School this year has been going awesomely. All four classes of mine. I'm gaining friends. Which is super! And, Mr. D surprised me on Friday by asking me to be an octet leader, effective immediately. I was kinda like WHOA. I thought I was gonna be able to take the year easy. No responsibilities to anybody but myself. But noooooo. He thought that was funny. So now I have to hold a weekly practice for 2 people from each section who were assigned to me. For the rest of the year. Also by the end of next week I am supposed to have a Christmas piece chosen for my octet to perform at the Christmas concert. Needless to say, I am pretty freaked. I started out the week by... FORGETTING ABOUT OCTET PRACTICE! In my defense, I had a crazy weekend and a terrible 18th birthday. Well not terrible but... not wonderful. It kinda sucked because I broke my phone Thursday night. Was it Friday? I think it was Thursday... I don't know. I'm confused. So anyway. I couldn't text anybody on my birthday. My mom tried to help by letting me use HER phone but.. messaging on her phone didn't work all day. So... it was a nice try. They were supposed to ship my new phone on Saturday but they didn't end up shipping it until today. Which means. NO PHONE ON TUESDAY! Ahhhh! I am gonna die. I always text Nick on Tuesday night. What to do, what to do? Should I text him when I get my phone? Or should I wait until NEXT Tuesday? Aaahhh. I think I'll probably wait until next Tuesday unless they give me a new number. Maybe I'll wait anyway. I just don't know.
Enough.
About.
That.
I ran four miles! Granted, it was like. A month ago. And granted, it took me 45 minutes at least. But. It was awesome. I was so proud!
Well, enough for now!

Oh boy. I haven't posted for a long time. Well... this post is going to be about friends.
So... sometimes you have friends who will only be there for you for a short time. And then you have friends who will be there for you forever. And.. sometimes it is easy to get the two mixed up. But.. what it really boils down to is this. True friends will always be there for you in the end, ready to forgive you for whatever you've done. And part time friends will be there for a while.. and they will be fun.. but in the end it turns out that they don't really care like you thought they did. Save yourself some pain and just..
There's a good saying that goes like this. "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold." All friends are precious, even if they don't last long. But it's important not to mistreat or undervalue your true friends. Don't take them for granted. Ever.
I've learned this today. I had some friends. Then I made some new ones and they were a lot of fun! I let my old friends go because I was so distracted with the new ones. And it turned out that they weren't the amazing friends I thought they were. And so I've been kinda.. depressed because I was a jerk to my old friends and my new friends basically dumped me without a second thought. But today my old friends called me up and asked me to go get some ice cream. And ... I'm never gonna make this mistake again. And I encourage you not to. Always keep the old friends unless they're a bad influence. Don't be petty like me. I'm lucky it ended out alright. Sure, it's lame that I got dumped on my butt, but I am so lucky to have good friends who are STILL there for me even when I haven't been there for them.
