That was the easiest test I think I had ever taken. I got a 20 out of 20, and my permit will be comming in the mail in 3-5 weeks ( I have a paper one now).

Luckly... the snow cleared up a lot.

So tomorrows the day, 16 years old. And at 10 am I will be going to take my permit test. I am not as nervious as I think I should be, but I am confident seeing I have read the book fully twice. And have taken the online tests flawlessly. I just hope that the weather is good enough for me to drive in..

7 days...

A week is left until my 16th birthday. I have also recently discovered that it is an extremely busy day for me. I have school, a half an hour tuba lesson, an hour violin lesson and I want to get my permit too...

I am not sure when I am going to do it though, I guess you are allowed to leave during lunch to do that, I think I might.

Happy Presidents day!.... I just ordered a violin book, and it seems I always order my violin stuff around federal holidays... Last one was my case around Gerald Ford Rememberance day and New Years.

I have a snow day too!!!!

February 14, 2007 12:11

As many people across New England I have a snow day today too! The second one in 2 weeks! I was much more excited for the last one than this one.

Today was supposed to be the first rehearsal for the pit of our school musical Once upon a Mattress and they haven't even given me music yet! Our musical is in less than a month and no rehearsals have been made yet (this is the second one canceled). Plus the cast hasn't even finished the first act yet.

In other news our orchestra's student concerto competition is over, well at least the deadline is up. I didn't audition though, though I am not even sure I should have seeing I am an orchestra member. oh well.

12 days to my 16th Birthday!!!!

I'm Straussed out.

February 11, 2007 08:15

Yesterday concluded the one ball my orchestra does a year. And despite the $75 ticket price about 100 people showed up, there was a 120 people limit. We played out 20 pieces, and out of those 20 pieces I think about 15 were Strauss.

I could go without Playing another Strauss for a while.
