My Week

Well, this week was quite enjoyable. First on Monday after school, I went to Emi's house. We talked for a few minutes and got her vegan cupcakes and veggie platter ready for the GAPP meeting. Then we went to the meeting, which really made me realize that I am actually going to Germany! I'M SO EXCITED!!
Tuesday was the Concerto concert with the orchestras. Before the concert my mom and I went to El Rio Grande. She had never been there before and she loved it! We got to talk for a long time which was very nice as we are both always so busy. I had my usual - Veggie Platter #2 (two bean burritos covered in cheese sauce.) The concert went well. After the concert was over, I got to talk with my old orchestra teacher for a while which was nice. Then, a bunch of people and I went to Culver's, like we always do after an orchestra concert. This was hilarious!! We were kind of loud... especially because we were laughing the entire time! I love Selena's laugh! I had a short chocolate shake and small fries, as usual. There are photos on facebook.
Wednesday I had to work. I worked at 5 PM, and the weather was nasty. It was so windy and rainy. After my shift, I go outside and try to unlock my car. The locks were frozen and you couldn't turn the key. UGH! So after trying various methods to get in, I called my dad and he picked me up. I had to leave my car over night.
Thursday started out horribly. My hair wouldn't cooperate, I spilled my oatmeal all over myself, the counter, cupboard doors, and the floor, I was late to school, and my car wouldn't start. It was still at McDonald's. It got slightly better as I got to school. Near the end of the half day of school, the Badger Conference Large Group Band Festival took place. We had to wear formal wear. I brought my tuxedo and planned on changing right before we went on stage. Yeah... my white undershirt was not in my tuxedo bag!! I had to wear a t-shirt under my coat. It looked SO stupid! I felt stupid too. But oh well, things happen. We played Windsprints and Symphonic Dance No. 3 Fiesta very well. When we finished playing, we were critiqued by the judge person.
After this, Tony took Emi, Taby, and me in his car. He dropped Emi off for her babysitting. Then, we went to McDonald's to pick up my car, as the temperature had risen a considerable amount since the night before, and the sun was shining on the locks. I easily get into the car, but when I turn the key in the ignition... Lights and dinging, and then nothing. My battery died! This is the second time this year it has died... hmm... So we left it there again and went to eat at Taco Bell. I had a bean burrito with no onions, some potato wedges, and a crispy potato soft taco (which I asked for with no sauce or lettuce.) The lady with the mustache who took my order said "it doesn't come with sauce." I said it did, but she just denied it. Of course, the sauce was still on it. Oh well, it was only a dollar. Then we dropped Taby off, and we went to the high school to meet up to go laser tagging with Chamber Strings. Well, Bryce, Laura, Shaylee, Emma, Kaylie (Jewdy), Tony and I. We got all the way to Ultrazone and they were not even open yet! LOL! So we decided to go the mall, which was equally as fun. There was a display for this outdoor living space company in the middle of the mall, and we made it our summer home. It was beautiful! We went to the Apple store and had a ton of fun with iPads... photos! They are on facebook as well. That was a blast!
