I posted this over at Tumblr -- if you have one of those, follow me at http://rainstar11.tumblr.com b/c I love meeting people who share likes w/me. Anyway. I'm student teaching right now, and I'm about to finish up at my last placement. I had a very emotional afternoon with the Rebel Singers (auditioned 3rd and 4th graders) so I wrote this ( Read more... )

I GOT A FREAKING B IN BIOLOGY!! (even after having an F at the midterm thanks to my teacher being stupid and not responding to my e-mail asking if I could make up the test that I missed while on Wind Ensemble tour)

Also, I'm almost done reading the TSN bakery AU, thank you anysomething! It is so wonderfully squee-giggle-flail-cavity inducing. I can't even. ( Read more... )

Wow. These four years have gone so fast. It seems like yesterday that I was a freshman, shy and completely unsure of myself. My playing was untamed, almost out of control. Now here I am, about to give my senior recital. My playing is in control, and I'm more outgoing and professional. Two years ago I would've crumbled under my trio situation. Now ( Read more... )

I still want to dye my hair red. I've wanted to do this since last year, but I haven't. Kiv and I need to do this together so I'm ( Read more... )

School
School is going well for the most part. I ended up having to drop biology because I wouldn't have time to meet other requirements, but that's okay. I like all of my classes except for orchestration. Ugh, the teacher does not know how to teach! I'm confused on two-thirds of the assignments, but what can I expect? I love my woodwind class, ( Read more... )
