Day 145: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


I will be blunt with you today. I slept in all of my classes and by all of them, I mean all of them. I really do. I was able to fall asleep in Weight Training. I do believe I deserve a medal for being able to fall asleep in a P.E. class. I fell asleep in Wind and Choir too. The only time I did not sleep was in Jazz because class was canceled. I also not fall asleep during lunch.

The more I talk about sleep the more I want to sleep right now. I do not want to sleep right now. I want to enjoy being home and awake.

I sleep(maybe). You sleep(maybe). We all sleep(maybe). 

Day 144: A Little Night Music


Then reality kicks in. I leave for Washington D.C. next Thursday. I feel excited, yet scared. We really might not be ready for this. We can get through the pieces from start to finish for the most part, but there seems to be this feeling of "we might not be good enough right now." I have my part down, and besides the occasional note miss, I am perfect. It is everyone else that makes me worried.

I had a night rehearsal today. We played through our entire WWII monument concert and two of the three songs of our Kennedy Center concert. We did really well. I felt surprised, then again we all did. If we can have more rehearsals like that then we can make it and play well, but if not, then we gave it our best shot.

Day 143: Spring Break Recap


The most beautiful face ever.

So how are you internet? It has been two weeks and so much has happened in such a short period of time. Let us recap what happened, in a somewhat chronological order, I think.

I have a new girlfriend, her name is Robyn. You can see what she looks like if you go out and search back through my days. I figured it was about time to move on and she was very persistent on dating me. I asked her to go to Prom with me before that because I realized that I then did not have a Prom date anymore. I guess things work out after all.

I became a confirmed Catholic on the day before Easter Sunday at the Easter Vigil. I, and I know this sounds odd, but one of the highlights of the evening was getting to wear nice clothes that actually fit me. Also, my best friend Simon is now my Godfather, so now every time I see him I have to kiss the ring and call him Don Simon. There was also an entire pew that had people there for me and it was all by accident because Simon's family and my family and my friend Hannah were all sitting coincidentally in the same row. My friend Anthony was in the choir and it was an entire evening of love , for me and God. Well there goes the furthest extent of  me ever talking about religion on this blog ever again.

Last Monday I lived at Don Simon's house with his family and our D&D group till Wednesday. It only really took us two days to finish the campaign. We played it in Real Time, but not in a LARPing way, so whatever time it was in real life it was that time in the game and everything we did Simon actually made us wait to do it. Example: we had to scale a cliff and every single time our character's moved he made us wait a minute before climbing more because we had to wait for our characters to climb. We also went to sleep when our characters slept, but that was because it was 2 in the morning. It was just a great experience all around. I also made a new character because I lost my old character sheet only to find it in my backpack this morning. My new character is far superior than my old character anyways.

That was my break in a nutshell. How was your's internet?

Days 138-142: End Of The Fifth Grading Period

Day 138
So close, but so far,
Weeks like this seem so familiar.

Day 139
How soon is now,
I want to know, but how?

Day 140
Halfway, so close, yet so far away,
How interesting is this Wednesday!

I donated platelets for the first time today. It was...an interesting experience. I had a needle stuck in my arm for 103 minutes. When I was asked why I did it when it was obviously uncomfortable for me I only responded with "I like the feeling of having a needle stuck in my arm." I later realized that I sounded like a man who is addicted to Smack, please note that I am not.

I actually enjoyed it though, not the needle part, but the part about having a needle stuck in my arm, but the helping part, that and I thought it was cool(literal and metaphorical) that my blood was being returned to my body after being filtered, I actually thought that it was soothing, in a cosmic sort of way. I am doing this again.

Day 141
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Sorrow, Sorrow, Sorrow, Sorrow

Also nose goes, bro.

Day 142
Such glorious moments we cannot fake
Onward to Spring Break!

I will not be updating for two weeks because that is how long my break is. Two weeks seem a little unreasonable because they take and take from my Summer and it makes my life a little lonely and boring, but that does not mean that I do not find ways to make it interesting.

Now if you excuse me I have to have arm wrestle BigFoot over Hilter's grave for the honour and glory of the Czar.

Day 137: Almost Spring Break


I have one more week till my Spring Break. So close, I can taste it.

By the way, that is not my long board. Fun fact, I actually can skateboard, just do not expect me to be good, I was only able to just cruise around. I stopped though because I got a ticket for skating without a helmet. It was stupid.
