c'mon get [ meta ] physical!

6-1-'o1: 3:33pm

the last day of ib music passed without many strong emotions...but i will say that we finally had class at burger ranch. and it was wonderful. i am going to miss that class SO much.

i was supposed to go to dennys with the breakfast club this morning for like, the only time this year...but it was like 6:15am and my ride still hadn't come. i called her house and her mom told me she'd left a long time ago...so i waited a little longer and finally just left for school, figuring that if she was really that late that she'd see me walking and pick me up. it ended up that she'd just forgotten...but that's ok. i needed to go over something anyway [ the aesthetics of music ], and this morning was a good time to do it.

i walked into the band room, though, and laughed.

"nice shirt, mr ormson!"

"ohhhh yeah...." he said without looking at me. i laughed, and he looked over at me. "hey!"

we were wearing the same exact shirt. national concert band festival '01, baby!

if i could pick one tune to sum up my senior year, it would be "the first circle" by pat metheney. i think that whenever i hear this song, from now on, i will remember my senior year. the ave maria we did in both choir and wind ensemble comes in at a close second. it's not like i even played first circle...it's just that even when i hear it now i get nostalgic for the school year. it's crazy. four more school days...holy crap.

my recital last night actually went really well. i'd have to say that i played one of the most difficult pieces of music...i'm not saying that like "haha, i'm so much better than everyone else"...i think it's kind of weird, actually. i wouldn't think that she'd give me that difficult of a piece. anyway, i actualy didn't suck at it, as well. for the first time i can rememeber, i was relaxed as i played the solo. i didn't freak out or anything. maybe i'm getting over my solo-jitters! i hope so...it's irritating to tell you the truth. sherry has a lot of younger students, though, and they were so adorable...one girl had a sparkly headband and i told her that it was the prettiest headband i had ever seen [ it was! ] and that she played very very well...she was so shy, though, she just thanked me and ran off. maybe she was afraid of me. there was also this little boy i talked to...he played very well...and he had a half size! gosh, it's been sooo long but i can remember when i played a half size. it's hard to believe now!

and now, all that's left is the orchestra concert on monday. it's...surreal. to think that today was my last friday of high school...i hadn't even thought about it until this morning. i insisted that we sing the friday song in orchestra...larsen didn't seem to want to but he even joined in with us at the end of class. i think it troubled us all to a certian extent...but i couldn't leave without singing the friday song a last time.

now, we're getting bombarded with some definitely strange weather. summer storms. there were brush fires out on the site [ again?! ] so my dad may not be home for quite awhile. i'm going to go see the female version of "the odd couple" that our school is putting on tonight...i'm excited. the drama department has grown so much...and i must say that russ and larsen choose excelent plays.

until then....laziness. ahhhhhhh.
