Interesting course of events...
Today was a pretty good day. Felt a bit tired from staying out late to see Yani. That concert was soooooo amazing!! I a new diehard Yani fan! There was a girl that played oboe and she was pretty good. I wanted to go up and ask them how they control their nerves in front of all those people. Maybe they've been doing it for so long they don't get nervous. There was a lady that played violin who was awesome. She really felt the music and got herself into it. I wish I could have that kinda courage...The show had two encores. You'd think we had never heard real music before. Wish Lindsey could have been there. She would have loved it, especially the singers.
Today in band went pretty well. My solo went better, but I still got nervous. Tomorrow I'm having a playing session (you can't really jam on an oboe...well take it back) with my old teacher Michele. That makes me excited to think that she can help me on oboe stuff. I'm going to try to get Mrs. Lenz to teach me haha in my spare time. Although today I spent quite a bit of time goofing off. Went to Jacob's house and played games, went and got McD's icecream cones. Anyways, I have this goal to become just amazing on oboe. I hate the way the trumpets players think they're hott stuff! They are good, but I think the art at being truly amazing at something is keeping it to yourself and having that be enough for you.
How did I choose oboe as my instrument? I must have been nuts...but now I'm addicted. Bank geek for life!!
Going to drop or maybe omit my prob stat class. I just can't stand to have that kind of grade on my GPA. It just kills me! Mrs. White was surprisingly understanding. Just sucks that I've done all that work. She encouraged me to omit the credit. Knowing that makes me feel so much better about my time. I'd still have to do the HW and take tests but I wouldn't have to pass them. lol I'm evil heahaheaha
Lindsey and I are the rebels! And no one ever knows...hahaha
So many decisions to make: college applications, sats and acts, winterguard, oboe, honorband, band solos, the musical, getting a job, fixing my car (which so kindly is flashing me with it's "Service Engine Soon" light, staying rested and healthy. I decided that being healthy is really important to me. I want to start doing pilates, yoga, and dance. Not to lose weight cuz i'm already skinny, but to build up strength and muscle. I think that would make me feel better about myself. I would like to get Mom to do it with me. Sometimes I see how much she needs to be more active. I try to help, but maybe I can do more. I love my mom. We're more of best friends then mother and daughter. Although sometimes she is DEFFINATELY a mom.
Guess I've gotten enough out for one day...this has made me feel better.
