So, I got a 100% on my first trig quiz. Yipee!!
I played at a wedding this evening with a string sextet. 4 Violins, a Viola (me) and a Cello. Now, really, the instruments didn't play themselves, and I'm not a viola. But those were the instruments used by bipedal humanoids in this wedding. It was an outdoor wedding, and it just about got rained out. It was raining only an hour and a half before the wedding started. But, the rain stopped, the clouds stayed in the sky, and the wedding proceeded. We each got 30 buckaroos, which...really isn't a whole lot compared to what we could make if we played at weddings regurlarly. A String Quartet could charge $800-$1000 for an hour to an hour and a half of music. But hey, I'll take the $30...it's spending money, anyway.
So next week, Orchestra starts full time. I'm pretty stoked. I've got 2 hours of choir, 2 hours of Orchestra, at least one private student, I'm one of the Security Team members, and I'm hoping to be able to teach a theory class. I told the main theory teacher that I didn't want to, but as I think about it more and more, I really can't see myself going the whole year without teaching someone something. I just have to impart the knowledge that God and others have given to me. So...hopefully I can do that..
So, I found out on Tuesday that my English Teacher takes her kid to Day Care in the same building that Orchestra's in, and on the same day. She came by and said hi on Friday...she's not as bad as I first thought...though she does have some quirks and what not...
I'm pretty tired...but stoked (yes, I just used the same word twice in the same blog post..tsk on me) about Frisbee tomorrow! It's been a while since we played, and I can't wait to play again.
