Well, we'll be leaving tomorrow to go to my grandpa's surprise party. We'll have to leave at 7:15 a.m, which normally I would hate, but since that's the exact same time I have to be out waiting for the bus every morning, I guess it doesn't make much of a difference. :) That'll be kind of weird, we might actually pass my bus when we're leaving! We're driving to a city about an hour and a half away and flying out from there instead of the airport here in our city, because that airport was the only one that offered a direct flight to the city that my grandparents live in. So, hopefully the party will be fun! We've done everything we can to keep my grandpa from finding out about the party, and it looks like so far he hasn't suspected anything. =D
Well, school's still going okay. Unfortunately I'm going to have to make up a history test since I'm not going to be at school tomorrow- the test is Monday, but my teacher is giving us our study guides tomorrow and I'll have to get mine on Monday and finish it before I take the test. But luckily it looks like that's the only test I'll have to make up. Also, we're having auditions for the musical this year on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. This year the musical is going to be Footloose. I'm really debating trying out for it. Lauren and Shaun, my two friends, are trying out for it and they keep telling me I should try out too, and now that I've told my mom about it she really wants me to also. I would definitely give it a shot if it wasn't for one little thing. Well, on Monday, they're just going to teach us a dance routine, which obviously, I wouldn't mind at all since I'm a dancer. On Tuesday, however, they require that we sing a song for the director. If it was just in front of the director, I wouldn't really care, but the problem is that you apparently have to sing in front of all the other people auditioning. I already don't think that I sing that well, but I know that when I'm doing it in front of people, I get extremely nervous and sound really bad. lol. You don't have to be able to sing to be in the musical, because they said if you only dance they can just have you be one of the background characters in the chorus and you can just lip-sing. I just wish I didn't have to sing in front of people at the audition! The other thing I'd be slightly worried about is that fact that you hardly have any time to memorize the dance routine. They teach it to you on Monday and then you have to perform it in a group on Wednesday. I usually can't memorize stuff like that in my dance classes in that short amount of time. So I just don't know what I should do. I really would like to be in the musical, especially since my friends are in it. I think that would be a lot of fun. But it's just those two things I'm worried about. I guess I'll just have to think about it and decide by Monday.

Well I hope you're having a great time at your grandpa's right now and that he's been surprised! I love surprise parties! hehe. It sure is a lot of work though (but fun work) to keep it hidden from the person! =] haha Tell me how it goes, and hope you guys have a safe trip back.
Ooh yes you should definitely go out for the musical! But I know what you mean! I haate auditioning in front of people! It drives me crazy. But one thing I've learned is that you are your own worse critic, so I'm sure you sound a whole lot better than you think!! So let me know how it goes definitely! ;) I'm are going to sound great! The title of the musical sounds pretty interesting....Lol
Sorry in the second to last sentence I meant to say, "I'm sure you are going to sound great!" stupid typo LOL
Yes, we had a great time at the party and we did manage to surprise my grandpa! I just wish things didn't have to go downhill so much with my family- we went from celebrating to mourning in less than a week. :( I do think things will get better, it just takes time.
Well, I was leaning towards trying out for the musical, but I heard that the rehearsing schedule is really intense and I decided it would probably be too much with me already doing dance. So sadly I'm not going to be in it, but at least my friends probably will so I can still go see them in it!
Ooh yes those rehearsals can get hectic I'm sure! So I think you made the right choice. It can really drive you insane to try to do too much! hehe
I'm glad you could surprise your grandpa and that you had fun! =] But I'm really sorry about your family. Life is so unpredictable and awful sometimes. But you're right. Things will get better.
