I'm still in Voices, I'm ready to take everything it has to dish out too... even though I loved Jazz, I just couldn't take everything that it gave me. From all of the judgement to these ridiculous accusations that I'm starting to make just because other people are thinking like this... I'm ready to make my life more positive. I'm ready to get good grades again. I'm ready to become part of the choir again. I felt bad for letting Mrs. T down for all that she's taught me, but I think at the same time, she understood where I was coming from. It wasn't for the wrong reasons that I made the decision I did, I'm not going to talk badly about people just because I can, I'm not like that. I know how to forgive people, and most importantly I think I can genuinely forgive people... it's not just to pretend everything is okay, it's not just to put a smile back on a face for convenience's sake. I'm going to enjoy choir, I'm not going to stand out, and I'm not going to be irrational... but I'm going to enjoy it. Anyhow, enough of that... coffee house was excellent, I think I could've done better on some of my bass accompanyment, but otherwise it was pretty much error-free. False Jazz will practice again, sure 9/10 of it will consist of Halo 2 LAN parties, but we can pretend we're practicing nonetheless. In other news, my family from Canada (on my mom's side (i.e, all of Canada)) is over, they're just leaving from our family reunion/ annual golf tournament... it was sort of a sad event though, this is the first golf tournament we've had since my grandma passed away. I think I respect my grandfather that much more for still living and loving his life... I couldn't possibly pretend like I know what he's going through. Anyways, my birthday is on Wednesday... and I'm excited, I'm going to be one of those "big, scary 17-year-olds" now. Anyways, have a great week kids... try and be yourselves, you're the only one who can do that.
