I'm sorry some these titles are starting to turn into a bunch of inside jokes, but I feel like it will make remember the days better.

So I'm stressing out because we have a project in ELA, where we have it make an ad to sell something really random, I got shredded paper, Becca got pictures of strangers, Nayla got clothing for fish, Shannan got used CDs, someone has to sell air (it makes me think of that guy for the Lorax who wanted all the plants and trees to die), and some other girl got a porcupine. I have all the parts I need figured out, it's just the ad itself. I'm doing hamster bedding, shredded government documents as hamster bedding, so instead of just writing it in my hand writing, I decide to do the fancy calligraphy, which is REALLY FREAKIN HARD, but I'm going to do it.

So the next thing that's coming up is our orchestra competitions, the first one is Ann Roberts competition, I'm hoping we can perform at Ann Roberts for full orchestra, but according to the music directors, that and full orchestra UIL is still up for debate, I'm really hoping we go but it's not up to me. I'm still really excited because I've been practicing a totally different way than I did in December and it has made such a big improvement on my playing, I'm actually in the running for sitting in the front row for competition. I didn't think I could because of all the people that have had more experience than me and the fact that I have way more competition for the front row like I did last year, yeah last year I wasn't really competing to sit in the front row, it was more competing to sit in the first sear, Nalani and I were always head to head for first chair, she usually got it but yes she did deserve it last year. But his year I'm glad there is more competition, and yes there is going to be more disappointments, yes it's going to be a lot harder and I realized this, but before I had kind of just fell back because I thought I couldn't do it, now I know I can I will work for it, because I want it just as badly as anyone else, but again it's going to be hard, upsetting, possibly frustrating, because the way our director scores us, it could be so close (I was .25 away from 1st chair) and the fact it's that close makes it even more disappointing at times, but the practice, hard work and dedication make it all worth while in the end, which is what I want to see out of myself.

Then those stupid STARR tests are this month, UUGGHHH, they are so annoying and horrible. I mean all the ways they could see our progress and they chose the most awful one, sitting taking a test for 3 hours with certain rules, that could possibly hold you back. Because I'm in 8th grade if I don't pass all of them, my ticket to highschool is held back, WHICH WOULD BE THE WORST, I MEAN THE WORST. So I hope I can do as well as I think I can.

That's basically it so byyyeeee.
