On Wednesday I was supposed to get an award for 4.0 GPA, but the ceremony was taking too long, and I had an orchestra rehersal so I just left before my name was called up. lol. I sat in a row with all these other orchestra people who were schedule to get awards, and when the time came close rehersal, we were all wondering if we should leave or not. So then Danielle was like "okay, Michael go!" And I got up to leave. I look back, and everyone is still sitting. Well, too late to go back now and look like a dumbass =P. Oh well, I don't really care much for a 4.0 award anyway. Freshman year was by far the easiest year for me in my whole school career, so I don't think I deserve it that much.
Fast foward 3 days to Friday night, the night of the concert. I get to the bandroom with Megan and we're the first ones there. But it doesn't take long before everyone else starts arriving. We did really good, I think. Our pieces were mediocre compared to the ones we chose for festival (In my opinion, atleast), but we still did really good. It sounded like Megan performed her best solo of the year :). At the end we got a standing ovation and some guy yelled "BRAVO!!" lol. Afterwards, 20 minute intermission rolls over and I go talk to people and head over the the refreshments thing. I hate how the people behind the table are always like "... and donations go over there!" Then if you don't give a donation, they glare at you ~.<. Intermission ends, and I head into the audience to watch Wind I perform. They did good, too. When they finished, it took like 10 seconds for people to start standing while applauding and no one shouted "bravo" for them, so that just proves that orchestra is better =P. jk, jk. lol.
Concert ends and Ambrose and I bum a ride over to TGI Friday's with Meg and her dad. We're the first ones there, but after a few minutes, like 15 other people from the orchestra come (its tradition). To fit about 20 orchestra people together, they need to pull together 3 tables. lol. Peter wanted to get a picture of me and a waitress, so when our's came by, I asked if I could, and she said "Well, if you can wait a few minutes, I'll get one of the cuter waitresses to come." Then everyone was like "Michael, bust out one of your pickup lines!!" Wtf, since when do I have pickup lines? I don't believe in such crap. lol. We didn't get a picture, but the waitress seemed to remember me for the rest of the night cause, for example, I gave me order along with everyone else, but she said she would have to take it down at a later time if we wanted to get all our food together. So later when she comes by, she askes everyone what they wanted again, but when she gets to me she's like "Ahh, I remember what you ordered ;)." lol, I wish I'd have gotten her name =P. I don't leave until about 11 PM and once again, like it seems with every other party, I was one of the firsts to leave >.<. It was a fun night.
And then today, Saturday, definitely the boringest day of my week. I spent just about the entire day studying for the Chinese final I have tomorrow in Chinese school. Fun.
I hope all you SAT test taking people did well today.
Did you know that today is the anniversary of the eve of D-Day? Now you do =).
