Spring break is finally here. WOO! :D

So, Being the unproductive person I am, I decided to do something productive. And since I haven't really spent a whole lot of time with my grandpa lately, I decided to spend the day with him, and it was worth it. I forget how much fun it is to spend with him, minus his complaining. xD

My grandpa is 83 years old, and can still walk at least 2 miles every day. Which in fact he does--at the mall with his lady friend. xD Still, it's beyond me how he does it. To my point, you don't know when someone is going to go, and if it comes to that, you don't want to be wishing that you had spent more time with them, or just taken the time to call. Plus I really love my grandpa, and it is fun to hang out with him.

So we went to Missouri Botanical Gardens today because 1.) we went there all the time when I was little and have a lot of memories there and 2.) he really likes that place. And I don't mind. After that he took me out to lunch to an Italian restaurant called Zia's. And then we were going to go to the Zoo, but we would have had to walk really far from the closest parking place and he didn't want to do that, so we didn't. It doesn't make sense coming from a man who walks 2 miles every morning, but whatever. ^^;

Another thing I haven't mentioned yet is that my grandpa likes to talk. ;D But I love it because he always talks about how it was when he was a kid and such, so I feel like I get to know him more, and sometimes he just needs someone that will listen to him.

Even though I didn't get to sleep in, and mind you I DO like my sleep, it was a good day. :]

I am so mad/frustrated/humiliated/disappointed/ticked off at the moment. I don’t know how else to say it.

I was a part of an ensemble for a contest and we performed today. We sang a relativley easy song, there wasn’t any impossible high notes to hit or rediculous words we had to memorize. It was only about 3 minutes long, that’s not to much to ask for is it? Apparently so.

Even though we were supposed to have six people in our group, we had five–two 1st sopranos, two 2nd sopranos, and one alto. Our alto didn’t even show up. We had to perform without her, which was horrible because our alto holds our 2nds together. There is a point in the song that the 2nds and the alto have a solo, per say, they didn’t even sing it because they didn’t know the words, so it was silent. Silent.

Our music director didn’t measure our music for the judge, so points were deducted from that, 3 of the girls sang the wrong verse at the wrong time, our alto wasn’t there, and we only performed one song because our choir director thought we weren’t ready for the other one–so we were disqualified. And it just went worse from there.

My friend called me and told me that our group got a 4, and the lowest you can get is a 5. And it sucks that a few people would just ruin the whole thing for the whole group. When I do something, I want to do it well. I don’t want to look like stupid in front of an audience.

When you take a part in a contest, or anything of this kind of sorts, you don’t just go in and expect everyone else to do all the work for you. You can’t just think along the lines of, “Oh, if I forget the words, no big deal, so-and-so will remember them!” Things like that just really tick me off.

Needless, to say, I am definatley picking a better group next year who will actually give there best for this and won’t set it at the bottom of their priority list.

Hey, after only a couple months over at Choseit.com, I decided to switch to a different website, so here we are! :D You'll have to bear with me until I get everything back to normal, but so far I really like it at Weebly. :]

Hopefully I'll be a bit more organized on this site, and I even already feel more organized. I think it's a bit more classy I guess you could say. And when they put those ads on the other site, that just tipped me over.

But, here we are! That blog was really kind of pointless... just saying. :]
