Its only one day until Christmas!!...yea!

Tonight we get to open presents...its a tradition since my grandparents used to live far away but now they live closer. My parents decided to go ahead and keep the tradition going by letting us unwrap presents which is way cool to me...being a kid and all. Today we went to Panda Express and oh man...did it smell good or what. Me and my mom were frothing on the way home. Another tradition of ours is to eat chinese food on Christmas night. We would used to go to August Moon but a few years ago they changed and only started making like two different trays...which we weren't to fond of. So we decided to go to the new Panda Express near our house and save it until tomorrow night.

What are your traditions???

Hmmmmm..lets see..this has been a good week so far. My lil sis had gone to gymnastics camp on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. So me and mom finished Christmas shopping for Meredith and Marc. On Tuesday I went and saw Xmas with the kranks and then yesterday I went and saw meet the fockers...which was hillarious. Today I've stayed home and wrapped presents etc.....also it snowed so my mom doesnt like to go out when it snows and everything. Nothing really fun happening today besides the fact that tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

Have to go and practice horn and do whatever else needs to be done.

I've officially been sorted........

Congratulations on making Gryffindor!
Basically, you're brave, daring, chivalrous, and pretty much.. an all around good person. Of course, some see you as a goodie-two-shoes. But hey, it's true! You're really good at winning, and normally always come out as the hero. Everybody likes you.. except, maybe, the Slytherins. You're too perfect. No, really.. You're too perfect. It's annoying to watch you win, repeatedly. Oh well. Be proud anyway.


Gryffindors to Remember:
Harry Potter
Ron Weasley
The whole Weasley family
Hermione Granger
Albus Dumbledore

WAHOO!!!!!....I'm officially out for winter break! Got out at 12:30 yesterday. School was a major waste though, we had to watch movies in every single class except health where we sort of presented projects that we had been working on. I don't see why we had to go to school because there was nothing to do. I thought school was for learning not movies. Oh well, I would have much rather watched movies all day then having assignments and possible homeowork.

Today was boring to beacause I have done nothing but sit and watch t.v. or sleep..which realyl isn't all that bad I guess. LOL. I hope tomorrow is better...hopefully we get to go somewhere. I think me and my dad are gonna go somewhere maybe tonight I hope. We usually go somewhere at night if we havn't gone anywhere the whole day.

Here's a shoutout to my grandparents. One is sick with the flu in the hospital...and the other is on her way to getting sick. :( I hope y'all get better in time for christmas! I'm praying for you and don't let them give you bad "service" at the hospital. ;)

Well gonna see if me and dad are gonna do anything tonight.

Had my first winter band concert in the mustang band last night. We played a fanfare to Joy to The World, A Little French Suite, and Celebrate Christmas. It was o.k...we didn't do our best like normal but nobody could really tell. Our band director though is a very intresting person. He becomes very animated at a concert. Almost everyone had the smiling playing face (you can barely play beacuse your laughing). But other than that it was all good.

Man.....I had this hard as hell Biology test today. I don't think I did so hot on it. It was like really hard because the things she said to study were hardly on the test. Also the weird thing was that I actually studied for this test and went in there expecting to do well and not just make an 80. The good thing about science for me that me and my friends have figured out is that if you make a lower grade than your average then it raises your grade up and yet if you make higher it brings it down. It's kinda weird huh. Otherwise my day was o.k...had a math and geography test today which were really easy.

Tomorro we get out at 12:30 and then on friday we get out at the same time but there's a varitey show that me and my friends are plannin to go to...otherwise we would be stuck in 5th for almost 2 hours. I like my teacher but not enough to see her for 2 hours.

Today was an intresting day for a friday at Sachse High School. It's a week until winter break and instead of having a lot of tests and quizes (the norm on fridays) I pretty much either played a game or watched movies 90% of the day. In first period, band, well that's almost self explanitory. For all you non-band people, the band hardly ever gets a break. The only time we get a break is if our concert is over and/or its the last day of term or something like that. Then I went off to Geography and took notes almost all period but my teacher is cool so she spreads them out and lets us talk for a while inbetween slides. Then I walked to math where we got to play Jepardy and my team came in second place. That was fun...we got a pencil and two pieces of candy for coming in second. The bell rang, it was time to go to health.....the class that if anything would go wrong it would be that. So we walk in and he turns on a sexual reproductive system. It was very gross...but not as gross as I heard it was gonna be by some people in math. We get over that and have almost an hour left to just sit and talk in class. After what seemed ages we went to lunch and then to 5th period-Biology. There was a game going on with our varsity team against some really good school. It was to help support a scholarship fund for a football player who was injured and paralyzed. My friend Staci and I decided not to go to the game because we had a lab that we needed to finish because we've done hardly anything on it. So anyways our teacher didn't let us work on the lab...instead we had to watch the most boring movies ever seen that were supposdley gonna be really funny and good. After what seemed to be 15 years the bell rang and we were let go and my day was a lot better.

