the new job
well hey i'd figured that i'd put this in here. just got a call from charlie who runs the coffee and peanut shop down on the corner and he said i can start on a sunday on may 2nd. so that's good that i have a job now. $6 an hour. i'd be working 11 to 5 and romelle will be teaching me how to make all those sample packet things. and the ironic thing was, i got the phone call while i was drinking a freshly brewed cup. good to the last drop....

rainy days
it's still been raining here. geez. i think it's supposed to clear up and warm up by the weekend. i would certainly hope so. i finished that job application and sent it in and i'll most likely be starting may 1st. so that will be neat. there was a fantastic double rainbow yesterday evening after it finished raining. that was probably the clearest definition of colors i have ever seen in a rainbow. maybe it's a sign of good fortune. that would be nice. we played wiffle ball today in gym and that was alright. i'm not too good at it but i did ok today. i also finished this new drawing because i'm trying not to use any lines in my drawings. it's hard. but it's an interesting change of style. i think that change is good once and a while. and change is life. so excercising change is excercising life.

it's monday after lunch....
well i just finished 2 hours homework, taking out the garbage, cleaning the turtle filter and filling out a job application. whew! i needed a break so i figured i'd get on here and write all this down. for that job, i'll be starting on may 1st most likely. that's a week after the band trip so this gives me some time to think all this over. the band trip is in about 2 weeks i believe. we had trip band practice this morning and we sounded alright. i was like the only 2nd part player there so there were some parts where none of the other parts play so it was kind of like a solo lol. so that was interesting. and then later on in the day we had regular 9th grade band practice. we also had jre practice after school so i played a lot today. i think i have lessons tomorrow. wow what a busy band life it is. it's been raining like the dickens here and i wish the weather would get better soon. it's been rainy and cold and windy. geez i wish spring would just get going but it seems like it's having generator problems. lol. oh and we played this game called attack in gym. it's kind of like dodgeball. if we play it again tomorrow because of the weather, the other class will fear my wrath! lol. overall a good but exhausting day....

easter sunday
well it's nearly 8:00 pm here and we finished our easter dinner. those cornish hens were pretty good. also, finished cat sitting so i'll get some more money soon. i've earned around $140 and that money is solely for the band trip. that's coming up really soon. i can't wait. lol. i think one of these days i'm gonna take my guitar to school again and jam during 7th period study hall down in the band room. that would be fun....

'twas the night before easter, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even those dang gophers
well i'd figure i'd change the title of the blog. i like the little symobls. so this is the sequel. a sequel of what you may ask? well i don't know. lol. tell me what you think. i just got an application for that job down at the coffee shop and charlie gave me this book to read about coffee and tea. it's pretty neat stuff so far. me being a coffee person and all. and he said that coffee from asian countries is full bodied. yeah that's right. full bodied to the last drop.

20 days till fun
well it's only 20 days until the big trip. i can't wait! it's gonna be so much fun. we all got a letter in the mail about the entire schedule thing and it all looks pretty fun. the fact that it's a 2 nighter is a great thing. two nights to partay! lol. i'm sure we'll have to be careful not to get caught lol.

spring cleaning
well it was a nice weekend weather-wise. a high of 72 on friday made it seem really warm during the walk home from school. we took advantage of the warm weather (not as warm as friday though) and did some yard work. today was also a yard work day. we had to pick up a lot of sticks and saw a few large tree branches. i think i'll use the branches for firewood when i have a huge bonfire/volleyball party during the summer sometime. i'm gonna invite like a million people over. it'll be a blast! oh and saturn, jupiter, mars, mercury and venus (i think it was venus) were all in a big arc across the sky last night. a neat event to look at. the next time they'll all be in a line across the sky will be in 30 years...
