Hola

Woo! I'm a freshmen now!!! So much is going on!!! Band, home, school, and bed have basically been my life at the moment.

As Logan has said, this saturday we got 2nd place in our division and then the week before we got 3rd in our division and would have gotten into finals but we got rained out. Sad day. But it has been so much fun!!! Saturday was my first good competition and it was amazing to see all the bands show off their stuff.I'm so happy that I've decided to do band.

Since I chose to do band, I gave up volleyball, sadly. I went to the first two days of try outs and then walked in the third day, thought "No, I can't be here." And walked out. It was hard, let me tell you that. But I'm glad I did it. I wouldn't have any time to do homework or anything though. But I also learned that my first game I felt a much better sense of accomplishment on marching than I do with volleyball. It truly is a team sport with no one left behind. I like it so much better.

Let's see...... school. In the same order as listed as I do at school, I do band, biology, honors english, algebra, gym, spanish, and finally, history. I don't really have a favorite subject because they are all just so fun!!!!....... Yeah not really. Haha. But none of the classes are really giving me a hard time anyway. So It's alright. But I also did make the yearbook committee for my school. So I'm excited to do that too. :)

I'm not sure if everyone has heard yet, but I'm so excited for this saturday because I'm getting my patriarchal blessing then!!! I'm so excited!!! It was my goal to get my blessing before my freshmen year or before I was 14, but this is pretty close. As the day comes closer, I'm getting more and more excited but also, more and more nervous!!! But it will help so much.

Well, I must go. Talk to all of you later!!!!! Bye

I've done some stuff....

Well I just went to Homecoming, and wow was that fun!!! I went with a freshman. The theme was shaking it with the 50s. I asked her in an awesome way. I decorated her lcker with black and white balloons, streamers, flowers, and confetti. (her dress is black and white. color cooridination is how i work ^_^) She was sooo excited. After the dance, I took Hannah to Steak and Shake. We each ended up going home at around 1 am.

I made it into another play. This one is called David and Lisa. Unlike the musical I was in, this is a play and I actually have a speaking part. I play the part of Simon, who is a depressed nerdy kid who has no friends. lol. The play goes November 4-7. I'll tell you guys how it goes.

School is doing okay. The only class that stinks is Chemistry 1. The teacher doesnt like to explain what she's teaching very well. So most everyone is on their own when it comes to homework. However, my mom made a bet with me that if i got an A on this next test, that she would get me my drivers permit. So 2 days ago i took the test.... and got a 95%!!! This Friday I'm taking the test and hopefully getting my permit!!

Marching band this year is going great! I'm playing first part in our show, Chronometry. The movements are called Grandfather Clock, Stopwatch, and Hourglass. The music and marching is definitely intense. Yesterday we went to Washington and got 2nd in our division!! Loads of fun! District band is coming up in about 2 weeks or so. This time I'm actually practicing, so the plan is to make the all state band this year!

Piano is going great. I don't have all the time I'd like to practice, but I'm still progressing. I volunteer every now and then playing at a seniors home. They totally love me. It's great to do something fun with my talent.

Well, I'll let you know if something else comes up! Life is great and I'll try and keep you guys updated. Have fun and talk to ya later!
