So today was a bittersweet day for me.

Bad news first:

Derek Jasper's viewing was today, and though I didn't go, but my sister did. And when she came home, she talked about it for a little bit with my parents, and my mother managed, yet again, to find a way to talk to me about why she doesn't want me driving a lot or too far. I'm used to it by now, but really? To turn our conversation about Derek's tragic death into a lecture about the dangers of being a young driver. I think that's low, even for my mother. Not to mention, it's getting old. Honestly, find something else to lecture me about already.

Today my choir decided that they didn't want to go to State. I'm so mad about that. I mean we got the HIGHEST score possible at Region, and people don't want to go show off some more just because they are too lazy to work on the songs more or don't want to spend a few hours of their time on a Saturday to go. It makes me angry, and I really wanted to go, but whatever, can't change the way people are. I will go one of these years though. I don't care if I have to blackmail people or pull the guilt trip. Whatever. I'll go.

And now, for the good news:

I'm getting paid on Friday [finally] and so I'm going to go to Barnes and Noble with Taylor on Saturday, and then shopping with Lauren on Sunday. Should be a pretty awesome weekend.
