I know there is already a Happy New Year thread but I feel like I need to drop a load on your guys. This year, quite possibly, has been the worst one I've experienced thus far, but that is most likely to be expected in an adolescent male. Going in order, I started the year with that relationship some may remember, with the girl I went to prom with. Well, that fell to pieces in April and all details aside, it sucked. I made several musical accomplishments, especially for a sophmore. I made state, and made nationals, which I will attend in this coming February. Now my summer was better, I got a job lifeguarding, met some cool people, went to a classical bass masterclass/camp in Texas, and just did alot of sitting on my ass. I also got my dream bass rig. I also got some gigs. The only bad part was my boss was a complete bitch, but that happens. The school was off to a rough start, as Junior year is by far the hardest year in the IB (international baccalaureate) program. I joined the swim team with a good start, but now I'm recovering from multiple injuries.
Well, the year goes on and to be honest, I've had a pretty miserably last couple of months. In the past year, my grandfather became very ill, and was diagnosed with Alzheimer. In the past November, I was sick on my bother, but luckily he held out to live for my 17th birthday. He couldn't hold out much longer, and died the friday before thanksgiving. The next day, I was coming out of youth symphony rehearsal, and I tripped and fell, resulting in my bass getting destroyed. 3 years of fond memories, knicks, dings, warn of varnish, blood, sweat, and tears gone in a matter of 3 seconds. In the midst of it all, I was devastated. That was the most depressed I've ever been in my life. I was able to get it replaced, but its not repairable by a shop (too expensive). To say the least, I'm ready for a clean slate, a fresh start, and hopefully a much more uplifting year, especially once February comes around and I go to California for a week to play in Nationals. Maybe a new wick too! :lol: Happy New Year everyone, hopefully 2010 is a 10.
