Choir Solo :)

Today I got to get up much later again. It was honestly really nice, and I feel like everyone was more awake and participated in class a lot more. There was also a lot fewer people who were late the past two days. Apparently it's scientifically backed that teenagers have a sort of inner clock that's set a few hours later than adults, which means we naturally stay up later and get up later. Weird stuff. 

And today after school I had a few hours to kill so I went into Zurich and to the English bookstore and just sat and read random books for a good two hours. It was really nice... Is it weird that I missed the feeling of being surrounded by books? I don't know. 

Afterwards I went back to the school and tried out for a choir solo. The teachers quickly decided, and since there will be four shows (each with two solos in them) I get to do the solo I auditioned for in two shows, and another girl will be doing it in the other two shows. Which I think is an awesome way of letting more people have a solo. So that's pretty exciting, especially because the song is in French, and I basically just went with how I felt it should be pronounced... Yay!!

And hello from the cute black cat that ran away when I tried to take a picture of it this morning. :)

Friday! Week 11!

Today I had a music test first period, which was... Interesting. All the notes have different names than they do in the U.S., and they use a different rhythm-speaking system than we do here. 

Choir was awesome as usual, and I signed up to try out for one of two solos for the concert at the end of the year. We'll see how that goes, but there were only a few other people signed up so... *crosses fingers*

On the way home from school I realized that I hadn't had coffee in a while, so of course I had to do the classic #whitegirl thing and get some. :)

I also Skyped with my mom. Miss you!
