Let it snow!
Hello -
I'm sorry that I forgot to update for over a week.
Last Sunday (1/14) was really busy. I got up, went to church (sang in the choir), then went to lunch. I then went back to church for a religious medal meeting. After that meeting I had to bolt to get to Westfield HS for my MLK day performance. My group was the first on. They got our song and director wrong. The opening people yakked so much that we sat down on the risers! When we got done, I went to stand in the back until I saw that there were seats. I finally did find a seat.
That concert was LONG!!! It started at 4 pm and wasn't done until after 6:30 pm. There were a bunch of school groups (like mine) but there were also some individuals and some step teams that shouldn't have been in the program. Something that i thought was very odd (and rude) was that people left after their performance of interest was done. At one point the man I was sitting next to said "did somebody say fire?". Afterward, my mom said that if she had been sitting with me we would have left too. I felt bad for the groups at the end that had the least number of people to watch them perform.
On MLK day I did some neatening and cleaning/ironing. Nothing much of importance happened during that week.
This past Saturday I finished up a little bit of homework. In the afternoon my mom and I went out selling cookies, and only found one person at home. We couldn't stay out that long because my mom had somplace to be at 4 that she had to leave at 3:30. My dad and I went to Chili's that night for dinner.
This past Sunday morning my mom and I went to church. I served. We went to lunch because of a WorkCamp meeting. As we were going over there it started to snow! After we were done eating we went to Target to kill some time. We were back to the church early, so my mom wanted to clean up the choir cables. She didn't realize that there were baptisms, so we went around outside to the sacristy to re-organize the altar server robes. We got that done ten minutes before our meeting was supposed to start. Everybody was late because of the snow. We had our meeting, and then we went back to clean up the cables. When we were leaving the youth minister and her husband (a chaperon for the guys and ex-youth minister at the church) were leaving as well. It was still snowing. We had to scrape the snow off our cars. Mom noticed that we needed to get gas, so we stopped. I had gone in to the store to get a beverage and snack. As I was coming out my mom was coming in, saying she couldn't get her gas door open. So she got screw drivers, and with me pulling the lever inside the car she was able to get it open. After that ordeal, it took us forever to get home. All told, it probably took us an hour and 20 minutes to do an ordinarily 20-30 minute trip. The reason was because of the snow there were delays/accidents all over the place.
Yesterday morning we had a 2 hour delay. Yay!!! It took our bus 40 minutes to do an ordinarily 10-15 minute trip. The road was a sheet of ice, so everybody was creeping, and some of the smaller cars probably got stuck/stalled (that was the case in the other direction). My bus driver kept his window open and kept telling people going the opposite direction that.
As a result of the roads being a mess, my history teacher was able to get almost no review done. He had to move our quest back another day. It will be interesting to see how far behind we are when it gets down to SOL time.
Today was yet another boring A day. I did not like Physics this morning because we were going over a whole bunch of activities that I didn't understand and I got almost all of the answers wrong. In English because we had a sub we actually did quite a bit. It was amazing!!! We worked the whole time in choir on our French piece.
Today after school I had to finish up Algebra work that I forgot to do for yesterday, and do some major Algebra studying, as well as History studying. I discovered today that there is more work for the stories in Spanish than I thought. UUGGH.
Tonight I am probably going to finish up a journal entry (I have a notebook where I write stories or on topics, not a daily journal), read, and definitely watch Gilmore Girls. I don't have to take a shower because I took one yesterday evening (CCD was canceled).
Sorry if I rambled on too much for you.
