Various items of interest.. Sort of.
I've been looking over my past entries, and realized that I actually update (not counting quizzes) like.. twice a month. So I guess I'm way overdue for an update... and I have no idea what to say first. Hmm. Well.. Sound of Music auditions were good.. And I got Maria!! I was so suprised when I found out but I'm really proud of myself for it. It's going to be a lot of work, but it's worth it. Big time. It's been a pretty good week overall I guess.. I got 1st flute 3rd chair which I'm also really proud of myself for. I practiced my ass off the week before, and I'm glad it paid off.
So I had a really interesting experience last monday.. I went to see this counselor who my mom wanted me to see because she thought that I might want someone to talk to about like.. the marriage and the move and my dad and stuff.. So I went and we just basically sat and stared at each other for a while.. She asked me some questions, but it was just really awkward. After a while she was just like "You don't really need to talk to anyone, do you?" I said "No.. Not really." And then she said I could leave, and that I could call her anytime that I thought I really needed to talk to someone. It's weird. The subject of my dad and his illness is actually a really touchy subject for me. My close friends (you obviously know who you are) have probably noticed that I haven't ever mentioned it at all. The truth it, my dad is really going through a rough time.. Well.. He doesn't really think he is, but he is. It's hard. My family has been trying to figure out what to do about it for a while, and it's getting to the point where we think we need to tell him outright that he needs extra help. So basically, I just want you guys to know that if you ever see my dad, and he's acting weird, that's why. It's not just his personality. It's really hard to say this, but for those of you who know my dad, that's what's going on. And it's not something that's meant to sound overly depressing, because that's just the way he is, and we all hope that he will be okay again soon. Ok.. I'm going nooow.. I need to go do something with the free time that I actually have. Adios.
