Hm..
Free write.
This is also the last blog.
This definitely does not feel like it should be the last week of school.
But it is.

I have tryouts tomorrow, as well.
I'm nervous.
I'm sure i'll do okay.

Blog #72

Well. It's been an interesting day.
It's REALLY hot outside.
And I have to appeal absences.
Blah, blah, blah.

Lame, lame, lame.

Blog #71

Well. I have percussion practice again today.
I guess i'm trying out for snare. Maybe i'll make it.


I'm also trying to get my license this week. Maybe tomorrow.
I hope I get it.

Blog #70

Um.
Not really.
I haven't done too much in life that would be a possible regret, but even if i did, there's no point in regretting it because i can't change anything.

Blog #69

Um..
I don't have anything interesting to talk about today.
It's FINALLY Friday. This has been one of the longest weeks ever.

Blog #68

I have percussion practice today. I really don't want to stay, but I have to if I want to tryout. And i have to tryout if I want to be in band.
I guess I should probably show up.

Blog #67

So we had our concert last night.
The band directors had agreed on 2 songs per band. Too bad one of them didn't follow that agreement and ended up playing 4 very long songs. And plus there were awards for 8th, 9th, and 12th grades. We had to skip our jazz band part of the concert, and we still didn't finish until 10:00. That was the longest concert in the history of Coffee County concerts. Mr. Myers said he won't be doing that again. Which everyone agrees with.
I'm so excited for marching season. I love it so much more than concert season.
Tryouts are coming up soon. I'm positive i'll make it, so I wish the tryouts were tomorrow instead of like three more practices. If these kids will go home and practice, they would be able to do the tryouts tomorrow. We also have to march during our tryouts this year, also. That should be interesting.

Blog #66

I would tell the restaurants to lower their prices. Or even raise their portion sizes.
Another piece of advice would be to consider their location.

Blog #65

My weekend was pretty boring. I didn't do anything.
Um.. I just hung out around the house on Friday.
On Saturday, I went to the bowling alley and then went to spend the night at my grandma's with my cousin. Where we swam until like 10 that night. Then we stayed up talking.
Sunday, we went swimming again and then went home.

No beach or game-day.

Blog #64

Well. It's finally thursday. I don't have any plans this weekend, except helping people learn bass drum music.
There's a lot of drama going on in my family. Even though i'm sad it's happening, i'm glad it's not with me or my parents or anything. Between the drama with my family and the drumline i'm pretty much sick of it.

Blog #63

My cousin is giving me a free electric guitar.
I have to wait to get it until graduation weekend, though.

Blog #62

I get my clothes from a lot of different places. I get most of my jeans from the mall (different stores) and I get most of my shirts from activities i've been to. Most of my favorite shirts are from bowling tournaments. I also wear a lot of Georgis Bulldog and trojan shirts.

Blog #61

So. Our possible drumline for next year has had quite a bit of drama the past couple of days. It's pretty much upperclassmen versus freshmen. In other words, the upperclassmen won. Haha.

Blog #60

That's a sad story. I believe that she should be able to have contact with her children.

Blog #59

Well. Tomorrow is finally Friday.
This week has been so slow.
We gave our presentation this morning. I think it went okay.
Jenny's really good at answering questions.
Good thing they didn't ask me anything.

Blog #58

I hate talking in front of people.

Blog #57

I haven't had that much to happen.

Blog #56

Well. I don't agree with people doing all this for Jimmy. I guess I agree with it, but all of this wasn't done for other students that have died during school, why do it now?
I also don't agree with people being all overdramatic about their death if you weren't that close with him. You have every right in the world to be sad, but being dramatic to get attention isn't right, and it isn't showing respect for that person.


On the other hand, my hair is getting chopped off today.

Blog #55

I don't have anything to do this weekend. I don't know if i'm going to Relay for Life tonight. I kinda want to. I'm not doing anything Saturday. Everyone else has plans. I wasn't invited. Like always. Nothing Sunday. Except getting ready to come back to CHS. For 5 more weeks.

Blog #54

We just had a festival in 3rd block. Meaning that we played for judges and got a rating.
I don't know how good we did, but I was almost late to class.
My hands are still shaking.
I always get nervous before a performance.
It's just one of my faults.

Blog #53

I never really think of stuff like that.
If it had to be one thing, it would be how quiet I am. Especially when it comes to sticking up for myself or someone else.

Blog #52

I have physical therapy today. I really don't want to go.
I'm pretty much tired of drama.
I'm ready for these next two years to be done so I can graduate from CHS and Douglas.
I'm ready to leave.

Blog #51

It pretty much turned out how I planned.
I went to the doctor. Nothing new.
I spent quite a bit of time outside.

Plus a little extra mud-bogging. It was really fun.

Blog #50

This computer is taking FOREVER to do anything.
Ugh.

Blog #49

I don't have any plans.
I have a doctor's appointment in Valdosta Tuesday.
I hope to spend a lot of time outside. We've been having some really nice weather lately.

