I had a pretty good weekend. :) I worked pretty hard all week to learn the songs i was going to play. I was late to the practice on friday so i missed the AG. But that's ok. I was doing something important.
I had dinner with my family cause my oldest brother went back to the states. It's sad, but i'm trying not to think about it that much. I'll really miss my nephew. :(
So the practice on friday went well. I learned a lot from sean. He helped me learn His Love cause i was playing some parts wrong. We weren't able to finish the line up though. So we scheduled practice before satjam.
Now on saturday, i went for practice. We took a while to set up, and by the time we started practicing, more then half the satjam people were there! But it was ok. The practice went alright, but i really had a hard time hearing myself. That, and i kept messing uo the chords. it was pretty frusterating. So anyway, satjam started and we had some fun games. Not everything they said about the boys were true. I think everything about the girls was right, cause they never objected. hahaha. So then it was time for P&W. We went up and started to play. I don;t really remember it that much cause i blocked it from my memory. It was pretty bad, as in a kept messing up. THEN, in the middle of one of the songs, i broke a string! oh man! I kind freaked out, but i kept playing. Then Chico broke a string too! He stopped playing, and i continued. Then, I noticed that i was out of tune! So i had to stop playing too! SO it was just drums, bass, and keyboard. I was really bummed out, but i just remembered what sean said during our training. He said that it's our job to lead these people into worship, and we should not be distractions. So i just calmly stopped playing and worshipped God. I was still really bummed out the whole night. Didn't enjoy satjam after that.
But then we practiced the sunday line-up. It went soooooo well and i was able to practice even if i was missing a string. One thing i'm happy about is that we didn't play "holy holy holy" anymore. Hahaha. I never really learned the chords to that song.
Saturday night, i couldn't really sleep. I slept at like past 1am. Woke up at 6 and had to rush to get ready. Call time was 6:30
Sunday, today, was super busy. Like we had to practice in the morning, play the P&W, and then they made us be the time filler for when we were waiting for the adult service to move on. Abi would run and tell us we had to play something to buy time. so we would talk about it while walking to the instruments (that's likw 15 seconds of planning) and then play! hahaha. We only had to tdo that at the 8:30 though. So we played at the 11. I remember being kinda nervous when i went up, but then someone in the crowd a knew smiled at me, and i relaxed a bit. That happened at vesper too. :D So the 11 went ok. then i slept a bit. We had our open house meeting from 3-5, practiced again, then played for vesper. We finally got everything right at vesper. All the sound tech was good, i didn't forget too many chords, and we could all hear ourselves playing! It was like a super filled day. I wasn't able to talk to people i really wanted to talk to, but it's ok. Serving God is more important! That's what i kept telling myself. And it's true. But yeah, i would have liked to talk to them.
So i don;t really know what to feel right now. I don;t know if i should be happy cause i played well, and i always wanted to play for sooooooooooo long now, or feel a sad cause my bro left, i didn't get to talk to some of my friends, and i had a pretty crappy saturday. You have to understand that for me, i only see my friends on the weekends. Other then that, ym is all i get. maaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnn. I'm looking forward to ygroups next week. It'll be simple and fun! But i still can't wait for the next time i'm gonna play.
So now i'm here, blogging. And tomorrow is monday and i have to do school again. grrrrrrrrrr. i don;t wanna! hahahaha. But i really thank God for the oppertunity i got to serve Him today. so i guess it was an ok weekend after all.
