Stupid Eric. I hope you're happy.
So, I'm updating to make SOMEONE'S, who's name I shall not mention (*cough*Eric*cough*), friend page not so lonely. I think that this person, who I cannot reveal identity of, is looking for a newspaper is this person wants regular updates. This particular person, who is going down to Florida the day after this person's birthday, is going skydiving, which I have always wanted to do. Next summer I am so going. Mostly because I'll be 18 next summer and my parents won't sign the waiver. But its on the top of my list of things to do before I die. I can't wait.
The tennis banquet is on Wednesday. We still have to get the coaches a gift. I think we're just doing gift certificates or something like that. I had to write my speech yesterday, and I think it turned out pretty good. I think at the banquet I might start to tear up. Not cry! But tear up. Writing my speech just made me realize that I don't have that much time left in highschool and that I'll soon be rooting for a different mascot and a different team with different colors. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Even though I know it's inevitable, I can't help but feel like I'm leaving so much behind me when I go. Theres so much I want to do, but I wonder if I didn't make the most of my highschool years while I was there. Oh well, whats done is done.
I made Area-Allstate which I am really excited for. I told Mr. Cannistraci about what happened last year about the music mix-up (grr), and he said that we would try to get in anyways, and I did! Which is a relief. I thought that because it was festival, it didn't count. The rehearsal is on Nov. 17th and 18th, and the concert is on the afternoon of the 18th. Which means I won't be at the bottle drive! And I have a legitimate reason not to be there. After all of these years of joking about conveniently having to be somewhere on the day of bottle drive, it finally happened! Oh the irony. Chamber orchestra is the same as usual. Hallelujah Chorus and the Christmas carols are the same. Every Monday after school. The Messiah is going well. I have gone to 2 rehearsals and it's already sounding pretty good. Sylvia is as eccentric as usual. She's so demanding of everyone, and she gets worked up over the smallest details. She really needs to take a chill pill. Yes I said it!. So far this is the schedule for the next month and a half:
Dress Rehearsals:
Sunday, November 26, 6:00 pm - St. Pius X Church, Crumitie Road, Loudonville
Friday, December 1, 6:00 pm - Loudonville Community Church
Concert Dates:
Sunday, December 3, 6:00 pm, Loudonville Community Church, 374 Loudon Road, Loudonville

Thats where Jon Dadekian goes!
Track starts this week. I already told my coaches that I have Chamber on mondays, and tutoring on Thursdays so they shouldn't have a problem about it. Besides, it's not like I'm skipping practice. I'm just coming late twice a week. For the rest of the time I'll be there along with the rest of the girls. Since I'm in "scholarly activities" they can't "get mad" at me for conflicting schedules. Coach Myers is scary. I try to avoid him as much as possible when I have something conflicting with a meet or something. I usually tell Coach Schultz or Cacciutto. When I'm at practice and doing well in my events, Myers is great, but he's so intense when I have to leave early from a practice or something. I'm always excited for track to start, but when we actually get into the season and we're at practice, I ask myself why I'm doing it. I just can't bring myself to quit. I would feel like such a...quitter (creative huh?). I guess it keeps me in shape, so I'll keep it up.
I guess I had more to say than I originally thought.
