I lie here dying...
Well I just got in from doing our performance and I feel a little like Im going to die. We did a full fun through of the show before many people go there and after that I seriously felt like shit. It kind of felt like there was a medal stake going through my right temple and out to the left one, and then something large and heavy pushing incredibly hard right on the top of my head. Thats the best way to describe it. I still have that feeling right now actually. Im guessing it was from the heat. But anyway so I got off the field and kinda stumbled a little and finally sat down. Thank god for the nice people of band. Tiffany (our majorette) took me into the shade and started pouring water on me and on my wrists to cool me down, and Chris gave me the rest of his water. Then we sat in the shade for a bit while Dr McCoy (the band director) talked to us. I could not stop shaking and I still felt horrible.
When it came time to perform everyone was telling me to sit out but I just couldnt. It was the first performance and I really wanted to make it through it. So when we started I started to feel a little better.. me and Ed did our silly faces at eachother and I thought I was diong ok. But by the end of the 2nd song I really started to feel horrible. I know I should have sat out but... I didnt. It was a mistake on my part. I messed up alot on my rifle work too =(
After our 7 songs the perfomance ended and I kinda fell down lol Then I got some water and went and kind of talked to my Brunswick friends. It was great to see Katie and I really enjoyed my Andrew hug. I miss him alot. Most of the people that came to see the show dont like me so they probably thought I was being overly-dramatic on the field when I would start grabbing my head in agony. But seriously if you could feel how my head felt, youd be doing worse. I dont remember ever feeling that bad before, besides like when I have the flu.
I guess the performance was kinda fun tho. Itll be more fun when I have all the work down and we have uniforms tho. It was still nice to see everyone tho.
Then I came back, took a shower, and Chris came by and checked on me before he went to dinner with his mom. I thought that was very thoughtful of him and I really appreciated it. Its friends like him, (and Katie, and all the other people that made sure I was alright) that keep me going.
So yet again I wrote far more than I thought I would. So Im gunna go lay down until this headache goes away.
