Highlights

Well today was pretty blah...except for a few highlights. First off, I made and appointment with Mr. McKee today, so hopefully this whole Encore thing will be sorted out. Lunch was great...me telling Sil about last night's stories and us talking in general. From here, the day was eh...we had a Socratic seminar and I actually talked..something new for me. Then the pep assembly happened. First off, dance team performed. I did fine, but apparently some of the freshmen were just standing there...yeah, not good. But before that, Evy sang the National Anthem...or should I say tried. Now don't get the wrong impression...she didn't even get to start. The microphone died or something so the band ended up playing instead. I felt bad because I think this was her first time singing it in front of the whole school...correct me if I'm wrong. It was kind of ironic though because as interested as I was to hear her rendition of it, I was scared to hear it. I guess that'll come at a later time. So then I went to Calc 2 and found out that instead of having 4 girls in the class, now only Alison and me are left. And there are about 12 people total now. I feel slightly depressed because I'd rather have early release, but I'm taking this class so I can remember math before SAT time and so that it looks good on my transcript...the catch is I don't want a B in this class. If it looks like I might be getting one, I might be really tempted to drop the class. Yes this would leave Alison to fend for herself, but she's smart enough to represent the girls on her own. But don't worry; I'll stick with it as long as I can. Oh you may wonder why I could drop this class....well I already took the SL test so I'm only taking it to refresh my memory...therefor getting a B in a class that isn't required would really irritate me.

Anyway, after school I had voice lessons. Lessons went well...I have 4 songs to learn...2 I've heard of and 1 of the 2 I've sung before (just to see if I liked it for NATS), but ended up liking another song instead. But I found out interesting things at voice lessons. First is that Ms. Butler gave out a syllabus for the classes....not horrible, but something we're not used to. Well in it, she stats what to wear, concert stuff...the usual...except for a few things. Well, she is requiring students to go on retreats and go to a classical choir concert at least once every tri. What I got from Sil was that you can't force students to do either one. You could get in major trouble for doing so. Also, I found out that the Christmas Concert is the same time as my cousin's wedding in Missouri. So not only will I be missing a DT practice...but also a choir concert, which she won't be happy about. So all in all, this encore year is going farely well.

Ok, interesting info number 2. Aloha is also doing "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940". Weird huh? And get this: they were going to do "Once Upon a Mattress" until Karen told them that we were doing it and said they really shouldn't do it. I guess they're just copy cats and jealous of the cool plays we get to do. Oh well.

I vistied Lenny this morning...or tried to. He told me when he was working so I went to Coffee Rush this morning and...he wasn't there. He was working, just not at the one he usually does. I might try to visit again tomorrow...but it depends on how much sleep I want.

Well, that's my day. The end.
