candylandSo I'm waiting until Sunday to go home. Dad says it's going to bite me in the ass, but I am tired and I really just want a night where I don't have to do anything or worry about anything. And the weather forecasts all show that Sunday should be fairly clear, weather-wise. Plus, the fog here is so thick you can barely see anything.
We had a late start today. Honestly, the only reason we had school PERIOD was because of the high school semester tests. The fog is THAT BAD, that they almost canceled school for it. And Dad wonders why I don't want to go anywhere. Bad enough driving in it to and from school. Could barely see anything. And it's all over the area.
This is nice because I will have all of tomorrow to clean this place up and make sure I have everything together. Less of a rush job that way, and less chance that I'll forget something. And then I'll be on the road bright and early Sunday morning.
The band/choir concert was last night. We did our first three numbers just wonderfully, and then it was time for one of my graduating seniors (she's graduating early) to do her solo. She was really really nervous about it--kept saying she felt like she was going to pass out. But she'd said the same things the last time she did a solo, and wound up doing the solo wonderfully.
So I was going to announce her and explain to the audience why we were taping a hairbrush to the microphone for her (she always practiced like that, saying it made her feel more confident), and when I turned around to gesture to her, she was wobbling back and forth. I asked if she needed to sit down.
She said "Yeah..." and fell over sideways, out cold.
I'm very proud of my students. The ones around her jumped and caught her and lowered her to the risers so she didn't get hurt. The rest leaned in to see what was going on, and when I told them to back away, then all did immediately and without question. They handled it very well.
After twenty minutes, she still wasn't responding. She was breathing and everything, but not waking up. We wound up having to call an ambulance. After they carried her out, I asked the rest of the choir if they wanted to do their last song, "Pat-a-Pan." They said yes. So we sang it, and exited the risers.
So that was my exciting night last night. I understand that she's fine now--she woke up in the hospital, and was a-okay. So that's good :D I just feel so sad for her. She worked so hard on that solo, and didn't get to perform it.
Right now I'm just feeling sort of...blah. I think I'm going to have something to eat and then get the cleaning done. Then tomorrow I can do all the packings and hopefully get everything in the car. Feel free to bother me here *sparkles at everyone* I'm sort of in the mood for human interaction, but there is no one around *woes*
