at the end of our days, we'll escape

let's just get this out there, shall we?

i didn't make central districts this year. i got a 99 out of 115, and the cut-off was 101. and i was upset. i was so confident this year, in my piece, in my tone, in my idea of switching teachers. in the past two months i have learned so much from dagmara. she is the most amazing teacher. and if people don't like her then they can fuck off. don't take your aggressions out on her students or cynthia's students just because you think they made us switch. it was our own decision to better ourselves. and you know what? if i don't get into districts because i am with dagmara, then i don't want to be in districts.

but i'm good. i don't care if i sound conceited--i know i'm good. i worked my ass off for the past two months, and you tried to judge that in five minutes. well you can't tell all of the hard work i've done, can you? i got a 45 out of 50 on my piece. my musicianship was perfect. my hand techniques were nearly perfect. i did good.

i'm damn proud of myself. i don't care that i didn't make it into districts. fuck districts. it's a lot of politics just pushed in there. i just played an awesome concert on sunday as concertmistress. and i'm ten times more proud of that. gosh, i must sound like such a brat. but...this is my journal. i can say what i want.

jenny rapp, i hope you get in. you deserve this my dear. you have done so well this year, i'm proud of you! you are an amazing friend, and you have the second best teacher in worcester ;)
cathryn welch, you never cease to amaze me. you are awesome at what you do, and you are my best friend. thank you so much for coming to cheer me up tonight, making me laugh so much, talking about the boys. i love you soooo much, you are my other half. you deserve this.
thomas, congrats :) that's all i need to say.
meenal&alex, thanks for listening to me cry today. thank you for everything you said. and alex, you said it best, "districts didn't give you a solo, it didn't take you to europe this summer. you are amazing."
dara, my lord you are the wisest. "they don't know what they're missing." oh how i love my friends.

good luck to everyone who got into districts this year.

i'll see you all at the concert.

<3 alex
