Oh what a day...

[mrsoliverwood]

You know, not much inspires me to write in my livejournal any more. But something about the way my emotions went today made me have to write. First of all, I had my alarm set to 10 so I wouldn't sleep all day, but I kept resetting my alarm and eventually turned it off until I woke up a little after noon. From then on, today was the most mindless

I know how you feel. you go back expecting everything to be the same but it isn't. you realize that they don't need you any more and you feel out of place. SPHS in no longer your home.... worst feeling in the world.
Sorry you had to have that feeling, give it a semester, then everyone will love you and you will be the coolest person to have ever walk into that band hall!

Haha, I'll hold you to that one! They better treat me like the awesome college kid I am. :D

Im in the same boat B. But I think it will be harder for me b/c not only do I not have a marching band to go into...I dont have any band. AND, now my sister is going to be marching...but at CPHS, which is causing some mixed feelings for me. On one hand, Im happy that she is marching and want to support her. But at the same time...how can I do that when I want SPHS to kick CPHS A$$. And since Im still going to be here, I have to keep telling myself that I cant go to every game or function anymore. Oh well, life moves on, and so will I. *hug*

Yay! One of Aaron's famous hugs. Make the world better with those, you do.

the class of '06 will not be forgotten, B. Although you may feel out of place...i know that alot of the people there love to see your *smiling* face around every once in a while.

true...it's no longer our home. But just like growing in general, going back to look at the pictures or to reconnect with old memories is not forbidden. we are built off of that school and that band, and we darn well better be accepted for visitation! (at least every now and again)

[mrsoliverwood]

Yes, we darn well better be!

This band hall is always your home...but now in a completely different way. As an adult whose parents live in a completely different house than I grew up in, I feel exactly what all of you feel but in a different aspect of my life. My parents live in that house, I have a key and I can come and go as I please as I need. It is their home. But I also know that if for some reason, I needed a "home" to go to (even just a shoulder to cry on), I know that I can go there. Same goes for you here. The Red Chair is always open to anyone that needs it and you are always welcome here; even if sometimes, it seems that we only have a second to wave and say "hello".

Thank you Ms. Benford! :D

B...I will NEVER think of you as that annoying alumni who can't move on, because I know your love for the band and the people there is what keeps you tied to us, not some immaturity. I'm getting scared of the time when I won't fit in anymore either, and it's far away...but I think I have that same undying connection to the band hall and all that it symbolizes: family, friendship, and our place and who we are or were as high schoolers. I know you may read this going, yeah, well, she still belongs there and she doesn't know how it feels to have graduated and have to move on, but I can imagine it, and I'm scared too, because I don't know if I'll be going into a marching band in college or any band for that matter, and it scares me, and I'm already scared to leave behind the people I know and love here. So just know that for those reasons alone, I know that you can never "not belong" in the SPHS band hall, because that would mean that one day I won't belong, and I couldn't stand that. I love you B.
