This week is so hard. We are all ready to bounce off the walls. All my friends and I have been talking about is the choir trip. I can't wait. I am going to be in New York. I have dreamed about being in New York for my entire life and now it's going to happen.

We leave school Friday morning and we get to New York by lunch time. We're going to go to the Natural History Museum. Friday night we'll be hanging out at the hotel. We have dinner there and then a meeting and rehearsal.

On Saturday we sing for the judges. We got lucky because they scheduled us for early morning so we get to go take a city tour in the afternoon. Then we have a banquet dinner dance that night in which we find out how we placed in the competition.

Sunday morning we sing in the park and then can either go on mini group tours with the chaperones or hang out in the park. Lauren said she told Josh he has to spend Sunday with us. I hope he does.

On Monday we go to the Statue of Liberty and then it's back to Pennsylvania.

The trip is all I've been able to think of all day. I wasn't that excited about it before. I was afraid being there would make me sad because it's where Josh is, but now I can't wait. I have dreamed about New York for my entire life. Now I am finally going!

But back to the present...this afternoon we took Aunt Lu to the orthopedic specialist and he said she'd be starting physical therapy soon. He said that the break is clean and should heal okay, but she will need the therapy to help her get back on her feet.

Tonight is dinner with Lindsay, Rob and whoever else she invited. He's a nice guy, but like I said before, there is no chemistry. I just don't know if I want to settle for that.
