I think I've found my calling. Last Thursday at school we had Career Day and a forensic scientist came in to talk to us. It was so cool. He had his van parked and had crime scene tape around it and to the pole several feet away. He took us outside and showed us the equipment (which in Missouri it was still pretty chilly). He said we could cross the crime scene tape! I felt so privlaged! He showed us evidence bags and the little HAZMAT suits they wear. It was the coolest thing. My best friend said that she could tell this is what I want to do because I had a huge grin on my face the whole time. He was telling us all kinds of stories and while everyone else was grossed out I on the other hand thought it was cool.

Now to totally change subjects... It actually turns out that I liked Open Season 2. it was actually quite funny. The characters' voices were just close enough that they were still believable. I happen to like it. I should've given it a fair chance from the start.

Now to totally change subjects again... Saturday is the solo and ensembles contest at Jefferson College. I'm taking an oboe solo. I'm so nervous. My band director says that I've gotten better but that didn't help much. I'll let ya know how it goes.

Now that I've gone all ADD on you, I'm going to go practice said solo. Wish me luck!

Open Season is one of my favorite movies of all time. I recently found out that they are making second one. I thought that was super cool until I found out that they are changing the voices of the characters. I want my original cast of Martin Lawrence-Boog, Ashton Kutcher-Elliot, Gary Sinise-Shaw, and Debra Messing-Beth. The only characters that have the same voices are McSquizzy and the female deer. I came to also find out that Shaw isn't even going to be in it. Neither is Beth. Shaw was my favorite character. It saddens me that they would do something like this. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to go see it or not but just know that if I do, in my heart it just won't be the same. I'm going to go watch the REAL Open Season now. It can never be replaced.
