Darn English and Reading

Well, I found out today that I am not doing to well in my english and reading grades. I am missing some work, so I get to finish that tonight. My goal for this quarter was to earn all A's, but it is looking like that won't be the case. I will try harder next quarter though, and maybe I will be able to recover my study habbits. It all kind of went away this year, as last year I was a straight A student. This year I have earned mostly B's and some A's, so I hope to change that next quarter.

I guess you can fairly say that my academic part of my life is begining to fall apart. However, musicaly, I am blooming. Playing trombone is something that I am extremely good at. I have applied for the all state band and symphony orchestra. My audition is on April 1st. Playing piano is also going extremely well for only having lessons for 6 months. I played a middle class C solo, and I earned a first. On trombone, I played a tough class B solo, and earned a first. Singing bass in choir, and I sung a class B solo, I also earned a first. I am currently working on a Class A solo for trombone, and my private teacher called me,"Scary," because I pick up things so quikly.

My social life isn't going to well either. So far, seventh grade hasn't turned out to be very lucky as the number would suggest. There has been social improvement from last year, but it is very hard to secure relationships with other people. Most people in seventh grade are crazy jerks. I didn't mention this above, but I am in Jazz II. I find that most high schoolers are much easier to get along with, and they are much more friendly and less on the "Joke" side. If they joke, they handle it very well, unlike most people my age do.

Anyways, I hope most everything improves. My dad has said that seventh and eighth grade were his worst years socialy, because most people are as I described them above. Screaming, idiotic, jerks.
