Hey, look, this one's not unhappy! :D
I just really felt a sudden desire to do SOMETHING, and instead of that something being useful, like doing my homework, I have decided to write. Although, I really don't know how long this will last, so this whole thing is up in the air.
I'm doing well. Super excited about the end of this week, going to Clevelansky!!! Oh goodness, this entire week is just going to go about 1mph, seriously. Like, super slowmo. And then I'll get there and won't have as much fun as I'm looking to, you just watch. Well....actually, it should be pretty great, because I'll get to see Mikey and Danny and Michelleeeee! And probably Kevin, but I don't know if he's in Germany right now or not. I sort of feel they'd come over for the Holidays. Whoo boy, and if he does, bet you anything they'd stay with Aunt Louise, who we are staying with Saturday night. How crazy would that night be, holy cow.
I think I just really enjoy having this separate family that no one in Virginia can relate to. I hope I always have ties in Ohio, so it always feels like home when I visit. I don't think I'd ever move up there again, but it was such a nice place, sometimes I truly wonder what it would have been like to live there all 16 years.
Not to say I don't love Virginia, because I do just bunches!
I hope it snows.
Ok, second topic, let's see here.....OH GOOD LORD. I have so many things I just thought of all at once, how crazy.
Ok, violin. We have had gigs gaLORE this past week, it has been so surreal. Like, every day I'm in my dress, playing here and there and just absolutely tearing up my strings! In fact, even though I've already played at St.Paul's church today, I need to practice for our winter concert TOMORROW. Speaking of St.Paul's, once again the funnest mass I'll ever sit through. I don't know about going every week, but once a year surely suffices. And I always play so well up there, because people can hear you, but not see you, and I've got more than a quartet to back me up. I would play like that all my life if I could.
Oh, but anyway. Guess what I did yesterday? Played an ELECTRIC violin! I've been telling everyone, it was one of the coolest experiences I've had with my instrument, it was nearly mystifying. I was shocked to see the one I'd been playing was for sale, less than $600! You can't even imagine my awe! And it sounded terrific, and the weight it put on my shoulder was pleasant, very different from a lightweight acoustic so many of us are used to playing. What's more is, my mom knows the manager of Sam Ash! So I obviously just HAVE to get a job there, starting next September, so I can save up and purchase it plus an amp. I figure, I'll nanny in August for Coleen, see the sights Boston has to offer, it would be GREAT, just SO SO SO great, to go and see the Boston Pops whilst there! Like, good gracious, way to transport me directly to heaven above, I promise you.
Then, after my nannying over the summer, I go directly into a job at Sam Ash. It'll be great because I'm already planning on only having 6 periods next year and getting out at 3pm with Esther, that way I can still give her a ride home. And if I decide to take an online course, I can even only have 3 cores and 3 electives, and still get out after 6th. I'm telling you, it will be the greatest, most stupendous year of my life. Totally looking forward to it.
