Ganyi Has an Accent Now!

I've been figuring out exactly what a Ganyi-speaking person sounds like if they were to speak English. I found some speech therapy diagnostic passages online, that contain all, or at least nearly all, of the phonemes in English. I wrote it out anew, making notes of the sounds and emphasis. I'd use phonetic markings, but I don't know them, so... anyway, it unexpectedly turned out to sound most Jamaican, with a few differences, but mostly Jamaican. Kinda cool.

May is going to be extremely busy. Tomorrow is that LARP thing, which takes all day, and I'll be missing a cousin's graduation for that... not a big deal, it's just that I'm taking a few friends and I already paid for it and all, so I didn't want to skip it. And I'm missing a practice for next Saturday, where I'm supposed to play piano in a band made up of my brothers and a few friends for one of those friends' mother's wedding reception. Yikes stripes.

I've had to self-dictate my piano practice for my senior recital lately, since it looks like I might not get any piano lessons at all this month. Speaking of, I need to get some practice done today... 31 good practicing days and I think 9 songs to whip into shape. Yikes stripes. At least I'm nearly done with school. Today is my last day of science, and then there's just a little reading that needs to be finished up, and I'm done. The reading may or may not get completely finished, I dunno. Hard to say.

Onward and upward!
