I have the dreaded finals next week, and the only ones I'm exempt out of are the easy ones, language and history. The band final won't be tough at all, probably just a chair test, and Forensics won't be much at all. The hard one is going to be Pre-Chem, which I'm nowhere close to getting out of. I'm going to be a dead little panda for that one, man ( Read more... )

So yeah, the weekend went great, considering I didn't die. Dinner was okay, football team won state, lost and found my band shoes, rather uneventful, really ( Read more... )

If you haven't watched the early episodes of Hellsing, you probably don't know who Jan is. The Valentine Brothers make the best episode preview-people.

Well, with Greater St. Louis being yesterday, competitive marching band has been over for twenty-four-odd hours and thirteen minutes as I type this. For a huge surprise, we actually PLACED at Greater St. Louis, which is totally MINDBLOWING, with percussion ranked third in the cream of the crop. This is the hugest achievement that the band has ( Read more... )

ack. It seems like I haven't updated in a long time, so while I'm sick at home, I might as well. I have a case of strep throat, and the horse pills, although I have to take them all mixed up in pudding, work pretty well.

Band's been going very well this season, as we've placed very high in ( Read more... )

Why yes, I am reading Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut. That and "Ting-a-ling!" are now permanent parts of my lexicon.

So, today was a tad freaky. Had a school-wide blackout in third hour ( Read more... )
