August 1-4

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.
