Orchestra practice records...

Now it will be a random integer picking assignment.
Note to self: Remember to change the stuff each week accordingly. It is somewhat annoying that they are actually using pdf's now...
Edit: In the future I will try to remember that it's difficult to practice on a day before the day or a viable practice time on a day is available...
Also, for all the copying, it is convenient to paste all the random.org stuff onto notepad separated by days for the second section and then copy it onto word.
Part 1: With this, pick the first two days (to have lots of homework) from the random ordering of this list.
Part 2: Write down
minutes for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and
for the other two days (or whatever).
Part 3: With this, write these in the order they appear for the five days from the random ordering of this list.
For each day of practice:
Part 4: With this, write down the first four things from the random ordering of this list.
(Adjust as necessary...)
Part 5: After this, write down "I improved..." or something else.
Part 6: With this, write down the first three things from the random ordering of this list.
Part 7: Then write "I am having trouble with..." or something else.
Part 8: Now write the next thing on the list from Part 6.
It is probably easier to bs, but sometimes it is hard to be creative in which case this helps (it turns a creative writing assignment into a copy and paste assignment. Yay!)
