ewww...PSAT's...grosssss....Blue Lake!!! Woot! :D
So, this week has been another incredibly busy week...ugh...I don't have any free time anymore...seriously. poop. All week I've been busy with homework, work, and studying for PSAT's. eww...I took them this morning. haha. I actually finished all of the parts of the test. surprise there. And, I'm excited- I really liked the grammar section! I love grammar...I better have gotten a 100% on it. seriously. I really don't do well on those "generalized knowledge tests"...I'm better with specific tests with details...and whatnot...Surprisingly, the reading was a lot harder than I expected- I didn't know some of the vocabulary...It was harder than the math...I usually find the math harder...hmmm...the first section of the math was easy...the second was harder; I don't think I did that well...but, I hope I got the National Merit Scholarship...I could really use the money...But, now I'm realllyyy excited! I don't have to take a test next week!!! :) I reallllyyy hate studying. seriously. I don't know how I'm going to make it through college. I think I'd rather practice for ten hours, than study for ten hours...speaking of...I got my Blue Lake International music!!! Woot! Woot!
We're playing...
Candide- By: Leonard Bernstein
Pictures at an Exhibition- By: Modest Mussorgsky
...and like six other pieces that I can't remember the names of at the moment...
We're also performing the Barber Adagio at our first rehearsal! And, I'm really excited because I get to play first violin!!! Woot! I love that piece! :D But, unfortunately, I don't even know if I can go to the first rehearsal because it's on the same day as our MYS concert...but that's later in the day...so, I dunno...we'll see...wow...I really need to practice the Mahler...I can't play it at all...oh, and I still haven't gotten my chair test results! pooop...oooh, but I'm excited for tomorrow! It's my sister's and Kelsey's birthdays! woot! B-day parties = lots of food! :) Oh...and we're playing Shostakovich's 8th quartet (turned into orchestra music) in school! Woot! I'm really excited! I love Shosty! :D And, Madness and Mayhem is coming up! haha...should be interesting...but, I'm excited for my role!
Btw. I might just start writing my lj entries in French...it's good practice...and I like French...so, don't be surprised...but, in the case that there is something worth noting in my life, I'll be sure to post it in English. :)
***Okay, so most exciting news of all...JOSHUA BELL is coming perform at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor on February 3rd!!! I'm so excited!!!!! I reeeeaaaallllllllyyyyyyy want tickets!!! He's amazing. Seriously.
