'Tis the Night Before...

It's so much fun to use lots of paper. This is the beginning of the second semester of English, which means lots of writing. I wrote a lot. I also got to doodle and draw lots of circles. Some people call it brainstorming, but somehow I think it's supposed to be called daydreaming. :)

It's the night before. I got really nervous this morning. I'm at the senior high level now, and that's kind of scary. I heard a piano solo at MAACS one year at the awards ceremony, and I know I won't be that good for a while. I also have a lot of competition tomorrow. I have no hopes of making it to MAACS-- I'm aware of who my competition is-- but I want to get a 1 rating on "Scherzo." That would be really cool. I just hope I don't get as nervous as I did this morning. I also hope the duo goes well. We get to play to a special room because only one judge has the key to the only room with two pianos in it. :D

I think we're leaving at about 8:15 tomorrow morning, and we'll be gone all day. I'm hoping that we'll be back in time to drive over to Robinson and see Les Miserables, and I think we will, but I have to convince Dad to either go with us or let me drive. :)

We went to Jackson Heights tonight and saw my cousin Melanie play. She started JV and played the last quarter of varsity. KCC varsity slaughtered Jackson Heights. Did you know KCC is ranked in the state? JHHS is not.

I suppose that since I have to get up early and probably need a good night's sleep, I should go to bed. So I bid you farewell. The next time you hear from me, I will be either sufficiently disappointed or deliriously excited.
