Busy, as usual

I know I've been slacking off in my posts, but I have an excuse. I have been really busy. But that probably doesn't suprise anyone.

Here's an update on my New Year's Resolutions:

-Practice the clarinet more
Well, that hasn't worked out too well. It's still variable how much practicing time I get in each day. That's really disappointing to me since I'm going into music and all, but some things - like IB- just can't be helped

-Walk the dog ever single day
Once again, it's hit and miss. I've been doing it more often, but when it's really cold outside, I just can't seem to get myself out the door.

-Cut back on soda
As if anyone really thought that I could do that anyways. In my defense, I havebeen drinking a lot more "healthier" drinks, including lots of juices with vitamin C

- Make sure I relax and not completely stress out over IB
That's impossible.

- Go to Bio/English on time
I've been doing it!!! And it's highly exciting showing up for class on time!!

In other news:

This week I've completed 3 major things. I did my English oral commentary on Wednesday. It went really well. Meaning, of course, that I could have done better, but it wasn't horendous. I got an extract from Dubliners, specifically A Little Cloud. Then on Thursday I did my Spanish oral presentation. I was so unbelievably nervous! I managed to get through Part 1 without any problems and parts 2/3 were ok. I threw grammar out the window in the last 2 parts. And today I had my All-County auditions, which I was using as a practice for my college auditions. It went really well. I loved my judge! She was really nice, and talked with me for a while about myself, and other music teachers that we both knew. It was great! She hadn't heard the solo before either, so that may ahve helped a little. I ended up with a 100!! Plus, the judge gave me her business card so I could contact her with any questions!

So now over the rest of break, I need to clean-up both of my World Lit Papers and my HOA IA and finish up some Bio work. And do a litle something called practicing.

I've got my first college audition next Friday! I'm a little nervous, but I'm doing the same piece that I just did for All-County so I'm feeling pretty confident. Plus now that I know how I sound on it when I get nervous, I know what to work on!

And I can't wait for the band trip to Florida!!! It's going to be so exciting!!!!
