My goal for this year is to make the SAISA basketball team. i keep playing on Saturdays with other students and people from other teams and my skill are improving hopefully to later on use them on the SAISA team.
SAISA practice/try outs will Begin next week and will go for 4 times a week until the 2nd December to then travel on the 3rd to Chennai. There are about 15 people trying out so far so 5 will have to get cut out.
the only thing that is keeping me from making the team is the decision of my parents which will be based by how my grades are doing so far. hopefully they will be good enough to let me travel

Alzheimers foundation
The first day of my CAS (Alzheimer's)we were handed the raffle tickets to distribute, we were given about 3 booklets of 10 tickets each. I was able to sell only one booklet because people were always making excuses not to buy them.
we were briefed of the projects that we would do over the term that we attend this CAS. The Alzheimer's walk was last weekend but unfortunately I was not able to attend dew to theatre arts practice. We didn't have any other meetings but we have planned another one on Thursday.

Making a Band
Adrien, Young-jun, Camille and I came together to form a band. this is a temporary band for a UN day performance and for the Christmas assembly to set the school off to a good holiday! Adrien is the guitarist, young-jun is the bassist, Camille is the singer and im the drummer and hopefully together we are able to rock our brains out.
for UN day we will perform only one song but this song will be sung by many different people in many different languages. the song is wavin' flag by K'naan which is a song about flags and representing your country so people will represent by singing a small verse in their own language. Adrien, Young-jun and I will be responsible for the instrumentals of the song.
for the Christmas assembly We have come up with 4 different songs. the reason why we chose such a far date to perform is because being in grade 12 is very hard to find time to practice so to make it more flexible we are picking our rehearsals date at random when ever we have a free day after school. the songs we are planning to play are: the great escape by Boys like Girls, Scar tissue by Red Hot Chili peppers, Sitting waiting wishing by Jack Johnson and a Rock version of umbrella by Rhianna. the list of songs might change if we find that either its too hard or not suitable for the singer.
my goal for this is to be able to memorize all the songs on the drums and play them clear so that it doesn't only sound like noise to the audience. i will try my pest to push my skill and learn 4 songs in contemporary.

My new Community Service - Alzheimers Foundation
Since my planned CAS which was the tie dying and then selling the shirts to raise money for a foreign issue will start in November i decided to join something else in the mean time.
I decided to join Alzheimer's Foundation service. In this service we will raise money to support the founding of a hospital that is being built. This seems like A good service to join because it is manageable for this year and still very helpful.
The first project we are doing is a walk down galle road with banners and other things for this project so that we raise money. my duty as a member of this service is to help sell raffle tickets for the raffle that will take place in the walk. I will be helped my a friend of mine and hopefully we will be able to sell a lot and get many people involved.
my goal for this service is to have a successful part in the service and to make my presence is valuable and helpful.
