Yeah Toast
Hehe. Sorry-my title amuses me, but probably not anyone else. When we do warm-ups, the drum majors each choose a song to stretch to and everything. So, one of them chose a really weird song today. I can't really explain it, but it had funny lyrics and then it was like, "yeah toast" just kinda screeched. And then there was a french verse and it said "french toast" and...yeah. It was hilarious. And the drummers do a cadence that they use that in now too. So yeah. That's my amusement for today.
I've been really wishy washy today. I guess I've been like that most of the week. It was my last day of band camp, so that's a big relief. I have most of tomorrow free and then I start classes on Monday already. The girl that I was saying I had kinda made friends with yesterday may be quitting band now. That kinda sucks.
Band is frustrating and time-consuming and everything, but my section is pretty funny. Like, today, we were watching the cheerleaders and all their crazy mounts, and this one guy in our section was like, now I know why there are so many guy cheerleaders-they all just stand there and wait to catch the hot asses. But yeah. They still think I'm the quietest girl in the world, but I feel a little more comfortable around some of them.
I decided that the worst situations are, like, the elevator...cause there are a bunch of people crammed into a small space-usually noone knows each other and it's just silent. People are like, where do I look? We all stare up at the numbers or something, and it's really weird. It kinda makes me think of that e-mail or whatever with the list of things to do to scare people in an elevator or something. So yeah.
And then meals are kinda weird too. Cause you either have to eat alone, or sit with people that you don't really know that well. Since I've been in band all the time, I've been eating with band people, but it's just kinda weird. If I go out with the upperclassmen in my section or something, they all talk and I just kinda sit there. If I go out with other freshmen, it's just kinda ackward. A lot of times we don't have anything to talk about, or we're just too tired to do anything. Crazy band camp. But yeah. I dunno. I still feel weird. I know it takes time to make good friendships, but...yeah.
Anyway, I was in a really low mood earlier today. Right now I'm not as bad. We had our first "performance" type dealie today. We played pre-game for a scrimmage game that was part of the passages thing. I saw Heather sitting in the front row.
I also saw Vicki tonight. She stopped by my dorm, because she just got to school today. She lives three floors below me-almost exactly. So, she sat in my room for awhile, and her, my roommate, and I talked for awhile. It was very cool, because I haven't seen Vicki in months-she just got back from Europe yesterday, and she's already at school today. Poor girl!
Well, I don't actually have to wake up so early tomorrow, so that's exciting. My roommate's watching Miss Congeniality with her friend now. I think I'll just watch it with them when I'm done. Oh-when I was going to go to sleep last night, I had trouble sleeping...and my roommate came in later. We talked for awhile, and she returned a few phone calls. It was really funny, because on one of the calls, all I heard was "So, which professor did I sleep with?" When she got off the phone, she was cracking up. Apparently someone had spread a rumor that she slept with a professor for a grade or something. Oy ve. It was really funny.
Anyway, I think I'm going to relax and watch this movie or whatever. Oh-and I forgot...I talked to Sheila tonight too. It was exciting, because I want to see her sometime and I haven't yet. So, I think I may see her tomorrow. That's exciting. And I got a call from Froshy Nicole today too. Hmm...there was one more thing-what was it? Oh-well, I talked to our director (for band) after talking to the Jewish Sarah in band, and he was totally understanding about Rosh Hashanah and such. He was like, religious reasons are totally different from anything else. You should be free to do what you want for that. So, we're getting out of that Saturday morning rehearsal to go to services. I also talked to the Jewish girl on my floor again, and she said that someone forwarded her e-mail address to the Hillel president or something, so she'd give me more info later. So yeah. That wasn't what I was gonna say though. I still don't remember what it was. Oh well. I shall be heading out. Goodnight!
Ooh! I think I remembered what I was going to say. I was talking to Ellie (my youth group advisor) online tonight, and I was upset, because I never got to see her or talk to her this summer, and she was talking about coming down to visit me sometime. Yay! I love her!
