I wrote this last Thursday and then didn't publish it because the internet hated on me. So have fun reading it now!
SHAMELESSLY LISTENING TO ABBA LIKE YEAH. Today was good! I am totally hammered (still) after only five or so hours sleep last night due to being bummed out about some things, but today was good.
Stage band in the morning was nice, Hammy came up to me and said "You look incredibly tired, you okay?" to which I explained that I was hammered due to very little sleep cos I was upset last night and she said "I'm so tired too! I didn't sleep a wink last night!" which we had a laugh about, gently. Stage band sounded good, I'm getting used to this mouthpiece (I changed onto a 4G instead of a 1.5G like normal to help with the direction of my air etc.) which is good, and I made the bari player put her fingers in her ears, now all I need to do is get her to get some earplugs! Not that I can see her bothering...
I had a maths assessment which went pretty well at first then went sharply down hill (couldn't answer ANY of Question seven arrghhh!) and I spent parts of it wanting to cry but I ended up being okay. I ran to recess afterwards and cried on Amimi's shoulder and felt a bit better then. Oh dear, I just realised I didn't sign in from missing roll call. Heh. I'll do that tomorrow or something.
Ancient was good, extension english I wrong my ancient proposal yay! The eisteddfod was good - we got all Golds woo but yeah I think we played alright. I dislike that stage, you lose everyone else and it was lonely without Fish. :( COME BACK FROM GERMANY, SILLY BILLY! XD
Went to MTM afterwards, that was fabulous. The playing was spectacular (as usual) but sitting low in the stalls always sucks balls. All strings, no wind and brass or percussion. CRAP. Although I do like strings, I also like being able to watch everyone and HEAAAR everyone. Meant the piano concerto was fantastic in some respects though. :) Was nice seeing Duncan Spry on tubba. I went and sat in Box Z in the second half in an empty seat I spotted in the first half and man, the sound improved heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps! I could hear everything like I should although I lost the didgeridoo at times, partly cos I naturally didn't listen for it >_< The eucalyptus leaves were a good touch - difficult in different countries I daresay because of customs! I really enjoyed the Prokofiev, yay! Saw the twins too, and Betty and I think I spotted Josh in the stalls too.
I'm home and although I've already played at least 2.5 hours of Pokemon today (waiting for MTM), I'm playing more now that (woo!) I've finished off that damn Miltank.
I've been keeping my room nice and clean which feels good, and I've been trying to be nicer and more tolerant about Mum and that's been difficult but kinda okay. Yeah. Glad that it's the last day of the term tomorrow!
Oh, and Jonesy complimented me on my tweed jacket which was lovely and Reese tried it on as he always wants to steal it but it didn't fit him, as I thought so yay! I also talked to a lovely old lady before MTM while waiting for the cloaking room and that was really great, it was so interesting! She has a nephew in year 1 who is like my brother was, and her daughter got a crazy brain infection and so she can't play trumpet any more which is very sad, but she had a lot of funny stories to tell about them. She also told me about her brother who was an airplane pilot and mechanic and went out into PNG and found crashed planes after WWII and got tribesmen to take them to an area able to be turned into an airfield and then he would put them back together... using the tar paper used in roofing. Crazy! And apparently because of the territorial nature of the Papua New Guineans, he'd get them to take the pieces to a border, then they would 'vamoose' as she said and he'd get the next tribe to keep taking the pieces of aircraft places. Once he had fixed the planes, he would fly them back to civilisation. Wow! That's amazing. Apparently he also found Japanese soldiers who didn't know that the war was over - something that seems really very surreal and kinda cliched and spooky. Wow. I've found some interesting articles about that sort of thing, I'll link you here.

Other than that, it was nice. I met a lovely couple in box Z (I accidentally sat one row forward of the empty seat and took one of their seats) and talked about wind and how the sound changes in the concert hall and the view and suchlike. They were lovely, I talked to the bloke mainly and after the digeridu piece, he turned around and said "I hope/bet you enjoyed the better wind sound!" - something like that. Yay! :D They were behind me on the escalator up to the platform at Circular Quay and I had my bass trombone and bassoon and they asked if it was my bassoon and I said "No, that's my bass trombone and this is my bassoon!", it was rather funny, heh.
I also saw an older lady with her children on the train home and she smiled at me heaps which was lovely. I love that :) She was lovely.
I can't remember what else I was going to say because I stopped typing then on Thursday because my internet decided to hate me and I was tired. It was a lovely lovely day although I got in trouble for moving to the box without telling a teacher on Friday, oops.
