time to write...
i just realized today that i have not written in this journal for such a long time. in fact, i have not a clue as to what i should write now for there is so much so i'll just pick up with this last very boring and yet busy week.
let me pull out my handy-dandy agenda so that i know what i did. well, not really but i wish that i had one so that it might be easier for me to remember the goings on of my crazy life. last monday, if i am not mistaken, i was "sick". this meant that i also had a english paper due which i had not yet finished. so my plan was to wake up, go to my parents room hunched over, and say that i was really sick. isn't it amazing how this work out, for when i woke up, i was sick as a dog. i ended up spending about 2 hours between my bed and the bathroom. so i slept the rest of the day away until i realized that i really had to write that paper. so i did and i think i got a 6 or a 7 on it...i think. that's not too bad cause i used to getting 4s. anyway, enough about my horrible english grades.
nothing happened at all on tuesday except for me walking around school like a zombie cause i got no sleep what so ever the night before.
wendesday was a better day though. that night at jazz band we were playing a song called oye como va, which i am sure you have heard of. to continue the boring review of my life...we got to a section of the song where i'm guessing was supposed to be a sax solo, but albert wasn't there so fred told me to take it! i was like, "No Way!" but he won and now i'm am actually soloing for the first time ever. People will actually hear me playing in jazz band now.
Thursday started the rowan side by side band, otherwise know as the "I won't be home till 10 pm so save me food band". Originally, Troy and I were both supposed to attend but troy decided to back out for reasons which i shall let him get away with, so i had to go by myself. So for 1.5 hours each day (45 min. both ways) i was listening to the radio and trying to not completely zone out. this nice thing was on the way home i could average about 80 and no one would care. the music was cool and i can't wait for the cd but that i will share later.
friday and saturday were boring until saturday afternoon. i convinced this girl at work to stay until 8 so that i could duck out at 4. the reason you ask? well, i shall tell you. i had a freshman preview at seton hall on sunday. so instead of getting up at 5 in the morning sunday, my father and i went up to my aunt mary and uncle chris's house which is right around the corner. it was great seeing them again. the great part was that my dad let me drive (which my mom refused to let me do last time since she is paranoid) and not only did he let me drive, but i got to drive the truck which is so much better that my boat. but we got there at 8 and had pizza and talked until real late when we realized that we were going to have to wake up early and needed to get to bed. well, i would have had a nice night's sleep except for reasons which i will not bore you with...even though that's what i have been doing for the last 5 or so paragraphs.
so sunday i spent the morning at seton hall where many people knew who i was cause of the scholarship i got, which is cool. after going, i realized that i can't wait till the fall semester starts since i love it there. i just wish that i could park on campus but i can't until my senior year. but maybe i'm going to be able to convince my aunt and uncle to park in their garage...there's always hope. after being at seton hall and spending $80 on parafanalia (you know what i mean) my dad and me headed back to delran so that i could drop him off and i could head off to rowan. so i got home, took an hour nap, and then headed off again. practice was boring but i made it kinda interesting with the occasional loud cough in the middle of a english horn solo...don't ask.
and of course monday started school again. (i'm almost done). i went in late monday so that i could sleep in...it almost went off without a hitch except that i got there 10 minutes to late for the day to count as a full day. other than that it was cool. that night was once again rowan and a late night.
tuesday : ditto last paragraph except went in on time.
yesterday was the rowan concert. it was funny cause i got there nice and early so that i could just chill and not have to worry about anything. well, the dress rehearsal started at 5. at 4:10 i realized that i didn't have my music or mallets. so i called home in a panic and my mother (thank god she was in a good mood) was loving and said that she would get the music and mallets and bring them to the school for me. so during the runthrough of the first song, my phone goes off and i run out and get my music. after that my rehearsal sucked and i played horribly. but my mom treated me to dinner at a chinese place so i felt better. i got back to the school and got changed into my new outfit which i looked great in. the concert was awesome. i played so good. that's why i can't wait to get the cd cause i really want to hear how i sounded to everyone else. on top of that i talked to jason on my way home and i'm really starting to think that i have a chance...i'm really hoping right now.
today was great since...dum dum dum...it was the last day of school for more than a week!! i love spring break. on top of that, i didn't do anything in almost all my classes and have very little to do over the break which is even better. i also got the oboe which i've wanted to learn for many years now. so after school dave and i went to sam ash so that i could get a reed and i also got a mallet book which looks like i can really practice with which should be nice. i had an awesome time chillin with him. i hardly talk to him anymore but now that we are talking about i'm real happy. so now i am done boring you have need to get a good night's sleep cause chrissy and i are going prom shopping tomorrow and we are going to have soooo much fun. i shall leave you now if you haven't already left me and say adieu. lata people!
