Monday was started at 6 AM. I was the first one up, I got the paper, and left for band all before 7 AM.
At band, all we did was basic review, go over warmups, and practice the audition drill. To be honest, it was VERY boring as aJunior compared to being a Sophomore. Lunch was nice because the family went to Spring Creek. It was also nice when practice ended early for the last block.
Tuesday was a bit better. We did a bit more complicated marching and music, but it was still boring. Paul came over for lunch, were we swam and split 45 chicken nuggets from McDonalds. We also learned spirit show music.
Wednesday was audition day. I did really well, so I'm not too worried about getting a spot. Because of auditions, I got home at 9:40. I just chilled at home and played games. At the music block, we worked on spirit show and part 1 again. Finally, at the evening block, we couldn't get on the field, so we watched an animation of Part 1. The show looks legit, yet extremely difficult. Then we spent a good deal of the time learning how to read a drill chart.
To top it off, we did....more music!!!!! YAY!!1not really.
Thursday. we were at Pennington! we got drill to the spirit show, and then spent the entire time learning the spirit show. we got done at 10:15, then Blake and I swam at my house before going to Twin Peaks for Matt Wells' birthday. There were a ton of funny stories shared and a good t ime had. at the music block, I dodged warmups by taking forever to get my uniform. My strategies included taking awhile to put on my uniform, catching people with Nick Soto, and just not getting in line. at the end of the music block, we learned a new tune, and a new variation on the fight song. At the end of the day, we pracitced our quick turns, ie, the turns without stopping. And that took up the entire block.

Juky 30-31
Well, Saturday was a very easy day. I didn't have to work, which was nice. But on the other hand, a lot of the day was spent cleaning the house in preparation for dad's homecoming. I also spent part of the day preparing for band camp, which starts Monday.
Sunday was a bit more cleaning in the morning, then going and getting dad from the airport. At the airport, dad was wearing an Indian shirt, and was really excited to drink a coke. I had a good time listening to his stories. At home, we hooked up the iPad to the big TV and looked at pictures. Dad had also got souvenirs for each of us. I received a hand carved dolphin with another dolphin inside (All made of wood).
Afterwards, I had work at Central, which is always fun. At Central, I finished reading Brisingr. I then advanced a bit in Pokemon Emerald. Work was very easy, what with only having 90 minutes on stand. I swam a bit in the pool, had fun with tubes, and got better at a ganer flip (running forward and doing a back flip instead of a front flip).
I topped the day off with spending time with dad. Also, went to bed early for band on Monday.

July 27-29
Wednesday was a very fun day. I woke up around 9 and went to 6 flags. Finally muscled up the courage to ride the Titan. That was a blast, I will now try to ride that every time I go. Though I won't do the New Texas Giant for a while, mostly because it's wooden, and it looks really unsafe. Then I came home around 3, and just chilled until the Rangers game. It was dollar hot dog night at the game, so I had 4 hot dogs. A foul ball came within 15 feet of me. Only bad thing was that the Rangers lost. Otherwise it was a great day.
Thursday was just Karen Dillard's. I had math 7 in the morning, then I took a practice test in the afternoon. That was about it, so it wasn't that much fun.
Finally it's Friday! I woke up early for Karen Dillard's again, this time for verbal 7. This class wasn't that bad, because I was with a group of Bell kids. We joked around and had good time. Afterwards, I rushed home to go to work, and got to start on break, before tot. I finally got to do tot for an entire rotation. Then i did lily for an entire rotation again. Then topped it off with 2 tot's and wading.

July 25 & 26
Monday was just another normal summer Monday. Sectional in the morning, and inevitably followed by work at Splash at the afternoon. Work was really easy with no saves for the park. I went through the tot rotation 3 times, and the slide rotation once. That was really nice because I avoided my 2 least favorite stands.
Tuesday was even easier, what with sleeping in until 10:15 and not really doing anything exerting. All I really did was cut my hair, swam in my own pool, and watch Harry Potter 6.
Sorry it's so short, but not a lot happened.

