just stuff
Hey I finally had a chance to post and comment! Band camp has been exhausting so far! This morning we marched backwards while twirling the flag and I hit my knee. It really hurt and now I have two bruises (I did that twice...oops) But I'm sure it looked funny because the girl next to me did the same thing and were both mouthing ow ow ow ow with the beat since we couldn't talk. But other than the occasional minor injury band camp has actually been fun! There aren't instructors yelling at you or blowing a whistle in your ear all the time like in middle school. In high school the guard teaches each other. We practice/learn with the help of our instructor (Drew) but then when new people come it's the Senior's and Junior's job to teach them. And we have all gotten along really well so far. Also unlike middle school where everyone was very cliquey or however you want to say it. But I feel proud of myself because I finally have one of the three routines memorised to the point where I can pretty much do it on my own. The other two still need serious work. (I came later than half the guard since I was in California and had to be taught all three routines in one day) The one that I did learn is with the swing flags which are my favorite so far but I'm bias since that's only one I know.

But anyway enough about band! How has everyone else been so far this summer? I'm sorry if I didn't reply to your pms because I think I erased most of them by accident. And thanks for your concern about the plane ride. I was slightly ambarassed because during the movie they played my mother kept laughing really loud and I think she actually woke up the guy behind us once. But other than that it was fine. (Even though my ipod went dead within five minutes...grrrrrr) I read a lot and thought about the chocoate that I forgot to put in my carry on. It was rather uneventful.

OOHHHHH! I almost forgot? Did anyone read the new Harry Potter book? I finished it last night and I absolutely loved the ending. I won't say any more because I don't want to ruin it for others. But tell me if you like it so far!!! My mom told me she read a review that said it was J.K. Rowling's masterpiece and I completely agree!

ok well I'm off to get ready for band...yet again. I'm not sure when I will be on again so have a good time until then!
