Update

I don't really have anything to update on
but maybe
if someone actually even reads my blog
they were wanting to know how things were going
so I will try.

saturday
I had all state auditions
I messed up on sight reading
but other than that I did okay
I made fifth
....(I think)
and am second alternate
which pretty much guarantees I'm not going to play
but at least I got seated.
(Albert didn't *snicker snicker*)

other oboe updates
I made first in the county
(over albert)
first in region
(over albert)
and first in orchestra
(over albert)
but I wonder about that last one
because as soon as he went into the audition
his reed broke
and I felt sorry for him
because I could tell his dad really wanted him to do good
and I could tell he was having trouble with the reed
and I know how that feels to have your reed let you down.
How lame....

in other news
I am reading the outsiders for school
and it's pretty good
but now good enough to put on the read it list
but I still think you should read it
(if that makes sense)
but I did add a series to the list
and a couple other books
so check it out
(my goal is to fill it up)

lastly
I went to meredith's after my audition saturday
(adopted sibling 'and miles to go before I sleep')
and we got a tour of her campus
(USC)
which was cool
I like the brick pathways
that was probably my favorite part
not to say it wasn't interesting
but they were the cool kind y'know
that have moss on them
and are being pulled up by roots
and bricks are falling out and stuff
anyway
they looked really cool
and I wanted to steal them
but I don't think that is possible

so I guess I had more to say than I thought
hope somebody actually reads this
but it was nice reflecting on my week if not
bye bye
have wonderful days full of particle explosions!

  1. Mckenzie! Yes, I have been anxiously awaiting an update. So I'm so glad you posted!
    Yay for oboe firsts! And I'm not sure which books are new/old in your list, but I agree that The Harper Hall Trilogy is very good. Have you read McCaffrey's "Dragonsong"?

  2. The Outsiders is one of my favorites, check out some of her other books, "That was Then This is Now" and "Rumble Fish" are noteworthy.
