End of Summer

Well, here it is. The night before the first day of my senior year. This summer felt so long, and yet so short. Here's my review of the summer:

I did write my Extended Essay, and it's not too terribly bad

I've gotten most of one of my compositions written

I've got some other random ideas for the second one and the third one I haven't even thought about yet

I did no work at all on my IB Music comparitive paper

I managed to visit 4/5 clarinet professors at the colleges I'm thinking about attending

I found out that I got into All-State

I've got some good clarinet music to work on for my college auditions

My clarinet teacher and I decided what solos we'd look at this year

I took a lot of time to relax and do nothing

I watched Disney movies, Psych season one, All three seasons of House, and on Friday nights watched the current episodes of Psych

I actually spent some time with friends outside of Band Camp

I went to Freshmen Intros and survived. And I learned the names of the freshmen

Band camp went prety well. It had it's ups and downs, as did I

And my drum majors didn't totally rebel against me when I was being a jerk for no reason (usually when I'm a jerk, there's a reason)

I read some books that I really wanted to read

I got my liscense

I was actually able to make it to Youth Group a couple of times

I re-discovered the fact that I have the most amazing family and friends in the world

I survived 2 major near mental/emotional breakdowns

That was my summer
