last five days
ok ive been meaning to blog for five days. it has been five amazingly blog-inspiring days.
THURSDAY
district jazz!!!!! WOOHOO! it was amazing. ten hours in corry for a jazz audition. we were in that cafiteria so long that you almost forgot what life was like outside of corry. people randomly breaking out into songs with their insturments and creating quartets and small bands seemed completely natural by the end of the audition. anyway the first person they called was glorious ME! i got FIRST (and second) BAND!!! i was so happy. that is such a huge honor. first band iis persay the all-star band. im in with the best jazz musitions in town. the entire rythum section was academy. me on vibes, Andrew Gordon on drume, Kaitlyn mitchell on piano, Anthony Letto on guitar, and Sid on bass. im so excited, were playing some good songs too. beauty and the beast, caravan, stevie wonder medely. good stuff.
FRIDAY
im still excited about yesterday. i woke up excited, having only gone to bed four hours eariler. i got to school all excited and had the opportunity to tell everybody. there were very few people who didnt ask what band i got in. i net up with a whole bunch of other people in the hall who also got into band one and we did that excited hold hands and jump up and down and squeal a very high note. well Andrew Gordon is using my extremely old pair of mallats that i thought were LONG gone. apparently theyve survived five years at academy. all the homework that i didnt do the day before because of district jazz was excused, if not completely ignored. and the german test that i left early from to practice i DIDNT FAIL. in fact i got an 85 which is a B!!!!!!
SATURDAY
a fine day. definately not as good as the previous two. i went to see man of the year with my friends. i dont reccommend that movie. it was kinda funny in the beginning, but it got a little dry later. we went to the mall and wreaked havoc in all the stores we went into. i was going to buy this amazing coat to replace my ugly old one that is NOT cold at all. but it was billabong brand (one of my favorite brands of clothing) so it was $55. about 30 more than i had. it was in general a good day.
SUNDAY
UGH i hate sundays. first i got up and went to ccd. which was pertty much stupid. it amazes me that mom sends me there to learn about catholocism when they are clearly as catholoc as my head is round. meaning theyre still generally catholoc, but they believe in being saved (not incredably strongly but definately an improvement) and they dont believe that the only way to get to heaven is by eating a piece of bread. always nice. so then we went to the bad place for church. jennys group sang. they REALLY need to learn about tuning. and then the homily was so hypocritical and blasphemous and stupid that i was this close *im holding my fingers very close together* to waltzing right out of that place. but alas i did not. but i felt like i wante to wipe my eyes with a cheeze grater and sove sharpened pencils in my ears. it was NOT pretty.
TODAY (monday in case you didnt noice)
school was fine. we had a sub in geometry. in ceramics i painted my escher tiles again. im almost done. i think ill be done on wednesday. but my sheep got fired!! so it looks really good and i was going to post a picture of them but im too lazy. i got a really good grade and im rather proud of that accomplishment. in german we barely did anything. it was fun. we bought some ballons from the school store and inhaled the helium and sang songs in REALLY high pitched voices. it was.. interesting. in language arts we made a circle and barely talked about language arts at all. it was kinda pathetic. at home APPARENTLY im going to splash lagoon on wednesday with the Nelsons, my cousins, and Adrienne. thats exciting i guess.
WELL i have to go bye bye.

Nice to hear an update on your life. If you hadn't posted today i was about to tell you to. I am coming home in 16 sleeps!!
I feel i must now define the unit of time known as a sleep. It is a simple way of expressing time before a break. Instead of counting days (where everyone seems to come up with a different number because some ppl count this day, and others don't count that day cause it doesn't count)you count the number of times you (and the entire campus) will be going to bed before you leave. So, since i have 15 more nights in the dorm, i have 15 more sleeps before i come home. Sorry mike for using your comment page as a forum!
