I am soo excited for my new job, and that would be a major understatement. Today, the 22nd, I went in for training about how to run the cameras and where to stand and how to get clients. Over this past summer I was exploring the app store for some camera apps and ran into instagram and that is when I found one of my greatest passions. I would love to study photography in college but I don't know if I'd like it as a career or just as a hobby. Lucky for me, I found a job at a location that takes pictures of parties and other events, and I CAN'T wait. My first assignment will be next week at my city's Medieval Fair.
Tell you more about that later though.
Friday-- absolutely nothing happened. played guitar, played Mario kart wii, and made plans to go see THE HUNGER GAMES!!!!! I will. DEFINITELY let you know what I think about it on monday while I come up with a topic to discuss next Monday but I need help coming up with one.

Up to Date
Saturday-- the third day of the trip
The group went to The Dixie Stampede and to The Clay Cooper Show. Both performances were terrific and the food at The Dixie Stampede was great. However, my stomach didn't think so. As you may know Missouri is really hilly and this, along with the food made me sick. My 3 roommates then had to be relocated to a different room and the plumbing was broken and the toilet overflowed and flooded a little bit of the bathroom. Not the best way to end your last night on a trip but luckily I felt perfectly fine the next morning to enjoy that day's events.
Sunday-- Last Day :(
The day of packing, fun, and then 6 hours of boredom. The group of about 160 people split up to visit the Titanic Museum and one of the many go-kart places. I would say that I managed not to get hurt but I would be a big fat lier. Go-kart races always end in at least 2 crashes... and I was in one resulting in a scraped knee and slight whiplash. Don't worry though, I'm perfectly okay now.
The next 6-8 hours was our drive back home and we all enjoyed extra sleep and Harry Potter 7 part 2... and more sleep.
Monday-Wednesday -- movies and interviews
M: best way to start spring break at home is a Harry Potter movie marathon.
T: spent the day learning about college and what I might be interested in terms of majors and whatnot
W: went in for an interview and GOT A JOB!!!!! This will be my first job EVER and I am very very excited to be the newest photographer for this company.
well that's everything...
Talk to you on friday!

p.s. we still need some help. comment on any post with a topic for one of our posts that you'd like to hear about.

Branson Missouri
Well, the trip to this place was boring but it has paid off as of now. Yesterday, we went to the Branson Landing for a few hours to do some shopping while the other half of our music herd was opening for The Acrobats of China. Today we went to Silver Dollar City for a few hours and while we went to play at the magician place they went to the Branson Landing. The show was amazing and we were trolled by the magician :D hahaha.
well, I'm pretty tuckered out so goodbye. :)

Double Whammy
HAPPY PI DAY EVERYONE!!!!!
I LOVE pi day, don't you? sigh all the pie, and contests for t-shirts, and knowing the most digits. The pie i had was delicious, and i feel very confident about the number contest. 180 digits! :D [crazy right?] If by any chance you haven't noticed the fact that I'm a bit of a nerd, whether it be for music or math... today will be your chance to see it.
For a majority of you, spring break will be Monday-Friday of next week. I know you're all excited, but who isn't?
Being a musician can be a pain in the butt sometimes.... actually my left hand but it pays off sometimes and tomorrow is one of those times.
Music is a major part of our lives, but mine especially. I've never been one of those sports loving people and I've ALWAYS found myself in the fine arts department. First came piano, then came choir, then violin, the venezuelan cuatro, ukulele, and most recently guitar (and the ocarina) , but that's besides the point. What I love about music is the joy it brings to the life around me no matter who it is. It brings me out of slumps, gives me motivation, and friendships I never would have made without it. Tomorrow I'm starting my spring break two days early because the Band and Orchestra program at my school is taking a trip to Branson, Missouri. My group in particular will be the opening act for a magician, but other groups will open for the dixie stampede dinner show, and some other things I don't recall at the moment. If, by chance, you're going to any shows over the next 3-4 days make sure to get there 30 minutes early if you would like to see us perform as well.
Now for some business talk. Due to this trip I will most likely NOT be able to post this Friday because I don't know if I'll have Internet but that doesn't mean I'll give up. Just don't expect anything until Monday for sure.
Have a WONDERFUL end of the week! Be back on sunday.

