art test

mr g is back from his convention. we watched our tape today and it was not very good quality. we sounded fine, i guess. it was better in real life. i had an art (visual art) test today. it was simple, about pop art

Quintet

We practiced in our quintet today from 2:30 to 5. Yay! Ms. H and Ms. S heard us and then Ms Henry taped us playing. it didn't sound so good on the tape. mr. D (band teach) gave us constructive criticism and then while we were waiting to leave we did funny gymnastical stuff.

SUNDAY

Today we went to church, then shopping, then to Mom's vestry meeting, then to a candlelight service at Lincoln Park, and then home! We are having mac n' cheese for dinner. I got my candlelight to last from the park to the car!

Saturday

Today we will see The Twins + Francie. I am soOOOO excited! I like to see them. I awoke at 7 o clock this morning, but stayed in bed reading Teen Vogue and the script of Little Miss Sunshine and listened to Paganini's Caprices until 9. We had zephyr pancakes. Greg is in Philly.

Shopping

I skipped Mod 5 (creative arts) today with mommy, and went shopping at Bowie Town Center! I bought a purse at Old Navy, and a TeenVogue from Barnes and Noble. The purse had originally been 12.99, then it was 4.99, and I bought it for 3.99! Yay! It is a blue and white stripe biggish clutch.

More Orchestra Talk

There has been gossip about getting kicked out of Symphony. Today the 2nd cello came over to my friend Lu (cello), and said "You better practice your music, unless you want to get the boot" then she said "were you there when we were talking about it?" and lu nodded, and the other girl smiled. I am not intimidated, because I know that only mr. G can kick kids out, and pree and lu said that after the last class, the 1st and 2nd cellos had been talking about who they wanted to leave, and they wanted to get rid of me, but pree and lu said no, and mr g said that I am the most hard working student in the orchestra, and that he would never kick me out. (this is what pree and lu said, I did not hear this myself). then today in orch. he let us work on our Solo & Ensemble music while he called us in individually to hear us. and then he took his grade book and went into his office. Our group got together, and Mr. G called in about 10 students to hear, including my stand partner (4th chair). We played our Presto a couple of times, and we found it to loud to play Canon. Then the first girl who was listened to came out of the office, and she said that we had to play him pieces from the concert, so I went and told that to my group, and we decided to play Hallelujah Chorus, since Mr. G says that it is not one of our best songs. We started playing, just the 5 of us, and it got a little quieter, some kids turned and stared, then it got a little louder in the room, and we were about 14 msrs through. then mr g came storming out of his off ice and bellowed "Don't you dare play that song!" as soon as he stepped out of his office it became quiet, and it was silence for a little while after he went back in. everyone was staring at us. then students began practicing again, and i told my group that he just didn't want us to play it because it was too good. they agreed, and we continued to play. at the end of class, Mr. G came and said that everyone who he called in that day could play, but they didn't play with maturity. No one in my group was listened to, so i think that that is a good sign. he will hear our groups play on Monday.

At the concert

At the concert we played (an excerpt of) Concerto in D Major, Night Shift, Jupiter, The Nutcracker, Winter, and The Hallelujah Chorus. My stand partner and i didn't think that it was that bad at the time, but after the concert I knew that it was not the best it could have been, and today all we did during class was be talked to on how to improve and how other people are better than us. Did I say yesterday that i hurt my thumb? I smashed it between a door and a wall and it was swelling but then it was fine and then during the concert I showed my stand partner that it was swelling and it was a funny color. Then Manny saw and he taped it up.then today my thumb turned gray and at lunch we asked manny how tight it was supposed to be because when he taped it he said that it was supposed to be really tight and he said he didnt know but he might have done it too tight and it was supposed to really help and i said that it did but i thought that it was too tight and he said he didnot have any more and pree was upset and he said why do you excpect me to carry stuff for (my name)? and she said because he rolls like that.

Concert

Me groggily: Hello?

Lucia: Okay, I was wondering about the Language homework...

Locker

There was a locker raid today... on my locker. Now there is no lock and my history textbook is gone. I am sad that this was a bad day.

Sweet Potatoes

Monday

Happy Monday! Today at school I was very hyper, so During History class I was bouncing in my chair. As Ms. O passe dout our quizzes, the following happened:
Ms. O staring at me: What's up SpazChild
Me: nothing!
Ms. O: What, did you have coffee for breakfast?
Me: No, Frosted Flakes!
(assorted laughter from classmates)
Aaron groaning: Even worse!
Sierra: Just a tip, don't eat sugar for breakfast.

I honestly didn't think it was that funny.
I guess I thought wrong.

Art

Today there was a sub in art class. We didn't do much work. we got to choose our own seats. I chose what I am gonna be for Halloween, so stay tuned...

Bored

I feel bored. I do not like weekends, because without my friends I get bored. There is nothing to talk about with my family.

White Africans

Yesterday in History Class we were talking about early slavery in Africa and the Americas. Then my family came into conversation because someone raised their hand and asked if you had to be black to be African and right then Ms. T came in and said "Noooo." Then Ms. O started to talk aout my mom and how she's a White African, so I am a White African, too! [that is what ms. T said anyhow] I guess that's one thing Charlize Theron and I have in common. So then I was happy because I was different and I came home and told mom the whole story, and how whenever anyone says anything about Charlize Theron, I remember the picture of her in a green dress with black straps, and I remember thinking that her eyebrows are so much darker than her hair, and mom bursted my bubble by saying that white Africans basically started slavery from Africa to the Americas. Hmmph. Then we had Peruvian chicken for dinner, and today I am going to the mall.

Today

Today was church. Then we went to the CHAW cast party. It was fine. We didn't have cake and ice cream, we had brownies and water. :( I am tired. At least tomorrow I have school.

Well..,

So much has happened lately. As a spur-of-the moment decision, I tried out for cheerleading. I think I did well, but I don't think I made the team. Squad? Team? Whatever. Now my muscles hurt. The tryouts were two days in a row: Thursday and Friday. Tonight is game night. We will probably go. I am playing Beethoven with my private teacher now. A boy in my orchestra didn't believe that he was a good teacher when I told him, so I made Aaron come over to convince him.

Orchestra

Orchestra is my new favorite class. I really like it better this year. The music we are playing has a fast part, the viola's get a it of a solo, and it is not too easy, and not too hard. I like all of these things.

Labor Day

Yippee for no school today, I guess. We may go to BTC for Old Navy's t sale this afternoon. I feel better today.
