So I left for jazz band during 4th period today, and came back to get a pencil about an hour later. Get back, and Erik and Krystal tell me I got 1st chair. Haha. Honestly, I was shocked, because I soooooo didn't want that. I went back to Clark and told him that I wasn't going to be coming back very often because it was an agreement that if I placed 1st chair Hudson wasn't going to let me go more than once a week. So I was depressed for 15 minutes, in which I found out that I had in fact been LIED TO. YES! I'm not first chair!!! In fact, Im third! Which in total makes me fifth. Funny, because this time last year I would have been totally crushed by this. My how things change as interests span.
I also called Matt Bonelli to start jazz lessons. It feels weird though, because I used to take lessons from his wife for classical stuff, I'll probably be really uncomfortable walking in there the first few times. Whatever. The guy is FUCKING AMAZING. My father thinks its time to find another high school because I'm so damn bored with classical bass playing. Not to offend it in any way, but it isn't my bag. There was a day that I liked doing it, but thats before Carlos broke his arm and sat in for him and learned that something else out there existed.