--how many digits do you know of pi? Doing anything noteworthy for spring break? comment below, we'd like to hear from you
oh and about the numbers.... no cheating. yeah, that means you... stop looking it up, hahaha.... seriously though, stop it

Something New
First thing's first... I got my first pair of glasses!!! Definitely a great start to the weekend. Nothing exciting happened on Sunday, just the usual. I did however, write a pretty great book review for 1984 by: George Orwell. It's a good book and if you like books about the future, government/dictatorships, or you want something a little creepy then this novel is for you.
Today (Monday) was the beginning to another spirit week. We were all to be wearing our pj's to school and tomorrow wear all one color. [ this should be interesting ] It is also te day blogger decides to give me a few technical difficulties but nothing I wasn't able to fix, so everything is fine.
Hope your weekend was terrific!
Until Wednessday when I tell you a secret... shhh!

Long Day, Long Week
Where do I begin? This entire week felt like it just dragged on and on and on... more than usual. Felt to me like Monday never happened...
It is 11:45 pm when I'm writing this, and I finally got home for the first time since 8am this morning. I did come back for a few minutes but I don't count that You see, my mother is from Venezuela and she has many friends that come from many countries. At the University in town, there is a student association for Venezuela and Colombia. Once every year they put on a show to tell the people about what the country is really about. Tonight was Colombian night and I had a good time. The food is DELICIOUS, and the music and dance was great too.
After all this excitement... which totaled 5 hours... I'm pooped. Can't even believe that there was school today.
I WOULD tell you about yesterday too but I don't remember any of it soooo that's my story... that's everything..... The End!
--Sora
P.S. Maybe one day I'll tell you about Venezuela... if you would like to hear about it.

Still needing help.
As "exciting" as my life may be... I can't just talk about it week after week because it will be the same thing over and over again. If you have any suggestions about a title for this blog or a topic. It would be lovely. Comment anything, anything at all. you don't need to be following or anything.
Hope to talk to you all soon. :)

Weekend # 1
Two days ago, Saturday, I spent a majority of my day (8... hours) surrounded by stress and anxiety of band and orchestra teachers and students. Why? District Solo and Ensemble Contest of course! Despite how each audition is only about 6 minutes long, there are hundreds of students 7th-12th grade. I participated in an Orchestral ensemble consisting of 18 people. I know you are all eager to know what we played right? No?... I'm going to tell you anyways. We played Brandenburg number 3 and actually got a Superior ( I ). :D
The other 6 hours was spent monitoring one of the rooms. Kid after kid, score after score, and making sure the judge is happy at all times. May not seem like a hard job but it is.
Sundays aren't usually very interesting. Wake up... go to church... come home and eat lunch... then head out again to church for a religious education (R.E.) class... come home and eat dinner... homework... sleep. Yesterday however, one of the Deacons of my parish told us the history of the church. He explained how it got its name, about the architecture in the building, the garments that he and the priest wear and what it means, etc. The most interesting thing to me was the bell. Apparently there was a family whose son was dying so they asked Father Metter (1st Priest for this church) to bless him before he died. The family was very great-full that he could come. remember, they didn't have cars. just horses, trains, etc One day, some time after the death of the young man, a bell was delivered to the church by train. It had the name of the family and the boy engraved on the side and came with a note that said father should put the bell into the church's bell-tower and name the church St. Joseph. That bell is STILL in that tower and rings every day, and it has been about many many many years.
SIDE NOTE: If you aren't religious, or are of a different religion... just know that I will try to keep my 'church talk' to a minimum. :)
Today has been a stressful day like most Mondays. Finding out about quizzes or tests coming up, having a pile of homework, and I found out that I need glasses so yeah.
Happy Monday :)
