Three day weekends are supposed to be restful, aren't they?
Ohoh but this morning I SHOT out of bed with a heart attack at ~8 thinking that I was horribly late for school and then I was like OMG no school! Which was nice. :) Although it kind of killed all sleep after that.
Ahaha so today me and Adam became babysitters!
I was LATE to quartet practice in the morning, not because I wasn't up (I was up at eight!!! T__T) but because I woke mom up IN TIME to get there and she was like "...waiiit, let me get dreeeessed..." (sleepy), and then she takes a really really long time so by the time she's done we were gonna be late, and then she looks at the time and goes, "Oh man, I took too long, now time, now I can't send you because I have to make breakfast for dad because he's giving a lecture today (dad gave a lecture today at our house about godknowswhat) so go wake Adam up or something (Adam was still blissfully sleeping in)" so then I was like "AHHHH ADAM GET UP SAVE ME I'M LATE T___T" and he grumbled and got up and on the way there both of us complained to each other about how mom could've told me to wake him up BEFORE she went to get dressed maybe so I would've been on time, but anyway, pretty horrible. Informal practice without Kim, though, so it wasn't too bad. Fellow HSers don't mind quite as much. Still. *dislikes being late*
Quartet til 12, blahblahblah fastforward to when I get back home.
So dad's finished his lecture, a gajillion Asian family friends, parents whatever are all sitting around the dining table and they're just chattering on and on and on.
And it turns out! Those two little kids who've been to my house before, one's 4.5 and the other's 6.5, are here because day care is closed!
The adults stayed talking around our table until 5-6 PM.
The parents of THOSE particular kids stayed with us til 7-8, then went out to dinner with us until like 9:30.
x_____X
Little kids are hella funny though. Kids do the weirdest things. It's hilarious. And playing with them is pretty fun. Keeping w/their attention span gets pretty tiring though. Any one thing can't keep their attention for long. And if you don't constantly check on them and comment on what they're doing, they'll lose interest and start poking around your hw and stuff because they're bored. (And if you give them say a photo album or something, it'll keep them busy for the next 15 minutes, but every 10 seconds they'll come poke you to ask about a picture...)
haha just like, when you're trying to figure out some calculus in the middle of it all (and failing) their attachment can get kind of @@. XD;
ahahaha little kids are sweet though. They loved me. I thought that was hilarious. They loved all the stupid tricks I showed them and all the random gizmos I came up with from around the house to entertain them, and I mean some of my tricks were pretty stupid, because there's a limit to the number of new things you can come up with after a couple of hours but they're delighted by the randomest, stupidest things. XD; Kids are so funny~
haha I still have the little boy's favorite pink teddy bear (hehe he's such a girl). It's been sitting on my shelf because I have no idea what to do with it. XD;
At dinner, though, from the combination of continuous homeworking/little kid entertaining, I was about to go crazy and had an urge to bounce around and do crazy things (like the kids were doing) because I was bored and frustrated and impatient and pent-up irritable, but it annoyed my brother, soso! Guess what I found out!
...meditating (or just like closing your eyes and resting) really helps killing impatience and bad temper!
OK maybe that was like common sense but I just had the revelation today and. MWAHAHA. this will be good for future reference.
And now! that Adam's out of the bathroom! showertime.
2247 edit: Oh, isn't that grand. I just found out my schedule for the next 5 days to come. yuck. Will post after shower for benefit of certain people who I know would like to know.
2308 edit: Okay, so. School + XC general goes to 5-6ish, and from there.
tmr: clashing SHS orchestra from 7-9 and benefit concert orchestra from 7:30-9. will figure that out.
Wed: benefit rehearsal from 7:30-9
Thurs: XC meet (I think clarified; we've a meet @ lynbrook), piano 8:30-9:30
Fri: cello quartet/orchestra rehearsal 4:30-9
Sat: cello class 2-3, dress rehearsal + benefit concert 5-9
*dies* so. I guess apologies in advance if I don't keep "in contact" because I doubt I will.
And. To anybody who might need to contact me, for w/e reason. Please don't call during class/rehearsal time? I mean I turn my cellphone off to vibrate etc but you guys all know what a dunderhead I am and I forget v. often and they really HATE you for it esp the orchestras so... yeah. x.x
mmk that's all I think.
