I return victorious!

So, I am back at school now.

It's so nice to be back in my crappy dorm room instead of in nice hotels and with host families. Haha.
Actually, I just care about INTERNET and NOT SPENDING HALF OF MY DAY IN A CAR.

But here, let me sum up the highlights of the past few days:

Heart Gold: I've just beat Team Rocket at the Goldenrod Radio Tower. I haven't been playing too much, really- Tackitt is much farther than I am. But my team is still higher-leveled. I find that amusing.

My team is Feraligatr (Nicknamed "Pan"), Dunsparce, Scizor, Espeon, Farfetch'd, Red Gyarados (HM Slave). Pretty badass.


Eastern Trombone Workshop: Well, it was pretty okay as a whole. I spent most of my time with Tackitt, playing Pokemon. xD
There were some amazing trombonists there, though. I am STILL in awe of some of them. It was great.

Our performance was a disaster, unfortunately. Basically everything that could have gone wrong did. Oh well, what's done is done. I had fun on the trip and I enjoyed my time at the ETW. Isn't that the point?


Oh man, I have so many stories to tell. I don't think I can tell them all. D:
Let's see... We left Adam Johnson on the Army Base, my bookbag got ran over, my slide fell off on stage, Eddie "pulled a Byron," I mooned Eddie on the drive back, Andrew has the bladder of a twelve-year old girl, terrorists, Adam is a whiny little bitch... uh... I'm sure there's more, but I'm a bit tired. It's been a long day.


I got back and read the letters that Emily mailed me while I was away. It really made me glad to be back, and I feel so lucky that someone as amazing as her actually likes me. :3
This weekend is Prom, and I am looking forward to it more that pretty much anything else. This week needs to hurry up. <3


Anyway, I think that's it. Excuse me, I'm gonna go pass out.

The Back Row is Cursed.

So. Today is the day before I leave for Spring Break. But before I get into that, a quick recap of the week:

I had to perform in two concerts this week, on Tuesday and Wednesday night. On Tuesday, we had the Concert Band concert, and Wednesday night was the Trombone Choir.
My dad got videos, perhaps I will post those later. I'll at least link to them, if they make it online. Both concerts went pretty well! And my family was in town to watch them and to buy me delicious food, so it's been a good week.

And speaking of good weeks, this week has gone by ridiculously fast. As the week before Spring Break, you'd expect it to just draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag, you know? But nope nope nope, it's been flying by. That's a good thing because I want it to be two weeks from now, but it's also a bad thing because I have SO MUCH TO DO.

So I get to do everything today. I have my Anthropology midterm today, I need to do laundry and pack for my trip, I mailed off some stuff, I have to finish my Theory homework (eh), I have to go to the library and check out a copy of my Jury piece, copy it, practice it, I have to go to a concert tonight, and I'm positive I'm forgetting something else, but oh well. This paragraph is still filled with enough commas to get my point across! My point being that today is busier than it has any right to be. >:(


So, my trip. For Spring Break, the Trombone Choir is going to be going up to the Eastern Trombone Workshop to perform and watch other people perform and such. On the way up and the way home, we're going to be playing at various schools and churches.

So, that's the schedule for my trip. I won't be blagging at all that week because I won't be bringing my laptop. (No internet for 10 days? Noooooooooooooooo)
Gonna be playing a lot of DS, listening to a lot of music. Road Trips, woo.

But yeah, that's all for now. I'll tell you how things went when I get back on Monday. ;D
(Maybe Tuesday if I'm tired)


(Our performance will be at 3:30 EST on Saturday, March 20th, and will be broadcast live. For a complete schedule of the Eastern Trombone Workshop and a link to the live performance, go here. If you look, you should be able to find it pretty easily. Hope you watch!) ;D


Text me while I'm gone, since I won't have internet!