Blog #48

Another free write.
Uh..
I have sharp pains going through my knee again. I have another doctor's appointment next Tuesday. I think i'll have to have surgery. Which probably means no marching. Which means that i'll have to play pit. I don't want to. I love marching.
Anyways. I don't have anything else going on.

Blog #47

First thing I think of is the eggs and bunnies. Which isn't what it should be, but it is.

Blog #46

Free write again.

My knee hurts pretty bad today.

I stayed at Grandma's this weekend.

I also stayed up until 4 in the morning talking with my cousin.

It was fun.

And pretty interesting.

Blog #45

I was out the other day.
When I was supposed to do this blog.
My knee was swollen and in pain.
I could barely walk.
Jenny's in the hospital.
She should be coming home any day now.

Blog #44

Yes, I have. And I think i dealt like everyone else would have if they were in that situation. You just have to accept that they won't be there anymore and realize that it's going to be hard to go on without them, but it's going to have to be done. And that there's no point in wasting your time dwelling on the death of them. You should just celebrate the life they had and your involvement in it.

Blog #43

Another free write.
I'm glad today is an early release day.
Jenny's not here.
Wonder where she is.


I found the drum set I want. I only need $500.
I'm collecting change. I've done it before.
I got $110 and bought my phone with it.
It's going to take me a really long time to get to $500, but that means i'll know for sure if that's what I want if it takes me that long to raise it.

Blog #42

Um.. I'm not scared of too much. Snakes are kinda creepy. I would probably be scared of something if I was to see it in person, but I can't say that i'm scared of it now.

Blog #41

Hm..
I don't really have anything to say.
I have physical therapy today.
This time I only have 2 exercises.
They are tiring, though.
I just REALLY hope I don't have to play pit next marching season.
I would rather march than stand on the sidelines, and I would rather play drums instead of mallets.
I'm just saying.

Blog #40

My 5 new goals.

• Make snare drum. (Same as before.)
• Get my knee fixed.
• Be recognized in the newspaper.
• Find a job.
• Get my license.

Blog #39

I'm glad it's the weekend.
Even though it doesn't feel like Friday.

I'm tired of drama.

Blog #38

Well.
I've gotten all A's.
I'm working really hard on learning drum set.
I still don't have all of the equipment I need.
I'm ready to get it all, though.

Blog #37

Went to the doctor yesterday. Turns out my kneecap slips to the outside of my leg, due to non-working muscles. I got a new brace and I have to go to physical therapy twice a week for three weeks. I then go back to the doctor. If it hasn't helped I need surgery.
I just want to get it fixed and be done with it.

Blog #36

My least favorite food would have to be sourkraut. I don't know how to spell it.

BLog #35

I go to the knee doctor Tuesday.
I'm kinda nervous.
I think i've already said this, but I said it again.
Mainly because I have nothing else going on.

Procrastination is putting something off out of laziness.
I am very much guilty of procrastination.

Blog #33

I've been sick.
It sucked.

Blog #32

Who is your favorite celebrity? I don't have a favorite, but one of my favorites is Anne Hathaway.

What is your greatest accomplishment? No idea.

If you were invisible, where would you go? A bowling tournament with Rhino Page, a percussion competition, and front row at a Mayday Parade concert.
How do you want to be remembered? An intelligent, caring, musical person.

I think the whale should be put to sleep, or released somewhere.
I don't think it should be kept at the park to do shows.
The whale has killed what? Three people? It's crazy.
They should put it to sleep.

Blog #30

My knee hurts today.
This sucks.
I wish that doctor would call back so we can make an appointment.

Blog #29

I would say that it would be okay if we could go one less day a week, but that would only give us the same amount of time we have now. I think it would be okay, though. I really would rather go to 4 days a week, but if we have to add time to the day to have three months it would be okay.


My question is that if the days are longer, and the Summer Vacation is longer, would we still have the same amount of breaks during the school year?
I go back and forth on that. Sometimes I would rather go all 180 days and get it over with, but some other times I like the breaks. It all depends on how the school year is going.



Something i'm not going to like is if we go back to the 7 classes per day, like middle school. I like the block schedule.
Well, I guess i'll have to rethink that if we add 40 minutes to the day.
I don't know. There's a lot of circumstances that decide whether I really want longer days, but in the long run, I think it'll be okay.

Blog #28

I have percussion practice today.
I need to go by the gym. I'm kind of nervous.
That lady scares me.
I have to get my knee brace and clothes out of my locker.
I couldn't care less about the clothes, but I really need the brace.
Maybe my new doctor will call back and make me an appointment.
Hopefully they will tell me what's wrong.
And maybe they'll give me a new brace since my other one is falling apart.

Blog #27

No, I'm not entering the contest. I don't have any talents.

Blog #26

I was out yesterday. My knee hurt too bad. I couldn't walk.
I got my schedule changed. Music Appreciation instead of p.e.

Blog #25

I have nothing to say.

