Building character

Yesterday was interesting. After work I had to rush home, pick up three girls and drive them down to Old Fairfax City. The four girls were playing background music for a dinner honoring two scholarship recipients. It was quite nice, but long. The girls started playing before 6 and got finished around 8:15. That is a long gig. They played several things three or four times. They also sight-read some music. All in all, I thought they sounded pretty good.

Ky also had homework. Her school has block scheduling, which means she has periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 on "Red" days and 2, 3, 4, and 6 on "Black Days." On Friday, a Black Day, she had to go to District Orchestra. It is an honor to be chosen for District Orchestra, but once you are in, you are committed to two long days of rehearsing. She was there from 9-4 Friday and 9-6 Saturday, but still had homework to do. We went out to eat Saturday night and got back home around 9 p.m. The homework began and didn't stop until 2:30 a.m. this morning. Ugh. This online Physics class is just eating up much more time than it should. I admire Ky for persevering. She is also staying as active in church as she can. She's building character. I admire her!
