Ok, so now for a little update on my life for October and November:
Gr.9 music retreat- it was so much fun just leaving school and spending time with Markham music =) . I roomed with Tamara once again and we had our little horny bonding there *wink wink*
honour band - it was great, met some awesome people. This year it was in Olympia Sports camp ...in the middle of no where basically. We lived in cabins, walked on mud, experienced cold and rainy mornings...but I guess meeting the people was all worth it. I roomed with my horn section and it was a blast!! Wow...what an experience - we made fun of each other so much, laughed and whined and just loved each other, hahaha. We had names for everyone; i was "grumpy pants" cuz i always woke up the latest out of everyone, and was so grumpy in the morning...hahaha. The food there was acceptable but the thing they lacked was ffruits and vegetables...thank goodness i brought my own fruits! Their food was really greasy too and they served so much bread, too much carbs and calories for mee! =) But the weak went by quickly. Everynight Katherine, Jo and I would venture out into the wilderness when it was pitch darkness and go to the phone booths to call our loved ones....it's so freaky at night - it's basically just...black...omgsh and with all the trees and random cabins around you, just freaks you out. No one brought flash lights which made it even freakier...though in two nights the sky was clear, and when you looked up, you could see the magnificant sight of stars ( i saw mars) and it just made you less scared. I was always the last one to be sleeping and the last one to wake up, mwuahahaha. I got the privlege to sleep in a queen size bed. Yes, the cabins have 2 queen sized beds and two bunk beds. The horns decided to play a little fair game of rock paper scissors to see who got the queen sized beds, and i won! hahaha. So yes, got this big bed for myself but i wasn't used to it at all- used to my single at home...
There was Tuesday night i think, where i had to sleep in Kat and Jo's cabin cuz i was telling them ghost stories late night, and when i wanted to leave, we looked out the window and saw some guy standing in the dark so i had to sleep with kat and jo on the queen bed. It was so crammed and i slept in the middle...haha..so awful, the worst sleep ever, i could barely move =P but it's ok, at least i wasn't sleeping alone! The rest of the week was pretty ok i guess...and unfortunately i had to be stuck with tamara's mouth piece and another horn for the whole week! It was so hard to adjust and literally, it took me the whole week to adjust to it. I played crap and i felt crap cuz of it. I felt i was always out of tune and my sound wasn't even good. I could barely play high cuz the mouthpiece didn't even fit me..but i survived. Oeuf! The week was over, and i survived...and now i'm just catching up on my school stuff, and sadly, not doing well in anything! *sigh* so sad....
