Five Unexpected life lessons from a class or hobby.
In my first year of Marching Band I learned five life lessons, sunblock, I sweat, sensitive eyes, don't be cocky, and I need to be more confident in life. The first being that my skin does actually burn after being in the sun for a long time. For years I would go out with out sunscreen because I did not burn that fast. But I learned from band camp that I will burn and my school pictures will look like crap. Another Life lesson I learned is that no matter what sport I do (yes marching band is a sport) I will want to bring a fresh pair of clothes and/or sandles because i apparently sweat a lot! In band you are not allowed to wear sandles, causing your feet to get sweaty and gross, not to mention all your clothes will be saturated in sweat by the end of the day. So Fresh clothes is good to have. A third life lesson I learned is that my eyes are sensitive and I need to bring sunglasses with me where ever I go. My eyes hurt after being in the bright sun, and sunglasses are their saviors. The fourth life lesson I learned is to not pretend you are too cool for something, when in reality, everyone is being a dork so you are the outcast and everyone will think you are one of those annoying cocky kids and hate you for the rest of the day. The fifth and final lesson I learned in Marching band camp is that you can not be shy! If you are shy and not willing to put your hardest into what you are doing, you will not only stand out, but you will continue to learn things the shy way, which is usually the wrong way because you do everything more slowely then everyone else because you are unsure of yourself.

Much better day
Today I must say, was a lot better, for one I feel better. Orchestra winds was a fail, but still a lot of fun. My friend brought me food which made me happy. But other than that, it was a pretty relax day.
Tomorrow should still be relaxed but I have horn lessons, hopefully that will be good. and then Friday we get to march in another parade which should be a lot of fun!
But until then, still,

I arrive early, but everyone is still there in a rush to get to the community center, because our teacher always says;
"To be early is to be on time, To be on time is to be late, and to be late is to be scared."
All 250+ stuffed in the basement, scrabbling to get their green and white uniforms on for marching band. Today is the day we march in the State fair parade on the hot humid Saturday afternoon. As fast as we are getting ready, we load onto the yellow school bus like cattle; even more crammed than we were in the basement, on the bus, we are off to the state fair. Two hours early we wait impaciently unable to sit in fear of the dirt turning out white uniforms brown. The hot sun beating down on us, turning our wool uniforms into saunas.
Finally we start to line up, early of course. We wait another 30 minutes. Adrenaline is pumping into our veins, we get anxious and exciited, some even scared because we know we are about to start.
And we are off! So many things going through our minds; Stay in step, address center, watch the drum majors, remember the music, watch out for poop, remember the chants, don't forget the moves, and BREATHE!
Before we know it, it's all over. We are all cheering and sweat dripping off our hair and necks. We stampeed the water stands with greedy thirst.
We are done, and now we get to enjoy the rest of the day at the state fair.
Two things:
Two things I have to say is 1. Wow I have 100 posts. and 2. I'm using this blog for homework again. So hopefully all you that are not reading this does not mind..

I'm a jerk, what can I say?
Maybe my true personality is actually being a Jerk.. because it feels like I just haven't been kind to anyone and have been getting angry real easy..
Hopefully it'll all change soon..
