orchestra

So... yesterday was our last orchestra concert of this (school) year.

It was really fun, as are most of our concerts and anything else orchestra related.

A few things we/I did:

Arrived at 5:45 - about 30 minutes late. (Amazingly we still made it in time for the warm-up/practice time.)
Helped a friend with math homework. Logarithms suck. I did help him find a matrix operator function on his calculator though.
Took 182 selfies with another friend's phone. He told me to hold his phone for him while he was on stage. He also instructed me to lock it in his case if anyone else touched/tried to touch it. I asked if I could take a bunch of photos with it, and he said the limit was 2.
Of course, as soon as he stepped out of the room I started taking selfies. Most of them involved my head sticking in a random corner and somewhere around 5 other guys.
When we were about to go on stage, a friend started to delete all the pictures, but he accidentally turned it off while doing so. He then took one picture of himself and another friend, and then I took the phone from him. I thought that was the only picture on the phone, so I took one more seflie of myself. I then placed the phone on top of the owner's case. (Too lazy to open his case)
Afterwards, I found out that there were 182 pictures saved in his phone but for some reason there weren't any in the camera roll part where you don't need the passcode. (hm) ??
Failed in the actual performance. Wow it was pretty bad; despite doing really well actually during rehearsals.
My conductor did say she owed me 5 dollars for accidentally giving a bad cue that she had practiced and had messed up during warm-up too, but I said "nah it's okay." And besides, the cue hadn't actually affected us that much. I don't think anyone really played, except maybe one note or something.
Didn't get in line for food. Since it takes pretty long to put away a cello (not to mention get off the stage from my position), by the time I got out of the warm-up room, there was already a huge line for the reception. At first I was going to stand in line like a normal, honest person, but then I was like naaaahhh. I went over to the table where all the guys sat; as expected, they had a ton of food. I just ate from their plates.
We had a really great time talking and stuff, but then people started leaving.
I was really depressed because I didn't get to say bye to A. and B. No one else really left until M. and the other B. We definitely said bye (so many "bye slaps") but it's always sad to say bye. N. was supposed to leave, but he ended up not leaving until almost 30 minutes later.
Eventually it was just my brother and I and this other kid that we see at church usually.
This whole time I was remembering last year, when we all saw M. for the last time. I never got to say goodbye to him.

And it's sad to think that I won't be seeing all these people for almost 4 months.
And...I'm going to be in the senior orchestra....and I won't be rehearsing with most of them.
At least we'll still see each other at most breaks.

piano

Chemistry

But I guess I have to look ahead in my life. I believe in a meaning to life; I believe that I have a destiny, and thus I look forward with hope.
There's a ton of change coming ahead:

Starting this summer, I'm going to be taking classes at community college.
Placement test is tomorrow; I've decided to take the calculus-readiness test and pray that there aren't any weird logarithm/matrix problems. I'd actually be happier if there were calculus problems.

Next season orchestra I'm going to be in seniors. Only 2 other guys moved up this year (actually one of the B.'s made it but he'd rather be in the more fun intermediates)

I'm probably getting a new piano teacher.

Who know's what else. I could qualify for the Olympics idk...
