I'm doing 42 things
This is about me and Sara Terry, my fellow flute player. We are in the same grade, going to be seniors next year. We have been the top two in our grade for as long as I can remember [8th grade, when I first started playing flute]. The problem? I HAVE ALWAYS BEATEN HER. Last year, I made section leader and played the piccolo. This year, she made section leader, so I gave her a hug and I was happy for her, this was the first time she had ever beaten me. But I will not give up my piccolo and I will beat her at the next audition. You just wait, Sara Terry. Christmas auditions, you are going down.
*Don’t worry, we get along. We flutes are just very competitive.

How I did it: I practiced and practiced. It's hard to figure out, at first, how to get the right octave, but if you practice scales and jumping octaves you get used to it fairly quickly. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just got on there and looked and looked, and when I found one that looked acceptable and had decent information and a nice price, I bought it. :) Read how I did it…

I’m pretty sure that this goal will end up in the ‘I give up’ section. Just so that everyone knows. I sucksucksuck at being social. I am just the keep-to-myself type, unless I just really feel like being outgoing. I’m very talkative with my friends, and if I’m with my friends, and meet someone else that I don’t know, I act the same way with them, outgoing. But if I am at school, or with people I don’t like, or at least respect, I will treat them coldy, and I don’t even mean to. I don’t know how to act any differently. It just doesn’t come to me, and I don’t know how to change. Any advice would be soso helpful, thanks.
