Stuff and a half

Friday – school and Fireside. Marching was pretty good and got to do more “research” in Spanish. Talking AP English and a funny band class. Sara put a penny down Matt’s shirt and it disappeared. 🙂 Awesome…picked units in gym, my group went with UF. That should be, uh, interesting as about 3/4 of the whole HOUR picked that unit. 🙂 Another ice-cream lunch at Big 10. Genetics was lame…but I’m getting an 86%, which is NOT bad considering I’m still rather lost in there. Normal 6th hour and a decent 7th hour. Just wasn’t in the mood for that class like I normally am. Although Matt DID draw an “A” for anarchy on my hand. 🙂 “Anarchy in the U.K.” A sucky practice for “The Crucible,” but it actually ended on a good note. Hauled my ass home, then Mitch and I went to Fort. The show was really, really, really good. So was the food. Interesting topics of conversation…:) “Got home” at 12:15. Uh-huh…

Saturday – Band Day. I thought it was going to suck. It didn’t. Not at all. My butt’s a little sore from sitting on the bleachers for 10 hours, but other than that…I mean, the Badgers won, we didn’t sound THAT terrible, the UW band kicked serious ass, and I had the coolest sense of pride/patriotism/whatever. The “funny stuff” included throwing peanuts at Jon, putting peanuts in someone’s trumpet, Myra’s lemonade “tricks,” warming Ben’s knees, brass under the stands, normal, fast, slow, and backwards, the one band finishing about 5 measures after the rest of us, “Australian hats,” Derek/Jonathan, Sarah’s licking, THE bumpiest bus ride, and everyone looking at Dan when he whistled. So the day rocked. And Mom was happy because I told her that I’m “definitely” going to Madison.

Katy! Will you hang out with me when I’m just a lowly freshman? 🙂 And Molly, we’ll have to meet!

After that, I came home and watched “Titanic.” 🙂 Went over to Mitch’s, and Jeff, Aaron, and Bryce came over. Listened to ’em talk and watched Jeff try to make a pyramid of the pop bottles. It kept falling down, it was really funny. 🙂 The guys quasi-jammed, then we ran to Aaron’s to get some stuff. Ben came over while we were there and he told us the blinking light thingy…aih. Poor Chris. We went back to Mitch’s and Ben came, too. Only stayed till about 12:30, though. We listened to music and talked when we were back. I left at one. 9/29 gets a *remember this day* marker. But the big one goes to today…

Sunday – got up at…3 pm. YUCK! 🙂 Did homework for a while, then Mitch picked me up and we went to Lake Geneva (had to do the retarded “parental dinner” thing before that…good lord, I see you two enough!). Aaron and Sean and maybe Issy and some other people were supposed to be there, but we couldn’t find them. Just wandered around on the boardwalk for a while instead. Went back to his house after a Taco Bell run. We watched “The Fifth Element” (well, he slept through most of it) and something on Discovery about “Super Max” prisons.

9/30 gets the biggest *remember this day* that I can give it! 🙂
