Excitement and headaches 2
Yo.
Well, I just have to say that I was dragged off to orchestra this morning. And I was pretty hyped up for it too, as I had been waiting for 2 long terms to be leader. I'm the oldest (probably), I have the highest grade, and I had the most experience. So I HAD to be the new leader... right?
So I went. I smiled at the teacher, talked to her, and all this other stuff that pains me to think about it. But she picked a 10 year old to replace me. WHAT?!?! Just coz she JUST passed her exam, doesn't mean she's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Well, in Jane's (the teacher's) world it makes sense, and lots of people agree with her: the magical fairies that live in her garden and come for tea...... Maybe I should say to her one day, "LOOK, I'm 14 years old, I've been going here for 6-7 years, I'm grade 5, I should be leader!!! Now, has this information penetrated what we laughingly call your BRAIN???" ........she'd probably wouldn't get the message anyway.
So I vowed NEVER to go again. But of course, next week I'll be dragged back there again.
Now for excitement.
Well, I got a Count Duckula annual in the post today. I would have read it all in one go, but my Dad wanted to take me along with him to drop my brother off......somewhere. And just for the record, I get carsick if I try to read in cars, so that spoilt my fun.
Just as I finished reading it (at home, this is), my Dad said we were going out again. So I came along. I thought he was going to collect my brother, but when we got there, I found out we had to LISTEN to him play on the violin with some boring group!!!!!!!! Thankfully, I brought along Dracula (ah, that faithful book. Where would I be without it?) and read it all the way through.
So, this has been a rather balanced day.
Goodnight out there, whatever you are................
