No more high heels!

I've performed four times in the last week, hence the title. Girls only like to play dress up for few hours, and then they like their tennis shoes. I played for the senior citizens, for Brittany's seminary, my own seminary, the school's art day, and had a grand finale my region Solo and Ensemble competition on Saturday. And then region band was today. I'm pooped. However, I got Superior ratings on my solo, Concertino, and will be going to State at the end of the month! I'm tired but excited for the opportunity. I plan to knock the judges' socks off. (Let's just forget that I was terrified the night before region, shall we?) Thank goodness for father's blessings-it made all the difference.

After Saturday Conference, Robyn, Brittany, and I went and ate 'till we were sure to pop at Canton City and saw Hunger Games. In the way of reviews, it was well done, and followed the books much better than most movies, but why watch the movie when you can actually read the book? And judging from the reactions of other people in the theater, not everybody got that it was a social commentary...

My scores are getting better in AP English. So far I've gotten a 7/9 on one of my essays, which is the highest anybody has been getting in that class. Grading is brutal... college English sounds so much easier now.

I met my roommates through e-mail this week. They sound like really fun girls and I am excited to go to BYU and meet them in person. I can't decide whether to be excited or scared... the meter sways depending on my mood at the moment.

Now I'm just looking forward to spring break in Arizona. I am going to sit outside and do and think absolutely NOTHING for a whole week.
