She’s gone to Chicago. Left this morning in a better mood than normal (but only because she wanted to borrow my headphones.)
Nugget loves band. She plays trumpet, and does so very well, if I do say so myself! This opportunity came up a while ago though school, and – thanks to a partial scholarship – she was able to go.
They will be eating lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, then visiting the Lyric Opera to see a performance of The Magic Flute. She was so excited, and I’m pretty sure the fact that it’s a school bus trip to Chicago trumps the fact that she’s going to the opera!
Thanks, Bloomington Jr High School, for the opportunity. I’m grateful that she is able to take in some culture!
