So, what I feared would happen today, that every one of my friends had made All Southern, didn't happen. In fact, most people didn't make it. The only people to make it in the band was Andrew and this flute player I don't know, and then Emma made alternate. And, well, I guess some people haven't gotten their letters, so there might be a few more, but that's pretty much it. And I'm kind of relieved about that, which makes me feel bad since they're all great players and deserve to make it, but still. At least I don't have to feel bad about not making it alone. Also, I turned in the form to do Chapman Honor Band (which is no audition, your music director just has to reccomend you, and Mrs. Bentley's reccomending anyone who wants to do it who's in Wind Ensemble) so yeah. At least I'll have that. It's kind of funny that more people in band made All State than All Southern. It should be the other way around.

Still not sure about what I'm doing on Saturday. First we were planning to see Brokeback Mountain, but then Jackie and Lulu had Elite so we were going to do it at 7 PM but then Zi and Galaxy were going to go see a movie and have dinner late, and then we had the idea to watch the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice straight through, from like 10 to 3 and then Galaxy would be able to go out with Zi, except then Emma had a dentist appointment in the morning. So now what I've proposed is to see Brokeback Mountain at like 12:30 (which means Lulu and Jackie can't go, but ah I can't figure out anything else that would work) and on Monday see the 5 hour version of Pride and Prejudice. So, yeah. Hopefully something's going to happen, though, because I don't want to sit around all day doing nothing on my birthday. ...unless my parents get me DVDs to watch. Which then, yeah, that might not be so bad.

The O.C. and My Name is Earl are on tonight, and ugh, why did they have to move The O.C. back an hour? Because I was all "omg now that I'm no longer watching Reunion, once My Name is Earl has moved, I can watch it again, finally!" since before it aired at the same time as both Supernatural and House and I didn't want to bother with downloading it. But now it's on the same time as The O.C. and Everwood! NBC just really doesn't want me to watch this show, does it? sigh. But Everwood isn't back this week, so at least I'll be able to watch it tonight.

I didn't make All Southern. [shrug] Oh well. I knew my audition wasn't that great. It sucks, but it's not the end of the world. Actually, the worst part is going to be tomorrow when everyone else has got their letters as well and most of my friends have made it (I'm assuming) and then I'll have to tell everyone 5000 times that no, I did not make it.

Yesterday I had Symphony, so afterschool I hung out with friends till it started, and then I didn't get home until 8 and I just studied for 3 hours straight for my math test. So, trying to catch up with my friendslist now.

Instead of telling me things these days, now that my mom found out what my e-mail address is, she just e-mails me everything. It's getting kind of ridiculous, actually. But anyways, so she e-mails my college counselor back and forth about times and stuff and forwards the details to me, and I read one and... she's just completely making stuff up about what I've said. It's bizarre. First she said that I claimed an interest in checking out USF, which, no, never said. But I guess I can understand that maybe she could think that. I mean, it's not totally unreasonable. But then she said how I'm starting to feel like the "right fit" might be a big school as it would offer the widest range of things to do for someone like me who isn't quite sure about what they want to do. Which, uh. wtf? I've never said anything like that. If anything, I've said that I'd prefer a smaller school. The closest thing I've said to any of this is when people ask me what I want to do or what college I want to go to and I say "I don't know" and they say "You must have SOME idea" and then I say "No. I really, really, don't," and they still don't believe me, and in any case, that's still nowhere near what she said here. I have no idea where she's getting this all from. It's just very weird.

Blah. Anyways. I thought I had more to say, but I guess I don't.

Well, my audition is over, thank God. Audition details. )

Anyways. Not looking forward to going back to school in two days, but at least I have my birthday next Saturday to look forward to. And if anyone's feeling kind and would like to get me anything, paid account time is always appreciated. My paid account runs out Feb. 6th, and February seemed like a long time ago when I bought it in August, but now it's right around the corner.

Don't know what's going on today. I think I'm supposed to be hanging out with Emma and Mukul and maybe other people, but I haven't talked to Emma since like Thursday, so I don't know. I guess we'll see.

I finished both Bridget Jones books last night. I liked them both a lot, more than the movies (why couldn't the whole bit with Mark's line "It's all right. I realize I'm here. I don't think it's the sort of thing we should be keeping from each other," be put in the movie? I couldn't stop giggling over that line. And there were many others like that that I had wished had made it into the movie). And yeah, the second movie is nearly nothing like the book. But there are some things about the movies that I like more than the books. Anyways, I'm glad I bought the books.

I also watched Love Actually with the commentary on. hee. I love Hugh Grant just constantly bashing Colin Firth. They need to do a movie together (preferably involving many scenes with them fighting each other) and do a commentary on the movie together, because that would be excellent.

All Southern auditions tomorrow. I don't know how likely it is I'll make it, but oh well. Nothing more I can do than make sure all my scales are memorized.

School starts up again on Monday, and then I have two weeks and then it's finals. Eck. I wish my school was more like other schools and had finals right before winter break. It's such a hassle to be learning all this stuff, then take two weeks off, and then have to remember everything you learned before break in addition to learning bunch a new stuff for two weeks and then have to study your ass off. Especially since my grades are so borderline this year (well, ok, half my grades are. But I don't want half my grades to be B's), so I really need to ace some of my finals. I miss freshman year. sigh.
