Update that thing, kiddo.

"Hi. Today, I'm forcing myself to sit down and finally write a decent blogpost. Here goesssss."

Alright so... I have no clue when all the serious blogging stopped, but here are some recent events. :)

Auditions: I've been running back and forth between cities recently (my mom's getting mad about the price of gas, haha) to do auditions for universities... Percussionists are usually the last to go. However, this means that I haven't been accepted anywhere yet... I'm getting worried, haha. I'm not gonna get accepted anywhere!

TYWO Concert: April 8th was the last (Canadian) concert of the season. We didn't play much... Just Holst's The Planets Suite. Lol. In my opinion, it was pretty awesome. I mean, there were a lot of things that could have been improved, but it was good. We've got over a month to go before the Carnegie Hall trip, so there's lots of time to work on it. Another thing that could have been improved was probably our timing... We ended up being half an hour late, haha. The stage crew probably expected that though, we do this every year.

Spring Showcase: Was this past Thursday. It was a bittersweet concert... This is my second last performance of high school, the last time performing on the RHCPA, the last time being on that stage, the last time panicking about all the work to do... It was a lot of lasts for me. I'm sure the Finale will be even sadder... But it was a good concert, you know? Everything went pretty smoothly (possible exceptions being rebellious niners and our time issues) and some of us went for bubble tea after- something that has become somewhat a tradition in our department. Wind Ensemble and Senior Jazz did especially well... It wasn't our best, but it was good. We've had a good run, seniors. Just Shoeless Joe's and the Finale to go!

Ultimate: Our first Ultimate Frisbee tourney was yesterday. Thanks to some "expert coaching" (hahaaaaaa, thanks Matt!) I finally (sort of) got the hang of the game. It was a thrill, finally doing some sort of sport again after so long (haven't done anything of the sort since grade 8...!) We played against Newmarket, Markville, St. Augustine's, Thornhill and Milliken Mills. I ran into some guy in the middle of the St. A game though... And wasn't allowed to play after that. Sigh. I feel like I've let a lot of people down... Anywho, we played well, but there were definitely things we could have improved on. Rephrase, there were tons of things I could have improved on. Time for me to get training... Oh jeez, I've got a long way to go. But YEAH. GOOOOOOOOO BAYVIEW.

And that's... all that I really feel is important enough to be on here, haha. Not much has changed otherwise. Life is still crazy, parties go on every day (I think that's just because my friends and I party non-stop, haha) and uhh... Things are still messed up. Some things are the same, some things are different. But c'est la vie, oui?

goodbye

P.S- Jealousy is an ugly thing. More on that later. (This is a note to myself to post more on that later. DO IT, MANDY. DO IT.)
