zzzz. My blog is boring.

So I have failed to update this thing for quite a while. Sorry folks.

Where did I leave off? Oh yes. College, violin, and camp. Let's start there.

As far as college goes, I GOT MY FIRST ACCEPTANCE LETTER! To the University of Alabama. I probably won't end up going there though. Biology not as great there. Now I'm looking more at Baylor. And the admissions counselor said that it would be nearly impossible for me to do a Bio/PreMed major with a music minor. That is sad news. I'm still gonna play though.

Camp camp camp. This was probably by far the best year. I made second orchestra again, but I didn't care (after the first two days, anyway). The cello section was ALL girls, so we got especially close. I think we were the most friendly section out of all the others. We had cello parties, dressed up our cellos, and they even wore concert black scroll bows for the concert! They were beautiful. Anyway, I ended up FIRST CHAIR! Woot! So exciting (:

And finally, fiddle. Sadie feels neglected I believe, as I have been spending far more time with Henry lately. But I did get Sadie a new bow. A CodaBow! So I believe she should take that into consideration when she is mad at me for ignoring her. Anyway, Henry. I'm starting to sound better on violin. I just can't sightread. And for anyone that even thinks they know me and cello, then they would know I can't sightread worth anything. Now, if I can't do it on my own instrument, why did I think it would be possible to do it on a different instrument?? In a different clef? Oh boy. I am enjoying it though. And I think it is starting to help me with cello too. Well, our first event is next weekend, the Katy Rice Harvest Festival I believe. And in March, we are performing in Downtown Disney! If you are in the area, come see The Cripple Creek Fiddlers (:

Well, that's all for now. I promise I'll update it more often from now on. Pinkie promise.
Love you bunches!
Sarah, Sadie and Henry
