choirs, choirs EVERYWHERE

On Friday, my choir performed at four schools so that young people could get a chance to here our choir. Oh my goodness, what crazyness. The people at the first school (a middle school) couldn't care less. You could tell they didn't want to be there. The next three schools were elementary schools. At the second school, the people there where a little better. They had less of the oh-my-gosh-this-is-so-boring attitude that the first school had. And the third school... oh my gosh. They actually asked for more. That's right! I heard kids shouting, "just one more!" I could hardly believe it! And the forth school was about the same as the second one.

So yeah, that's what kind of crazyness my choir has been up too......

Archery

Exciting news... I've started archery classes. It's AWESOME. I love it. There is something very satisfiying about hearing the string twang as you release the arrow, and hearing the arrow go thunk when it hits the target. It's hard, and the arrows don't always go where you want them to go, but still... I LOVE IT!

PUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!! The breeder email us, and she said that THE PUPPIES ARE BORN!! They were born on the 10th... so I guess they are 2 days old. They must be so small that they can fit in your hand. We will be able to take the puppy home sometime in the middle of July, I think. Oh my gosh I can hardly wait. :) We have a name picked out: Misha. (if that's how you spell it). Oh yeah, it's going to be great.

On another note: MORE VIOLIN TROUBLES. The tail piece on my violin decided that it was tired of being attached to my violin, so it popped off. *groan* That was on Wednesday. Unfortunately, I had to play my violin the next day (to prepare for a concert). My teacher came to the rescue: we traded violins for the day: he took mine and put a temporary tail piece on, while I borrowed his. Can you believe that? He actually lent me his violin. Anyway, we took my violin to the violin repairer shop today, and they put on a permanent tail piece on. But that wasn't the end of it. Right after that, one of my strings decided it didn't like the tail piece, and... yes! It popped off! In the middle of fiddle orchestra! *groans again* Luckly, someone there kindly fixed it, so I was able to play in class.

So, that was my adventure for today.........

20th post

This is my 20th post on this blog. Wow.... anyway.........

We had really weird weather today. First it was an overcast day, not raining, but not sunny... and then, a little while after lunch, we hear big, rumbling boom. Sure enough, it was thunder. Then it started raining buckets. This was the first thunder storm in... Oh, I don't know how long. I used to be scared of thunder, but not anymore. (I find thunder storms rather odd now: all the light and noise and the occasional fire started by lightening... all for the want of an electron! A microscopic particle! Strange, no?) Then, as if the weather wanted to prove that no one could ever understand it, the sun decided to come out. It's been shining ever since.

peace.
