yesterday we [seniors] had our last high school football game ever as we lost to Pensacola 14-7 in a pretty tight game. (they scored their second touchdown in the fourth quarter) i think all of the football players played their hearts out as well as the band, so i am personally proud of everyone, both winners and losers, for giving a good showing.

well i finally like a girl after 17 years and she doesn't like me back... humiliation ensues as i send 15 boo bags each with a line of a sonnet i wrote for her on them. (i had to write a sonnet for lit so i thought i would be nice and write one for her) she was embarrassed and just wants to be friends. i hate my life, etc etc ( Read more... )

As soon as I have a night where I am done with my work and it isn't past midnight I will probably post something more elaborate, but right now it's pretty much "I hate my life". Today we beat Chiles 51-0. Oh yea, some band stuff happened ( Read more... )

Most of today was pretty average. Because of the GIT preview trip I missed school today because I was so exhausted. I woke up, brushed up, and worked on calculus for a couple of hours. Everything was pretty good - I learned alot of great stuff, relaxed about an hour and so forth. When the concert came up I wasn't enthusiastic but I wasn't ( Read more... )

Today was quite an interesting day. It all started... today at 2 am. I decided it would be better not to sleep but to do calculus instead and persevere the night away. Got ready at 1 am with a shower etc., and at 2 am me and my dad left for Atlanta to preview Georgia Tech. We were kind of early so we ate at Huddle House... it was alright, and the ( Read more... )

It all started with an in-class discussion about Their Eyes Were Watching God and if Janie really felt complete and fufilled in the end of the novel. Nathaniel said that he didn't feel that way because Tea Cake died and she lost her love etc etc and then I interjected, saying that sometimes you can feel complete without feeling the "going off into ( Read more... )

I was going to talk about the Leon game yesterday... errr the day before yesterday, but I was doing calc after the game into 1:30 am. So Friday I did poorly on the calc test despite studying. Mrs. Davis wouldn't push back the test date even though the band could not get home till 11'ish and didn't have time to do any calc before the game. I had ( Read more... )

Marching rehearsal again, but after pulling a couple of strings Certamen took precedence today and Martin and I got to study Latin and miss almost an hour of rehearsal. (we organized it pre-Jeanne) I managed to talk to Mr. Lamen and again so far 100% of the people I have talked to agree that FEARLESS will be a good club. He made Pie Club last year ( Read more... )

One of the things I will never forget is how much my mom nags on me about being in band.

"It takes up too much of your time!"
"It makes your life too busy to focus on school!"

And after hearing this for 4 years now, I began to think why am I still in band?

Then I smiled, and realized what a stupid question that is. Although many of my friends also ( Read more... )

The biggest weakness I think I have would be the inability to start on my homework ( Read more... )
