Happy Summer

School is over. Vacation has begun. Well, sorta. I'm taking a summer school class at avc. Fundamentals of Music. It should be fun. But it's only Mondays and Wednesdays, so I'll still have plenty of time to be bored this summer. Well, besides my cousin coming from Maryland, camping at the beach and going on vacation with family. So I guess it will be a decent summer.

High school graduation was last night. It was a good time with Priscila and Marcea. We were being really mean, but it was really really funny. They're such bad influences... It was all fun until the seniors (I mean graduates) came over and started saying their goodbyes. I'll miss them, but I didn't know many of them personally. So there isn't going to be such a drastic change for me. But I congratulate those who made it through high school, and I can't wait to see all the amazing things they do with their lives.

Last Monday was a holiday, so I invited some friends over. Half of them didn't come, but the other half showed up anyway. I was really sick a few days before, so I didn't do such a good job entertaining at first. (Sorry about that guys. I know how bored you were.) But eventually we started having a good time. Josh and John challenged each other to a Tabasco sauce eating contest, which led to a huge mess of water on the rug. Thanks Josh. Oh wait, it was my mess, right? So yea, Josh lost... pretty bad. John didn't even flinch while Josh was over there choking. It was entertaining. Then we played Nerts. It's a really fast and sorta confusing card game. Then we played telephone pictionary, which is always fun. Oh, I also found out that Josh is a communist. I knew he was a fan of Russia, but I think that's a little extreme, no?

The Band Banquet was last Tuesday. I'd never been to one, and I'm really glad I went. The band video is great, thanks to Casey. I got an unexpected award. "Most Improved Freshman". It was pretty cool, and I'm honored to have been noticed by Mr. Mcq. And then I got a department award for Concert Band? I'm not really sure what that was, all I know is that my name was called twice. But the most exciting part of the night was when Mr. Mcq announced section leaders, drum majors, and next years field show. Danny Elfman. Fun? Congrats especially to John and Britney, our future section leaders. Also to everyone else who was chosen. It looks to be a good year next year, from the leaders we are getting.

Okay, I think I'm done. Now to get ready. Visiting family again! Like I always do. That's what you get when you have a high-functioning family that loves each other. Darn...

Hey, what's up with this commie stuff?! I merely agree with socialist views but am not, nor will I ever become, a communist! Hey, even your parents agreed that socialist views are expressed in the bible as fair and just- moral at that. Christians should therefore like the fact of equality! You know you can't disagree with me there!

Hey, nothing wrong with high-functioning families. It's always a blast with them (well for me at least).

C'mon Josh...We definitely know you are not communist. But you can't deny the fact you love Russia/Soviet Union. I know that as a fact!