July 19-24...AKA Colorado
Well, the last few days, I have been away from most of the common technology at home, because I have been in the mountains of Colorado. So this post will encompass more than 2 days.
I spent Monday working at Central, which is very fun and easy; what with an hour break to watch movies all day long, and no more than 40 people total. Then Tuesday was spent driving up to Colorado. I spent that day reading, sleeping, or driving.
Then Brian, my Mom, and I spend Wednesday getting acquainted with Lake City, shooting the BB gun, and trying, without success, to climb a multi-hundred foot hill. All of this while eating the food Granny makes, which is always an adventure because she never uses a recipe for anything, and usually just makes it up as she goes.
On Thursday, I rented a bike for the day and rode around town. I learned that even if the area looks flat, if you're in the mountains, there are ALWAYS uphills. For lunch, I had the weirdest cheeseburger I have ever had, because it had white American cheese, a weird tasting meat, and it was chopped beef, and not a patty. I happily traded it for a few slices of pizza. And then I went horse-back riding for 2 hours. I will probably never go horse-back ridding because it hurts really bad. All you do is bounce up and down on a hard leather pad, scrape your knees against the saddle, hold your legs weird, and are just generally uncomfortable. That was the last active thing I did Thursday.
On Friday, all 5 of us went ATV-ing for the day. We rented 4 ATV's, but one broke earlier so we only got 3. The rest of the day was spent riding with Brian, because he was most fun/fast/adventurous/best, or driving with a parent passenger. We got lost once, drove illegally on a highway, and granny had a crazy attack. Granny's crazy attack was at a pass, roughly 12,500 feet up, we stopped to a) admire the few and take pictures an to b) let a jeep convoy through because there wasn't enough room on the road. Brian, and I had moved to the base of a hill to give the jeeps more room, mom was stuck away from the base, and Grandad and granny were moving to Brian and me. Granny went crazy and thought Grandad was going to drive over the edge, so she jumps off, and refuses to move (even to walk out of the way to let the jeeps pass because she was so scared of the edge), thus making it impossible for the rest of the jeeps to pass. So next, she decides to walk down the trail, insisting that it's too dangerous to get on in the mostly flat pass and safer on the steep trail.
When we got back, everybody felt to tired to do anything else, and to do anything else on Saturday as well, so we cancel our kayak trip and head home Saturday morning. Mom drove all 13 hours, and we got home around 12:15.

My First Try
Well, here i am doing a blog/journal (or blognal for short). I'm not in this for money or publicity, but just as a way to record my life, and also to see how weird it is. Well, here goes!(?)
This post will only be about today because i just created this blognal and today was very eventful. So now, finally, without further ado, I give you... my first entry.
Today started early because i had to go to a mandatory in-service for my lifeguard job at Splash. i got up earlier than my mother (at 8:15 to boot) and got the papers. I had my normal bowl of Reese's Puffs while reading the Sunday comics. I then went to the in service were the fun began.
At in-service, we started with a 100 meter freestyle swim, then a 100 meter breaststroke swim. that part was tiring, but i managed okay. Next, we started doing shallow water back-boarding. I wasn't in the first few groups, so i was standing out of the pool watching. Next thing I know, i start to feel dizzy and my visions starts to blur. i tell people that i can't see, while i lean against a rail. Then I come to on the concrete with everybody around me. So what do I do? How do I react? I crack a joke, naturally.
Toni, a manager, takes me inside the guard room, after I've had a bit to drink of course. I cool off and hydrate for a bit, then go back out to (try) to complete the in-service. I had been told to keep management updated on how I feel, and that it's okay to make up the in-service at a later date. After about half an hour, I wasn't feeling much better, so they had me call in a ride.
Later in he day, the volcano called Kerry erupted all over the city of Brian, and a bit on the town of Wiley. Mom finally decided to try to straighten out Brian, and decimated electronic usage for all. I learned a lot about my brother and his activities that really surprised me. then the rest of the day was spent getting my summer reading books, finally, and finishing housework.
And to top it off, i set up a blognal, and made this post. And please ignore spelling, grammar, and bad storytelling, because I'm new at this. Thanks.
