Wow, life is pretty busy right now. I haven't had a free day for the past month and will continue to not have a free day until the middle of February, in which case I'll only have a weekend :D I'll just describe some of the things I've been working on.
Ross's Wedding
It's amazing to think that it was only a month ago that Ross and Melissa were married. But along with that came all the preparation work and LOTS of stress. Not necessarily for me, but for my family in general. Oh, and not to mention all of the things following the wedding! Like dinners and receptions and more receptions *cough* Melissa and Ross *cough* But, it's all good :D
Speech and Debate
This year for speech and debate I decided to try Extemperaneous Speaking. So, I went to my first meet of the year, not knowing what the heck I was doing, and learned the hard way how to speak in front of people. Thankfully I was taken in by another school, so I was able to at least bunny slipper my way through it. (Bunny Slipper is a substitute for B*** S***...you can thank Ben Warder for that.)
All State
This year I was blessed to be able to participate in the Wyoming All Sate Band, which was conducted by a professor from George Mason University in D.C. I had a blast, even when I wasn't playing. Chess, Maow, and wandering around Cody was the only other thing we did when not playing or singing.
National A Cappella Competition
I haven't gone to this yet, in fact I'll be shipping out tomorrow for Portland, OR!!! Our a cappella group at Big Horn prepared three songs to try out for a simi-final a cappella competition round, and we were accepted!! So, for the past 3-4 months, we've been preparing those songs to compete other schools from this part of the country. We will be singing "Change the World," "It Will Take My Whole Life," and "Sou Gawn." I have had a blast preparing for this and I can't wait for this weekend trip!
Okay, so maybe I'm not involved in so much stuff, but I'm sure those around me can testify to the fact that I'm busy, busy, busy! Especially my mother and my teachers.
Wish me luck this week!!! <3
