damn
Most of this was written Wednesday...
well, i'm in a crappy mood
*hears plastic cup fall over in other room*
and my cat needs water
*leaves, gets water for cat, returns*
so yeah, i feel like i don't have much to look forward to anymore
stuff that i used to or should enjoy has become a chore
everyday, i get up, go to school, spend a brief time with friends, listen to the pointless (but often amusing) debates in first hour, try to take notes on computers, go to english, continue work there, go break my brain in math, go break my brain further with the cs3 program, break my brain yet again in physics, try to get lunch but be bored a lot, find something to do during study hall (often either more math or physics), and hope i can go to the tech room in seventh hour
really, the tech room during seventh hour, plus the few times i just hang out during the day, are really what i look forward to
but even then, i worry that i might have to stay in shashi's room seventh hour and grade her crappy tests (fortunately that's only happened twice)
and i can get bored during lunch or before school pretty easily
also, youth is really getting to be a major chore
i think i said this already, but it's hard to be the president
i always have to keep in mind what we need to be doing to get done what we want or need to get done (if that makes any sense)
and the praise band is getting to be a chore too
we're trying to get ready for our biggest performance yet
we'll be the band for the Jr. High Retreat weekend in Woodworth, LA, Nov. 3-5
we want to make sure we have enough songs for the whole weekend and that we can play them well
Martin (Moser, not Gosserand) is really trying to lead us in that direction, and i know he's doing the best he can
Jason (the youth director) is always there as well, but i don't really like what he does to lead us
practice before last, he gave us this huge stack of new songs, none of which i had ever heard before
and we already had a bunch of songs we were working on
so he takes up like thirty minutes of our practice time playing some of these songs from his iPod or whatever
then at last practice, he just kinda springs the question, "how's your song writing going?"
well, few of the members there at the time have done much song writing, and we haven't been real concerned with writing new stuff since we're trying to get our old stuff down pat
so it was totally the wrong time to be asking about that
then, i had wanted for me and martin to spend a few minutes after practice figuring out the notes for a song so i could play it with my trumpet
but as soon as 8:00 hit, jason told us to unplug everything and take it all down, so we didn't get any time to do anything else
basically, i think we're losing sight of what we really are doing
after Nov. 5th, we need to not worry about performances for a while and focus on our music-making
and jason needs to just step back and let us handle it ourselves
he doesn't even really have much music experience
urrgh.
okay, rant's over
