Saturday Afternoon Blues
I'm bored. The only homework I have this weekend is to read a scene from Hamlet. A three-page scene. It's better than having a ton of homework, but I don't know what to do. Particularly since I had festival last night and festival again tonight. I have trouble going out and doing fun stuff when I have to worry about being somewhere later the same day.
So orchestra went pretty well last night, I guess. Nothing too horrible, but nothing too great, either. The judges did make the comment that first trumpet stuck out. Wow, that's a new one. But it was fun because I got to hear one of the other pieces the orchestra is playing. (I just sat there on stage, but that's okay because the trombones didn't have a part in it either so I wasn't the only one.) They played "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart, and it was pretty nifty. I recognized it as the song Willy Wonka uses to open up the door to the Candy Room in his factory in the movie. Yay for useless trivia. That's so going to be the last question on Millionaire one of these days...
Oh, and here's some exciting news...to me, anyway. I gave Ethel the necklace I got for her in Mexico (for $4...shhhhh) on Wednesday, and she actually wore it on Friday. Isn't that amazing? Who would have thought that I could pick out an item of jewelry that a girl would actually wear? Maybe she was just wearing it to be nice or something, but then, that's not so bad either.
Ummmm....so, yeah...I think I'm out of stuff of interest to write. I don't think I even have any non-interesting stuff to write. Oh well.
Well, one last thing. One of my friends called me after reading my last entry and made me feel better about my situation with my parents. Thank you...you know who you are.
