I was feeling a lot of different emotions before practice even started. I was tired from not getting enough sleep to having to go through this at least 1 more year.

Sydney and I will now have to create a Facebook page for the flutes. There would be an assignment due at a certain time and everyone would submit a video of them doing that. In my past years, we didn’t do that so now this is a new
