Ugh. Spring. I don't like Spring very much. "But it's lovely! The weather is absolutely gorgeous!" Hmph. I don't like it very much. I don't like the heat.
I'm going to miss winter, as strange as that may sound. I'll miss curling up in bed from some kind of frostbite, wrapping my numb, blue hands around a mug of hot chocolate, wearing layers upon layers in order to keep myself warm... Winter does this to me. Now I need time to settle back into my shirts. Goodbye sweaters. Goodbye knee-length socks. Goodbye hot chocolate on cold, winter nights.
The Spring Fair at school had come and gone (sob just like winter). The day was filled with stalls selling stuffs from cakes to alcohol (only for adults) to heatbags, performances by the many bands at school, tours around the campus, pony rides, face painting and giant balloon castles. The weather - well, it was perfect many had said. I, of course, didn't really agree because 1) I don't appreciate hot weather and 2) I had to wear stockings during my performances later in the day.
Nevertheless, it was a fun day. I spent most of the time wandering around with SALLY ;) and I kept moving in and out of the boarding house, always practicing my guitar solo for the Jazz band performance, which turned out very very good! We performed Birdland and House of the Rising Sun (Again!!), both very heavy parts for the guitars. I had my guitar solo (again!) for House, which I didn't mess up this time. I soooo nailed that solo >,< . The orchestra combined up with concert band and performed selections from Moulin Rouge and Pirates of The Carribbean. Eversince then, the songs have been stuck in my head all weekend. Oh the obsession!
Few pictures to end this post. All taken by SALLY ;)
Cheers.Welcome, Spring :)
