The roller coaster ride continues...I think I'll just talk about the fun parts tonight though...
State contest went pretty well. The sight reading judge was really impressed with us, but honestly I don't think we did all that well. Oh well. We got a superior anyway lol. All the Apex music groups that went this year (Chorus, Concert Band I, Concert Band II, Wind Ensamble, and Orchestra) got Superiors for the first time in Apex High history, so that's pretty cool.
I've been tutoring a kid in Algebra I for the last week or so, and after two sessions, he had his first test...and he went up 26 points from his last test^^ That made me really really happy. His mom almost made me cry when she picked him up the day he found out his test score...she said "You are the angel that was sent to help him" and I was like "awwwww!"
Oh I know what else I've done lately! I went to Steven's Eagle ceremony last Saturday, which was fun. Then Matt and I planned to go to a Broughton soccer gathering (which somehow became a football gathering?), but things went completely crazy first lol. We were both dressed up but I decided I didn't care since I wasn't going to play, except I didn't want to wear heels, so I asked Matt's mom if I could borrow a pair of her shoes. So Matt and I went back to his house. He changed, I found shoes, I filled up water bottles, we started looking up directions, called Kelly, etc. Then Matt realized how late it was and that he was supposed to meet someone within half an hour or so to work on his car. So I put the shoes back, emptied the water bottles, closed the page w/the address and the directions, called my parents and told them Matt was going to drop me off in a few minutes. Then Matt's cell rang. The guy who was supposed to help him with his car couldn't come. So we reversed the process lol. My parents thought I was crazy because I called them so many times, as did Matt's dad because we kept running past him. Then of course I had the sense to leave my cell phone at Matt's so I had to give my parents yet another call to tell them not to call my cell and to call Matt's if they needed me lol. So anyway...We finally got to the gathering. About ten minutes later, the game ended (yay!). We all went out to dinner together, had an adventure following Brian the speed driver in Matt's truck with its inability to accelerate, and then saw Fun with Dick and Jane. It was a really fun night and I hope we have more gatherings like that again soon!
School stuff....Ugh german sucks as usual. I'm still struggling. I'm barely holding onto an A in there and I got an 86 on my midterm, which is not good for me, but Frau says my quarter grade is still an A but it's low. So...bleh. I got to work with Hannah P for the last few minutes of class today and I will tomorrow too, thanks to Frau being spacey and forgetfull haha (she paired us with other people but we just sat together and she didn't notice O:-) hehe) and I'm hoping that it will continue after spring break too. Stat...is stat lol. I'm having trouble concentrating in that class, partially because we're practically doing the same thing over and over again with slight varriations, and partially because I'm brain dead because I've just come from German. However...even when I feel like I have no idea what's going on, I usually make like a 95 or higher on everything we do so it doesn't really matter lol. Tech theater is much fun as always. We're working on ideas for the set of Sweet Charity, and it's pretty much designed now. We'll start construction after Spring Break, which starts tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to be in the Pit for the musical, which is awsome. We'll even get to be on stage :-) I'm excited. Band...meh. We've been kinda wild in there this week because contest is over and it's almost spring break. I still miss the social part, even though Amber, Marissa, Joe, and Eron are really nice. It's just not the same as things used to be, but I guess it just never will be. I still don't really understand why but whatever. I just need to stop thinking about it or I'll start crying again and I'm entirely too sick of that.
I've decided that the three most cuddly non-bf guys ever are Matt, Steven, and Dave. They keep me sane. It's kind of amusing though. Matt's actually started introducing me to people as his sister or "the sister i never had" because otherwise we think people get the wrong impression lol. Steven I don't see often enough around people who don't know us well for it to matter, and Dave hugs everyone so no one notices lol.
Oh and one final fun thing because I g2g-Ms. Bate was subbing for chorus today and it was during my tech class and she got fed up with them (because she tried to make them sight read something and she doesn't know how to teach them a piece of music and tried to teach it to them anyway lol) and yelled and finally brought them to the auditorium for Ms. Winter to watch them instead...so Matt (not Cowan...umm...I can't htink of his last name, the one from my creative writing class last semester that's in tech now) and I just looked at eachother and laughed when she came in because it's actually really funny to see her fed up with other classes now because both of us disliked her so much because she was so hateful to us.
Gnight!
