AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
A huge scream is at least one good way I've heard to get rid of stress. Too bad it doesn't work so well.
It's been quite awhile since I last posted and a lot has happened. Starting at last time I wrote...Spring break. Mom, Lydia, and I all went over to grandma's house where we had a relaxing and fun break...oh and I bought my laptop at Sam's Club.
We got back and went back to schoolwork and normalcy.
Some other Main events...Last stake activity, Meagan and I were the only ones from our ward to attend...and we wore dresses because dad messed up. We did skits of primary songs.
I got my hair cut April 18th, I think it was. It's not really cut, just trimmed with some layers cut.
I've sung the last three Sundays in a row with the choir. First was Easter, then Stake Conference, then yesterday was High-Councilman Sunday, which the choir always sings in.
Last Friday I went to the Mock-Musicfest and learned that I really don't know my musicfest pieces as well as I thought I did, so I have a lot to work on for piano.
Also, I joined the Student Council, for some reason now unknown to me. Tonight I have to turn in a "Brick and Mortar" school(as us WAVAians call most public schools)Constitution with a presentation about how that could be adapted into a virtual school, like WAVA. I found three constitutions of schools outside the state but I'm having trouble trying to put together a presentation for them.
I'm behind in schoolwork as well...well not so much behind as having to make stuff up because I messed them up the first time. I'm gone from an A- average to a B average which doesn't really seem like that much of a fall, but it is. At least I'm not failing any of my classes like I was at this time last Semester.
I don't think I've written anything structural on any of my stories since before spring break. I have some ideas, but I just don't have the time to write lately. It's driving me crazy. Either I'm busy or I have writer's block.
I want to go camping. Spending some time around a camp fire in the middle of the woods sounds so good right now. I got excited because we had to pay the fee to go to girlscamp yesterday. It means girlscamp is getting closer...even if it is still three months into the future. Girlscamp will be fun. I'm going on the canoe trip this year and then will get to dress up for the mock disaster. It'll be interesting...plus, Meagan's a YCL and Sis. Mann is the Ward Camp Director so that'll definitely add some crazyness to everything this year.

Spokane Stake Dance
Saturday was very fun. I got to sleep in late, which was nice. We missed the Fire Station Service Project because mom didn't want to take us, but that was okay. Around two I went to Meagan's house. I helped her write her talk for Sacrament Meeting today.
Meagan took me to the Spokane Stake dance later that night and she was very right in saying that it was so much better than the Colville Stake dances. I didn't sit down the whole dance. They guys I danced with actually talked with me instead of staring off into space. I got asked some strange questions though. Some guy, I think his name was Nathan, asked me what color my toothbrush was. It was kind of strange telling him I had two, a green and a blue. Another guy asked me what kind of toothpaste I used, and then we got into a debate about which kind was best. That was a little weird. And then there was another guy who went on and on about dirt biking...I didn't get a single word in. I think he just liked the sound of his voice, personally. Oh, and I met three guys named Zach...it must be a popular name in their stake.
Anyway, everyone was dancing nearly the whole time. Despite the fact that I only knew two people at this dance, Meagan and Jake, the people were a lot more friendly and comfortable to be around than the people I do know in my own Stake.
After the dance we went back to the Kelley's. Meagan's dad had picked up Twilight while we were at the dance, so we wanted to watch that but we were so tired when we got home that we just crashed. It was around midnight though and since Meagan had a talk we didn't want to stay up too late. The dance was definitely worth being so tired today for.
Church was good, I guess. It was pretty normal. After church, we barely had time to eat dinner before me and dad left to go to Stake choir practice. After that we attended a baptism and then went to the fireside, which we got to late. Bro. Terry spoke about his mission that he just got back from. That was fun. He had a ton of pictures that he showed us.
Okay, I'm tired now so I'm gonna go to bed. Until next time,

Spring!
Today I'm really happy. It's the first day of Spring and the sun is out!
This morning we didn't have a lesson or anything for Seminary. We ate pancakes, sausages, and hot cocoa while working on scripture masteries...of course, since I'm finished with mine, I didn't really do anything except talk with people. It was fun though.
Last Wednesday at mutual we did 'Hold to the Iron Rod Chef'...or Iron Chef. Each class brought an appetizer, then we decorated cakes to see who was the best. Our appetizer got third place and our cake got second. It was fun, even if we didn't win anything.
Yesterday was the usual go into town and piano lessons and stuff. I'm in the middle of three book series right now and I picked up the next book of all three of them at the library yesterday...at least I'll have plenty to read for a few days.
I've got the Sonatina I'm playing for music fest almost memorized...or one third of it anyway. Since it has three different movements it might as well be three different songs. I've pretty much got the first movement memorized, which I'm pretty excited about. It's an awesome song.
Here's some links to a person playing the different movements of the song if you want to hear what it's gonna sound like when I'm finished.
YouTube - Clementi Sonatina Op.36 No.1 Movement 1
YouTube - Clementi Sonatina Op.36 No.1 Movement 2
YouTube - Clementi Sonatina Op.36 No.1 Movement 3
Tonight mom is taking us to the church to go babysit...that'll probably be boring. I'll probably bring one of my books and read the whole time unless I'm really needed.
Oh, and I wrote my research paper on Muzio Clementi...the composer who wrote the sonatina mentioned before...he's probably my favorite composer at the moment. I like him better than Mozart, Beethoven, or Haydn, the other famous composers in his time.
Yea, so I guess that's it for now,