All I have to say right now is T.G.I.F.!!!!~

I forgot to post that my grandfather died on December 3, 2004. I wish he were still alive because he would always tell jokes and make me laugh. I haven't spoken to him for about 2 years because my dad and I had a fight and stuff went on in my life so I stopped going to his house and such including talking (my parents are divorced). So anyways my grandpa's memorial service was on Tuesday. I knew my father and all his family would be there that I honestly cannot stand. But I loved my grandfather and decided to stick it out and meet my past because it was going to happen at some time in my life. So we get to the church and take our seats...I choose not to be a part of the family. The service was very nice and I almost started to cry alittle. Then when it was over and the family was leaving my grandmother who I love to death came out of the crowd to give me a hug. My cover was blown. Then like some of the family started to ask if I remembered them and such. So we go to reception and I great my granny and tell her I love her. Then my mom walked away for a split second to go and say something to someone and like a herd of cattle, everyone was all over me. Asking for hugs and stuff like that. My dad totally avoided me until everyone else was over where I was and had to come and say hi for the first time in almost 3 years. After that he like walked off....it pisses me off. All he could say was hi thats it. I see how much I'm worth in his book. Then Janet's (stepmom) askes my mom for a hug and Sarah, a cousin, asks me to walk with her. So she leads me into the hall and says your dad loves you, you know that right. I'm like ya, sure. Then she said I should give him a call sometime like what happened was my fault. I was about to explode on her and tell what was up/the truth not a lie that she probably got. Just in time my mom saved me by saying I had winterguard. Thankyou mom!

So ya, that was what it was like. I never knew a funeral could make me so mad.....I thought I was supposed to be sad, not mad.

I just go back from winterguard a little while ago bout 7:30ish. We got to leave early this week but next week we have to stay till 8. So from 5 to 6:30 we worked on the normal basics and learned new basic stuff like pull hit doubles and windmills then a double.

Also I got to check in my mellophone FINALLY today. It took forever because we were supposed to check them last week but my buddies and my horns had black stuff on the slides so we had to take them home over the weekend. So I do that Sunday afternoon and everything is all good until my weird and freaky band director tells me that it doesn't have the sparkle and shine that it needs to have to sit in a case for the rest of the school year. Anyways I don't complain and take it home and polish it very nicely and then bring it back. It stayed in my cubby until this afternoon. The good thing though is that its turned in.

Today I got to see my ranking in my class; 69 out of 682 which isn't to bad I guess...top ten percent but I have to work harder now to keep it up and to advance.

So nothing happened down here today besides the fact that the high was 70. I still can't believe that it hasn't gotten really cold this year. But hey, it was a nice and cooler marching band season so its all good. I just wish that it would get colder and not be Christmas and have 70 degree weather.

Last night was my first night of winterguard. It was a lot of fun but a lot of work. For those of you that don't know Winterguard is just like colorguard (the people who spin the flags around with the marching band) except that your on a HUGE tarp inside performing in a gym. So anyways our song for the show is God Put A Smile On Your Face by Coldplay. Also its fun with all the weird stuff we get to do. My legs were hurting this morning...I could barely move. I thought I was like an old person who had sat down for to long of a time and couldn't get up. So this year the Sachse B' Winterguard she be a lot of fun. And it's the closest thing I can get to marching band. ;)

Now its off to practice my Winterguard stuff and then play my French Horn.

Today was a good day I guess. Nothing went really bad or wrong so it was all good. The best thing was that I didn't sleep really well at all last night and I still wasn't dead tired today. Had a Biology quiz and thank the lord she gave us a review because I totally forgot to study.

This weekend was o.k....nothing really bug and excitnig happened. We started to decorate our Christmas tree on Friday and finished it on Saturday night so that was good. Then on Saturday my parents went to Toys R' Us and bought my lil sis a bike for Christmas from the big man in the jolly red suite. So anyways ya.

I have to go and eat supper then to scouts.

I made winterguard! I was the last person to get picked to be on B' but hey I'm happy just to be on it. What really made me mad though is that my like best friend Paul was like making fun of me saying..*laughing* you barely made it *laughing*. It made me sad and hurt my feelings because every time I beat him in a band competition or something I wouldn't say hardly anything but the one time he beats me its all in my face. Also he thinks he's a real bada** as of yesterday because he made rifle. Well he calmed down alittle when the word that supposdley I was going to be put on rifle. So now we're even as of right now. It just made me feel bad that after al he had lost and I won and I was nice about it he had to go and laugh in my face. Oh, well its over and we're both supposedly.

If you know anybody like that then you know my perspective.
