Well someone is certainly living up to their expectations. Like most everybody I usually like to be right but there are some times when I wish I were proved wrong.
Despite being proved right when I wish I would have been wrong (in this particular situation) it was a pretty good day after I got done with school. The weather has been making me sluggish but I slogged through the day with the help of some friends.
The bright spot of my school day – I skipped Cognitive Psy and had a lovely chat with a friend; she brightened my day considerably. We are hoping to be officers in Psi Chi next year (if we are still around) and we were trying to size up the competition. She wants to be president (or at least vice president) – so would I for that matter but I would step aside for her and be happy with treasurer or secretary although I hate taking notes. Some dude we never heard of wants to run for president and we were trying to figure out who he is, and if he is qualified, ha.
Tonight my husband and I went to my stepson’s band concert. I didn’t really feel like going because of the aforementioned sluggishness but we went. I was disheartened when I saw that the choir was going to sing too. I was hoping the concert wouldn’t be long so could get back home and chill. My expectations for the evening were very low.
My stepson is in symphonic band so he always plays last. Their performance was good. They have a competition coming up next week so this was kind of a dress rehearsal. Watching them perform made me miss being in band – I’ll have to get out my trombone and practice.
The choir and some vocal soloists performed. The choir was OK, not my favorite, some of the soloists were good but a few were very nervous and almost quit singing in the middle of their performances. One poor girl finished her song and left the performance area in tears – I don’t know why though, she wasn’t bad. I wanted to help her finish her song =) She sang “Caro Mio Ben” and it too made miss singing lessons. I sang that song when I was taking voice lessons … well shoot is has been over 10 years now!
After the concert my husband and I went to dinner at one of our old haunts and ran into a couple of friends there. It was a nice way to cap off the day, chatting with old friends about old times with a little bit of politics talk and silliness thrown in.
So there I was a proved wrong. I expected the evening to be boring at the very least -I didn’t expect much from the whole day really- but it turned out to be lovely.
