Last night/this morning was my first all-nighter for completing homework. I had all break to write that paper but I couldn't get into the project until the last minute so I stayed up. It actually turned out well. Working under pressure makes things a lot easier. I crawled into the bed at 4:15 and fell asleep at 4:30ish only to have a nightmare. ( Read more... )

I went to get my license today and I passed! I believe you must get a 75 to pass and I got an 80. The thin black woman was testing again and she took 5 points off today for turning my signal on too soon. I missed 15 on the maneuverability for stopping twice and I was uneven at the end. I thought I was going to fail as we were coming back because I ( Read more... )

I got the most whacked out gifts. Actually, only one is weird. I went to my grandma Imogene's last night to get together with my 'other' family and they gave me 50-60 dollars in gift certificates. Then I opened my mom's gift to me and she got me a tan army looking backpack and a gold trumpet mouthpiece that I wanted. (I already knew that was coming ( Read more... )

I know it's great that we missed school on Wednesday, but I really need to go shopping and all of this snow is keeping me from it. I haven't bought any Christmas presents for my family yet so it's going to be really crappy. It's not really fun to play in either because you can't walk very well in it, it's too deep to sled in, and outside is REALLY ( Read more... )

Yes! No school today. I don't really know why not because there isn't very much snow on the ground today.

I failed. I suck at everything.

Today has been great. My grandma went to Sam Ash today and picked up my new Stradivarius trumpet! I was so happy, I've been waiting for a long time and my dad finally told me to go pick one out. It's a really special one too, it has gold trim and it's an anniversary trumpet- the bell has an apple engraved because the company was started in New York ( Read more... )

Should I go to the game, or should I not go to the game? Hmm... NO! Pep band sucks. It's all hot and stuffy in the gym, and I need to be doing my homework. But I probably won't. Oh well ( Read more... )

I suck so bad at the trumpet. Of course people are going to say "But Erika, you made honor band, and you're first chair, and you're so much better than me!", but guess what, I work my ass off all the time to keep that much from falling apart. Being good in Hamilton doesn't mean shit. Anybody that doesn't believe me needs to go see a real band ( Read more... )

      mussorgsky is lovebrought to you by the isLove GeneratorToday was o.k. I had district 13 honor band auditions at Waynesville High School. I think that I did better than last year but I think I sucked last year. It was a fluke that I made it. I played the sight reading pretty well; I missed some notes but my tempo was steadily established and ( Read more... )
