So the day didn't start out all that well, as I woke up so tired. I did, however, get to sleep in. That's always a plus. I got ready, and I organized my music, so I was prepared. Nöel took us to school, and it was nice. Right away we got to work helping set up the orchestra room. We went through our concert music after the bell rang, and then spent the last few minutes practicing Sleigh Ride. We didn't get to play it last year because 1) we sucked at it and 2) the band was going to play it and they didn't want to share. Oh wait. We almost played it. We didn't have enough time, and all of us firsts were glad. It's super hard for first violins, as there is a lot of shifting into really high positions.
After orchestra was APUS. I liked it, but some people didn't. We worked in groups, and I was so thankful because I didn't have to work with Lesli. It's been really weird and awkward with her. I honestly don't want to deal with her anymore, and I guess the universe decided I don't have to. So thank you for that.
Lunch was spent in te MESA room doing test corrections which I had Katrina deliver to Mrs. Kleczka. Then ari and I went to Spanish. I started writing a really good story on the iPad's we were using. I always start a story on one when I use them in the hopes that someone will continue the story. I'm not sure I want someone else to finish what I started. Maybe I'll post what I wrote here. I don't know.....I guess if I get enough people asking for it, I'll post it here. Otherwise I'll just write it and then post a link to the finished story. But that most likely won't happen for a very long time. Oh well.
I almost fell asleep in cs today. Please don't be mad. I was just so drained from my lack of sleep and all I was doing was running tests. It was SOOOO boring. I was glad to get away.
Right after we got home, our mom took us to get the supplies needed for our monthly get together with awesome people. We didn't plan it all that well, as we didn't get home until about half an hour before the actual thing was supposed to start. Ari and I set to work getting the gifts done. This month was to celebrate birthdays, so we got champagne glasses that say Happy Birthday on them and filled them with candy. Noor, Tasha, and Jen all have birthdays in September and October in the case of Jen. So we got them candy that they like. Mom would let us go to the potluck without salad, so she made fruit salad while Ari made the regular salad. Then we were off.
It was a little awkward for us when we first got there. Ari and I had to familiarize ourselfs with everyone there again, as it had been a few weeks since we last saw them. Soon, though, we slid back into ease and comfort with them. We ate and talked and had a good time. Once dinner was over, we decided to play a game called Reverse Charades. Sam had to leave, sadly, so we had two teams of four. The rules of the game are simple. One person holds the phone (the game is an app), and the rest of the team has to act out whatever is on the phone so the person can guess. It was so much fun. Our group was called ATAM since our group was Ari, Tasha, me (Ana), and Marie. We were pretty good. We won the first game, but Jen's team won the second round. Her team was comprised f her, Noor, Nicole, and Susi. It was so funny watching them. I almost owed myself from laughing so hard at their guesses and acting. Our team was ahead on the third round, but we had to leave. It was sad. We handed out the gifts and the extra candy for the closest birthdays, and they thanked us. They loved it. They were wondering how we stuffed so much candy in the little glasses with tissue paper. I felt proud. Noor gave us our gift, and I have her the little NMSU elephant keychain I found during the summer. We also got goody bags from Jen. It was so awesome. She walked us out, and it just felt nice. As soon as we got into the car, exhaustion sunk deep into my bones. I felt content, yet sad. Not for what happened, but because it had to end. The YWiC gang is my family. They have been there the longest for me. Tasha has known us for five years. They have influenced us and taught us so much. I feel honored to be included in the monthly get togethers. I just feel so comfortable around them. It's weird. But I love it. I just feel so sad that we had to leave. Oh well. As Mica once quoted to me, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." I should listen to her and Dr. Suess. Ok. So long for now!
