Hoe-cake murder

Heyyyy I'm back. I guess.

So, I'll cut to the chase.

We have (as in concert band) our football game in which we march tomorrow! As in, my first real marching halftime thing. We've had about 3 weeks to practice, and had 2 awesome practices after school with symphony band. Concert band actually has a bit of freshman, and personally I think we're actually doing not too bad. I mean, we're not good persay but... we don't...suck persay.

100% chance of rain tomorrow - supposed to be 1 inch. A great way to start my high school marching career. But no really, we get to wear these awesome rain coats. We learned the dance in the middle of Thriller (Michael Jackson halftime show- so original, huh?) just two days ago, but I think we got it down. I sort of keep blanking out on things though. It'll be awesome though.

There are some spacing/aligning issues with the trumpets and french horns, but we just gotta take small steps. Stadium Drive (in which we high/glide step to the stadium) is actually quite demanding, but I'm really liking all the marching. Like seriously. I think c'est mon truc.

Then I've been trying to do a bunch of art stuff, like going to the local teen...place. And I'm planning on submitting photos to that thing, and also my school art- magazine thing. And there is much more. Busy busy busy.

So....yeah. This isn't that interesting is it.

Oh we had the MEAPs today. Considering I hadn't learned ANY U.S. history/other geography, etc last year, I actually think I did somewhat okay...I had to sort of guess on some of the questions though. I need to learn that stuff though. Soo much to do. Pressure. But not really. Life is good.

HEY! HO! HEY! HO!

High school is... you know, I think I can live with it. I've survived a whole interim, and already I can sort of see where it's going. And yet I keep saying "it wasn't as I expected it would be!" But maybe I can deal with it because of the soul reason that I sort of have to, that it's just my life, it's other peoples' lives, etc. And back to the college thing, I guess as a freshmen you should just do what you do and....wait. My dad's cousin's son, who is in college now, told me to "just remember that it ends" -high school being "it". There are just so many stereotypes and materialism and having/lacking "substance" and knowing things about people and actually knowing them. And experiencing that amoeba of hormones at Homecoming...

High school dances are overrated.

Well I have a bunch of homework. It's not that I've necessarily procrastinated (honest!), but my geometry homework (oh yes that's right, I switched to geometry. And am now left with the responsibility of doing like 5 hours of algebra on my own a week) is to be accessed online, but I...that is complicated. And then I need to write this short story. We have a week, well we did on Wednesday, and well you see the thing is I just often can't write effectively on weekdays. But then again, weekends are just asking you to procrastinate. But hey, I'll get it done.

Oh yeah, and then you know that photo exhibit I was gonna do? Well I should work on it more. But unfortunately, I thought I put all of my pictures on these discs, but upon putting one of them back in and viewing the pictures, only about...half the folders of pictures were there. And these were important ones. These were...that was a lot. I am very annoyed. I removed nearly all of my pictures from facebook, but technically anything you put on facebook stays there forever. So that gave me a good idea; perhaps I could coax those precious pixels from their creepy, over-manufactured hands.

I really really need to practice trumpet. I am really liking marching though. Our show is only like 2 weeks away, and we've only learned two formations. We've been having to do a bunch of fundraising lately, and just had the car wash yesterday. It was rather fun, actually. But I'm getting sort of tired of asking people for money. We are going on tour this year though, and need moneyyyy.

And I need a H-ween costume. Dang I am so busy. But I'm liking the difference it makes.
