Basketball Club Video!

I have delayed the basketball videos for a while now, so today I decided to finish my duties. This video is from January session, and I know it's April now.
 This week I will probably make few of those videos, but they take around 2~3 hours each and in addition of 1 to 2 hours to upload.
 From video editing I learned new skills such as cutting existing raw material into a watchable pseudo film. However, I need to organised my time better in order to be more efficient and leave time for other activities. For example, I could do other activities while uploading the video.
 Overall, it has been interesting experience and I feel that those video editing skills will be very useful in future: both academic and casual sense.

Piano progress

Just few moments ago I have finished my piano session of about 1 hour long. In this session I have finally finished the piece "Kiss the Rain" with little help from the music sheet.
 Personally I feel like this was a very successful session due to fact that I have spend a good mount of time practicing specific section of the piece which I struggled with before. This is a good indication of my weaknesses in piano and the way I have improved upon them hence achieving one of the CAS outcomes.
 Truth to be told, I really struggled last few sessions because of lack of practice which forced me to spend more time on relearning old section. This was an inefficient use of time which made me rethink the piano practicing schedule. I have decided to spent around 20-30 minutes per day to play the whole piece twice in order to have a better memory of the song for both my brain and my hand muscles.
 Overall,this session was one of the better sessions I had for long time and I have learned much about myself which made me reconsider about the deadline. If I feel it is not ready I will probably postpone the date to a week or 2 later.
 In conclusion, working towards a goal is really what I need right now. Setting a goal and constantly doing activities to reach it, in my opinion, is the best way to improve my lazy self.

B-B-B_Beatbox

For last months or so I have been attending beat box club created by David- one of my classmate on IB course. The club is basically him teaching us how to do basic beat box and how to create rhythm. So far it has been an interesting experience.
 I forgot to put this in my CAS plan but now it is a good time to announce that I will be attending this every Friday if circumstances don't change.

 As for any CAS activity, beat box club has been very entertaining but at same time very educational, at least for me. Beat box was something I have never tried before which makes it a new challenge for myself. Plus I always wanted to learn beat box due to the fact that it is such as unique skill to have which is a tool to shape who you are.
 I have only missed one lesson so far due to school work but overall I have been attending regularly and practicing frequently at home whenever possible. Fun fact: bathroom and toilets are surprisingly good places to practice due to the small space creating echoes. I guess any empty spaces will do as well. This can shows my commitment so far to the subject.
 As the strengths and weaknesses go, I have not mastered any basic beats yet but I can do them at a reasonable level. Like anything skill based, practice is everything. With our it you can't achieve anything. As they say, practice makes it perfect.
 For next month I would like to learn more sounds and how to make them. In addition maybe some new rhythms to widen my beat box knowledge. All in all. keep calm and b-b-b-beat box!
