nuts

yep, i am going NUTS! not in a bad way, but still: going nuts is going nuts. i have been learning so much in my ap class. i know what some words mean! odd words like, whimsical and facetious. i've heard people use them and i guess what they mean by the context in which they are used, but i actually know what they mean! even better, i did so well on my first monologue back in drama class after a year. i had forgotten how thrilling it was to go up in front of people and be some off-the-wall character. this week i was a 6 and-a-half-year-old. yes yes, good times. mr. wingfield told me it was so cute how i would let my eyes wander and my arms swing at my sides. and i mispronounced some words. hee hee. it was fabulous. there was also a football game last night. yeah, covina! woo woo! except, we lost sorely so it wasn't as great as it could've been, but that's okay. the score was 55-12. i know, it's really pathetic, but it happens. the band did better and we fell apart during half-time. the music was so off and it is so hard to march that dumb thing because the band drags which makes it hard to be on-step because the drumline wants to speed up and i really hate back-marching (which we do a lot of). the tenor players rush the music so much and that starts the sucking streak. it is awful. the first thing julie and i said to each other was, "that was awful!" it was bad, but it was surprisingly fun. my arm hurts so bad from playing cadences way too fast. stupid johnathan likes all of the fast cadences and he rushes all of the slow ones. it's because he is a tenor drummer and likes to show off. it's a re-occuring thing i've been seeing in the many tenor drummers that pass through covina high school. enough about the football game. there is a dance tonight! i am really excited because they are like the most fun thing you can do on a saturday night. yay!

yay for having fun! i'm glad that drama is just as awesome as you remember, we wouldn't want your expectations to kill the goodness of it - we'd have another "pirate's" or something on our hands...yikes!
