Observing current events and evaluating myself

Ahh summer. How good it feels.

Tonight I went to old high school's choir concert. Overall, they sounded pretty good. Treble choir was much smaller and they kind of mixed it up with less people being in jazz choir. They sometimes sounded softer with the smaller groups, but overall, it was good and sounded in tune. Now I see how old I am, since I didn't recognize most of the choir being a lot of youngins and newbies, and most of the people I did know had graduated. Sort of wierd.

Sometimes I wonder and question how independent I am. I was thinking of getting a job, but then I'm afraid that I'm going to be in this catch 22, since my mom wants me to just stay at home and relax, and I'm afraid she's going to get mad at me for getting a job. Seems wierd, but I guess I sort of don't know how to explain it. I don't drive either : ( Well, I don't have much time now to continue to write in here, so I'll write later and eat now.

I got in!

I can't believe I got in!
