I love life :)

I'm in a (probably temporary) good mood. I think it has something to do with the fact that I overslept for almost an hour today. The being in a rush part wasn't so fun, but the extra hour of sleep was definitely worth it. If they would just start school ONE hour later, I'd be SO much happer, ALL the time. I'm definitely willing to go to school till 3 if we would start at 8:30 instead of 7:30.
Anyway, I got a break from the EXHAUSTION that I usually feel during the first half of the day, if not ALL day. And I got my homework done, and I practiced oboe for the first time in WAYYY too long. I looked at my All-State music that I should have looked at at least a month ago, seeing as All-State is in about a week, but didn't because of the play...apparently 11/8 and 13/8 are time signatures. Yeahhh... should've gotten on that. But again, I had NO free time.

Some people are really overachievers. Like, my friend Natalie. She's planning on taking FOUR, possibly FIVE, AP classes next year. I'll probably end up taking 2 or so. We were talking about it today in precalculus. She was like, "I don't know if I'm gonna take physics... I REALLY don't want to... do colleges want physics?" She's in AP chemistry right now, she's going to take AP biology next year, and she's wondering if colleges will want her to take physics?? And then she said something about honors physics, and I think I asked her if she was going to take it instead of regular physics, and she was like, "Well if I'm going to take physics it's going to be honors." And I'm like, "Whyyy??" And she's like, "That's a good question, I should probably think about that." And I'm like, "Yeahhh. You should." I didn't say that, though. And THEN, I was like, "What if one of the AP classes is during band?" And she's like, "That would suck..." And I'm thinking, "No. The correct answer is, 'Screw that class, band is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT!!'" I have this "Band Is First Priority" attitude that I'm sure pisses people off sometimes... anyway, I'm not sure if she meant that not taking the class would suck, or not being in band would suck, or making the decision would suck. But does she want to be MISERABLE? Because she WILL BE!! Personally, I don't want my senior year to be miserable.
Speaking of band, I found out recently that instead of voting for drum major, we're going to have to try out... I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm one of the few people that know, and I think a lot of people are going to be pissed when they find out. I've spent a good amount of time trying to analyze how likely it would be that I'd win, so it was kind of a shock when I found out. I'm not sure if this increases my chances of winning or not, because I'm not exactly sure what we have to do in our audition. He said something about conducting and giving commands, but that doesn't give me a very good idea. I'm not even 100% sure I WANT to be drum major, anyway. Well, I want to, but I'm not sure if I'd be good at it. I'm not very good at... commanding people, which is kind of essential. Haha. But maybe being drum major would make me better at it... I don't know.... okay, I'm going to stop rambling now.

I was going to write more, but I'm getting really tired... I better go to bed if I don't want to oversleep again tomorrow. Goodnight. :)
