Raise the Roof

I've noticed these past few days, I've been getting irritated or extremely annoyed easily. For instance - Zach told me not to do anything stupid, so we can hang out this weekend. NOW THAT REALLY MADE ME MAD. I was like "So you just expect me to do something stupid and get grounded?!?!" HES THE ONE GETTING GROUNDED FOR GRADES, Shoot, I have all A's so far ;P  Erg. So thats one issue. 

And school, is really bugging me. Choir- WE NEED A BREAK. We've been working our butts off all year. She said after the WCDA, we would get a few days break, and what do we get? Half a day of no singing! Then, we worked our butts off for Choral Fest, which was Saturday, and she said we would get a break after that. We got yesterday off. Erg. But I do admit, it was pretty darn amazing - Choral Fest. It is where all the high school and all the 8th grade choirs get together and sing 4 songs together, and each school sang a solo tune. Mahone was the first do to our solo. And at this thing, we have a guest conductor, who conducts us all, minus the solo tunes. He is the conductor and Lawerence College or something in Northern Wisconsin. He's a big shot ;) So he knows all. And when he heard Mahone sing alone, his jaw immediatley dropped in amazement. Then our teacher told us how all the directors took him out Sunday night for dinner. And he was randomly talking, and brings up this -
  "You should have heard this middle school choir sing. They were AMAZING. I've never heard anything like them." And our teacher just sat there quietly. And the teacher next to her goes points to our teacher and goes "That was her choir!" And Richard Bjella (the guest conductor) screams "OH MY GOSH. THEY WERE AMAZING" 
Our teacher said he looked like he was gonna kiss her he was so amazed. Hehe.  I'd say we raised the roof ;)

Ready for High School?

I got my high school courses sheet yesterday :) It's pretty exciting actually. It's over-whelming, but it finally seems like its here! Its reality. I'm going to be in high school next year. No denying it. But when you finally get all the sheets, it feels real. You learn about the credits. For my high school, you need atleast 26 credits to graduate. And to graduate with your Honors Diploma, 16 of those 26 credits must be honors classes. I'm proud to say I'm going for it :D Already, my freshman year I'm taking 4 honors classes. I'm debating whether to take 5. Right now I'm at Geometry, Biology and Literature & Comp. Honors, oh and I'm taking Choir Honors xD I'm debating whether to take U.S. History honors. I don't think I will though. I already have enough trouble paying attention and liking that class. Then I'm going to take French 101, or maybe Italian, not sure.... But I think French ;) Then my senior year I get to go to Paris! And I may possibly take summer gym. :O How weird. But then you don't have it during the school year, you don't get all hot and sweaty. And then during the year, when you would have had gym, you can take an extra elective to get 8.5 credits! P.E. is half a credit. And an elective such as Communications or something is half a credit. I think I'm going to take that too. It sounds cool. It deals with photography, video cameras, and computers for designing things. I'm excited. I'm glad that most of my classes with be only freshman, except Choir Honors and my elective that I choose. So that's a plus. I'm not ready to be around all those older people. 
It kind of sucks. You go from the oldest, the highest, to the youngest, and most scared. Look at all the 8th graders picking on little 6th graders. Imagine SENIORS!!!
But luckily I'll know a few juniors. So that could help a little, or maybe alot?!


That's about it. This week seems to be going very slow... Blah  Post more later.


Oh! And Zach got his braces off :) I still haven't seen them though. He just got them off today.
Wednesday: I saw them! They are pretty :) His teeth are perfect. Now mine look bad lol
