[::..Some Not-So-Good News... ..::]
I've always wondered if people get that i am being sarcastic with the "Title" of this whole blog. You know, "My Amazingly Interesting Life" is not supposed to be accurate.
Got my VCA letter after Speech Night. My little sister let it slip that the letter was awaiting me at home, little did I know that my dad had brought it with him and left it in the car. Probably better that way. Silly me went and cried BEFORE I even got to the car. I guess I knew I wouldn't get in. Preferably, it is better I cry before coz I was perfectly fine when I opened up the letter. Yes, I didn't get in. Eh. I'm ok about it. It's not the end of the world. The letter is now somewhere on the floor. But secretly I'd prefer to get into Urban Planning first, as you need an ENTER for that and to be a non-yr 12 student doing that. I dunno, I don't want to be a non-yr 12 student. I'll hopefully *fingers crossed* do that for 4 years and get to go to the Netherlands or Scotland and Berkeley in California for exchange. That would be so cool. And then try again for the VCA after that. My only eh part is that it will be harder to keep a hold on the singing. I know people will say, "only if you let it." But realistically it is harder, I would just have liked to be constantly surrounded by very talented people.
Speech Night, on the other hand, when by too fast. After all that work we all put in, it went by too quickly. Seeing that we spend a whole year doing it, with some breaks of course. you know those little things called "exams" yeah those things. :P But with all the hassle we four got from the teachers, I was soooooo ready to let it all go and just stuff the whole bloody thing. But I had fun and I got to wear the most expensive headsets around. Apparently they cost $130 more than the ones we used last year EACH! They are skin coloured even! Very cool! They sit really close to your cheek so you can barely see them and they just get an amazing sound. But sadly that sound quality only happened when we were doing the soundchecks. When the full orchestra and the school behind us, the words get lost. Apparently, when I had to turn to face the school a couple of times the sound got lost.
bored now,

New blog in less than 2 days!! See I can write them in short space of time. It is doable. So people can stop sounding so surprised when I have. *cough* Janine *cough* Also I am still under the impression that this is boring. I just reread over some of my past blogs and really, they are boring. Plus I have no grammar whatsoever.
I am so in the mood to go Bennetts Lane again. But at the present moment there have been no takers. Anyone? LOL Funnily enough I am surprised that i was able to direct people into my heavenly net home to read my account on the aud. Cool. Nice to know that something I did, worked for a change. :D
Ooh and the purpose of this blog is to announce that I, miss Tegan Ka-Tin Jones has FINALLY, after waiting since I was 14 and 9 months to get a job, gotten a JOB!!!! Whoo hoo!! I am soo happy. I get to earn money. Plus I really didn't want to go through 4 days of training without getting the job. So I start tomorrow. Hee I can see it now, all the blogs about the shitty stingy people who won't donate money. The bastards in ACT, I got 3 pages of NO NO NO NO NO! Sorry not interested, you would think that people would be more inventive with their replies. But I guess that would be asking for too much. Hee more of that soon!
What else? Ooh Speech Night rehearsal today. ARGH! I am so screwed for that. Why i had to have the most dialogue, I HATE dialogue coz I always for get it. Always and because we have to say it in 4 bars or whatever, doesn't relieve the stress any. I have the dumbest character!
Examples:
No.1 -
Me: Is it just me, or was there something really off about history today?
Shal: It was french.
No. 2 -
Me: Is it period 2 yet?
Nai: Eh, it's already period 4.
Me: What? What happened to the 2 periods inbetween?
Nai: You slept through them all!
See, this girl is an idiot and unforunately she has to have the same name as me. o.O
ok bored now,
Tegan

Argh, here i am sitting at one of the school computers, writing in my deglected Blog coz I am so frickin' BORED!!! I came into school to perform in assembly and to get a mob charger of a friend. The later was the main reason of coming, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. The nice thing is, is that I am writing this blog with the new layout, which my "lovely" computer doesn't have. :(
I have just had one of the busiest weeks ever. Last week that is. Rehearsals for Speech Night, which is coming up next Monday. Rehearsals for Carol Service, which was on last Wednesday. It was good, nice to know that it was my last one. Scotch boys were entertaining to say the least. Funnily enough, as the years progress with Scotch having an involvement in our Carol Service. I overheard some guy saying how unreasonable it was that they called it a PLC and Scotch Carol Service when they (the scotchies) hardly did anything! - Whatever! And get over it! They were invited. *shakes head* they are all the same.
Also had my VCA audition. Ok this is going to be the last time, I am going to talk about it. So hello to those who I have directed to read it here coz I can't be bothered to explain, or rather too tired to. My audition was at 4pm. I had a pretty good rehearsal with Erica and Ivan, two teachers at the music school. VERY talented people. It was fun in itself that I was able to just perform with them. I am happy and proud to say that the singing part went well. For some strange reason I wasn't nervous at all, and I just enjoyed the fact that I was singing, even though it was infront of Alex Pertout. No matter what Erynn says, he is scary. Anyway, the singing part went well, and even though the theory or lackthereof I am able to say at least I sang well. But oh boy, when Alex Pertout sat down at the piano to ask me what some frickin' jazz chords were and the like, I didn't know any of them. And coz I was flustered I mistook a 6th for a 2nd. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't ask me WHY that happened, I have NO idea. I feel so stupid that I made such a silly mistake. And the aud didn't get any better by the fact that the only real question he asked me was "Have you applied elsewhere?" I didn't answer straight away, so he started rabbiting on about other tafe courses etc, and that about 60 people have aud for singing and they are only looking to fill 4/5 places, so the comp is really high. I'm thinking, "Yes I know this. I have researched and spoken to heaps of people and you aren't telling me anything new." and Also "Has he already made up his mind?" Then he asked me do you have any questions for us? I said no and then I left. that took 15 out of the 20 mins assigned to me. Oh well, we shall see what happens. and that is the last time I am going to go over that in my head coz I swear it will take its toll out on me.
Also on the side, I have been performing at Crown in the Christmas Choir. I have just down the last 3 nights and will do one more night, tonight and than a break until Sun. It's been fun but I swear that Frickin' stupid LIGHT SHOW!!! I have now seen that over 30 times, I swear I will scream if I see it again. lol but I will, tonight, TWICE!!!! But singing is fun, even though the stupid light show is stupid and scary and we have to wear really heavy, hot costumes. Good thing is, we get money! $$$$$!!!
Also went to a training session for a call centre that works for the Make-A-Wish foundation for four days. Apparently, I am supposed to get a call today or yesterday telling me if I get the job or not. I really want this job, coz i know that I can do it. But i haven't heard anything from them yet, so I am leaning towards. No you dont' get the job. *sigh* Looks like I am going to have to go looking elsewhere. crap. I really need money. There is going to be a time, coming up REAL soon that I am going really not be alive without any money.
bored now,
