I've been finding myself quite busy lately, and I don't know if I like it or not. I miss having some free time on my hands to sit around and do nothing. Haha. I guess it's time to inform everyone about my (not so interesting) life.

Well, I started band this week. It's really strange, when you realize most of the people you looked up to and befriended have graduated and moved on to start their lives in the real world while you're still getting ready for marching season.

The crazy week is next week though, for sure. We have 9-5 practice every single day to learn our drill for halftime (ugh, it's sooo exhausting!), then Saturday, you know, the day when we're supposed to be able to catch up on our sleep and stay in bed until noon? We have to be at the high school at 5:30 AM to march in a huge parade >_< Then the next day? Another huge parade! There's no breaks. Really, there's not.

But quite honestly, I love marching band and my fellow band geeks, and I wouldn't give it (or them!) up for anything

I'm a trombone player, and it's really sad what's happened to our trombone section over the past two years. We went from 7 to 3 =/ We need some more people on trombone! It's a fun instrument to play! Like what other instrument can sound like a race car or a crashing airplane? I'll have to thank Mr. David Baker for teaching me those tricks Sadly, he's graduated now =/

We'll need to recruit some new T-Bone players, because one graduates this year, then Cassy and I only have our Junior and Senior year left

Man, I'm growing up fast! It's a little overwhelming, I guess. Have to start looking at colleges soon. I'm currently looking at either New York University or American Music and Drama Academy [AMDA]

I also realized that I can't put off reading for AP US History anymore, which upsets me =/ I've kept saying, "I have an entire month to read this boring book, I'll wait until tomorrow". Well, I'm quickly running out of tomorrows. I have a 4 page essay due this next Monday, and I'm on page 34. Out of over 440 pages. Guess I'll be speed reading during my very limited free time. AND I still have Huckleberry Finn to read for English, and I haven't even started that one.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I have dance after the 9-5 rehersals. Yay.

That's what I get for packing up my schedule, I guess.
