Wow, I fail at this blogging thing.

I don't want to write the history of my life. So I guess here's a quick review of the past 6 months:

February: nothing significant.

March: Spring break. I honestly don'e even remember what I did.

April: Band contest. That's all I remember.

May: School ended.

June: Girls camp.

July: EFY.

Also, this summer I've been learning how to drive and nannying these girls:

and their sister who was asleep when I took this picture. It's so so much fun, but very exhausting! They pretty much consider me their personal jungle gym.

We just came back from Nauvoo and Missouri. It was a fun trip and the country there is beautiful!

Let's see. Colorado soon! Band right after that!

Oh! Yesterday I had another sectional in the game room. It was productive, but there is always room for improvement :)

FRIDAY IS DCI! Do you know what that is?!?!?!?!? DRUM CORPS INTERNATIONAL. That means I get to see the top 10 marching bands in the WORLD perform in HOUSTON. I am so excited.

The plan is to march piccolo this year. Even though it's the same fingerings as the flute, the feeling of your mouth is completely different! It's been a challenge teaching myself how to play it and it makes me extremely light headed, but oh well I'm excited.

The chiropractor claims to be able to cure my vertigo. Sounds great, but as of now my back hurts.

Sorry if it was painful to read this, I'm scatter brained right now if you hadn't noticed. It's been a looooong day.

Lately....

See that girl up there in that picture? That's Katie Dennington. She's one of my best friends. And she's awesome. Just thought you wanted to know.

Ever since Christmas break, I feel like there isn't much going on but really there is! Let's see.

I had a birthday party with like the coolest people ever.

I went to the mall with Katie and then went to her house.

We rode the golf cart with Marshall.

Logan, Tanner, and Aunt Melissa came for a visit.

I went to a birthday party.

I went to priest/laurel conference.

I watched a high school basketball game and realized how much I miss it.

I had crazy teenage girls sleep over and went to bed 3 hours earlier than them.

Even though it was at my house.

I took a music theory test for the 6th year in a row.

I babysat for 4 hours and finally got some money because I had no cash before.

That money is for some more plans.

And those are just the weekends. Actually, the week IS boring because we mostly do chores.

This is the first year that our drumline did an indoor drumline competition. They had their first competition yesterday in Austin and ranked first in their class. Half of my best friends in the whole wide world are in it. I am so proud of them! I kinda wish I was in it playing the synth part just so I could be a part of it!

I need, so badly, to work on Driver's Ed. Stupid Box.

PROCRASTINATION. oh, and Christmas!

Wow! It has been FOREVER since I have posted anything! Ok maybe not forever, but like 5 months. This school year is going by so fast! Some classes are really easy, but there are some that I really have to work hard in! But I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL SO MUCH MORE THIS YEAR!!!!!!!! I have grown closer to the friends that I want to be closer to, and now they are my best friends EVER! Football season ended in November, and marching ended in October. Contests went better than last year, but STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Thanks for blocking part of the picture, dude.

November and December were mostly filled with lots of tests, but that's okay, I finally had time to study! It was great! I also had some great times with some of my best friends, Katie, Sarah, Marshall, and Abbi on the weekends! It was great! In this past month we have gone cow punching twice and it is SO MUCH FUN!!!!! I am definitely looking forward to doing it again!

We like riding around on Katie's golf cart!

Now it is Christmas Eve! That means tomorrow is CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! Kenny, Megan,

Will, and Breanna are all here. Jacob and Pierina are spending Christmas in Seattle with

Pierina's family, but that's ok because we got them for Thanksgiving!

Merry Christmas!

summer band

so, i was really really nervous about band tryouts today. but it ended up to be pretty good! i think i made top band again! yay! none of the freshmen are good....seriously. thats good AND bad. good because im guaranteed a spot in top band. bad because, well, we aren't gonna sound good at uil!

before tryouts we also marched. all we did was have another refresher day of how to march, which was really boring. the only good thing about marching this year is that they changed the style ever so slightly to where one of the positions is a LITTLE bit more comfortable.

the best part of today was the 2 hours between marching and tryouts. usually we have no freetime. we usually go straight from marching to practicing music. but because today was tryouts we just kinda chilled in the band hall and i got to catch up with all my friends after a long time of not seeing some of them. lets just say lots of funny stuff happened, haha.

so im really glad tryouts are over, now my only stresses are missing all of next week of marching, and then theres the summer reading projects....
