I have some advice for all my readers that I hope will stick to you throughout your lives. When you keep putting things off, piles form and it doesn't get done. As a result I have missed a number of important blog posts! As much as I wish I could, I am not in a position where I can turn each idea into the separate topic it was supposed to be, so this is going to be a crash course of the last month or so since starting school. I'd also like to reassure anyone who feels like they might be losing their mind that no, my posts aren't usually out on Friday, but they're supposed to be, so I make them say that. Most of the time they should be timeline accurate however even when I've moved on into the next week.
So let's rewind a bit. I auditioned for the college orchestra on....I can't remember. One thing I learned is that no matter how much I've practiced, I always feel as if I should have done more. By God's mighty hand I made it in and now am going to two hour rehearsals three times a week plus concerts. I sure didn't know what I was getting myself into or I'd have been a nervous wreck about time. I have adjusted to it however and it has been rewarding in many ways.
On Sunday I became legal in the wizarding world. How did that happen!? I don't feel any younger for sure but that sounds so much older to me than last year. I sure don't look it. In fact I was wandering around Diagon Alley and went into one of the children's robe shops and found a black sweater that looked and fit very nicely...it was a 10/12. Anyhow, other than dawdling and pretending I had no homework, I took my apparition test and passed!! I think I nearly splinched because I was very tired afterwards, but it was exhilarating. Not that I can apparate around muggles, but it is an accomplishment all the same. Last year wasn't a good one, so it shouldn't be too hard making this one better.
I was going to add to my list of interesting things I've done that three years ago, if I'm remembering right, I spent the night before my birthday sleeping at the airport. Interesting experience...I got donuts for breakfast though so it was all good.
All for now.
