One day, i was walking around in downtown Libertyville with Ben. I received a phone call to my cell phone from Gabby Prodans. She told me that she knew where I was and i was like, "HUH?" and she said to turn around. Turns out, she and Lucy Bullock were actually right across the street by Starbuck's. We walked over to them and we went into Starbucks. We sat down to enjoy our drinks and Ben and I had hot chocolates, Lucy had a Signature hot chocolate, and Gabby had a frapaccino (yes she is a little.... @_@) Ben decided to drink this hot chocolate with a straw and I told him that it was a bad idea. He wouldn't believe me and he decided to proceed. Well, Lucy was influenced by Ben and decided to drink her Signature hot chocolate with a straw too. I told Ben to go call his parents so he went over to the corner and used my phone to call his mom. As he was calling, Lucy was talking about something and she moved her arm, and her hot chocolate went all over her, Ben's jacket, and the floor. Thanks to Ben's bad influence, and my life saving phone call, Lucy spilled her hot chocolate. She did get a free replacement but her sweatshirt was all dirty and so was Ben's jacket. Two weeks later, Gabby calls me again to tell me that she had just spilled her hot chocolate all over herself because she was using a straw.

The lesson of the story is, DON'T DRINK HOT CHOCOLATE OUT OF A STRAW!!!!!!!

 Symphony 

Movement one media type="file" key="Symphony composition movement uno katie yan.mp3" My first movement goes with my overall unifying theme because i incorporated two pop songs together. it was kind of calm-ish. for this movement, i took the two songs and then i added in some of my own chords to go in with them

movement two media type="file" key="Katie Yan Movement two.mp3" movement two fits in with my unifying theme because i incorporated two songs into one with my own chords in it. i mixed them together with some of my chords and some chords that i took from other songs to give a calm song a mysterious twist.

Movement three media type="file" key="Katie Yan movement 3.mp3" my third movement starts out sort of like my first movement. Then i switched it up and made it sound kind of tropically with low voices. i made most of it quick because those were the requirements for the third movement.

The unifying theme for my symphony will be calm-ish and relaxing-ish... i will do this by incorporating not-so-intense pop songs into my symphony with some of my own improvisations to make it flow better. i will mix these pop songs together and make an interesting twist. some of my symphony will be more intense?
