Midwest Clinc-y.

So.... Yesterday our band class got to go to the Midwest Clinic in Chicago. It wasn't that bad... Or as bad as I thought it would be. It was pretty funny actually. (:

First we got on the bus which took forever to get on because we were shoving each other out the door... I sat next to Cassie on the bus. Haha, then we ended up watching Wall-E because of the stupid school policy of only G-rated movies. So we got there, which took forever by the way, and we waited like 2,085,437,581,643 years for the people to direct us to our 'homeroom' so we could put our stuff down and EXPLORE! We were supposed to divide into groups of ten. We had like 15 people in our group though, and I don't even know if I even remember HALF of who was in it except for: Me, Cassie, Shae, Matt, Meg, Mitch, Olivia, Tom, Anna..... and yeah I can't remember the rest. (:

So we got a bunch of free candy and looked at instruments and stuff. Blahhh. Then it was... LUNCHTIME. The food was really expensive.. Mr. Harrison (Our band teacher) gave us each a $10 bill to buy lunch. And guess what? I spent $9.98 on a stupid sandwich. But Mitch, being very un-Mitch-y gave me $3 I didn't even ask HIM for money to buy a drink (I just got an icky feeling, ha ha ha! ). So I was like, "SWEEEEET I GOTTA DRINK NOW!!!" and ran to get it. Thirst calls my friend. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. ;)


About five bites into my sandwich I realized I talked to the cashier when I got my food. It was a weird feeling at first and I stopped eating and stared at my sandwich and then I stared at Cassie and back at my sandwich. She laughed and so did I, but only because it seemed silly that I thought talking to the cashier was scary at first, but I did it anyways... That moment felt really good. (:


So we ate and then went to look around more, but our group somehow got split up. My arms hurt though from carrying a bag to haul all the free stuff around. Plus my grody clarinet and humongous coat and bag for extra clothes (We had to wear a TUXEDO!!!!).


More stuff happened but I can't type it all right now. :P I'll update y'all later. (:
