This is a new song we are all learning in school ^__^ The lyrics are below while the song itself is available on this video.
Yuukaye Koyake
Yuuyake koyake de hi ga kure te
yama no otera no kane ga naru

Study Tips for our SA2s
Brushing Up on Your Study Skills
Study Tips - Roll Call
You are never going to do well on your exams if you never show up for class. Be sure to attend school as often as possible. And, take advantage of any tutorials or extra help your teachers offer. When you're struggling with a subject, any extra help you can get can make a a
Study Tips - Keep a Routine
Set aside a specific time to do your homework and studying every day. Whether that's right after school or after supper, a set schedule can often help you focus a lot easier. Don't try to fit your homework around socializing with friends. Homework should be a priority.
Study Tips - Shhhh!
If you can't find a quiet place to focus on your homework at your house, why not head to the library? Be sure you have as little distraction as possible when studying. Avoid watching TV, talking on the phone or playing music that makes you want to dance around the living room while doing homework.
Study Tips - Be Inquisitive
If you find that having a friend study for a test with you helps the most, why not make flash cards or make mini quizzes for one another to answer. The key is to make use of your study time and not turn the get-together into a video game marrathon or gossip session.
Study Tips - Write it Down
Keep all your notes from your classes and read them over, as well as your textbooks. Make note of things your teacher has said might be on your test so you can be sure to review it. If you're just reading straight from a textbook or novel for class, try reading aloud. Hearing yourself say it while you read often helps you to retain more of what you've read.
Study Tips - Ask For Help
If you are still struggling with forming good study habits, don't be afraid to talk to your teachers. Many schools have homework help available to you during lunch or after school. Your teachers may also be able to suggest tutors that you could work with.posted - 11:44 AM

Speed Painting!
Done on a computer program called Photoshop 7, using a tablet (a mouse in the shape of a pen). He took 5hr to complete this whole painting. The video has been fast-forwarded so you can see how the picture develops.
According to the artist Nico di Mattia on his website, "A speed painting is an experience that includes the fusion of many areas: the drawing, the painting, the cinema, the music, and the digital technologies. Its principal objetive is to try to entertain the spectator, taking him to an original world, where he could enjoy the genesis and the process of creation of an artistic piece."
Lesson to be learnt: Never give up on growing your talent! One day you may draw even better than this! ^__^
