I feel like such an idiot...

No. In the past night I, did not talk to (A) Cory. Or (B) his friend [[whose name is officially Kevin]]. Which, (C) frankly is really not the biggest loss in the situation. I just had to throw in that C. The biggest loss in the situation is (A): I did not talk to Cory. On such a great opportunity. Come on; first practice, totally new... Why am I so shy? And it wasn't just Cory; if it weren't for some friendly people I'd be friendless because I'm too shy to actually reach out to other people... Well, guys anyways. Becuause Kylie, Rachel and Angelina aren't guys. And they aren't exactly unfriendly girls, either. Oh yeah. And Cory isn't a freshman, either. He's a sophomore. And he plays lacrosse [[Help me? Hurt me? Neither? Who knows.]]. And my parents are totally on my back about him. About the third thing Mom said after practice was, and I quote, "Did you talk to that Cory boy?"

...

No, Mom. I did not find a valentine in Cory within the last two hours. Maybe she'd rather I ended up with Kevin. Hey, it'd be a heck of a lot easier... He's a freshman. But that would probably only aid Mom, becuase even a year before I joined, she hoped I would join a symphony and find a "cute violinist boy". I guess the fact that he plays first violin really just aids everything in this whole "sophomore bassist [[and the only one at that]] vs. freshman violinist". Oh, and they're best friends, too. That totally either hurts me. Or helps me. But almost definately hurts me.

Oh and I don't want to take music theory again. "Try it out and see if you'll like it," said Dad. Sure, that was my idea, too, till I figured out they test you on it, too. So much for just spacing out for an hour, huh? Now not only do I have to stay late, but be disoriented from, I dunno, some kind of music overdose? Oh yeah [[am I saying this too much?]], and Cory's in that class, too [["Cory stays for music theory," says Catherine... By the way, we're cool now. If I mean anything to her, she'll stop and she really seems to be making an effort =^)]]. Yeah, so isn't Cory staying afterwards another reason for me NOT to stay for music theory? I just hope it's not too late to change my mind...

Stay tuned.
