Solo and Ensemble

Today I went to a school provided activity where you go and share your talents, whether it is singing, playing the piano, or playing a different instrument. I did a violin and flute duet with my friend. We played Minuette and Trio, by Mozart. We did a pretty good job at it, but in the end we walked away with a -2. Oh well we tried our hardest. We still got an excellent, I would have liked a Superior, but it wasn't meant to be. My really good friend Rachel got the outstanding solo for our school. She sang Panis Angelicus, and our sixtuplet group that sang The River Sleeps Beneath the Sky, got the outstanding for a chorus ensemble.

I had a great time other wise! I didn't get to go last year, and I am very happy that I got to go this year. I am going to try to do it in Highschool, but it is going to take a lot of work. :)

New Computer

Well 2 days ago, we got a new comp! Finally. We have had a windows 98 SE that when the monitor went to sleep, it some times took days to wake up again. Now we have a Inspiron 530 Dell with a 17" flat screen. My dad was generous enough to buy one for us :). I love my dad. I really enjoy all of the new features it has, compared to our old one. The one thing I don't like is the parental controls. It is blocking most of my pictures on my blog, and it won't let me see some of my pictures that come with my email. Oh well, we can adjust them or I will have to get use to it. :D

Love your big sister
