Quick updates

1) H got an "academic letter" for having good grades. It is supposed to be a big honor but we all think it's a bit cringe since letters are for sports.

2) H's teacher said he scored in the top 90% of the national German exam. We think she means top 10%.

3) Geo played in his Stringathon and reached level 10 again. He is going to be trying out for high school orchestra soon and complains constantly about having to practice his scales and audition piece.

4) G and D have been doing some classes at Swallow Hill and have a performance tomorrow. G is doing drums and D is doing bass. D and M are in a chamber music group, too. G and M are going to play a cello/violin duet at her spring recital.

5) H started track and is going to be running middle distance.

Are you tired reading all of this? You should be, because this is all so exhausting and we can't wait for spring break.
