Happy Birthday, Mom!

To the best Mom I've ever had!

(Of course, she's the only one I've had, but that is beside the point.)

Mom has supported me through all my changing of decisions and plans. She listens and gives her opinion like mothers do so well.

She has taught me how to be silly and enjoy a humor-filled life.

Without her, I certainly wouldn't be who I am. Our family would be a bag of nuts without any shells.

She has set examples for me- of how to cook, how to learn, how to love music, how to bug my older brothers... the important things in life!

Mom, thanks for being my mom!
Happy (ahem)th Birthday!
I love you!

Week of Concerts

Last week was my week of concerts! I had two Women's Choral Ensemble performances and a band concert. Most of the performances were good. There was one mishap during a Women's Choral Ensemble performance, but it can't be perfect all the time!

I'm really excited to continue performing next term in both Women's Ensemble and in Concert Band. I've had such a taste for both that I never want to give them up! Surprisingly enough, I love playing the piccolo! I almost would jump at the chance to play piccolo on any piece. Next term is going to have some tough pieces on flute and piccolo in Concert Band. Bring it on!

Advising Needs Some Advising

Okay... Registration for next term has started, and I guess I should have gone in to get my pin earlier than I did. But did I really have to stand around waiting for and HOUR and a HALF?!?!?! I watched so many people come in after me and get called before me! The advisers who would call people in would flip through the forms we had to fill out and choose one. Seriously, can't they just call the people in order of arrival? I know they are busy with registration and all, but is that too much to ask?

Thanks to standing for ever, I'm now headed to my concert tired and a little grouchy. Sheesh!
