| ehh...this past weekend i went with kyle to lubbock...then had to leave. it sucked. i dont know how long its been since i cried that hard. he even cried. it was just altogether sad. BUT, i'll be able to see him in about a month...i hope time flies this year. being drum major without mr n is definitely weird. practice is unorganized and bethaney and i dont have much to do. we finally decided to do a mini drill sorta but we cant do much because he didnt completely chart the drill. o well. im so sleep deprived right now. my goal for saturday is to sleep in. yea, so this entry is randomness...I MISS ALL MY COLLEGE FRIENDS!!!! i feel kinda lonely. you guys better call me and stuff....im out for now. | | |
| yesterday kyle and i were arguing so i gave him this:
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, Who calls you back when you hang up on him, Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, Who wants to show you off to the world when you're in your sweats, Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Wait for the guy who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you, and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says "that's her".
I think kyle got the point, because before he left my house he kissed me on the forehead . it was really sweet. AND i got my schedule (i spelled it right this time) and heres the classes:
Fall: 1. Concurrent Psychology -AC 2. Yearbook -Krause 3. Anatomy & Physiology -Kouts 4. Link (grrr) - Mitchell 5. Band (of course)
Spring: 1. Teacher Cadets -Brewer 2. Aide in Attendance Office (i might get this one changed) 3. Eco/Govt -McPherson/Herrington 4. Link again 5. Band again
Boring i suppose but i bet it'll fly by like all the other years have. | | |
| well...band camp is over. it didnt go so bad. im just not really looking forward to starting school again. its just weird to think that this time next year i'll be getting ready to leave all my friends and the only place i've known for 17 years. i know college will be great though. it will be so weird this year not having last years seniors. my schedual(sp?) looks like my hardest class will most definitely be link again. i dont have any other ap classes thank goodness, i hate taking those tests. kyle left for his senior church trip this morning, and so thats another few days of not being able to see him after not seeing him for a week. i guess thats getting us both used to the idea of him being at tech and me still being here. wow thats going to be hard, but he's already said he wants to make it work. so do i. im debating whether or not to go on the band senior trip because its during spring break and if he and i have the same spring break then thats time i could spend with him. but the trip would be awesome. anyway, to the seniors that read this- keep in touch, i'll miss you guys next year and i love you. | | |
| georgia and drum major camp down, oklahoma, majorette camp and band camp left in my summer that feels even shorter than ever. i leave tomorrow morning for oklahoma to see my sis and dad and granny & half the town of wapanucka (population est. 300) that im related to in some way or another. my sis lives in oklahoma city and its awesome being with her, im NEVER bored. its so cool to see her. we really missed out on a childhood together because we grew up in different states, but we do have a great relationship now. KYLE GETS TO GO WITH ME!!! that might be one of the best parts. he and i havent spent much time together this summer because we're both busy and it seems like im always gone.
to put it bluntly....drum major camp was complete and total hell!!! i did not like it one bit. the man who ran it got meaner and meaner every day, i was more tired than i think i've ever been and it was HOT. haha. but bethaney and i met some really cool people. i even really liked the pine tree & carthage drum majors. the kingwood drum majors were cool, and even admitted NAMMB was rigged for them. but we were able to overlook that. haha. thursday night the kingwood and whitehouse drum majors came in our room and we just stayed up and talked for a long time. it was too bad we didnt do that sooner. hopefully we'll all keep in touch, and i know that if i see them sometime it will be really cool.
georgia was sort of depressing though. my great grandmother gets worse and worse each week it seems like, and although im not as close to her as i was to the one who passed away last year, its still hard. everytime we go there i think about losing my great aunt last year too. its just hard. but, my two cousins have the sweetest babies i have ever been around!!!!! they are precious and beautiful and sweet and pleasant. they're such good babies!! one of my cousins has a 5 year old and 1 year old twins and the other has a 1 year old son. they were all great. i just wish i could have stayed longer to be with the babies cause they were so much fun.
and as for the new band director....I LIKE HIM!!! haha, i think he might be a nice change after mr n, and now i really believe our band might even improve. after hearing mr bullocks approval and seeing how good the pine tree drum majors were, i felt so much better. and then i got to meet him friday, and i feel like my senior year will be a good one. i will definitely miss mr n, but i think mr williams will be great too.
anyway, i need to get to bed beacuse im leaving at 6 in the morning. this is a LONG entry....haha! | | |
| ooo man...im excited about our 2006 drill team officers!! congrats to all of you!! but also, im nervous, worried, and anxious about drum major tryouts... The school year is almost over and i'll be ready to get out of ms garrets class . lol. what kind of face is that? haha. i dont really have anything to discuss right now but being upset about mr n's demotion. he is a man who is not only vital to the success of the high school band, but a man who has encouraged and supported many kids, including me. i know he honestly cares about each and every one of his students and its just a shame to see him have to go....but we're gonna fight it. if you read this and want to help too, call any school board member and just ask them to reconsider 'reassigning' mr n.
Katie, thank you so much for that letter you shared with me. i know i'll miss Kyle, but i hope we will have a handle on it like you and Zack. You're such a positive person and it's great to see how dedicated you are to God. I wish there were more people like you. | | |
