on this song some to be able to play it as well as I want to, so that will be my main goal for the near future. I will do this by making it the song that I play the most whenever I play at home in the evening. House of gold does have a fairly simple chord structure, so I might try to add some things to make it my own when I play it.

20 Time

As I am very behind in my blog posts and I have been doing basically the same thing this entire time, I decided to put all of my posts into one post instead of posting the same thing 5 separate times. For the last few weeks I have been working on the script for the voice over in my film. I not actually very far because I have had writer's block for a lot of things recently. So far I have 94 words. It isn't much but it certainly a start.

20 Time Update

Seeing as how we will now not be presenting in front of the whole class now, I am going to tune down my presentation from an entire medley to simply playing one song all the way through. The song that I play all the way through will most likely be House of Gold, as I am decent at this song, and I do have the whole thing memorised. Potentially, I may do The Judge instead, but house of Gold is most likely what I will play.

Mindfulness Meditation Exploration - W8

Through this two month long experiment, we learned all about mindfulness and meditation. We started by studying the benefits of this practice, then researched the best ways to meditate. After 5 weeks of research, we began our mindful meditation. I meditated in the early morning, and Lauren meditated right before she went to bed. I saw that I became more awake and alert, while Lauren’s sleep pattern improved greatly. We reflected on our experience, and would like to continue to practice mindfulness and meditation. Before this project started, we didn’t have a clue about what mindfulness meditation is, but now, we feel like it has positively impacted our lives and hope to share our experiences with other peers who struggle with getting enough sleep and staying awake and alert during the day.

Mindfulness Meditation Exploration - W7

Today we reflected on the positive experiences we had while meditating. We considered the benefits we received such as being more relaxed, less stressed, and having more energy. Overall we will use this information to help us communicate more effectively with our peers. It will also give us ethos when it comes to giving those around us advice about mindfulness meditation.

20 Time Update

This week, I learned a new song from the main tutorial page I watch on YouTube, which was very nice, because this happened to be the other main song I wanted to learn. The song is Screen and this is the video: https://goo.gl/twq89w With this, I shoud have plenty of songs learned in order to get the final version of my medley down. I still haven’t decided what the theme of my medley will be, given that it even has a theme. However, if I do decide to have a theme, I am quite certain I will stick with my previous idea of a Vessel medley. In other, less relevant, but still relevant news, on Monday, I received my floral kimono, similar to that of the one that Tyler Joseph wears sometimes on stage, and I will be wearing this for my final performance.

20 Time Update

This week, I worked on one of the main songs I’ve been wanting to, which is a good step in the right direction. The song that I worked on is Holding On To You. Currently, I am trying to decide if I want to have a theme for my medley, or if I just want to put together songs that sound good. If my medley is to have a theme, it will probably be songs from a certain album. This would most likely be Vessel, as I know the most songs from this album.
