I seem to be in a rut right now. I'm not advancing in the violin. Maybe I'm just taking on music that's too hard. I don't know. But it really frustrates me. And with the stress of trying to finish my school year (I'm homeschooled.)and with my SAT coming up this June I'm starting to freak out.
I finally got to watch the movie Clue, from 1985. If I were in the movie and one of the weapons a violin. I guess I could be the murder. I can't believe I just dissed myself.
I want a better violin. If you would like to donate please e-maail me. Only joking, kind of.
So, I've been working at my job since last November. About a month ago there was a girl that started to work there. I didn't work with her until Friday. I then find out that I knew her when my family was in Japan. (Which was like 16 years ago, basically when I was born.) Then I find out that she plays flute. Then she said: "I challenge you to a flute duel." I said: "I'd lose horriblly." So I guess we'll have to schedule a flute duel. I don't know if we'll ever but it'll be cool to try. Since I've never played a flute duet with anyone. Why couldn't it be a violin duet.
I've been so busy but I have great news!
I'm in the Jazz Band! I'm so excited now I just have to learn how to play jazz. Yikes. Hopefully I won't get kicked out. Hopefully when we start putting out music I'll be able to let you hear some of it. We start recording this summer.

This is a link to the podcast which the jazz band comes from. The podcast is really funny. If you want something clean and funny to listen to, this is where you should be.
I finally recieved a tenant acceptance to Pensacola Christian College. (They're waiting for my SAT score, which isn't until June.) So here's a picture of it.
I love this sticker I don't know if I'll ever use it.
I might be able to join an online Jazz Band! I'm excited. I'll be playing piano I guess. Even though I could do violin, clarinet, or flute. Wish me luck. I have no clue how to play jazz. I'm in a lot of trouble if I make it then I can't figure out how to play jazz. The audition piece doesn't have to be jazz it just has to be you're best.
