yay jazz band.
Okay, Mr. Burgess.  When you make a comment about principles needing to wait to talk to their sections until you have spoken, it’s obvious that you are talking to me.  And then when you say “We need a hierarchy and I’M the boss,” I get pissed off.  If you can’t say it to my face, shut up.

Typical New England Weather.
Yesterday was absolute downpour, and today is nice and lovely.  Goooo New England. So I wore my SYMS shirt today and three people came up to me and were like WOAH SYMS but they were all people who went to Junior SYMS, which is so not as cool. Oh hey look, the school day just ended, and I’m already home.  Yayyyy senior privileges and a car. :)

WTF TRUMPETS AND TROMBONES
Holy crap, our orchestra sucks.  Next week, Mr. Chaurette is having me run a brass sectional where I am going to beat the shit out of the trumpets and trombones, because they SUCK. The horns (other than me) are really good though!!!!!! Anddddd we’re forming an awesome woodwind quintet with the only people in band who don’t suck! (aka me, Kelsey, Sarah, Marissa, and Jiyae.)

Everybody likes messing with me.
Last night, Dr. Adsit. And then today, the orthodontists.  They love harassing me and then trying to convince me to get hot pink braces and then confusing me with the whole OPEN MOUTH CLOSE MOUTH thing and then taking some braces off on appointment, and then putting them RIGHT BACK ON the next appointment. I swear, they only do it BECAUSE THEY CAN. Ohhh yay.

Dr. Adsit picks on me SO much.
I love GHYWE, but really, Dr. Adsit????? You really get that much enjoyment out of singling me out and picking on me? Ugh. I drove by a UNH Campus Recreation truck on my way home. haha.  Wrong state there, UNH.

I'M HAVING A CHILDDDDD
with Haley Hamlin.  She’s the other euph player in band, and she has a flesh eating disorder.  And as of band today, she’s having my child, which she wants to name Goliath if it’s a girl and Golsto if it’s a guy.  So now I have to hold down the section even more, because I could never leave a pregnant person with a flesh-eating disorder exposed. Ahahaha, I love band. And...

UGH
I was too drugged (Benedryl) to do any work yesterday, and was gone all day, and I still have 2.5 pages more to go on this stupid paper about heroes and villians.  I dislike Modern European History.

Asians are silly.
So Chris took me out for lunch yesterday, and we got Sushi and Bento Boxes (I have never had Sushi before; IT IS SO GOOOOOD), and the Asians told me there was no pineapple in any of my food. I woke up with a reaction. FAIL. Either they were wrong, or the concept of “cross-contamination” never entered their minds. Dang, I was doing good…. I haven’t had one since early...

Skill?
So the Formans and I ate out and the restaurant had crayons and paper-table-cloth, so I wrote a trio for French Horn, Euphonium, and Bass Trombone with green, red, and orange crayons, titled “Yet Another Night Without Lena.” I am skilled, though I still have NO idea what it sounds like, but Adam took a picture, so I am going to put it in Finale at some point and see if my music...

YAYYYY :)
My teaching skills went flying up in the past week. :) That went SO well, except for the fact that I took up 22 minutes instead of 12.  OOOOOOPS. :P And I saw my brother, and he doesn’t hate me, so I’m EXTRA happy :) Today was ideal.  We played a game in Calc (even though that game was SO rigged for the other team!!!!!!), then I played French Horn, then Euphonium, then Clarinet, then...

I love him.  And I left him stuck there.  And he’s probably not going to look at me the same way ever again.

Is this what a home should feel like?
I’m sleeping better, being more productive, and haven’t screamed since Saturday morning.  It is SUCH a relief.   But he hasn’t been talking to me at all, she’s not allowed to talk to me, and I can only imagine what he is going through at home. (Those are three sep. people, fyi) And the best part?  She thinks this is all my fault, and that she did nothing to me. ...

Day 1 — Your Best Friend
Dear Hannah- You are disgusting, and you cover my face in things like peanut butter and jelly.  You are a gross, fancy-dancy rabble-rousing mucky-muck. And yet I love you. :) Pasta Night 2009 - sort of a success, but it wouldn’t have been the same without you.  We got SO close, and that was awesome.  And then you saved my life over the past few months, and now we’re doing Pasta...

Student teaching? INTENSE. I loved it. Those kids are AMAZING. I am so excited. This is going to be an AMAZING year. :) Butttttt naturally, on my way into the school, I walked right into a pole shorter than me and now I have a red spot on my nose where it tore the skin off :P It was a GREAT way to begin my teaching, haha.

AHHHHH IT'S TOMORRRRROWWWWWWW
Tomorrow I begin getting a glimpse of the rest of my life.  I’m student-teaching the Ashford School Junior High Band, and I am so nervous. I’m conducting this amazing piece called Bosnian Folk Songs by Fred Allen.  It’s beautiful and awesome, but it has SO much syncopation, so I’m starting with an F Major (the key of the beginning and end of the piece) Scale with a eighth,...

Day Ten: One confession.
Hmmmm.  One confession?  This is tough, because I’m an open book.  Like, literally, the biggest secret for me to keep was that I’m an orange…..  and that only lasted until I actually had somebody to be an orange for, lol.  SO.  What shall I confess? Hmmmmmm. Even now, when I really can’t sleep, I take a benedryl, drink a glass of warm milk, and watch TV until I...

My family is most likely going to NEW HAMPSHIRE this Saturday.  I hope we’re staying over.  I better get to see him, even if he’s in a cruddy mood after orchestra.  OH that would be nice.  We’ll see how that idea flies with mom :P ahahaha, yeah right.  But I can try? AND today in Men’s Chorus, I went from Bass 1 tag-along to Tenor 2 section leader?  What?  This should be...

So much fun.  Except when you’re the kid beyond afraid of heights, and your friend makes you do the ride thing where you’re locked in this little two-person cage and flips and stays upside down and goes really fast and your friend is like “LOOK HOW HIGH WE ARE!” and “WOAH THIS THING IS SO RUSTY!” and “OH HEY LOOK, YOU CAN SEE MY CAR ALLLLL THE WAY OVER...
