2010!!!!!!!

Wow, this past week has been really busy for me!!


Since I am playing the tenor saxophone for band, we had to buy a saxophone for myself. Last weekend, we looked around at every music store, trying to find a tenor saxophone, but they were all out of stock!!! There won't be saxophones until the end of January, and band class starts on January 4th! I'm really worrying about what to do...


On Wednesday, Frances, Katy, mommy, daddy, Samantha and I all hiked the Twin Peaks! It was a lot of fun. The total amount of steps in the Twin Peaks is 1,200! But surprisingly, I still find Mt.  Butler more tiring than the Twins. The Twins actually isn't as bad as I expected! But, since on Wednesday, it was really foggy, wet and drizzling, there was a point in the hike that was very, very slippery and dangerous. Part of the second peak has lots of rocks, and on Wednesday, it was especially slippery. We all slipped at least once, but it actually made the hike more interesting, not just step after step after step.
After the long hike, mommy, daddy and I were invited to go to a party. The kids there were all boys, so I spent the night watching wrestling and things like that... not very fun for me. But towards the end of the party, I sang karaoke, which was quite fun :)


Last night, it was New Year's Eve!!! For dinner, Frances, Katy, mommy, daddy, and I ate a buffet together. I was really full after that. Frances and Katy then invited me to sleep over and count down to 2010. We baked fudge brownies and watched the movie 'Anne of Green Gables'. It's a really good movie and I enjoyed watching it. Then we counted down to New Years. We slept really late (or, technically, really early), so now I'm really tired. 

At school, it was China Day. We all wore our chinese clothes to school and played lots of fun chinese games and ate really good chinese candy :D


After school, I had clarinet class. At the end of clarinet, Mr. Lovett pulled me over and asked if I wanted to start playing the saxophone for the second semester of band. There can only be 6 saxophone players and I really want to play the saxophone, so I'm really happy I got chosen!! Playing the saxophone will be really fun and cool I bet.


After clarinet, Sydney and I went to violin class. Our concert got video taped, so instead of playing violin, we just watched our concert. It was a lot of fun... the concert sounded really good actually!


When I got back home from violin, I went to ballet. At Rachel's school fair, we got some jewelry for Ms. Claire, so at ballet, we gave the jewelry to her as an early christmas present. She really liked them!!
