   Still Tired.

Okay, I've now been in school for a full week, and I STILL can't wake up on time. In fact, I've partially given up, and am letting myself wake up a half hour later then normal. *sigh* I'm finally getting into the swing of my classes, although the presence of the upcoming Potato Bowl Parade is kind of shuffling everything around. Heck, I keep missing my Biology class for Band practice. Argh! That means two hours of marching and playing my French Horn. (MARCHING French Horn, that is! Mr. Morlock came through and took some from the Universith. *yay!* Let's just ignore that I have to duct tape my mouthpice in order for it to stay in...)

But back to the original topic! Being tired. I discovered that if I drink a lot of coffee before school, I have more energy, but I have to go to the bathroom halfway through second hour, which just so happens to be band. Let's stay away from the topic of band for a bit. As much as I love it, I don't love it THAT much. ^^

I have a symphony audition coming up soon-- I decided to go in for Viola again. Like I said: enough French Horn!

I got in touch with my friend who moved down to Omaha a few days ago, and we started talking about the garage band we started several years ago. We had to stop because he was our lead guitar, and our other one sucked at performing. Anywho, he said that he can go to three punk rock concerts for five bucks. *sobs* I'm so jealous. When I get down to Nebraska to visit him, we're going to go to concerts nightly. ^^ Heh, I can't wait.

And speaking of traveling, I'm considering going on the German Exchange program. I've always wanted to go to another country (Canada doesn't count, especially when I live three hours from the Border. I LOVE Canada, it just feels like an extention of my backyard. XI) My dad was inspired to take mom to their 25th anniversary celebration in England next year, and promised to take us kids on a vacation to Europe another time. *sigh* I guess that living in a small(ish) midwestern town DOESN'T have its perks.

On another note, I'm finally getting along with Cai's boyfreind. It took me a while to open up to him, but she now has my stamp of approval. ^^ *cheers for myself*

On the Forbidden topic again... (something I forgot to add)... the city's making a "mass band" for the football game's half-time, meaning that I get to memorize more songs and march for even longer. Only I have to make it look pretty because we're going to be making patterns. (I think we should get paid. *sob*

Anywho, that's all for now...

~CLAIR, the IMMORTAL!~

(I'm going to bed. >.<)
