I started back today. It was pretty lame. The air conditioner was broken, so classes were very hot. I forgot my lunch. And I still havn't eaten since I went to work right after school.
However, I only have to endure through two more school days this week before I head over to Tampa for all-state chorus! I'm so excited about this, not only because I get to miss school but also I will be in a choir with the top high school singers in the state! It's a pretty big deal, so I'm really looking forward to it.
So now I don't feel like a bum anymore!
I'm working in a doctors office. I start on Monday!
It just feels good to know that I will be earning money, which I will need to spend in college. I tried asking him about how much money he spends a week, but he didn't give me any kind of answer except "I don't know, it varries." So I have no idea how much I need to save up, or what I'm getting myself into at all for that matter.
Our Christmas tree is up, stockings neatly dangling above the bar, and he thinks we should celebrate Hanukah instead. After all, it is the holiday Jesus observed (although it wasn't called Hanukah, but the feast of dedication).
I had my last ever showcase concerts this week, thursday and friday. It's basically a concert where different auditioned musical acts can perform. It's all band kids, but they can display other musical talents besides their main band instrument. I was in a flute choir and I did a voice and guitar duet with my friend Jordan. I really enjoyed myself, especially being on the stage crew!
However, when I came to the realization that it was my last showcase concert ever, that our band intern was finished for the semester, and that there would only be two more big band performances of the year, I became very sad. I think the only thing about high school besides my friends that I am going to miss is band. I love the people, the music, the directors. It all had a big influence on my life. The more and more I thought about it, the more I realized... I don't want this part to end. I want to be a band director!
I'm so excited that I really know what I want to do! It's so sudden, you could have asked me two months ago and I would have told you there NO WAY would I ever consider a career in music, No WAY would I EVER consider beging a teacher... But I really feel that I can do this. What do you think?
I have not had a lot of time to do much of anything lately other than school activities. Key Club meeting, band rehersal, chorus caroling (which I will be doing again this afternoon) etc.
It was pretty awesome. I loved the food, and visiting with family was fun. It was nice to not go anywhere for three days.
It was good to see them and actually get to visit this time... I was so busy last time!
I'm at home with a horrible cold. What a lame way to end the Thanksgiving holiday.
