Say hey it's a good day
Needless to say, I felt about 400000 times better today than I did yesterday. I was depressed, missed my friends, felt cooped up and wanted to hang out with someone other than my mom for once, and it turned sour. I figure now, if Aria says it's ok, she'll come out and say it's ok for me to hang out with her. I really don't care anymore. Yes, sometimes I can be annoying. But what seems annoying to you can not be annoying to me, and vice versa. Ah well. It's over with, it's in the past. All is forgiven.
Today was the easiest sub job ever. I taught at Washington. I was supposed to sub for Kevin Van Ess, the band teacher. He has bands in the morning normally. However, since this week is the end of the semester, tests were being given. Add another HOWEVER, hours were completely different, and he had no bands to teach. He was going to be giving Ginger's tests for her in choir. Which I ended up doing. She couldn't because she was at Preble giving a final to her high school class. She came over and was like "What are you doing here?" and it was nice because this was the first time that Ginger and I really got a chance to talk. I may disagree with some of her teaching habits, but she is a good person. I helped her with show choir and helped grade papers because I didn't want to sit around on my butt and do nothing for 4 hours. And I'm subbing for Ginger twice next week, unless I get called in for an interview. I hope I do, I really would like a shot at one of these jobs that I'm pursuing. They only know me so much from my credentials. If they could only see me teach. I KNOW I can be a good teacher. I just wish that someone with a permanent job opening could see that for what I do rather than through what I say in an interview. I know it's going to happen this year. I have faith that it will happen, and that doesn't make me worried in the slightest that what happened last summer will happen again.
Today I also got my schedule for worship team. True, I'd much rather sing on a worship team than play synth, but as was evident in playing for Christmas, I've discovered a whole new way to praise the Lord through music. I'm very excited for this, since I've wanted to be on a worship team ever since high school. Jeff also said I could audition vocally later.
In other news I went to Express with my parents and got like $500 worth of stuff for like $80 since it was their sale and I got an additional 15% off for getting an express card. I got 2 blazers, one that was brown for $50 that was originally $180 and a denim one for $20 that was like $150, 2 shirts for $10 each that were each $50 originally, and a pair of jeans for $20 that were $70. And those prices do not include the 15% off. It was the first time I've ever walked into a store with a sale and they have like tons of clothes in my size. Usually they only have XXL and stuff that I will drown in, except for really ugly clothes which they have like 20 of per size that no one wants because it was ugly. Then I went to orange julius and got a strawberry julius and dad got a 3 berry smoothie. Then we went into victoria's secret to get me a bra.
Just kidding.
Mom wanted to get dad some cologne, and they have this great cologne called very sexy for men, and she got some of that for him. Then we went to the game store which is closing because christmas is over, but I bought phase 10 for $5. Then I got a pretzel from Auntie Anne's. Then we went home and had Jake's pizza for dinner. Yum.
I have to get ready for bed. If I don't get called tomorrow (which I have a feeling that there is no school on friday anyways, because of finals), I will be doing laundry and packing for the weekend, since I am going to Platteville to celebrate Kyle's birthday. Unfortunately I'm going by myself, I asked a couple of Kyle's friends if they could go but they can't. But hey, the drive isn't so bad, it's better than the drive I had to take to get to Decatur. I wanted to give the heads up in case I don't update before then.
OK time to get ready for bed. I could still get called tomorrow, but I kind of doubt it because of the fact finals are going on. But you can't be too careful. I don't want what happened at preble to happen again where I go in on 3 hours of sleep, and function but not at 100%. Not a good feeling.
