Well, it has been about a month and I think it is about time that I post something. I am sad to say that I don't have the pictures that I have been wanting to post but I will post them soon!! Thanksgiving was really really fun but I am sad that all those fun people that were here won't be here for Christmas...and I won't see them for A LONG TIME :(!! Christmas preperations are going well. We have all of our decorations on and our Bing Crosby CD is playing almost everyday! (thanks so much for getting us that Julie!).
Oliver is going pretty well. We did a stumble through of Act 1 on Friday and this week we are learning the rest of the choreography and staging. We are already off book so hopefully by the end of the week we can run the Act again without the stumbling part. It has been fun to learn the music and meet new friends, although this week I sound like a man because my throat is all scratchy and stuff.
Last week I had two concerts, orchestra and chorus. They were both really good although I feel like I didn't do my best in either. I think for chorus I didn't know the words as well as planned and for orchestra I was nervous because I have never preformed so close to the audience....
Speaking of close to the audience and orchestra...we had seating auditions in orchestra I am 3rd chair, 1st violin. From last year, I moved up like 20 seats!!! So that means I am like as close to the audience as you can be...and that made me nervous and a little self consciece (<-- word spelled wrong). Sorry...my spelling is...a little on the shabby side. It is funny that I am not really nervous when I sing and act on stage but I am when I play the violin. Weird!
Homework is getting out of control. I have 2 projects over the break and I have homework every night. It is gets really annoying. Why can't teachers just give us a break!!!
Hope you all are having a wonderful season
Merry Christmas!
please comment!!

haha, i am sure you don'y sound like a man. i love you and i wish we were going to be there for christmas!
Thanks for the update! We wish we could be there to see you in all of your activities.
It is tough being closest to the audience, especially a big audience because it is just about guaranteed that at least a few hundred people are looking at you all the time. Yikes!
I bet you did a great job! Oliver sounds ilke fun, but the homework does sound like a bit of a pain. I don't remember getting homework over the Christmas holiday, I would probably be bummed out about it too!
