Hella days

So, yeah
I've been really caught up with Track, school, testing, all that crap
It's been keeping me pretty busy
So I really apologize blog, for neglecting you

I am currently drinking a Sobe and relaxing, with my homework load going way down with the year drawing to a close

I really will come up with more later

School days

It has been a hard week.
I'm so tired I can't even think right now
Track. Meet.
It wasn't so bad
Shot: 29' which is okay I guess, I'll get better with time
Disc: 82'11" Pretty good considering how slick that ring was
I have not much to say, so...
I'm going to sign off early

Half and Half

Okay, since I'll be gone tomorrow until around 9:40 or later, I'll try and make this blog a long one to compensate
How about another schedule day?

Pre A Period:
Woke up... felt TERRIBLE
Showered... which made me feel better I guess
Got dressed, took forever, I was moving slow this morning, haha
Skipped breakfast cause I was out of time... which sucked majorly later on
Ran out the door with my tenor and dad

A Period:
We had to wait for Nishi to come around, we had a sub for Butterfield, who was Jessica's mom, which was probably weird for her
Both Wind and Concert rehearsed in the band room, how you may ask?
Well, Concert went first(We sound TERRIBLE. I'm so sick of being in concert band...)
Then Wind went after we were done(They sounded amazing, as usual)
Got out and went on my way to 1st period...

1st period:
Talked heavily about trench warfare and tactics from WWI
What a bloody mess that was, my God
I can't help but hurt inside learning about the millions of young men who died for nothing

2nd Period:
Had a sub... she paid no attention to us while we made sexual jokes, mosquito tones, and lots of inappropriate... things in class, it was terrible, I laughed so hard

3rd Period:
Geometry, which was on task, for once, haha
We get a lot done, but Mr. Loew really likes talking about the latest news, which is cool, cause that's why we have that period, to talk about the world a little

4th Period:
German... Well, we do a lot in german
corrected homework
partnerarbeit
oh, und ein neues lied haben wir gelernt

Lunch:
Boring, I tried to get "dick in a box" out of my head, it was terrible
Sat in a corner and listened to my iPod

5th Period:
Band,
Rehearsed the set once more for the festival tomorrow
I got praised for politely asking to use the restroom
which was cool?
I don't know, I think Nishi was just messing with me

6th Period:
Bio
Took a practice test for tomorrow's test, which I will... miss.... darnit
Means I have to take it Monday after school, oh well

Track:
Well, I searched for Daniel's wallet, seeing as he lost it somewhere
Didn't get changed, just wore my jeans down to grab my shot and discs, listened to the meeting, ran up to the band room and chilled out with Mabbey, Aaron, and Rhiannon talking about accents

Jazz B:
Sight-read a new tune... improv solo for me...
I suck at improv
Give me written music, PLEASE
Then spent time on 88 Basie street
Sectional with Anthony, and I learned that one fingering that's been bugging me

Home:
My sister got braces, hahaha, it really sucks for her
I HATED BRACES
Yeah
Listening to Muse, finished my homework
Dinner should be in a few



TOMORROW!
Okay, so this is how I think it'll work:

A-Rehearse, run over the schedule real quick
1-Notes on WWI
2-Popcorn reading again
3-Notes on Sine, Cosine, and Tangeants
4-Who knows?
Lunch-Getting changed into my tux, getting ready to leave
Chabot-Show up, perform, find Amador, and hang with them
I can't wait

Heated neck wrap bliss

OHMYGODITFEELSSOEFFINGGOOOOOOOOOODDDDD
I like heated pads, I might wear them to band review in the future
One on the neck, elbow, you know, warmth?
I need to layer up more for band
Especially later in the season when it's freezing

Right now...
Waiting for dinner, we're having chicken with fontina and basil
My sister gets braces on tomorrow, so when I went to the store today, made sure to grab corn on the cob
Seeing as for a year and a half she won't be able to eat it right off the cob
That wasn't fun, I know from experience

Track?
So, nexty-next saturday is the East Bay Invitational
And... I'm throwing Varsity as a Sophomore!
I'm so excited!
My captain says that if I can be hitting 105 by the third/fourth meet, he'll let me throw varsity so I can get my letter early
Which is good, cause my letterman will finally look like I do an actual SPORT, not just marching band
I mean...
I think Marching band is one of the toughest things you could choose as an activity
it's a LOT of work, time, and money
But track?
People have been seeing who can throw things farther, run faster, jump higher since the dawn of our kind
So if that's not a sport, I don't know what is.

D-D-Dead

We had insanity rain workouts today in track
lots of tedious, very painful stuff
extended lunges across the football field
frog jumps
bounding
grapevines...
core jump push ups
olympic push ups
all in the rain

I was so soaked, and my stuff went into the dryer as soon as I got home
I really should take a nap
but...
I can't stop surfing the interwebs

I have ridiculous wet hair
I look like one of those lego characters, with the clean-cut 50's look
My mom says I look older, but even she knows it didn't suit me

I really don't have anything to report, so I think I'm going to end this blog early, sorry to disappoint

Bored on a Monday Night

Oooh, that should be a title for a song or something

Anyways, that sums up this moment... right...... now.
yeah
And here I sit, I've beaten Assassin's Creed II
It was AMAZING
Very good story, exciting gameplay, fun side-quests, and plenty of killing corruption
Oh, and killing some bards, but oh well, they deserved it, annoying punks
I've just drawn two new character designs for Daniel
My clothes are all in the dryer...
My sweatpants aren't very warm...
Ooh, I just received a text
....
Well that's not for sharing! Hahahaha
Just inner circle stuff, those secrets. Silly teenagers
Honestly though, with track and everything, most of this stuff is pointless in comparison
I just run through my day, deal with the same people, until 2:48, then I'm happy as can be!
It's hard to believe there's only a few months left, only some of which are track
Discus...
It's doing pretty well I guess
Shot put?
Not so much
I'm so sick of shot put, I really need to improve though

Uhhh
It's supposed to rain this week, which, despite the positives, is just annoying.
Rain means weight room...
Not as exciting as throwing

Uh, my little sister has her first colorguard competition of the season this Saturday, I'm really excited to go watch her
Haha, she's getting braces too this week
That'll be a hoot
I hated braces
But after I got them off...
I was the SEX. APPEAL.
Well, in band at least
Haha, I was such an annoying, cocky freshman
Looking back now, I would have punched myself in the face
