Fire Drill Friday

Gotta love fire drill Friday. Every single class gets shortened a little bit, and you get to walk out into the obscenely hot outdoors. Which are almost as bad as the classrooms. It was completely disgusting. I was soaked by the end of first period. So, the rest of the day I was : upset about band, hot, sweaty, smelly, and tired. Just like everyone else.

Yeah, band did not go well today. It was bad. In every aspect of the word. I don't know which was worse- not using Dr. Beat, or trying to use it. Either way, I got stuck trying to fix the band's mistakes every 5 seconds. And I don't like it when I have to stop conducting and then start again to keep the band together. That's just ridiculous. Plus, we've got our first competition tomorrow. So pretty much all the sectional leaders were upset after band. That's why we've got sectional scheduled from 12- 2 tomorrow (some are starting at 1). And for once, every single section is having a sectional. Except the drum majors. I'm running the clarinet sectional because Olivia needs to get some CAS hours done (I am so thankful I'm past that). And they will know their entrances in Natural Woman by the time I get through with them.

One class of note: In HOA, Hurd decided to give up on trying to teach us, so we watched some random video clips from last year (the videos from the 50s, Ike for President, They're taking taking the Hobbits....)

And in Spanish, Senora Tunison (who has had me for 2 years, this is the third) said that this was the most tired I've ever looked in her class before. Which was probably very true.

Afterschool Jenna hung out with me for a bit, then I helped my mom with some final uniform stuff. Always lots of fun in the uniform room. Especially when it reaks of smelly feet and body odor.

Then I took a quick shower, and went to my youth orchestra audition. I auditioned for Augusto and Dr. McBreardy, which somewhat suprising, since I though Scott Kelley was going to be there. The audition went well, and I'm in.

I then came home, ate some leftover stuffed shells from my birthday, finished watching West Side Story.

Now I'm just hanging out, enjoying the air conditioning. I'm going to watch the new episode of Pysch and completely dread the sectional and competition tomorrow.
