So, it was a nice day today, all the way up til Orchestra.
DAMN the kids who think challenging the freshmen is all right. Bunch of cowardly nags.
Hah, challenges. All these kids behind you challenge you and you pwn them, all these older people who think freshmen are easy bait challenge you. Not your best day, but hey, at least you didn't lose your seat.
I got challenged by two people today, and I kept my seat. There is NO. WAY. I am going to first violin. NEVER. neverevereverever. I like my seat, I like my section, I like my stand partner. LEMME STAY HERE!!
But alas, I am not in the mood for rambling about that. What I'd much rather talk about is something else that's been bothering me for a long time.
The first three chairs in my orchestra are filled with three people who went to my middle school and sat in the front of our middle school orchestra. So goes the legacy of the first chairs:
3 years ago: Senior at TJHSST
2 years ago: Junior at my school
1 year ago: 2 Sophomore rivals at my school
this year: me
The senior is really good, I think he's totally serious about his violin...unless he aims to be an engineer or something (that would be a total waste of talent). I once played as orchestra concertmaster for his duet with this viola senior also in TJ. Nerdy musicians. :D
You know what sucks? I mean, my middle school is known to rival this other school for 1st place every year, but it turns out, most of the people think that my middle school is really good just because of that one junior who went to it. DAMN, she's a total pro and she sits up front, never rivaled, always first chair in our high school orchestra. I heard that she also got first chair in Senior Regionals.
The two sophomores are right up there too, and they've been rivals ever since middle school. The whole orchestra pitts them against each other, even the teacher. Although it's cool to them and everything, they're totally different when it comes to their violins, so I don't think they should be compared. After all, who would pit a guy and a girl against each other? Well, I guess it makes sense, since a lot of love manga that I hear of has something to do with rivals. Hmm...
But although the junior and the sophomores are all the way up in front of the orchestra, there is one complete idiot and loser who managed to fail herself and go all the way to the bottom of the whole freakin orchestra.
Nah, I'm exaggerating about the chairs. I'm actually in the front somewhere in the 2nd violins. But I'm soooo humiliated. Before I came, they were probably all, Look at all those middle school alumnis! They're all the way in the front of the highest orchestra! Look at how well they play! Oh, there's a freshman coming up from the same middle school as them! Watch out for her! She's--oh.
THAT, my friends, is where I fail.
And yeah, some people might say I'm too obsessive or overreacting over this, but I'm just that kind of person when it comes to standards and instruments. I think I'm paranoid when it comes to these things, as well. And I sometimes think there's some special connection between me and somebody else even if we only sat next to each other and shared, like, two words. *hides head in shame*
Oh, well, it's not like I spend my free time typing in a blog instead of talking to my friends, right? Right?
