A Combination of Things (9/30-10/15)
Whoah it’s definitely been a long time since I’ve updated this. So that’s what I’m doing. I’m going to skip the week of 9/30 since I partially forget what happened then, I’m starting with last weekend.Friday (10/12) - Rosie’s Once and Future King test. I wrote 4 full (sheets front and back) on only plot for question one, and just barely touched on style. Ordered chinese from China Sun before the game, but was given directions to China Moon for pickup. Luckily, Sun is across Hulmeville RD. The game vs. Pennsbury was pretty good, but boring at the same time.
Saturday (10/13) - Practice all afternoon, then loaded the buses. Was a good morning until I only got 10ish minutes to eat dinner (we weren’t allowed to eat at the show, so we all had to wait until about 10:00 to eat again) and realized that I lost my bracelet at practice. The show was okay, but we lost high drums again to Council Rock North. The drumline is big, but they aren’t clean at all, and the parts aren’t very hard either. We definitely should be beating them by now. The rating: another “Outstanding” (as if that matters to any of you, or to any members for that matter). I destroyed another one of my sticks this week. Last Saturday (10/6), I broke the back end off while playing on the way back to the buses from the performance, and this time I broke the front end off while playing on the way to the performance. It was a spare stick both times, but still. They’re supposed to be very difficult sticks to break.
Sunday (10/14) - Did homework, applied to Penn State, worked on my essay for Drexel.
Monday (10/15) - School (sports day). Finished Rosie’s test, using seven full sheets of loose-leaf on the three questions we had to do. I also got Mrs. Smith’s letter of recommendation. Hopefully reviewing for the AP Calc retest later tonight. Congrats to Sean Kelly for winning a free homecoming t-shirt!
THE WEEK AHEAD (or what’s left of it) - 10/16-10/20
Tuesday - School (twin dress alike day), then practice 5-9. Hopefully getting Liv’s letter, and hopefully getting an A on the AP Calc retest.
Wednesday - School (wacky unnecessarily-layered clothes Wednesday), then tutoring 3-5ish. Should be at the spur-of-the-moment practice, but I committed to tutoring first.
Thursday - School (color [pink] day), pep-rally at 12:30ish. Possibly playing at the powder-puff game - not sure yet. At any rate, I’d highly enjoy actually seeing one of these, as I’ve always had to practice during it.
Friday - School (spirit [blue-gray day), staying through for the Homecoming Game (vs. Abington). Playing pre-game, I believe.
Saturday - Competition at Abington. Actually getting a numeric score this time, because it’s a different circuit. I’ll probably be disappointed because of the score.
