Anyway, I'll start off with the non-music things. Did anyone else watch the shuttle launch this morning? Personally, I love everything about space flight, and so getting to watch the 'return to flight' was really amazing for me.
On Thursday night, a girl whom my family almost took in as a foster child will be coming over for a while. She's great fun, and she and I have a strange relationship. This is because she is completly deaf (that would be so hard for me) and I know very little sign language. So communication is done almost completly through facial expression (unless my mom is willing to translate).
On to music- After two months of no new music (pieces, scales, etudes, ...) my teacher suddenly gave me a whole lot of stuff to work on.
POPS is great. Our second and last concert is next Sunday. Over the past four weeks, I've been moved from 10th chair, to 8th, to 4th and now I'm sitting 3rd chair. And, as far as I know, I won't be moving again this season, which is good.
School starts in a week and a half. I'm taking Orchestra, Music Theory, Orchestra, AP English, Algebra 3-4, and Physics. I will also be working in the school's music library which will be really fun (I happen to really like sorting, cataloging, and organizing scores...)
