SPRiNG CALM

I love the calm of spring break. There's no fuss about working, except from the parents. There isn't a issue about time, there's enough of it. And there is a FREEDOM about having a week off that I can't detail.There's a stillness in the air in my town. I haven't gone outside since yesterday, but I feel it.
Maybe some people will think I'm crazy for it, but I am sure that it's true for everyone. Freedom changes people, even for a short time. Even if it's limited. Even as I am being yelled at to get off the computer, I feel relaxed about it. Positive, even. Now I know people are going to think I'm mental. I've just stated that I'm calm about being shouted at. But it's TRUE.
There's a few obligations I do have over this break. I have to study. I have two school projects to finish. I have a substantial book to read full of history, dates, and information, but that doesn't matter. I feel calm about doing these things because I know there is no haste in completing any of these tasks. It's completely odd for me and I don't recall ever feeling this way. But I like it.

CTY is only in a matter of two short months chockful of excitement. April is almost over, which is hard to believe and coming up in the first weeks of May is the spring concert. Hard to believe, it usually takes forever to get to May, and this year we're there before anyone suspected. After that is the band awards. Yes, the geeky band awards where we get ice cream and some certification and trophies. Oh, yes, I'm excited. Then soon after is the Chorus Awards. (Same deal, though it's during school.) In the middle of May, there's an interlude into testing like no other. MCAS. I, personally, want this to be held off as much as possible, but there's no escape. This is what I'm studying for. My future depends on getting great grades on this. If I don't, my family will be wondering what in the world am I doing at CTY.
Then in June I have plans to meet Erica at Great East Festivals. I'm going for two groups, Stage Band and A Cappella. Then after, Erica and I are gonna figure out how to meet at Canobie. It's gonna be amazing, after all I've heard from my friends who've already gone.
Soon after that, there are plans for our eighth grade class to go to Canobie as well. That will be fun, but not as fun as going with the band and chorus geeks will be! Then there's Vaudeville which I'm going to put my heart and soul into. I really want to shine in my last year at MSMS. And, alas, Final Fling. Final Fling is going to be amazing, regardless of what I wear, what theme, what decorations. I just know that the friends I've made are more important and are going to make the night for me. Then I graduate. I really want a scholarship. I know I may not get one, but I really want one. If I work really hard this quarter, I think I'm quite in the running for All-Around. It's a long-shot, but I want it.
Then within the week of leaving school, I go to Carlisle. I can't wait. Faces I haven't seen in the longest time will be familiar once more. I can't believe how many people I've met and already know going into Carlisle this year. It's unbelievable. I especially can't believe the kinds of people I've met. Every walk of life. It's great, and I can't wait to have fun this year with the old friends and the new.

break...

The start of spring break was okay. Today was less than amazing. I had dosai for breakfast. (It's a kind of Indian pancake thing.) Then I goofed around for a while. I read some Potter and did some fun stuff, I guess. Then I tried updating Mugglecast, to no avail. I've spruced up this new site so it looks perty. I'm quite proud that I managed to find something that would work for this. I'm gonna try to synch this and my xangerr so they match up. My parents don't like my being on the computer so long. It makes them angry that I'm quote unquote wasting my time. Keeping a record of life is a waste of time? Then it seems as though historians are wasting their time recording what's happened so long ago. Maybe I should be a historian. I tease. I don't like history enough to spend my life surrounded by it. I'm really tired and jittery and I don't even know why. I wish I could sleep, but then I'd probably sleep until tomorrow night. I wish my site would get visitors, even I'm growing bored at seeing this empty site. (I know it'll fill with posts soon, though.)

crazy week

This has been a very, very short week. I'm so zonked. This morning I just listened to Pottercast because I couldn't get up, and my ipod was in my ears. Here's the low-down on this week.

Monday: Trip to elementary schools. We went to Fox Hill and Francis Wyman, my two old schools. I sang in A Cappella and in the mixed A Cappella groups. Then I played my flute in Symphonic Band. It was a really fun trip, but some of our songs sounded... interesting. Then when I got home, I went for a walk, if i remember correctly. It was enjoyable. Then I finished my homework, watched TV with the fam, then watched the Apprentice with myself. It was so funny.

Tuesday: This was the more fun trip to the other two elementary schools. We went to Memorial and Pine Glen. Memorial was fun because we worked on our A Cappella circle song. We now actually have one! The not so fun part was singing/playing for the elementary kids in the cafeteria. =[ Pine Glen was exhilarating because the principal brought the WHOLE school out to see us. It was thrilling. We sang well and I played my solo. =] Then the band brought fear into those kids with the "Tunes that go Bump in the Night"!! After Pine Glen, we went to the mall. It was quite enjoyable with our large table. We made a long table out of 7 or so little tables. Then we went to Brigham's for ice cream. (Not before we got Ms. O'Neill a peep...! ) I don't remember the rest of the day.

Wednesday: On Wednesday I had stage band rehearsal and hung out with Carolyn and Katie in the halls. Then I had to go to mixed A Cappella rehearsal with everyone. It was so funny because we had little Derek sing "you know i love the ladies..." from Joy to the World for the assembly. =] Then in the afternoon, I had A Cappella rehearsal until afterschool. It went well, Great East is going to be fun.

Thursday: Thursday was just plain hectic. We had stage band and A Cappella rehearsals in the morning right before our 8th grade assembly. THe performances went well and Derek captured the hearts of 300 8th grade girls. Then, we went to 7th grade lunch and saw the rest of our assembly. Then we rehearsed again for the 6th grade assembly and performed. Derek wore his chicken suit for the costume contest, but didn't win. =[ but David, Carolyn, Bridget and I had fun in the Music Room. =]

And now I'm writing this.
I am quite bored, but I have to send in my essay for beam... =[
Adieu!
