Finally it's Winter Break! For 2 weeks! The 1st 3 weeks got hectic, though. (Plus a 4th Sunday.)
My school had Late Start for the 1st 2 Wednesdays.
The 1st Wednesday night of December showed a full moon over the night sky.
At the 2nd church I go to, I signed up for Handbell practice with Sean and Ozzy.
It's what you play music by holding onto different bells which ring in different tones.
I've been practicing with this Handbell group every Thursday for this month.
We're supposed to be performing this Thursday - yes, on Christmas Eve during Mass.
December 10th was the last full band ensemble rehearsal for the rest of the school year.
We only had after school rehearsals like that whenever marching season is going on.
But since it's over for the rest of the school year, so are the rehearsals. :-)
Now it's Concert Band season. The school band and the school's Jazz band played in the gym.
We played on Wednesday night and Friday morning during 3rd period.
The only difference was that Wednesday, the handbell choir from another church appeared in the middle of our concert.
On Friday, 4 old men from the school (including our band instructor) sang in harmony a Christmas song for 2 assemblies. (Like I said, during 3rd period class.)
I hated to do this, but I had to ask my mother a favor while I was busy with school and church.
She bought presents for me to give to a couple of people for the Secret Santa stuff.
On December 5th, the Night Parade at West Covina was technically the last parade for the marching season. Our band couldn't participate the next Saturday after that due to the rain.
I like the rain, so no worries. Plus, the Night Parade was pretty cool. The next day I caroled.
It was for the church. Veronica and Ozzy came along, and they sing pretty good. :-)
We went to the Women's Shelter at Los Alamitos, then went back to the church to sing for Mass.
Oh, you didn't know? I signed up for the choir at church. It pretty much started last month.
My parents signed me & Connie up for Confirmation at another church.
So now I go to 2 churches every Sunday. Ouch. The pressure just pushed down on my shoulders.
But I don't mind at all. My best guy friend was there, so I was a bit relaxed. Usually I'm shy. hee.
It was funny on December 5 & 6, because on both days the call time was 2 PM. Get it? Hahaha~
Again & Again & Again & Again~!!! LoL Ahhh~~~~~ Anyways, Connie's birthday was the 8th.
We had a birthday party for her on the 12th with her friends. It was a great atmosphere.
Connie's sometimes just too stubborn and a big jerk dumbass to figure out how nice life is.
There were so many meetings on the 7th during lunch that I only had the feeling capacity of going to just one meeting - the CSF meeting. There was a photo shoot and discussion.
There was also the Holiday Bazaar on the 11th. This time, the booths were inside the gym.
It was a very nice entertainment atmosphere. Hanukkah also began at sundown that day.
On the 13th, my father forgot about me going to the choir practice at 3:30 p.m.
I ended up going to church a few minutes until the Mass started. I still got to sing though...
The next day there was a mix-up. My band instructor said there was no way we could fit.
The photographers were stupid. So he just canceled the shoot and decided to set up the next one.
The original photographer from 2 years ago was whom my band instructor wanted.
