I haven't blogged in a while, been kind of busy over here. So here I'll do a little catching up, stay with me! lol

My friend Joe asked a bunch of us to do a gig for his family. Long story short - there was a west coast marriage and some eat coast family couldn't go so they newlyweds were flown out here for a second reception. Joe's family asked if we could put together a cover band for the night. It was stressful, we only really had about 3 rehearsals but we were able to pull it off! I think it ended up sounding pretty good... That was on Halloween night. I hope the band does more gigs..

The night before we went to a Halloween party. Zach and I dressed up like Zombies (and Joe turned his hockey fan into a dead hockey fan.. haha). It was a lot of fun! We made our costumes using liquid latex, toilet paper, fake blood, and make-up. We were a big hit!!



I didn't eat that great this weekend. I didn't eat badly, I entered in everything, but I definitely didn't eat well. When I weighed in on Monday I had lost .8 lbs so I will take it knowing I could have done better. But that puts me at a total of 10lbs in 3 weeks on SparkPeople! I had a goal of losing 12 lbs by Nov. 27th (my 26th birthday.....also happens to be Black Friday! ha) so I think I will beat that goal.

Okay, on to the rant. At school, in choir, we are doing Handel's Messiah, the whole thing (not just the Halelujah chorus). There are movements that are solos only. I decided that I would like to audition for one of them. The auditions were held last Wednesday. I did my audition and the director seemed happy with how it went. He said that the list would go up the next day to say who got what.... Well, it is Tuesday and the list isn't up yet.

The part that I need to rant about is that he is allowing another person who was sick to audition on Wednesday, a full week later. Shouldn't I be able to have another week to practice and re-audition?!

Also, yesterday I found out that the girl that sits next to me in choir did NOT audition... but asked if she could borrow my copy of the solo because the Director apparently asked her to learn it and audition on Wednesday as well!!!!

What this says to me is he clearly doesn't want me to do it and I was LIVID last night when I learned about all of this. I wouldn't have minded if they auditioned for it fair and square, learned it on time and auditioned on time, like I did, but to have the director seek someone else out? Just a slap in the face. I know I did well, there is no reason why I shouldn't have it... but by now I don't even want it anymore..

I had a bad day yesterday. I am the type of person who always does their homework. I went to piano class and clearly was the only one who practiced but the teacher didn't bother to tell the others they need more work... I went to my composition class and was the only person who did the reading (as usual) and I lead the conversation just like every class. Then I went to choir and we had 3 "parts due" (it's when the director makes us sing in quartets to prove we've learned the piece and can sing it without help). I was the first one up for all 3 parts due.. and did everything he asked for.

I guess yesterday I just felt walked on. I do the work, help other people out, and then don't get any of the benefits. GRRR!!!
