Drumline Auditions?

I was gonna blog about this 2 days ago, but I got uber lazy..
Well, here comes the descriptive part of Wednesday.

I walk into the band room, totally forgot about having auditions that day. Chatted, played around with the drums and stuff, took forever finding matching drumsticks.. Cruz and Ray went to the back practice and started doing the auditions. One by one, they called people in. Everytime someone came out, I tried to read their facial expressions. I still didn't know what I wanted to try out for. cept either Bass or Snare. Though I secretly wanted snare. haha. Never laid hands on a drum before..

My name got called, so I went in, was a bit nervous. But then Cruz and Ray started being themselfs so it was fine after. They told me to read the whole first page, and Ray gave me a very retarded beat. ( retarded meaning slow XD ) and I started off going really slow. Then I didnt like it, so I speeded up hella fast and went through the first 3 without mistakes. Then number 4 came and i stumbled on the rests. Gosh I hate rests. And continued on til I was done.

Picked up the bass. Put it on me. Kinda tilted forward. Its not as heavy as the sousaphone is, so I was fine. Read the Bass music. It was alright. Easy.

Then they asked me what I was going for. I said I didn't know and didn't really mind. Just not the pit. So I was trying for the marching part.

Next day, I walked into 1st period and Jay told me the list was up. So he looked for me and was like, You got snare..and im like wat? haha i thought he was kidding. Then I looked and yeup, third snare. wat the heck? hah yay.

Messed up poorly today at practice. Gotta get used to holding sticks right...

got the sniffles..

I just woke up from a nap. Im nervous about my report card coming. haha... even though I already know my grades. Not so good. I failed my geometry finals. and practically every other final there was cept P.E. Im working on it, I hate knowing that Im dissappointing people around me. Actually I hope Im not doing that.. but im disappointing my parents and most of all, Im disappointing myself. I dont like that. I know Im capable of doing better, and thats what Im gonna do.

Change is good. I should change my habits. Dont want to say my habits are bad or anything, but they do kinda suck. Midnight cravings...yea thats one thats gotta go.

Im so tired all the time. I cant concentrate or think straight. It makes me crabby. And lately, a lot of stuff has been going on. At times, I dont know how to deal with it cause when I do, It backfires on me. Its like Karma all over again.

Its also New Years. well uh 9 days over.. Someone asked me what my new year's resolution is for 2011. I thought about it, and well I didnt really know. Of course I had those mini resolutions like save money, or get better grades. But then i realized that all my resolutions has been the same for years. But I think all I want is for people around me to be happy, to know that Im trying my hardest at my worst, and to those close friends that are constantly worried for me, I hope they know that I'll be fine sooner or later. Fixing up my problems alone is hard, but it makes me 10x's stronger. I need that motivation to keep my going.

Im so thankful for the friends I made in the past, and most of all, the huge chunk of friends Ive made recently. They just make me smile :) and I love each and every one of their stupid, idiotic, dumbass selfs :D

Just realized how cheesy i sounded there ^...Oh well. I like cheesy things.

I can swim (kinda, but better than before) now!!!!

Iron Chef with Randy, Rob, and Cruz. We're so gonna win it!

Happy New Year. Hello 2011!

Havent blogged in awhile. 

On thursday, I hungout with Rawan, Jay, and Eleanor :) I love them. haha had lotsa fun. Watched Little Fockers, Shopped, Photobooth thingy, hurricane thingy, Hooters! Probably had the most fun there. 

Friday, New Years Eve, I had to work, but after work i attended the wedding. Pretty damn boring. But the live Jazz band was so good. I was sitting next to their table too! (cause is sat at the worker tables) Got froyo in the middle of it, When the countdown came, The guy did it 2 minutes before everything. LOL i was about to run up there and scream at him, BUT i didnt want to ruin the fun, so i had my own little countdown. Got home at 2:30-3 ish in the morning. Was so exhausted.

Today, Im at this family party. Um not what I expected. Being around old people and little kids. ugh i hate kids.. no offense.

the cake was so good tho...

My new years resolution is to get better grades starting this next semester. Too much slacking... Gonna start doing better early while im still a freshmen. haha. Nothing special went on. Pretty boring..bye!
