Friday was the day we were supposed to bus up to San An for the contest, but Wind Ensemble had UIL, so Fairley, Tom, and […]

A Moment to Relax

Life has been interesting as of late. This being jr year, I feel obligated to say something about the workload, and in the end, all I can say is that it’s a lot more pressure than actual work. And in the midst of the insanity, there’s always time to relax. And TV and video games […]

Some More Thoughts on NY

If you haven’t read the below post, do so before reading this; it’ll make more sense that way. Or not. That’s cool too. So I must say, this is honestly the first true break I think I’ve ever had, in the sense that I’ve felt I’ve needed it and used it. True, every summer break […]

New York

So that was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever done. I hate to recount events like what shall follow, but it seems to be the easiest, most inclusive way to do it. Before I even get into the actual events, a humongous hugs and thanks to my group for being a lot of […]

Recap

So the band got offered to get a small pep group to play for the Copperheads tonight. I, never wanting to miss an opportunity, jumped on it, and boy, was it a waste of 5 hrs. Possibly the one great thing that happened all night was this one play, a PAT play. The placeholder guy […]

The Study Bug

No, I haven’t started doing more hw for school or working harder in APUSH, though either would be good. It’s not school studying I’m talking about; it’s actual learning. And boy does it feel good. As of late, I’ve been stuck in more and more academic ventures. Recently, I’ve been pushing for more and more […]

You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

So instead of getting that beautiful night’s rest at the end of the break before I jump into my LiA essay at 7:27 tomorrow morning, I can’t go to sleep right now.I even made a deliberate attempt to being tired so that I could. I eventually figured out that the reason why I stay up […]

A Great Moobie

So, seeing as this is the break and I’ve been temporarily incapacitated due to a wisdom teeth operation, I’ve had a lot of time to sit around at home, do nothing, and eat lots of ice-cream and popsicles. Dream break, right? (other than having to hold an icepack to my face 24-7 to keep down […]
