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 ;)
