Flaula and Elenor

Is there love in the air? I have no idea, it's way to cold to smell anything. I bury my face into my scarf when I walk after school from jazz to catch my bus. It's dark, I love when the sun is setting though I would enjoy it more if I was in a warm car driving home than waiting for the bus in the cold. To get to either of the bus stops you have to cross either a narrow bridge or a bigger one. I always cross the bigger one, why? Isn't it obvious, I hate heights and I am afraid that on that bridge I would slip and fall right over. A bit of negative thinking, yes. I am just a very cautious person. Even crossing the bigger bridge is a problem, but at least I'm not alone. I have a friend who comes with me.

I don't know how such an organized person could lose something so important, and by organized person I mean me. I don't lose anything... Alright I lose the occasional train of thought but that's all. I don't know how I lost my jazz book. I had better find it before our concert 2 weeks from now. Oh the agony, I've been running around looking around for it like a maniac.

Everyone seems to be falling in love these days. All I can say is keep it in your pants.

Here's hoping the weather gets better and that traffic clears up. I despise taking the bus.



It always comes from the soul

I find it impossible to give up

Cello will literally be the death of me. I absolutely love it, but I can not play a thing. Sure I have improved, but that doesn't mean anything, I have to work very hard. Gosh, I hate the bass clef.. bleeeh.

Hung out with my bestfriend of whom I had not seen for 6 years. We had an amazing time, it was the first time I ever ate ginger beef. Yes, a milestone haha.

For some odd reason as I write this, I am speaking in my absolute best british accent, I think it has to do with the fact I have been thinking a lot about England recently. My aunt has invited me to stay, I need to find some time and take her up on that offer.

My mother asked me to go and get some apples from the garage in the process of doing so I found these three miniature apples, and it was enough to brighten my day. It doesn't take much really, I am a pretty happy person recently.



As good as they look, they tasted even better.


I am in dire need of a new camera, I have given up on photography as my camera sucks. I want a DSLR camera, but until I find a job... I can only dream of owning a camera so amazing.

Long time no see

It's becoming so hard to blog these. I've been flooded with assignments, tests and on top of that I had to prepare for concerts. One may ask where do you possibly find the time? I found some time recently on my long weekend, so here is one of those large updates I told you all I'd write.

3 months of dedication to the saxophone paid off. Last week I played at the Big Band Dinner Dance. It was such a fun night, My feet were killing me though. I had my first solo ever; on top of that, it was an improv solo. When it was my turn, I stood up and I couldn't believe how confident I was ! I didn't mess up, I wasn't nervous at all. It wasn't until I sat down that My hands began to shake, it was so weird !! My solo went great and I'm happy for it :)

Yesterday I had my fall concert. I didn't have a solo, but that's okay. The songs we had were not.. that great. Some I liked but I didn't need a solo for those. I'm excited for the new music we're getting, hopefully it's lively and fun.

I have to start joining strings class on Monday. I'm nervous.. but I've been reassured but my friends who are in that class that everyone is so nice.. Let's hope they're right. I need to practice my cello all weekend.. I also need to study ! Oh the life of a nerd.

Tomorrow I am going to meet with one of my friends who I have not seen in over 5 years! Last I saw her was 4th grade.. 6 years ago ! Wow time flies by, it's nice to know that our friendship was strong enough to last all these years!

Or maybe I'm just optimistic?

School just gets better, I've made some interesting new people that I call my "friends" haha I'm just kidding. They are all so nice, and different. In a good way. I am starting to like chemistry... yes, what has the world come to? It's only because I'm doing so well. If I was doing poorly, then I would say something like "I HATE IT SO MUCH!", but I'm not doing poorly, so I don't have a chance to say that.

There's a basic overview of what happened. I could talk about the nitty gritty but I am falling asleep!

Let's hope my next post will come sooner than later,
