Yesterday the jazz festival was cancelled because of snow. I was relieved and sad. After school, I made quiche and cookies, which sort of flopped. Actually they were better today. Then I hung out with some cool people and we watched Billy Madison (which is a funny/stupid movie), played pictionary, built candy structures and watched a few rousing rounds of bownership (bonership?), a newly invented game which I expect to become a quite popular Olympic sport fairly soon. I got home before midnight and woke up this morning at 9 not very rested.
The rest of the day I pretty much spent reading Girl With a Pearl Earring from start to finish. It is a marvelous book, I would strongly recommend reading it. Also, I need to plan on writing a book report about it within the next four days. Today, Shkmolly called me and she was sad, so I scanned her a note I wrote her. I can't really tell if it cheered her up or not. I hope she feels better soon.
I attempted to take a shower many times today but it was about 4 o'clock by the time it actually happened. By that time, I was in sort of a weird mood so I sat around feeling lame for a while and then I played the marimba. It was an interesting way to release my feelings. I don't know if I could explain it in a way that would make sense. It had gotten almost dark by that point but I didn't turn on the light, and I just tried to play different chords that made interesting sounds in the dark. I felt calm when I was done.
Sorry that didn't really make sense. You know how when you have something that happened in your life and you want to show how much it meant to you but you can't find the words? That's what it was.
I still haven't gotten any word from the music departments I'm waiting for. I did get an invitation to the Excellence Banquet, though. I wasn't expecting that because I'm out of the top ten. Interesting.
