[4:15pm] Do you know how tired I am? I am very tired. I got a little bit of heat exhaustion yesterday at practice. It must have been 90 degrees outside. It's cooler today because it rained, and it's 6 to 9 practice anyway. Actually, 6 - 7:20 practice and then we go back inside and change into our uniforms. Then at 7:50, we march on and perform our show 2 times. And then I don't know what happens.

[8:26pm] My teacher for my Marketing class is named Mr Simpson. The first thing he said to our class was "Welcome to Marketing. My name is Mr Simpson, and if anyone makes any Homer jokes, I'll write you up." Later in the class, he insisted that he was an INSTRUCTOR (not a teacher.) So Kris made both things into ONE joke: [Homer Simpson voice] "Mmmm.. INSTRUCTOR.. hrghherhhlllggghhh." ahahahah!

[9:56am] I posted this, too, but deleted it. So let me set it up for you. I'm in American History class and we're talking about the Middle Passage (when slaves came over on those big boats.) Now, living conditions (or dying conditions, really) on these boats were just sucky. They'd shove these ships full of slaves to the near-sinking point. And the captains would think the boat was going to sink because it was so heavy.
Mr Carranza: They'd take however many slaves they needed to lighten up the boat and chain them all together to a big rock and throw the rock overboard. And the slaves would go, too.
Me: Why not just throw the rocks overboard?

[8:59am] I posted this the other day but I was dumb and somehow deleted it. So, here's Bailey and I being stupid. Or rather, us being smart! And nerdy.
Becky: Tell me something in French.
Bailey: Bonjour, Je'm appelle Caroline, Et toi?
Becky: Je'm appelle Becky.. nice to meet you.
Bailey: Good job. I'm not that good...
Becky: Well, they're all pretty much Latin-based..
Bailey: Yeah...
Becky: And when you're a wordnerd like me, you start to see the similarities.
Bailey: Well, I'm not. ha
Becky: Like "to end" in Spanish.. that's terminar. (What a wordnerd.)
Bailey: I wish I would be..
Becky: Read the dictionary. Sometimes when I am superbored, I'll just open the dictionary (with my eyes closed) and point to a spot on a page.. and I'll learn a new word.
Bailey: Wow! I do that tooo!!! I learn a new word eveyday!
Becky: Oh my God, we're soulmates!
Bailey: Yeah we are!
Becky: We're wordnerd soulmates, that rocks!
Bailey: We are mom-home-in-half-hour, dishes, dictionary-loser twins!
Becky: ALL RIGHT!

[8:47am] Aaliyah died in a plane crash today. It's so strange, it doesn't even click. I just watched the MTV Diary on her the other day. She had these two friends that she always hung around with. And when I looked at the list of names of the seven people who died in that plane crash, one of the names was Eric Foreman. That was one of the friends. I think the other friend was the one who was flown to Florida for treatment, but it's just so weird.

[2:17pm] Okay, I posted some stuff yesterday, and I guess I deleted it or something, because now, it's gone. Arrgh.

[4:16pm] Well, I went outside and practiced my flag until 3:30, at which time it proceeded to thunder every two seconds, so I went inside. Then I talked to Joe for about two minutes, but he was worried about the storm wrecking his puter, so he got offline. And then there's the homework. It's not really homework. It's just me being a neatness jerk. I took notes today in American History during the lecture (without it up on the overhead!!) and they're very disorganized. So, in order for me to understand them, I need to rewrite them. But not right now. I'm relaxing.

[9:15pm] You darn people with your big mouths. Stop talking!
[5:30pm] My second day of school and what happens, but my teachers give me three subjects worth of homework. What the heck?! I'm tired already and it's time to leave for band. I'll be seeing ya.

[8:21am] School starts tomorrow. I'm going to relish today by.. SITTING AROUND ON MY BOOTY! Aw yeah.

[10:53am] Sorry about the lack of updates and stuff. Jeez. My writing for August has sucked. Lemme see 6 whole entries thus far, plus this one.. That's 7! Wow. I'm a math genius. Okay. News: I have my school supplies. I have to leave for band practice in an hour, and about 25 minutes ago, I made a bandana that looks like kitty ears. Sort of. It's the way the sides stick up dorkily. Ouch. I have this sore on the side of my mouth, and I've had it since last Friday (Aug 10.) It's not going away because whenever I smile, it splits. It hurts. Ow.

[12:41pm] I went shopping yesterday and got cool stuff. Pants from Abercrombie, along with a zip-up track jacket and a sweater from there too. From Delia's, I got plaid pants and a red polo shirt, a white polo just like the red one, and jeans with the waist frayed.

[4:41pm] I'm exhausted. I'm back from band camp and I've learned the show and I've lost 4% body fat in 5 days, but I've gained 3 lbs. Muscle. Aw yeah. I'll try and write out everything that happened at band camp soon. Or at least.. some of it. 12 days til school starts.

[10:57am] I'm all packed and ready for band camp. At least I think I'm all packed. So this week I'll try to keep relaxed and get enough sleep and practice hard and be nice to Dave M. I wonder if I'll be able to acheive any of those goals.

[9:27pm] Tomorrow I leave for band camp. I'll be back Friday afternoon, when I get my school pictures taken. Aight? Aight.
[10:39am] There's this kid, Dave M. He's a trumpet rookie and I am finding that I have less and less patience with this kid. Unfortunately, I have to try and be nice to him because no one else is. They all pretty much think it's okay to verbally abuse him. Sometimes, though, Dave brings it on himself. For example: Dave gets impatient with us when we aren't practicing at sectionals. Yesterday we were listening to the original versions of opener and production and he starts playing. He gets told to shut up, so he takes his stuff and walks out of the room. (We have sectionals in the boys dressing room.) Dave claims he's going to the bathroom, but really goes to the band room to practice. He didn't seem to understand that we were listening to the songs for him, so that he would know how the originals went. There are other things that I could whine about but I have decided not to. So I'm done with that.

[5:56am] I am very tired. And I just checked my email and Joe said that he wasn't mad at me. It was just purely coincedental that we hadn't been able to talk in a while. Okay. Now I go and take my shower.
