ISAT's

After we got home from Arizona, school continued and I drowned in makeup work, but it was worth it - Arizona's awesome! Anyway, ISATs (Illinois Standardized Academic Test) and they're really, really, really, really booooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnnngggg. There's three math, three reading, and two science. We take the science on Monday, but we've finished the math and reading. Finally! I applied for the Wizard of Oz crew, and I'm in stage crew. When we had the snow day on Tuesday, so rehearsal went until 6. Ugh! It was really late, but it was pretty fun because I met a bunch of new people. When you're sitting in the hallway outside the music room, most of the Ozziens and Munchkins are practicing their acts - singing and dancing - and it's the kind of atmosphere that makes you wish you could sing and dance and act and not just sit there and socialize. (There's also those main characters that sit in a circle and play truth or dare and gossip, so I'm out there too.) But I've made friends in the crew, and we have the same opinions, so it's nice to talk to people who have opinions the same as mine.

As you probably know, I play City League Basketball, so I haven't slept in for probably 4 weeks, and now full-on play rehearsals are on from 8 to 3  tomorrow, then next week the shows start. Anyway, we had a pretty good City League team , Cherry's Cherry Bomb's, but I didn't think we were good enough to win the tournament where we go against our school, Bernotas, and Luhndal. Luckily, I was wrong, and we won the tournament 10 - 11! Bernoats was up 9 to 0 in the first quarter, and we were very discouraged. In the second quarter, we only gave them one free throw, and Maria scored us our winning free throw in the last 45 seconds. Much to intense for my liking, but it was defiantly worth it.
