Third Concert.
We sounded awesome, except I messed up sometimes. :P I almost fell. Twice. My dress is too long, so I almost tripped over it.
We were in the middle of playing this really slow song, when all of a sudden this tapping noise is coming from upstairs, and totally throws us off. Or at least it threw me off, I'm not sure about everyone else. So we had to stop the song. :D Yep, it was pretty funny. :)
Tomorrow is going to be a half day, and it's the last day before our break! So I have my two favorite classes tomorrow, first and second periods. We're probably not going to do anything at all all day. Then I'm going to the movies with some friends. That's basically it.
Oh, and remember when I said that I totally freak out when someone touches the back of my neck? Well, you know who can (sorry for the lack of specifics. I know some of my friends read this, can't let them find out who I'm talking about (;). It's a long story, but I found out today that he can. I think it's from trust. I trust him, so he can. My one friend does it to me all the time because she sits behind me, so she can, and I jump so badly. It's really bad. But he can, and that's all that matters. :)
Peace.

Second Concert
It was sooo much fun! It wasn't really that cold, even though it was like 26°. :) When we played for the old people it looked like they really enjoyed it. Some were singing to some of the Christmas carols we played. When we were about to play A Charlie Brown Christmas, though, my chin rest, of course, falls off, and one of the little arm things falls off with it. So I had to put down my instrument and screw the thing back in while, must I remind you, everyone else was playing! I entered through the middle of the first part, but still, we were standing, which made it all that much harder. :P
Then for our second concert, which I just got back from, was so much fun also! :) I got to see some of my old friends from the middle school I went to last year. The beginner group sounded so cute! It was awesome. :D Nothing bad happened. Oh, I almost tripped up the stairs because my dress is so long, but I didn't actually trip, so it's all good. :)
Our last concert before Christmas break is on Thursday, which will be at our high school. I can't wait! :)
World geography was fun. This one guy and I got into this huge discussion about how we both don't like people, and we were basically just talking. We worked in groups, so him, me, and another guy worked together. He wants to be a dictator ha. :) He has the best eye contact, ever! I wrote about him in one of my posts, y'all probably know who I'm talking about, hopefully. :) <3
Oh, and he kept staring at me throughout the concert. Wonder what that was all about. (;
Peace.

First Concert
The concert at the retirement home went great! It was fun to walk outside with everyone complaining about how cold it was! I for one did no think it was that cold :)

Of All Weeks To Get Sick!!
Of all weeks to get sick! I have to go to school, nonetheless actually want to! I have 3 concerts, & I have to go to! This is not good! We're also reviewing for exams in french, and practicing the speaking part. :( I'll be able to play, it's not like I'm throwing up or anything, I just feel like crap right now.
Blech.
I can't wait for Christmas. All I'm really asking for is a laptop (because my computer is retarded) and a few CDs. That's really all I can think of asking for. Oh, & speakers for my iPod. Yeah, that's it.
I think I'm going to go to sleep now. I'm starting to get a headache.
Peace.

Rien n'est Parfait.
"There are no stupid questions, just stupid people." ~unknown
I am having serious writer's block. I don't know what to write about anymore. Nothing interesting is going on, & I have no thoughts to write about. This is horrible!
Friday was really boring. Our other teacher for world geo (yes, I have two teachers) was our substitute. He was getting graded, so he threatened us on Thursday (ha) to make sure we behaved. I think he tried too hard, or at least that's what it looked like to me. He's usually so mean, but yesterday he was okay, not really, but he was nicer. He even let us talk for a bit! He never ever never lets us do that when it's just us and him. It was very surprising.
Orchestra went very well. I hope we don't screw up any of our concerts. We sounded good yesterday, so hopefully not.
I have to find a long black-sleeved shirt, or a white-sleeved one to wear for our concert at the retirement home. I don't have one, & and my mom is shorter than me, so that probably won't work either. We have these really long shirts that we have to wear (I'm so short mine is probably longer than everyone else's :) so I have to tie mine in the back. & they're short-sleeved, & it's suppose to be cold & rainy on Tuesday. Blech.
I'm sick too. I almost lost my voice yesterday 'cause I have a bad sore throat, & today I can't breathe out of my noise. Ugh. Of all weeks to get sick! :(
Oh, & "Rien n'est parfait" means "Nothing is perfect" in French by the way :)
Peace.

100th Post!
So, my last post was my 100th post, but I didn't realize it. Oops. :) So I guess Happy Belated 100th Post! Woot.
You Look Like a Cancer
It's likely you have a bit of a baby face. People think you're younger than you are.
You have prominent cheeks and a very expressive jaw. You usually have a big smile.
Your feet and hands tend to be a bit small compared to the rest of you.
Not that the rest of you is all that big. You're probably a bit shorter than average.
Like most Cancer people, you are probably incredibly compassionate and kind. You have a big heart.
You are also shrewd, intuitive, and wise. No one's going to take advantage of you.
Next week I'll have a lot of stuff to blog about: 3 concerts. Blech. Not that I don't enjoy playing. They're fun. But, I don't know.
That's it. :P
Peace.

The Orchestra Concert ♪
So I just got back from the orchestra concert. Everything went really well. No one tripped up or down the stairs to the stage, which surprised me *Taylor* and we didn't crash and burn ha =) and luckily the fire alarm didn't go off, which happened to a group in my old school a few years ago. So yeah it was boring. I mean, c'mon, you need SOME chaos. You'd know what I mean if you've ever read The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen. Amazing book. Seriously, you have to read it.
But anyway, it was kinda boring. But no offense to the 3rd period orchestra who did an absolutely AMAZING job. They sounded AWESOME. No kidding. They seriously did. They sounded a lot better than we did, and we were awesome too. I thought we could've done better with intonation, which was kinda partly but not really my fault =)
So now tomorrow we have to start practicing for UIL, which Ill explain what it is when we get closer to it. That's gonna be fun. Haha not, really, but still, we get to miss school, which is always a plus. And I guess it is kinda fun, because other than the time we spend auditioning we get to hang out with our friends on the bus. If only we could wear t-shirts and jeans instead of those ugly dresses.....

The Results...
Ok, so unfortunately, I didn't make the district orchestra =P but I'm okay with it. I totally don't mind at all. I'm suprisingly not dissappointed. I think my parents were A LOT more disappointed than I was haha =) It's just one less thing to worry about and practice...
Oh yeah and tomorrow we have our first orchestra conecert! =P It's going to be a lot of fun, and I think we sound REALLY good, especially from our playing level from last year. I am SO excited and can't wait! =D Unfortunately we have to wear REALLY ugly uniforms though. And I extremely emphasize 'really' and 'ugly'. But that's the only really bad part. =)
