I have decided to make a list of all the reasons I am happy now, and a list for the future of why I should be happy, with a reason for every day of the week.
Why I am Happy Now:
- When we listened to the judges' commentary on our performance at Parade of Bands, neither of them said anything bad about my solo.
- When I was practicing French Horn after school, one of the band directors came out of his office and told me that I've improved tons and sound really good.
- Tomorrow I have tons of breaks.
- All my homework is done.
- I got a good grade on the last math test.
- I hung out with friends after practicing, and laughed a lot.
- This is a pretty picture:
Reasons to be Happy Every Day of the Week:
Monday-- I get to see friends at school, I get to go to the band room, MuggleNet updates the Caption Contest, and MuggleCast comes out with a new PodCast episode
Tuesday-- 'Shrub Monkeys' (an internet comic strip) is updated, it is no longer Monday, and I have French Horn lessons
Wednesday-- Halfway through the week, Lost is on, and this week it's my friend's birthday and we have a band concert
Thursday-- 'Tales From Band Camp' is updated, Television Without Pity comes out with a new Lost review / parody / summary, and it's almost Friday
Friday-- Anime Club, traditional family buffet / movie night, and it's FRIDAY (also, during the marching season there's either a football game today or tomorrow)
Saturday-- It's the weekend (also, during the marching season there's either a football game today or there was one yesterday, which means that in addition to marching band fun, I'm at a sleepover or about to be)
Sunday-- It's the weekend, my homework and chores are done, I am free, and tomorrow I get to see my school friends again
Strangely, I am now less happy than when I started writing this. Probably because I mentioned marching band a few times and am now suffering (again) from Marching Band Withdrawal Syndrome. *sigh* 3 months and four days until the first day of band camp...
