Thoughts of Sunday

Even though it's Tuesday, I can't help but remember and think about Sunday. 

So I'm sitting in sunday school (which I unfortunately have =_= but thankfully it's my last year) and this lady from the church choir comes in. She has to teach each grade a particular part of this song that we're singing for...hmm I can't remember if it was Easter or something else....whatever well she was teaching us. And it was the way she spoke to us and taught us that bothered me. She has a great voice but she expects us to be perfect and constantly yelled at us for not singing loud or good enough. Her voice was somewhat condescending and she didn't look at  us in the eyes when she spoke. She mentioned that if we wanted to be in the choir one day we'd have to practice our singing and not sound like cats meowing. YEAH WELL MEOW MEOW >:O

My youth group is having an issue with the choir group actually. It's quite a funny story, see I go to a Vietnamese Church so all the masses are in Vietnamese. That was fine BEFORE because there weren't many kids and teenagers going there who didn't know Vietnamese. Now there are a lot so it'd be nice to have at least English in there or have a mass to ourselves. It took a while to convince the church but our last mass, at 11:30am, is half vietnamese and half english and if they didn't speak in english they would have the english translations up on the overhead board thing. Now we want some english songs and the youth group band is prepared to join the choir. We did and that didn't work out because the choir group wanted to sing only vietnamese songs (they're adults who don't speak english much). They won't listen to our complaints or try to understand why we're having trouble with the Vietnamese. What's the point of singing a song to God if you don't know what the heck you're singing. We ask for a few simple songs. So the youth group quit choir. Now we're trying to make it so that the youth group band can be the new choir, just for the mixed language mass. But the choir group has a problem with that because they like singing and like sitting where they sit. -_-; So they were full on against it and because they're the adults they have a bit more say in it than we do. Only one adult actually was supportive of our band. The adults say that we don't have enough experience with it, well the only way to get experience is to do it many many times. But how can we get experience if we don't get a chance? So we finally get one chance. We did well and..what do you know....they're all good job good job and then during the middle of the week I receive an email from my youth group leader who then tells me that the yg band won't be doing choir anymore because the original choir has a problem with us. 

Now back to the sunday school music teacher lady, I laugh at her comment. If we wanted to be part of the choir in the future, as if. She, along with the other adults, would probably still have a problem then! T___T *fuming with anger*  

She was much meaner than she needed to be. 

That's all the venting for now...:P 

Today wasn't such a bad day hahaha XD
