"that crazy violin chick!"

March 29, 2006 at 2:58 AM

How does one define a sucessful day? Getting up when your alarm clock goes off and only after hitting the snooze button once is a good start. Then, follow that with a couple of classes at school, one with a test that you felt good about and the part that stumped you and that you tried to sound like you knew what were writing about in your answer was only worth 2 marks out of 36. Following that test with the world's most boring class and while the teacher lectures, you get the homework assignment completed. Having a meeting for a talent week thing at school and having someone look through the people signed up and in reference to you have someone get all excited and exclaim "It's that crazy violin chick from last year!" and then to top it all off, have your English teacher tell you that you've done well and you have a realisation that you have no homework for the rest of the day and no more tests until Friday, that's the makings of a good day. On top of that, I've managed to practice some as well and I still have a few hours left in which I'll probably practice another hour or so before I go to bed. *sigh* 'tis the life!
