I'm so sad. I'm now starting my blog on a different site. If you would like to keep up with it here's the link:

Mean Bunnies

So, my sister and I went and visted some friends who were camping. Suddenly there were these rabbits that kept running past their dog who was tied up. Eventually two of them ran up and sat about 5 feet from the dog. It was so mean. One of them even started grooming itself.

Strads.....Community Orchestra

June 13, 2008 13:41

I was listening to a violin recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. The violinist had a Strad...although it didn't sound so superb as I thought it would. I think it might have been me having a greater expectation of the strads that I might have thought it to sound way better than normal.

I have also been pondering joining a local orchestra. Although I'm not sure if I'm good enough. How do I know....I mean I'm not a super good player but I am an excellent sight reader. So that would be an advantage.
Edit* I forgot to ask what's the best way of looking for a community orchestra?

I finally took the SAT! I think I did ok....hopefully. If any of you out there could comment with your score and gpa of that year. It would boost my confidence.

SAT's!!!!!!!!!!

June 6, 2008 20:51

SAT's are tomorrow! Yikes! I guess it's too late for any advice. Wish me luck I guess. I need to score 1200 to get into the college I want to get into. I don't think it'll be too hard.

ORGAN!!!!!

June 1, 2008 16:08

I was asked to accompany a family in our church to an assisted living facility. I was supposed to play piano. Then I found out that I was going to play organ....I don't know how to play organ. It was an interesting experience. So I have decided to add it to my musical repitoire. I now play 13 instruments! Hopefully I will add two more this summer...that's my goal.
