Just three more times...
G'morning! [music on- 2 minutes to midnight, iron maiden] Well, not morning, but you know what I mean... It feels like it, anyway.

Summer feels over. Us marching band people start up again Monday morning- ack. It goes by so fast! I mean, I'll be working on my third year of this... Wow. [paul simon- kodachrome] Mom has been trying to get me to practice, as if I won't know the music well enough after two weeks of playing it non-stop.

So Monday and Tuesday are leadership camp, Wednesday and Thursday are rookie camp (do all the leadership people have to be there the whole time?), and Friday is 'fundamentals day'- sheesh, why do we bother? It's not like we aren't already having a lengthened band camp.

Two years ago we didn't even have rookie camp! It was fun, last year I got to go and watch all the people in my class starting out. I'm really glad they were there this year, lol. *nostalgic moment* I can't believe they turned on me last year when we had our annual rookie-soaking :-D I think I got three gallon-sized water bottles poured on me, seeing as all the water balloons and guns were gone by the time the rookies decided to fight back...

I must sound like a real dork to all the non-band kids out there in the audience. It's impossible to understand unless you've been there- oh well. [music- cast recording of dancing queen from mamma mia :-P] I won't try.

lol. I haven't worked out at all this summer. I'm gonna keel over and die at band camp. At least Virginia won't be so hot as the armpit of the south was. By the way, does everybody want to sign up to do tubing/kayaking during our R&R time? Comment with your thoughts on the subject :-P [rolling stones- she's so cold]

Ergh. I made all these new friends after marching season which I doubt I'll see much during that time... Lack of free weekends is bad for a person's soul. At least the greatest people in the world are right there with me on those very very commited saturday nights :-D

So I'm about to go with my parents to look at this really nice neighborhood over by quail hollow middle. [sum 41- still waiting] They have the most gorgeous houses! lol, I am a dork. My dad used to be a builder, so we always have to go check out new developments. It's a hobby, lol.
