All right world, I'm back in well...apparently navy blue today. I have absolutely NO idea where to start on this journal since its been so long, but here goes.

Field Band is finally over for me! Most of you probably have no clue what this entails, but for me, it means I'm another year closer to graduating, and that I have my Mondays and Wednesdays back to myself for a few weeks (until Winter Percussion starts up >_>. Aside from waking up at 4:30 in the morning to run laps and get ready to march in the Carrier Dome, the weekend was amazing! We went to the mall, played some Smash Bros. (which I totally pwned in!) and had a Halloween party at the hotel, since the NYS Field Band Conference is apparently to stupid to schedule the show on a weekend other than Halloween...but anyways, no bitterness here.

At the mall, I bought another volume of RuroKen, and I was too stupid at the time to realize for another ten dollars, I could've gotten the MEGA VOLUME with four volumes included (that's what I did last time). I also tried out an especially delicious Japanese soda called Ramune. It's really interesting because it opens using a marble...I found out today that they're available at Wegman's as well as FYE (where I found them). Can't wait to get over here again so we can have some homemade ramen and some fizzy Ramune! Be careful of these sodas though...they're like crack, and I'm in total withdrawal right now!

School's okay, I guess...I have miraculously managed to put aside time every night to watch TV and relax a little, even taking into account all the homework I've had. I have a 3-page Critique due on Friday and another essay due tomorrow that I haven't touched yet. PLUS all the History reading that I've managed to put off until the last minute. I feel like I'm already being forced into college O.o

I am just slightly depressed at my position right now, since it feels like I'm being pushed out of high school at an increasingly alarming rate. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me to find myself blinking once and suddenly already being a Senior.

I've gotta say, the deadline where moves away is approaching far too quickly as well...I mean who else will I have to pick on at lunch? I'm almost certain that everyone else at my table would bash in my skull...It kinda stinks, but I'm sure if it's within her power, she'll come back and visit at least once (or at least she BETTER). This also means that will be gone in a little over a month, leaving us lonely in his boisterous wake. Oh well, I guess...what's done is done.

I've also managed to improve a little more on piano, and as a result of my birthday in October (which I forgot to write a journal about), I've gotten the new Kingdom Hearts and found some sheet music for it including Ice Cream Time and Xion's Theme. I am kinda excited about this, and a friend of my dad's has gotten in touch with a local barbershop quartet, which should be all but completely awesome to see!!!

There's not a whole lot more for me to write about at the moment, since my thoughts which I always work so hard to collect always abandon me as soon as I go to put them on paper (making writing music, making a to do list, or anything that requires a great deal of conscious thought, a pain in my @$$)

I guess that's it for now world, since I've got homework to take care of now.

I'll see ya all soon
