So, Between Friday and Saturday, I went to a handbell festival in north GA.  Even though it's kind of nerdy, it was freaking awesome.  There were 32 (more or less) handbell choirs from all around GA who most had at least 4 octaves of bells and some 5 octaves (which is how many the group I went with has).  And it was in the biggest church I've ever ever seen.  And I've seen some really big churches.  It was really cool to be there in the midst of so much music.  The only uncool thing was that the guy who plays bells next to me (we both play the big bass bells at the bottom, C3 - A3) couldn't be there.  At first, I was like, that's cool.  I can handle it.  Ummm...  yeah.  After 4-5 hours of rehearsal in less than 24 hours with 10 bells under my charge (10 HUGE Brass bells), my arms were feeling like lead.  Even during the performance, I had to let a few notes go because I just couldn't pick the thing up.  But it was still fun.  Most of the bass bell ringers there were guys and I love stepping into guys' territory like that.  Sometimes I take it to far and show off, but it's fun.  The guys (bass ringers) in the choir behind us were asking me if I had to play all those bells all the time.  Of course not, but they were impressed anyway.  It took 2 guys with manly muscles to do what one girl was doing.  heh.

I find out Monday if I passed the GACE!!  .....  At least if I don't pass, I know that it's because I honest to God didn't study (I don't suggest that strategy obviously).  Although I still felt good about it in general.  But that doesn't mean anything.

School's almost over.  Only a week or so left.  I have a bad feeling that my girly time of the month may happen at the same time which means I'm going to be crying all over the damn place.  I dont' know what I'm going to do without some of my people especially one or two in particular.  Hell, I was told the other day that they don't know what they're going to do without me when I'm gone.  For the event concerned, I was the only one who gave a damn to help out.  I try not to leave people hanging with all the work in general.  But I'm sure there will be some incoming freshman who takes my place in the life of Porter.  Oh, I have to stop.  I'm getting sad.  :(
