I should totally have seen this coming. But I didn't. I was under the impression that they would all lay off and let me be once the JAE applications closed. What's going on? Well, after band practice today, they called a bunch of us out to meet the teachers. And why? Because we were intending to leave the band, in one way or another. One other guy was looking at the Photographic society. Another wanted to go to a different school.
So I left the band room to meet them. After listening to the teacher persuading the photographically interested(lol new term!), I wasn't feeling too happy. For one, I was supposed to be cleaning up my instrument. Also, I wasn't interested in being nagged at. But what could I do? I could probably have faked a seizure to get out of the "why you should stay here" lecture, but I didn't have a lot of experience in that. Instead, I stood there and listened to the sermon, occasionally saying "Um. Okay." in a dull and bored tone. Which basically ended up with me 'agreeing' to think about appealing back into AJ. Fingers crossed, of course.
But seriously, it's annoying. Very, very annoying. They're doing this because they don't want to lose a potential band member. Forgive me, but I know that they know that I'm good. I'm a precious commodity. Thus, they are now being very persistent at trying to sway my confidence. Again, I repeat, it's very, very annoying.
Why are they so worried, anyway? It's not like I'm the only baritonist out there. I'm sure more will join after the second intake. So yeah, leave me alone. They should consider themselves fortunate that I didn't ditch the whole thing right after my application to NYP.
All that this is doing is really just messing with my head. So I'm not going to listen to any more of it. Gah. I've got another 3 weeks to get through.
Crap. And I've been signed out of my Photobucket account for no reason. And I don't remember my password.
