I have a few announcements, and some latest news. First up, my announcements. I want to announce that I will be posting only once a week, if there is a week with 5 straight school days, and there are many coming up. I'll posting on Friday, or Saturday. The latest news will come soon, but I have news already. I'm saying there will be more. I'll separate the news from this.

OK. I just received the news, and I'm disappointed. The news I already had was that we had our E-Team competition. It consists of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. The 'E' in E-Team means 'Economics-Team'. We answer many different questions other than economic questions, like history and math. Each grade goes against each other, like 6th goes against other 6th grade schools, and 7th goes against 7th, etc. We combine our points in the end. If you score, in total, in the top 6 out of any school (there are about 30 middle schools, but only about 6 go against each other), you get to go to the next round. Unfortunately, we lost, and didn't make it. But at least we had fun. And at least we came in 2nd. Tomorrow we get to go to a restaurant if we bring a note saying we could go. We also had fun at The Lakeland Center (place of competition), to and from there, also.
And just 2 days ago, we went to a pizza place at 11:30, next class was orchestra :( , and after that we went to Sonic to get Ice Cream Shakes (I got caramel). Then we went to back (we saved the shakes) to school at around 1:00 ( it kind of looked like we were showing off). We went back to Ms. Waldon-Major's room (E-Team coach) and ate our shakes there until 8th period. Sorry if I didn't explain this, but every other day there are odd and even days for middle school (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th period; 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th period, repeating, etc.). We had a lot of fun.

I am also having an EYS concert somewhere in April, along with a performance with Harrison School of The Arts, combining orchestras with my school and Jewett Academy. In EYS, we have to play 1 challenging piece (if you know what challenging means to me, then yes, you'd know that if you are not a good violinist, you'd probably play all of it, but with not-so-good accuracy on intonation), 'Star-Spangled Banner'. You think that's not hard, try playing up to high G, and play in B flat! When saying high G, I play in 4 1/2 position. So wish me the best for the next following weeks.
