For those of you that actually talk to me online (really, why do you want to...? o..o; ), I'm sorry I haven't been online much lately. They tripled my hours per week at work since being demoted. They talked to me today about a sort of re-promotion-ish thing, but I don't know. I'm still considering quitting as a major option. In fact, I used it as an advantage for my drum-major interview the other day. :3 But I'll get into that later. For now, I have no life since I work at least 4 hours every day after school every day except Friday, Friday's already been eaten by things, Weekends are 8 hour shifts at work...
I've got no time... ^^;

Anyway, back to the drum majoring thing (which is like the conductor and leader for the marching band, for those of you who don't know.). When my busy schedule was mentioned during the interview, targeting it as a possible eater of what time I do have, I told them that most of my schedule I could adjust to fit a drum major's lifestyle and that I was fully prepared to quit my job at Shoprite. So, if I get it, I now have an even more significant reason to quit. >:3
The other questions were things like "How would you handle someone challenging your authority, saying that they shouldn't listen to you because they have a higher seat in concert band". This was a good question because I'm actually last seat right now for concert band... ^^; It's not because I'm a poor musician, it's because I never got a chance to try out. I got very ill during seat tryouts and when I got back, I felt it was more important to practice my concert music than work at some still seat tryout piece that didn't really matter in a long run... Anyway, I responded that I'd tell them that I out ranked them in marching band and I had the hat to prove it. (Our band members have big hats. Our band leaders look like they have black bears on their heads... ^^; ) Of course, this lead to a joke about me pointing to my hat and saying "Mine's bigger"... ^^;

All of the questions really targeted one's potential weaknesses. I felt sorry for a freshman that was in my squad this year. The director almost made her cry when he asked her what she'd do if, as a sophomore next year, a senior confronted her... ^^;
I, luckily, felt prepared for all of the questions... which is weird because I had no idea what they would ask or anything. I didn't rehearse... just knew what I'd do, I guess... ^^;

I have finals starting Tuesday. Just one more week and I'm finally done with this madness... Actually, it'll probably get worse... Shoprite will probably discover I'm out of school and book me for even more hours...

... I'm happy! D:
Apparently, this is something I do in real life... ^^; Saying something really positive, but looking really depressed while I say it. Weird... ^^;

I have a picture I feel I should upload...
...Maybe tomorrow...
...or not.
...Who knows.
