choir tour and stuff

three weeks ago i went to disneyland with my family for spring break.

two weeks ago i went back to disneyland for choir tour.

one week ago i was taking a billion practice AP tests, taking a billion other dumb tests, going early to school and staying later, and really missing my sleep.

this week is still up in the air as to what could happen. busy? probably. and then saturday is PROM which i am going to and i'm so incredibly excited.

next week begins the week of AP tests. Calculus on Wednesday, English on Thursday, then going to Boise for the weekend for my cousin's wedding, the Music finishes those wretched tests on Monday.

two weeks from now any and all stress in high school will over forever.

and in 4 1/2 weeks from now i graduate from high school. "are you excited?" people keep asking me. well, let's just say a resounding HECK YES!!!


going back to choir tour for just a minute, i promised janice i would blog about how i sang in Disneyland with no clothes on.

once upon a time, we sang in Disneyland. we were back stage, all wearing our acapella robes, and, in the case of the chamber girls, wearing our long, bright blue chamber dresses underneath. well, Disney is very particular about who sings on their stages, and they like everything to be very uniform. they informed us that the chamber girls needed to figure out a way so that our chamber dresses wouldn't show out of the bottom. they didn't like that you could see 12 stripes of bright blue towards the ground. so we all went to the dressing room and tried to figure something out, and basically our only option was just to take off our chamber dresses. which we proceeded to do. so, i sang in Disneyland with only my bra and undies on under my acapella dress. it was a very liberating feeling. i think everyone should try it.

i have NOTHING on underneath that!

if you want to see more pictures of tour, go look at the hurst family blog. i don't want to put more pictures on here.

the end
