So while I've been gone, I must've been up to something, right? Oh, that is the understatement of the millenium. I've been up to about a million different things!!!!!! Well for one thing, I finished out my summer. It went WAAAAAAAYYY too fast. Just saying. And I hardly did anything too! Which leads up to...
BAND CAMP! Whoop. ummm let's see 8 hours a day for 5 days. 5 burning hot days. I got so tan. It was pretty amazing. But so tiring!!! And then on Saturday (I think) I went to my first stake dance! That was fun!!!!! And then that all leads up to....
HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!
I was incredibly scared to start high school (But who isn't? oh that's right. Crazy people. And possibly vampires) But aaannnyhooos. My schedule is pretty amazing. So amazing, in fact, that i'll post it right here. For everyone to see. Here we go:
1st per. - Zoology (Agriculture. I know I'm a total FFA nerd/country gal now. I dont care, FFA is fun hehe)
2nd per. - Weights (umm, SUPPOSED to be women's weights, but it happens to be a co-ed class. Whatever. The guys are all too obsessed about their biceps to notice us anyway)
3rd per. - Band! (whooop. actually this is just the drumline band. the cool band!!!! the others have it 1st period)
4th per. - Advanced Computer Applications (I actually tested into it! I was pretty psyched that I made it~ I didn't think I would!)
5th per. - Algebra 2 (Okay this class scared me the most. I was tempted to take Alg. 1 again just in case but I ended up NOT taking Mr. Judson's advice. But...... I'm totally fine! I actually understand it and have one of the highest grades in the class~ sort of!!!!!)
6th per. - Honors english (actually I lied. I actually have this 7th period.... But i'll explain that below)
7th per. - Release period (for seminary. Definitely my favorite class. But again like above, I lied about this.)
Ok, so about 6th and 7th period. Originally I had seminary 7th and English 6th. But my seminary class was HUGE. Like 30-something of us. And only 27 ish desks. SOO... Most of my friends and I that had english 6th- we switched into the 7th period Honors Eng. and now have 6th period seminary. Which is the best period. There are 10 of us and it's like a party! A spiritual party. Hehe. It's my FAVORITE class. Most definitely!!!!
So now my second most exciting thing....... MARCHING BAND!!!!!!!!! It takes up SOOO much time, not gonna lie. But it is extremely fun! Especially drumline! I am the only girl on snare. And also the shortest by a LOT. It's kinda fun. But the drum hurts my back. Well it did at first. A LOT. But I'm stronger now so it's mucho better!
Ummm let's see.... What to say. Well like I said, it takes up a ton of time. Try monday and thursday nights from 7-9, plus wednesday & friday mornings for sectionals. And the occasional Saturday practice!!! My mom is kinda (ok, understatement again), VERY tired of always toting me around places. Plus I've got clogging Thursday after school! I'm not home on thursdays until 9:30 pm!!! But that's how it goes! Soon marching band will be over (way too soon, in a way!)
Oh! Yesterday we had our first competition!!! In caldwell. And it was rainy. A lot. Umm, I froze my behind off! But it was fun! We got second, behind Skyview (Grrr. Their drumline is FLAWLESS, not gonna lie). BUT, on the bright side~ we get beat bad by them every year and this year we were only beat by 0.15 points!!!!!! Plus we got "Best Visual Effect"!!! That was exciting!!! Actually I didn't even go to the award ceremony thingy. I wimped out and ate my PB&J on the warm, dry bus! HA!
Okay MOST exciting thing!!! This Thursday, we are leaving to go to Olympia, WA!!! For a competition! It is going to be much fun!!! I am so so so so excited!!!! It's going to go something like this:
Thursday: LOOOONG bus ride up there, stopping at Miners Burgers in Yakima. Which will be fun. I wonder how many boys will do "the bet"... (background story: Mr. Williams has this ongoing bet whenever the band goes to Miners, whoever is participating in the bet has to eat two Big Miners burgers and ALL of the fries. If they do it, they get $5. But if they don't, they have to give Williams $5) Which doesn't seem TOO hard. But apparently, the burgers are HUGE. And so are the portions of fries. There are only a few boys that have done it! Anyways after that, we keep driving until we get to our hotel, which is one of the COOLEST hotels ever, the Great Wolf Inn (look it up, look it up!!!!!!!!) It seriously has a 6-story water park, INSIDE the hotel. So then Thursday night we get to play around with the water park until it's time to go to bed!!! Oh btw, our room is the COOLEST. My roomies are Taylor, Abby, Jess, Milly, and Kate!!!! I'm psyched : )
Friday: The FUN day. We get to go to the Experience Music Project, Pacific Science Center, Pike's Place, and I think we're gonna visit the Space Needle too. I dont think we get to ride up it though, unless we pay for it ourselves. It's going to be SO dang fun though : D!!!!!! Then once we get back we get to play in the water park AGAIN as late as we want to. But we also have to go to bed early enough that we can wake up early on Saturday!!!!
Saturday: The WORKING day!!! We have our competition at 9 something in the morning I believe? And we're the 2nd ones on the field!!!! Ummm I'm pretty sure it's going to be freezing though. Pooooey. Ohhh well I'll probably have to bring my winter coat!!!! After we perform, then we go play a little bit more at some mall... and then we'll probably go BACK to the hotel and play yet AGAIN! And then...
Sunday: We leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This will be bittersweet, I'm guessing. Mostly bitter but I will probably be so tired I wont really care. Haha
So that is going to be MAJORLY fun!!!!!!!! I still need to do a lot though!!!! Let's see.... I need to buy new drumsticks, a practice pad, electrical tape, and an ankle brace. Crudddd.
Ummm, it's fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AH! Definitely my favorite season!!! :D :D :D :D :D Seriously I love it so dang much!!!!
Wow i'm kinda running out of things to say. Oh! Yesterday and today is/was general conference! I'm writing this while I'm watching. Let me just say, Elder Holland's testimony of the Book of Mormon was amazing. Seriously. Probably my favorite so far!
So anyways! I probably better go because there's only 30 more minutes of conference and I wanna be 100% listening so I'll blog later!!!! I promise to be better about it : )
