OMG!!!! amazingness!!!!!!!!

ok, so just pretened i posted this BEFORE i went to sleep. because then, in my world, it would have still been friday, even though the clock said 1:05. lol

so school wasn't all that great, but whats new?
we watched Wall-E in FOT, but we had to answer questions on it. *sigh*
i ate lunch alone, because i had a different lunch for states.
THEN we got on the bus to go to MSU where our states festival was.
that was kinda funny... the three biggest guys plus one of the smalles girls sat in one row. and mr. tra sat with steve (another one of the biggest guys, no offense) in one of the very back seats--usually a one-person seat. lol
also, mr. tra expected us to be silent, and focus on our music, or an example sightreading. YEAH RIGHT! lol.
when we got there, it wasn't too bad. we got to hear North Harford sing, and they were AMAZING.
also, their auditorium is SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!! im jealous.
then we had to go to the warm up room, which is extremely live. it was crazy.
unfortunately, the stage was only a little live, so it was hard to get used to. i wish we had been able to practice on the stage somehow.
after that, we went to the sightreading room. it was kinda small for so many people (around 50-ish maybe? i forget.)
BUT
im sure you want to hear how we did, right? ill tell you.
we got straight 2's on our songs (2=excellent). which actually isn't that bad, if you think about it. 1)we were on a new stage. 2)the county adjudicators score more on opinion, whereas at the state level they have rubrics.
BUTBUTBUT
WE GOT 1'S ON OUR SIGHTREADING!!!! (1=superior). which is totally insane, because we haven't really practiced sightreading all that much, especially melodic, which is pretty hard. BUT WE DID IT!!!! :D
after that, we had to listen to the MSU choir. they were having a dress rehearsal for an upcoming concert. it was hard to listen to because the director had a microphone and he KEPT TALKING!!! D:
the bus ride home was a bit better. we could listen to music, text, talk, whatever. it was much more relaxed.
then i got to the school, changed into my dress that i wore to swing (white w/black polka dots?) and mrs. smalley picked me up and brought me to their house where i had grilled chicken, green beans, rice and pineapple. yummy :)
after she took a picture in front of the house of me ian and caitlin, then we left! i forget what time we left, but we got there around 7, which was pretty good timing.
the city is sooooo beautiful!!!
so we parked, then headed to the national theatre. unfortunately, the doors for seating didn't open 'til 7:30 so we walked down to the corner, hoping the starbucks was open. it wasn't. but there was a little street vendor on the corner, so i bought this yummy lemon ice cup thing. it was pretty good. we waited until around 7:20-ish, then went back inside and waited to be seated.
the theatre is GORGEOUS!!! im jealous (again. lol)
then the play started, and it was amazing!!!!
after it finished, we waited outside the stage for something like an hour, maybe(?) for harvey fierstein to come out. ian REALLY wanted to meet him, as he played the part of tevye in fiddler (who was a LOT like ian... it was kinda funny...) and he played the gay brother in mrs doubtfire (apparently ANOTHER one of ian's favorite films... how many does he HAVE?) so anyways, we got a picture with him, and he signed our playbills :D and i was the only one who handed mine to him myself. lol.
so then after that we went back to the garage and headed home. that was pretty uneventful. we got out of DC quite easily. BUT something did happen, but that's not an OI story. so read Just Your Average Teen if you wanna find out the one thing that happened.
then i got home around 1:05-ish, checked facebook, updated my status, told Dad i was home, then fell into bed, after barely managing to change into pjs. if i had been wearing jeans or khakis, it would have no big deal. but a dress? yeah, i was NOT sleeping in that.
then i woke up at 12:00 this afternoon, came downstairs, checked facebook, updated my status, then started my post! which is probably my longest post ever... yesterday was a very long day.
