Band camp #2 the fourth day

So today was fun and exciting I woke up and Michelle took me to the band room. We worked on the "basics" this morning, jazz runs, marching etc. Then Madison's mom took us to McDonald's and back to the band room. Earlier this morning we added some things to the opening song work and practiced it over and over and over and over. It took forever and I was pretty exhausted cause I was trying my hardest but it was all good cause it pumped me up. I started getting really excited about it. Then to top it all off Mrs. Stout gave us a big talk and told us all how great of an opportunity we have this year with guard. I'm so excited ad so pumped and so ready to do anything it takes to get our guard where we want to be. This year is going to be so great and I can't wait. The only bad thing that happened today is that something is very wrong with Morgan Estes's knee and she probably won't be able to do guard at all this year. :[ Which is really awful cause this year is going to be so awesome. I hope she'll still have fun though and maybe actually be able to do a lot of things with us anyway.

Today, the second day.

So today was the second day of band camp. I feel pretty good. I'm not too sore or anything. My wrists kind of hurt sometimes though. So I wore my new glasses today which I got last night and I love them. Anyway this morning started slow and as the alarm clock rang I didn't even notice that I was getting out of bed I went to band camp and surprisingly I didn't hit anyone in the face or knock anything over. Although I did almost take Madison's and Katie's head off. At lunch, Brianna took Morgan and I to Common Ground which was very expensive for the not so great food that they had. Anyway after we ate, Brianna decided she wanted to go through a car wash since Andrea drew on her windows the day before. So Brianna pulls into the Handee Burger car wash of all car washes and it squirt her car with a little bit of soap and water and then just stopped and stayed like that for forever and we all thought we were just going to be stuck in the car wash. So we made Morgan get out and go into the Handee Burger to ask for assistance. She said that every that was in there just looked at her like she was crazy. So anyway some girl came out and restarted it for us and was motioning to us on how far to pull forward. The problem was after the soap covered the windshield we could see the girl at all so Brianna didn't know what to do so we all just started cracking up. Anyway we pulled back into the band driveway about 5 minutes late blasting Icky Thump by the White Stripes. It was hilarious even though everyone was mad at us afterwards. Then the rest of band camp went by pretty fast and then I came home. :]

Stress

So I had guard practice today. I almost literally passed out during practice. I was already confused but then we didn't get to interact with the flag for the last page and a half. So Here I am I have to have down this 4 page guard routine on Friday and I have absolutely so clue what I'm doing. I don't think I understood what I was getting myself into. I'm so nervous about this year. I don't think I'm as scared or nervous about band camp this year I'm just dreading it right now because of the heat and the torture I'll be put through and I'm just not ready to be this person.I'm not the type to remember things. Thank God Kara's here or else I would never remember anything. So after practice I went outside to practice and couldn't even perfect the first 4 counts. I don't know what my problem is. However I do feel a lot more comfortable now and I'm going to give it my all and try my hardest. I feel more ready now than I did this morning. I know it will be hard but I'll just have to sacrifice a few things practice more and Pray to God to help me through this. I know my friends will be there cheering me on too. Well I'd like to write more but I don't think I'll have much more time to practice this. So I'm going to go practice one of my throws.
