Drums

Since last time I have just been practicing since I have not had a lot of time to learn new material due to  coursework and IAs but as soon as I have free time I will start to learn more fills and grooves. Double stroke rolls and stuff like that.

Galaxies and Stars

Since last time I know that these interferences are caused by the intense high frequency EM radiations projected by the galaxies of massive stars. Since last time I have found wonderfully nice spiral galaxies and since then I have also learned about them in my Astrophysics course and the definition is that: the are spiral... Very creative. but they are very nice and I will persevere and continue this task of classification.

Weightlifting and running

Every week, two or three times, depends on how much time I have on my hands I do weightlifting and running at home and around my street. It is very refreshing and it makes me feel fit and I work towards jogging faster and then slower and then faster again but for longer period of time. If the time gets too much I just run faster. I will post on the blog to tell what kind of major improvements I have made and what my plans are for the future. For example, until next time I set a target of 30 minutes of heavy weights. I'll see what I am able to do and post later.

Beats and Grooves

Since last time, I have been practicing my drumming skills a lot because of the frequency of the holidays. I managed to learn a few grooves with ghost notes and I find it quite fun to incorporate them sometimes in my drumming. Furthermore I have been practicing to learn a few songs such as Summer of '69 from Bryan Adams and Thunderstruck by ACDC. For the next time I will keep practicing these and also keep improving my fills maybe with some 16th notes fills or 8th notes ones. 

Galaxy Zoo Continued

Since last time I have researched and classified many stars and galaxies though some I found very interesting. They were interesting because the electromagnetic rays the cameras detect in the Hubble telescope had some sort of interference and on the screen it showed up as a strange pattern. Until next time I will be researching how galaxies and stars can do that. However, I have been looking at other peoples' discussion and I found this very interesting galaxy being discussed:

It is really interesting.

My Tabloid Newspaper

Not so long ago, we had to design a tabloid newspaper for my English class. I decided it to be similr to The Sun, which is a newspaper that is already famous and successful in the UK. It was quite easy to find a suitable template and then to find the name of the newspaper which I chose to be The Star. However getting relevant stories was much harder than I expected. I started to look in similar magazines and after some time I have found some quite interesting stories. I re-wrote them in my way and pasted them around the front page. I made a quite interesting mast head. Here is some of it, if you want to see more, you need to subscribe (I just couldn't take a picture of the full one).
