Why the need for celebration you ask? there's a very long list, but mostly, i'm just proud that tomorrow is friday and I havn't significantly ruined something!!!
On tuesday night, I tried out for Utah Youth Symphony again (for next year). I amazingly wasnt too nervous, but the audition songs repeated themselves in my head so many times i KNEW I was scared. I ran downstairs, a little late, and kissed my mom goodbye. As I stepped out the door it hit me. My french horn was still in my room. Genious. :) haha so, running, i grabbed my horn, and jumped into my car. I put in my practice CD, Shostocovich's 5th Symphony, and drove as safely and quickly as possible. I arrived at the Libby at the same time my audition was suposed to start!!! I rushed to the thrird floor where I found several other musicians waiting to audition. Luckily, my friend Alex, who plays the clarinet, was prepared and went before me!!! When I went into the audition, Barb, my conductor was smiling as always and kindly greeted me. She's SOOO nice!! She thanked me for the performance a few weeks ago, then I did my audition. It was so easy to play for her!! I'm really greatful that she has helped me to find a whole new confidence with my horn playing that wasnt there before. She never stops encouraging and uplifting, and that is the best kind of teacher. She's a good example to me. She said I definately made it into the Symphony next year!!! YAY!!!!! I'm so excited!!!! I've had a blast this year, and can't wait for next year too!!!
After a nervous breakdown last night from stress, I was glad today was better than I expected! I got a good score on my AP Chemistry test, and, even though it wasnt my best score, felt pretty good about the quiz in AP American too. The lesson this morning in Seminary was perfect for me too. It seemed so inspired after last night!!! Brother Coleman taught us about how to manage our lives better. He told us that our Heavenly Father was proud of all of the good and even great things in our life, but if we weren't making enough time for the essentials in our life, we were missing the point of life itself. I shouldn't run my life so hard that I can barely sleep, let alone function from day to day! I know that as I look to fulfill those essentials in my life though, that God has, and will help me, and I am so eternally thankful. He has turned my most pesimistic days into happy, fullfilling ones!!! Today was a great example, and I would feel ungrateful to have not shared how blessed I have been!!!
Tomorrow is friday!!!! I'm going to Utah Youth Phillharmonic with Emily, and playing in the Pep Band at the Bountiful vs. WX basketball game. I can't wait!! It should be a fantastic day!!! I've made it!!! yay!
