7 Hour Dillusionment

Summing up today, I have been in a moving vehicle for a total of nearly 9 hours! DEAR GOD. We left the MD Holiday Express around 9:30AM. I realized that the schedule got pushed back when we were still in Maryland at like 1:30. We took a couple bus stops due to uncontrollable bladders. Jaelynn was one of the worse ones, and if you're reading this, I do apologize! :D and If I know you pretty well right now, you just said "Fuck you, you stupid bitch!" XD Mhm..she had to pee really bad, and I wasn't making the situation any better. I was being serious when I told her to go in a plastic bag, but she refused! haha It was very ridiculous- typically the bus ride is about 4 hours to get back. We were supposed to attend the Columbia HS football game, but the problem was that we couldn't find the stadium. We passed the hs like three times, but still didn't find the game. We wasted so much time going in circles. I eventually began to feel dillusional and sang loudly to the radio. Jaelynn was upset towards the end, because she was supposed to leave as soon as we got to the game at 2:30PM [SUPPOSEDLY] By 5:30PM, she had to be ready and dressed for Pria's Sweet 16. We didn't find the game so we left back to BHS and arrived at 4:30PM -about. I went to the mall tonight with my brother, and tried to somewhat meet up with you! :D As much as I yearned for possibly a single kiss, publicity did not allow it. boooooo haha

Once In A Lifetime

Goodness. Where do I start?! To wake up this morning, the first thing coming into mind is "Holy crap, I'm competing at Nationals today." I didn't feel too nervous that morning, until half way through the bus ride. A few hours away, I began to think about it: this stadium is huge! The audience will probably be packed! The butterflies in my stomach twitched. Pulling into the parking lot of the Naval Stadium, I found myself saying "I don't want to perform guys, can we just not?" I know how much of a lie it is; I was more excited than scared. This was a chance in a lifetime to perform at Nationals, and whether we did good or bad, I was completely grateful! Warm-up was freezing, but I tried to ignore that fact. Deep breaths were taken in hopes of taming my excitement and lungs. One of the most thrilling parts other than the performance was standing at the gate, with the field in clear view. I was ready to march on with my chin up high, ready to dominate. As we heard the last band's last note followed by massive applause, my heart nearly skipped a beat. I gathered up my equiptment and gave out my last best wishes to the band. Setting up on the field, I stayed joyful and frolicked across with Jaelynn. haha Standing at opening set, at attention, I was sucking in air and blowing it out as much as possible. My heart was beating 3x faster than usual. Not gonna lie, I glanced at the jumbo tron a couple times. That screen is amazingly huge. It was funny seeing familiar faces up there! Despite a few imperfections with tossing and whatnot, that was the best I have ever felt, coming off the field this entire season! The tempos were decent, performance was amazing, and I was proud to march Belleville. By awards, we were cheering our lungs out, proud to be who we are. We placed 16th of 21. The number sounds bad, but we beat most 2A bands, including 2 open bands. Our score went up and I also found out that our guard came 7th in the Nation. Hearing that, nothing else mattered :) A once in a lifetime chance..used to its best extent.

Nah-shuh-nahlls, baby!

So I really can't believe that I got through today's rehearsal. 9AM-5PM is a pretty long time period! It's such a good feeling to know that your whole band is in a good spot for Nationals tomorrow. :D I want to dominate, and simply do the best we can give to an entire stadium. I think something that pulled me through today was the lovely hour 45 minutes from 12PM-12:45PM of being with you for lunch. Going to 7-11 for lunch is something I have never done, so you're my first. LOL. This is great haha. You're slurpee still looked like poop, btw. The taquito on the other hand, not so bad.. my domo cup was pretty amazing, if I may add :D

In Centuries

Today felt like the last day that I was going to see you in centuries. I really wanted to spend as much time as possible with you since I won't be coming back from Nationals on Saturday. I may be exaggerating with the whole "century" thing, but its okay. :D I was late to sectionals today, getting caught up in time with you. I can't say that I regret doing so; I rather would have stayed in the staircase with you.

So I can't really say anything eventful happened tonight because the event fell asleep. When I came home from practice, I texted him and laid down to relax and wait for a reply. About an hour later, curious, I texted him again to figure out where he was. Within intervals of maybe 45 minutes, I closed my eyes, napped, woke up, checked my phone to check for a reply, and closed my eyes again. I think that possibly around 9, I finally fell asleep for the night. I can't get mad about it at all either because I did the exact same thing a few days prior. haha.

Roast Her On A Stick

Oh, Jesus Christo. Coming from yesterday's 6PM pass out, I woke up this morning at 6AM. Hrmm..but I didn't necessarily get up until 7:30AM :D haha. Unfortunately, this whole day was practice from 9AM-3PM. The morning kind of dragged through, and by the end of the morning me Jaelynn were shoving dirt in out sticks [boy, does that sound wrong], giving Cammy piggy back rides, and roasting her on a stick. Lunch wasn't any better because mine sucked. I had two 2-day old donuts, couple Fiber One bars [the flavor i dislike, mind you], and water. That wasn't fun. After lunch, things went by a little better and all was well. By dismissal, we were in the front of the hs playing jumprope with a long roll of wire. ghetto.

REGARDING LAST NIGHT

SO I PASSED OUT AT 6PM. IM SORRY. >.> It was kind of like school, hang out with Jacob, practice, home, eat, sleep, make Jacob worry. IM SORRY. lmfao

1 Hour Of Rest

Sunday..the day we cram everything that is due on Monday. Today was full on typing for me, but at the same time I worked at a terribly slow pace. Tomorrow, I have a lot of things due: a 3-4 page research paper, a chemistry project, US History essay questions, and some other stuff. After church and lunch, I came home and worked on what I could. Research papers will be the death of me, I swear. I began typing it up at 5:00PM. By 6:00PM I was at one paragraph; by 7:00PM, two. Basically I was at a pace of one paragraph per hour! I'm such a failure when it comes to progress. On the other hand, procrastination is my specialty! I didn't go to sleep until 6AM, when I only rested for an hour until 7AM. I really can't believe you stayed up with me! I told you that it was not necessary, but you still insisted anyways! The fast that you stayed with me until I laid down and closed my eyes at 6AM made me love you even more! :D
