Today we had our first sectional for three hours in the heat of the day. Oddly enough, though, I didn't start to get sick until toward the end of it (107 degrees, sunny parking lot, hot water on our water breaks, fast tempos for marching). We marched for 40 minutes and taught the two freshmen (the other girl didn't show up) the basics of front marching (I think we'll start back marching tomorrow). Jamie is a little absent minded, so I ended up having to keep butting in with things like, "Don't you think we should teach them how to stand at set (attention) before we teach them how to march?" And at one point, she had me personally coaching one of the freshmen while she took the other two. Then we went under the shady trees in front of the school to practice some music, but Jamie is a gossip, and she spent quite a lot of time warning the freshmen of who to avoid and stuff when school starts. So we didn't really get much music practice done (I eventually took over the music while Jamie walked to the parking lot to talk on her cell phone), but I soon decided that we go back to marching, and we did that for about 40 minutes until I felt sick and suggested we stop.
The freshmen are catching on quickly (Jamie moved things along faster than our director usually does starting out), and I got an idea of their playing abilities, and I think I know about how this year is going to be. I'm already getting a taste of how my senior year will be. . .
Oh, and Jamie can hardly get a sound on the piccolo, and the director said we might make a switch if she can't handle it, and it's a terrifying thought because I've never played piccolo before, and she can't even hardly play it, so. . .

Jamie was harder on us today, and I (being the non-althetic I am) had to sit out the last five minutes of the practice because my chest started hurting. I'm kind of glad I'm not marching tomorrow; my muscles are killing me.
Earlier I was thinking about what would happen at the guild if I ever died. How would you know? My family doesn't really know about this site too much, and they don't know my username or password or anything, and they wouldn't think to tell you guys about it. Therefore, if I ever disappear forever without any notice or anything, it's because I died, entered the Witness Protection Program, or ran away with Johnny Depp before he changed his mind about me.
However. . . I won't be on for at least a day or two, so just remember that I'm probably not dead; I'll just be dreaming about Johnny all day because of the sleeping medication. ;D

(Second entry for today, so if you're interested, read the first one before this one.) Oh, and I found out that the Spanish teacher I was going to have resigned and moved to the city. I'm kind of glad; she didn't really like me, even though she never was my teacher. . . I wish Mrs. W. hadn't moved to Alabama; she was my favorite teacher. She was sweet, intelligent, kind, and she knew how to teach, unlike most of the people at my school who have the gall to call themselves teachers. She was replaced by the middle school Spanish teacher, Mrs. B. (who hates EVERYONE), but she was pretty much ran out of the school by the students at the end of the year. . . I'm glad I didn't have to have her; I had her for seventh grade Spanish. . . She didn't like me. . . And I'm a kid most teachers like. . . So, therefore, Mrs. W., Mrs. B., and Mrs. A. are all gone, and I have no idea who will be teaching Spanish this year. I hope they can find someone moderately qualified, or my schedules going to change, which I don't want to happen.

We'd all hope it was the Johnny Depp possibility... Okay, I didn't really have anything to say, just wanted there to be some response to that death comment.

Don't worry - I'm too stubborn to die. It'll totally be the Johnny Depp one. ;D
By the way, who said the second quote in your sig? It's interesting.

That would be... me. It sums up a lot of the principles of what I believe.

Yesterday went pretty well, considering there was one freshman, and she had only been to one sectional before.
Today is a great day. ;D ;D

Jamie is finally starting to realize that she should probably take this thing seriously. . . I don't want to go to the yearly fundraiser thing (we go to a rehearsal tonight, and we play early tomorrow morning to kick it off). It gets us a lot of money for the band, but it's voluntary, and I've never wanted to give up more of my summer than I have to to do it. Oh, and if I go to the rehearsal tonight, I won't be able to talk to Gilly at all today, and he's leaving next week.

I'm so glad yesterday's over. I think today will be a better day. Though I am anticipating a yelling from Jamie Monday. . . But who cares?
