Ahh fridays. Such wonderful days until some people ruin it for you. You just want friday to be relaxing and not get upset or frustrated about anything over the weekend. Yet, in my strange little world, there's always something that upsets me on a friday. Whether it be that a friend needed moral support, or maybe something as simple as spilling frito pie on your pants, It always seems to bug me until monday. But this friday, was very different from the rest. It was strangely obvious that everyone in the Burleson High School was having the worst friday of their lives, including me. It all started in french. We had taken a unit test that made a majority of our grade. Lately, I've been doing fairly well in french. I had a 97 for last semester's report card and i had been on the A-B honnor roll since the beginning of school. But today, I got back the test as well as my progress report. I had made a 65 including 10 extra bonus points. My semester grade had sudenly become a 73. So I was now off the honor roll, but I ignored the slight disruption in my day and went along with my life.
The next happened in choir, which upset me the most. I am proud to be 1st soprano and I show it very well. I'm a loud singer and I usually lead the sopranos when we have class. Therefore, I take my role as a lead proudly. Yet, that doesn't mean that I have to do all of the soprano's dirty work, right? When our director tells us to get louder or softer, It's slightly obvios that I am the only person in the section that actually takes it seriously and practices as I would perform. But, no one else does. So when our director sees that no one is doing the dynamics, he gets upset with us, THEN they do them correctly and put effort into it. As soon as he's satisfyied and moves on, they go back to their same notorious habits. I was livid and began to rant to our section. They all seemed like they underdtood, and did as I asked. After class, some of the altos came up to me and told me i was being rude and inconsiderate of other people's feeling, when I asked them politely and curteously to try to put a little more energy and effort into their practice. I simply and maturely told them that they didn't seem to have a problem with what I said, and that I needed to speak my mind. I wasn't going to do all of their work for them. The girls began cursing at me and saying that i had no right to speak my mind, when in reality, I'm a section leader of the choir and that it's my job to try to make my section look better and that they couldn't really say anything about what I did.
So, in conclusion, on a friday, someone always has to mess it up.
