Festival, the Last Snow Day, and Maunz's Visit

Ooops, no post in a long time again. I'm sorry. I'm busy.

So on Friday, February 29th, I went home after school to change and then get back to school for the band festival thing. At home, I realized that nobody was there to give me a ride back to the school, so I made Gary drive me (again). At the school, we had to wait a while and then we boarded the buses and went to some Junior High School about an hour away I think. There, we were introduced to "our" room (the workshop). After a little more waiting and vocal run-throughs, we finally went to the warm-up room, warmed up, and went out on the stage afterwards to perform our 3 pieces. Right after that, we went to the sightreading room. Sightreading means that we get 2 pieces of music that we've never seen before, Mr Hilton has a few minutes to explain them to us very fast, we have to remember everything he tells us, and then we play. Sounds hard, isn't actually that bad.
We got an overall 1, which is the best score. It was really a fun night.
Gary picked Claudia and me up from the school later with his friend Matt (a hottie :D) and on our way to my house, we stopped at McDonald's and got fries and delicious greenshakes.
Saturday night, I babysitted Jake and Grayson while Courtney babysitted somewhere else. On Sunday, I didn't really do anything.
The following week was rather unexciting. Wednesday, we had another snow day. Technically, this one was the last one because L'Anse Creuse only gets 4 per school year. So, if there has to be another one, we'll have to go to school one more day in summer. That'd really suck. So the snow better stops now.
On Thursday, I went bowling with Kyle, Heather, and Aimee again. This time, Adam, who turned out to be one of my Precalc classmates, went too. It was, again, a looooot of fun.
Friday was a very awesome day. We only had a half day, and when we got home, Courtney and mom had to go to Courtney's eye doctor appointment right away. So I was home alone, and I decided to clean the house while they were gone to make mom happy and to thank her for everything she's always doing for me :) It worked, she was very happy.
Around 5, Maunz and her family got here! Her parents and brother are in Michigan right now, visiting her, so they came on Friday to visit me. We went out for dinner and then, Maunz's family went to their hotel while she stayed here. We watched a movie with my family and later, we went to Taco Bell with Gary which was hilarious. The two of them had to meet, they're 2 of my very best friends! It was very awesome.
Maunz and I spent the rest of the night watching TV in the basement until we fell asleep.
The next day, the Hullmanns picked us up and we went to Detroit to visit the Detroit Science Center. It was kinda cool. In the afternoon, we came back to Harrison Township and had dinner at the Old Country Buffet - very yummy. Then, unfortunately, they had to leave and go back to Jackson again.
Sunday was rather unexciting again, and so was today. Tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday I will have to take the ACT.

I'm kinda nervous about that.
