How long has it been... 3 weeks? Close enough... here's an update on my life, yo...

District Band ended... it was overall an all right time. I placed 3rd chair on trombone... and I've been working hard on my tone. Though I will be going to regionals, I'm not getting my hopes up on states. The odds are just THAT stacked against me. So, I'm more aimed at state orchestra... and hoping I make it. The music isn't difficult... just HIGH AS HELL! Jupiter hits a HIGH D! I can play a steady Bb, but the D is something that...s ometimes I hit it, sometimes I miss horribly. Oh well, I'm working my ass off on it. It's gonna be a difficult audition there... all my pieces are practicaly in tenor or alto clef, and I haven't learned them completely yet... Why can't we just play bass clef...

Then, District Jazz was this weekend. GOOD TIMES! I love the socializing of district jazz, and the playing this year was good, surprisingly. Good songs, good band... I thought we did wonderful.

Other than that, my new approach to school has been going well... I have been doing ALL my homework at home (last night was my first slip-up, and won't happen again. I just DIDN'T have time). I was failing Micro, but only because my one lab wasn't graded... in fact, looking at my grades currently...

102% in Micro (she added the lab :P)
100% in Spanish (yes, I know there's no grades yet, let me bask)
85% in English cuz I'm missing an assignment
AP Calc isn't added yet

Yeah, not much to brag about actually... just need to wait til the marking period goes. Mrs. Suter told me I did really well on the Literary Analysis, but she hasn't added em yet.

Besides all that, life has been so-so... Life's great when I'm with friends (The football parties (PITTSBURGH'S GOIN TO THE SUPERBOWL!), the movie nights, the times at Super Sheetz), when I'm with Jess, and when I'm playing my instrument...

Now to the bad times...
All right, so, I'm used to by now the whole "Moser's bald" thing... I'm used to being made fun of for it. I've held my head up high since it started... However, the night I had to get the fundraiser hoagies, which was last tuesday, I guess I had reached my limit. While delivering the hoagies with my mom, she asked me about a haircut... and for some reason, that triggered me to just break down over it. I put up with it everyday, listen to everyone say it, and have to endure it. I generally just try to stay happy and not let it bug me, but now that people bring it up all the time, I'll let you know it kills me inside... I just try to act like it's not affecting me in school, but it seriously is hurting me... but things will never change. People will continue do it... I'll keep wearing the fake smile... I'll keep shaking it off... That's just my lot in life...

That's it, I don't feel like talking about more... but there's your update...
