ICE SKATINGGG

I love it.

We went yesterday and my friend and I totally OWNED my other friends. One of them almost killed me (not really) dragging me down and another ran into me to stop and it was funny because I barely moved and she was the one who fell down, but anyway...

School tomorrow. Jazz band after that from 4 to 5:30. Youth Symphony after that from leaving the house at 6 to getting back at about 9:20. and then homework. yay.

CANCELED

AAAAAAAAUUGHH Western Regionals was canceled because of snow up in the mtns.........now I actually have to go to SCHOOL tomorrow and I was sooooo looking forward to not having to....gah...

It will be another busy weekend...

going back to the exact same place as last weekend (but a different hotel) for Western Regional Orchestra clinic. gah music is starting to eat up my lifeeeee. I have to miss the next 2 maybe 3 academic team practices on Tuesdays because of orchestra MPA (Music Performance Assessment) and I've already missed the last 3 because of it. Jazz Band started again on Mondays and Wednesdays are Academic Team matches...oh, and I have 3 major tests tomorrow....

SOOOO busy

My teachers chose a great time to suddenly pile all the homework on me...last week I had in-car from 6:45 to 8:45 and I was up in the mountains Friday, Saturday, and just came back today for All District Band clinic...but it was pretty fun, my roomies were fun. I roomed with the only other 3 girls who made the band, and this senior that I've known for awhile who I swear was really shy because she doesn't talk in band class is really very very loud. She locked me out of our hotel room when I went to go ask the guys next door to us something. Then she wouldn't open the door and when she finally did, the deadbolt was chained. Gah. :P
Watched the Olympics each night, freaked out my roomies when I was on the phone with my family because I wasn't speaking English, threw a snowball at a roommate's head.

Altogether a fun, productive weekend. :D

snow again...maybe

this week's schedule--snowed last Friday, out of school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Two hour delay Thursday, and school closed tomorrow, Friday because of the "snow/ice." (it hasn't happened yet.)


so I'm, again, going to procrastinate on my project.

Rubber Bands

Agh I got rubber bands for my braces yesterday they are really annoying.

had a 5 day weekend because of snow and I have an assignment due Friday but since we havent been in school I dont feel desperate enough to really do it. So I'm only 3/4 done. Which seems like a lot, but I want to be able to look over it. Gah.

Snow

hope for snow tomorrow! getting out of school early would be so awesome, you have nooooo idea. Just like that day right before Christmas break, we got out 2 1/2 hours early!!!!

sleep with your pajamas inside out, everyone. and add an ice cube under your pillow just for good measure :D

Band

AAAaahhh I got 2nd chair in All District Band and 4th chair in the Honors Western Regional Orchestra! I seriously thought I did terrible but I always think that........but yeah.....both are out of town in the mountains at the exact same place one weekend after another, get to stay in hotels with my music buddies!

Exams

EXAMS ARE OVER YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS i'm so happy
I got an 88 on English, but they added a 5 point curve, so technically I got a 93 -- but my average is still a B! :(
Uhm....got a 99!! on World History, thank god, because I studied all weekend.
Don't know anything else yet.....
All-District Band and Western Regional Orchestra auditions tomorrow! Yeaaayyyy.......ugh it really bugs me how they put them right after exams....I can totally imagine the Bandmasters Association saying, "Hey, we should schedule auditions so no one will have time to practice before them!"

SMA

Found this from the Williams' blog--

If you are a member of Facebook or know someone who is, please take the chance to do something incredible!

Chase Community Giving is awarding $1 million to one charity and $100,000 to the five runners-up! The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation is working to find a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy - and they could use the money!

Fast Facts:

- SMA is the #1 genetic killer of infants under the age of 2
- 50% of those diagnosed will not live to see their 2nd birthday
- kids with SMA lose the ability to sit, stand, walk, talk, eat, swallow, and breathe
- 1 in 40 people is a carrier
- the National Institute of Health says that SMA is the #1 CURABLE disease if given research funding
- right now there is NO cure and NO treatment
- right now SMA is a DEATH SENTENCE

Want to change that? Vote for the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation on the Chase Community Giving app on Facebook! You have five votes to tell the world that you want a CURE for SMA!
