Recent rumors...

Recently there have been rumors circulating that there is a weapon in the school. These rumors, along with countless others of the same theme, have all been traced back to their source and are unfounded. There were rumors that there would be an act of violence at Friday Februrary 5ths Pep fest during seventh hour so for the safety of everyone Principal Sakala postponed the PepFest. Nothing happened on Friday. The IGHPD have been asked to increase their presence in the halls of Simley High. They are always walking around. They have taken these measures to keep students safe and it has worked. Personally, I like having the cops around. I don't know why but it's nice.

Simley High's 1st annual Talent Show

Yes, you read right. My school is having it's first Talent show. I can't say if its annual or not, since I don't know for sure yet. Alot of people have signed up. Including me. I will be playing Connie Talbot's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on my guitar. No singing included. I don't sing in public (Or in private for that matter.) I am getting pretty good at it. I just need to work on timing a little more. The show isn't until March 19th at 6:00 pm so I have a few weeks if that.

As you all probably know, I am taking guitar lessons with my old history teacher, Mr. Olson. I am learning Blues shuffles with just the different strings and frets, and with chords. I am also learning to solo with the blues. It is really fun actually.
