the downs of things that are "fun"

i am sooo BURNT! i just got back from an eight hour marching band practice and i am completely baked. well, not completely, but my feet and shoulders and knee pits are lobster red. it actually hurts and that is saying something. it normally doesn't hurt me to get burned so much, but i am hurting even when nothing rubs against those sensitive spots. i am so sore. we had to wear our drums today while marching which sucked so bad. i sometimes get sore without that dumb thing on my back. it wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to go so far in so little steps, but we have to do that and crab march while doing it (that means we have to be on our toes and march sideways while keeping our shoulders square with the drum major). i almost puked too! that was fun. i was like hugging the trash can in the bandroom. the band really makes me angry as well. they are so slow. it took them forever to get first movement down. we have our plotting and all that stuff down. the only thing the drumline needs to do is put the music and plotting together. now that is what i'm scared of. and tackling third movement. i am so tired and i have to mow the lawn. NOT FUN!

tomorrow i have voices and registration for classes. i am so excited because i am taking drama this year! i didn't take it last year and i was miserable. i am never making that mistake again. although, i have to admit that i will miss second period band. band season we work on the show and cadenses (our tunes that we play at the games, rallies, etc.) and then the rest of the year we do homework. that's nice for people who have ap classes and the other lazy people. the drummers just hang out in the drum room and we play random games that would probably break our necks, but no accidents so far =)! and we listen to stupid ring tones and best of all, we play palace (or idiot for anne!). good times, but i am not willing to give up my first extra curricular priority for that. i don't know. i guess there are downs to everything (almost).