Blog #24

Yes, I have been watching the Winter Olympics. Every chance I get.
I stayed up last night just to see Shaun White. And he got the gold. I was excited.
The Winter Olympics are better than the Summer Olympics. By far.
I never realized how dangerous Winter sports are until I started watching them with the Winter X Games.
I wish bowling was a Winter Sport.

I think i'll just start copying everything Ms. Gay says. =).

Blog #22

My weekend was super boring. I bowled Saturday. And I pretty much just sat around for the rest of the weekend. Other than Sunday, I spent all day at my Grandma's.
The snow was pretty. Especially to be in South Georgia and actually stick, but it still doesn't compare to Michigan during Christmas.

Blog #21

Annoying people annoy me.

Blog #20

Another free write. I don't understand this whole sticker thing. I don't agree with it. At all. I think that it will just make people with stickers think that they are better than people without stickers. I also think it defeats the purpose to ask someone for their stickers.
My grades are awful. An 81 in first block because I can't jump rope? Really? I have missing grades in second, third, and fourth block, so my grades in there aren't too good. I'm hoping that'll get better.
Apparently I have to go to yet another knee doctor. Maybe I should go to medical school so i can tell myself that there's nothing wrong with my leg. I think there's something wrong with it. Especially with it hurting so bad. First a doctor in Douglas, then Tifton, and now Valdosta. This has been an interesting injury. Funny thing is that I don't know how it happened. I just hope he doesn't tell me what I know he's going to. That I need to quit bowling and band. I hate having to tell doctors that i'm not going to listen to what they're telling me to do.
Everyone in band keeps talking about choosing a date. I don't know what they're talking about, but it sounds really important. I don't want to ask though and be the only person that doesn't know. I guess i'll just continue to listen and hope that someone actually mentions what they're talking about.
I think i'll stop talking now. Although I wrote like 4 paragraphs worth of stuff, I still consider my life to be super boring.

Blog #19

I don't have very many embarrassing moments, but my most embarrassing would have to be when I impersonated Alvin and the Chipmunks. Or maybe when I tried to break dance and almost broke my neck.

Blog #18

Back to my boring life. Let's see.. I got a new game this weekend. I was really cramped in the back seat of the van. You just have no idea. I had fun, though.

Blog #17

My plans..
Friday: School, then I don't know what.
Saturday: Bowling (Pepsi qualifying again) and then Valdosta with Jenny, Mom, Grandma, and Ryan.
Sunday: Superbowl.

Blog #16

I'm excited. I think this will be a good weekend.

Blog #15

I don't really have a favorite TV show or movie. Pretty much like the music.
Umm..
I like alot of MTV's shows.
I think i'll just say that.

Blog #14

Umm...
I don't have anything to talk about.
I can't believe it's February already.

Blog #13

I think the most expensive thing I bought with my own money would probably be my phone. If you can consider it my own money.

Blog #12

So. This was supposed to be Friday's blog, but I didn't have anything to write about then.
Today, I FINALLY got my band jacket. It has been "on its way" since like December.

Blog #11

I'm not sure who I would be if I had the chance to be anybody in the world.
I would probably be Zac Farro. Because he's a really good drummer.

Blog #10

I really don't have very much to write about. As you can see in the rest of the free writes.
This weekend is Pepsi Qualifying at bowling. Pepsi is a tournament that pretty much finds the best bowlers in the state. Two years ago I went to Pepsi and came in 4th in my division. I got a scholarship. I'm hoping to make it again this year. Let's hope I bowl my best this and next weekend.

Blog #9

Umm.
I don't have a favorite song, but one that I have been listening to a lot lately is Justin Timberlake's version of Hallelujah. It's not my normal kind of music, but I really like it.

Blog #8

I don't have very much going on.
I never have very much going on.
I'm pretty boring.

Blog #7

I don't have very many plans. I think tonight we're just going to hang out. Tomorrow morning I have bowling. Saturday afternoon we'll just hang out. And Sunday, I'll sleep.
No special plans.

Blog #6

I wish Douglas would get Buffalo Bill's Wild Wings. And maybe a Checkers.

Blog #5

Umm. Nothing very interesting is happening today, not like anything ever does. We have percussion practice tomorrow. I should probably try to get my traditional grip going again. My life isn't very interesting. I just go to school and go home.

Blog #4

We haven't done anything, really. We really do need to. I want to donate some money, but I haven't done it yet. I'm going to try to start doing something to help.

Blog #3

Today has been super long. I am pretty excited for this weekend, though. I get to go bowling tomorrow morning. Maybe i'll bowl that 300. And I have to practice parallel parking so I can get my license. I'm also supposed to receive my sister's Jeep this weekend. We might go to my Grandma's house this weekend. That always makes for an interesting day.

Blog #2

I like my classes so far. They are all pretty easy, at least they are so far. And we do a lab everyday in Biology. Those are always pretty interesting.

Blog #1

Goals:

• Receive all A's
• Learn to play drum set
• Bowl a 300
• Make snare drum for next year's marching season
• Be the best person I can be
