I was skimming the Shueisha site today, and I noticed they've started publishing widebans of Gokinjo! They're full of color pages and they have large pages. They look beautiful, and they are 1260 yen.

So Mr. C, band director, has decided to be stupid. I am in the lowest level band due to my freshman status. There are three levels. Fellow mellophone in Marching Band is in second level band. She tells me that Mr. C was complaining about how second level band has perfect instrumentation except for the fact that it needs another French horn. Mr. C ( Read more... )

Ugh. I hate Earth Science. It's so boring. Because I'm taking Bio this year, the school forces me to learn Earth Science in my free time. So much boringness. I also ordered the solos I need for French horn, because I'm trying out for two different levels of select band, three if I'm lucky. Turns out there is a painfully easy way to massive extra ( Read more... )

I got to go home early today because I had study hall last period, and that makes me happy. I hung around the house for 45 minutes then meandered back to school for marching band sectionals. It was very nice. I had to run the mile today, and it took me 13 minutes and 12 seconds. That's one of the worst scores I've had in awhile (I can normally do ( Read more... )

I am happy. Very very happy. I just practiced the French horn for 35 minutes, and I feel incredibly happy, because I know I could go on longer.

Friday = good. Marching band = kinda meh. I didn't do so hot. The other mellophone was not present, so I had nobody to guide to when I was hitting my sets. In the stands, the two trumpet section leaders spent a good deal of time singing showtunes and Disney music, which was rather amusing. A family friend happened to be at the game, so he said hi.

Today, I had my first Bio and World Studies class. The Bio teacher seems really serious, yet relatively amusing at the same time. It's a class made of five freshman and a ton of sophmores, so it was a bit intimidating. Luckily, one of my best friends in it too. World Studies will probably be lots of fun since half the room is a group of friends and ( Read more... )

My first day of high school went well. First period I had German. My German teacher was the only teacher to mention my older brother, which is a good thing. Second period was Concert Band, where Mr. C spent half the period talking about how the band room is in Marching Band Mode and how he is planning to keep the entire band program updated on our ( Read more... )

School starts tommorow. I've been finishing my summer homework ALL DAY. It was hellish. But I got contacts. That I won't wear often. Except when I need to. I'm excited about starting high school, but I'd kinda like a little more summer. Not as much time for anime, manga, and video games anymore.

I went to my dear friend Gabby's sister's birthday party. She turned four. It was really funny watching all the little kids run around. I then got to housesit Gwenny with my little brother. She is so adorable.
