I’m guard captain, well one of them, and the rest of the guard is a mess. Everybody has potential but it’s just too big and there’s not focus. We had our first competition on Saturday in Chicago, and the band overall got second in our class out of three bands. We have two days until our next competition so we have no time whatsoever to clean any work, and we SUCKED on Saturday. So, that’s not cool.
I’m drama historian and one of my jobs is to plan homecoming, but when I made a suggestion on what to do at tailgate, the president (one of my friends, but very controlling and power hungry) vetoed it and said we were doing Beatles Rock Band. Okay, whatever, it’s not like it’s my job or anything.
My drama director is incompetent and doesn’t pick a show until the day before or the day of auditions. We found out the show yesterday, auditions are tomorrow. The show is Snapshot, a collection of seventeen short plays, with one or two people in each scene or “play”. It’s about Mount Rushmore. I’m hesitant to have him write me a college recommendation, but I’m still gonna ask him.
College applications are hectic. I’ve made it a goal to do something related to college everyday. I had seven colleges I was applying for, now I have four: University of Texas at Austin, Columbia College Chicago, Butler University, Indiana University. Possibly McKendree University if I like the looks of it and if I get around to it, that’s where this weekend’s marching band competition is. Woohoo.
Also, I'm in this weird phase right now where I'm really into designing t-shirts. Not like as a hobby, but when they are needed to be designed, I've designed them. I designed my high school's GSA t-shirt (Gay Straight Alliance) and the Colorguard t-shirt, and the Marching Band Seniors' t-shirt. I designed the Drumline's as well but it got rejected by the teacher so it won't be made. Anyway, thought I'd share. I'm excited to put them on my resume. I'll post photos of them soon, when they all are done.
Other than that my life is happy and good. I’m celebrating my one year anniversary on the tenth of October, and I’m still so in love it’s ridiculous. School is fine, homework-wise, though I’m just over high school in general. Photography is my most rigorous class, but I’m passionate about it so it’s all good. I love you all, and thanks for putting up with me and my inconsistent blogging. <3
