Who I Annoyed Today: February 2008

Tonight I had Solo Night at my school. A few months ago, we picked out songs that we would play for our solos. I picked "Cajun Dance." After we picked out our solo, we had about a month to practice it. Sounds simple right. Wrong.

I had plenty of time to practice, but I needed to print up another copy of my song, so the judge could know I was playing everything right. Thats right, I was going to play in front of a judge. The only problem is that I slack too much.

Solo night came and I had to go to my school at 4:00 to perform in an ensemble (group). After that, I went home till 7:00, when I got back, I had to 'judge' two solos. Then it would be my turn to perform. I got to school at 4:00, and performed no sweat... ok there was a lot of sweat but can you blame me!? I have hyperH2O for cryin' out loud! After the performance I went home... just to realize I had forgotten my binder that had my solo in it at the school, and still needed to print my extra solo for the judge. My mom told me that I couldn't go get it until the kitchen was finished. Thirty minute job right? Wrong. It took two hours for me to finish the dishes because I work so slowly, and was feeling especially slacky that day. After that I quickly grabbed my drum-sticks and ran to the car. When we got back to the school, I realized I had lost one of the drum-sticks in the car when we were driving to the school. I ran in and got my binder after some time of vigorous searching. Then went home to print the copy.

When I got back to the school I still needed to 'judge' my two people. There were only two people left before me (crap) and I didn't have a pen. I was finally able to sneak a pen out of an un-weary mothers purse (went up and polititely asked for a pen). I 'judged' my two kids then performed. Apparently I did very well, and my mother got most of my performance on film. I then turned in my 'judging slip' so that I could keep my A in Percussion. I am so gonna get my drum-set (my parents told me that if I get a 4.0 for a whole semseter they will buy me a drumset).
