Band Camp, Drill, PARTAYYYY!!!!

So anyways, band camp has been like... army boot camp. XD We've run quite a few miles (I lost count after four...), done a ton of random sprints/backwards running/push-ups/sit-ups/etc, carrying our pole across our backs... We're probably not going to have much time to run after school starts though... W00t!!! I survived the first week of band camp!!! Yay! Only one more to go, then school starts! I'm actually pretty psyched for school, which is slightly retarded, but whatever.

Drill was... interesting. We learned 25 sets, and I was being all happy because Zorro's opener was like 36 sets or something. Then when we finished, Mr. J was like, "That was only half, sorry." So the opener is... 50 sets?!?!?! What the F******CK?!?!?! *sighs* Oh well. Anyways, there was this time when we were doing a run-through, and the guard on side 1 totally forgot our sets, so we stood there for like, 4 sets all like, "Oh damn..." Then Ross almost ran into me because I was apparently in the way of his next dot. Woops. =P

OMG, Brandon joined marching band!!! Haha, I was so happy to see him, yay! I haven't actually talked to him in like, forever!!! But yeah, we seriously haven't changed since 3rd grade. =P Every single water break, we were running around stealing each other's hats and making fun of each other and stuff, it was pretty awesome. But anyways, he's on drum line (bass drum), and his first day of camp was drill. Sucks for him, since he doesn't even know how to march yet. XD He missed all those miles though...

Haha, I'm so freaking tan now!!! I have these epic sock, short, and tank top tans. XP But then I'm peeling along my collarbone, so I have this very awkward white splotch around my neck; it looks like I got burned or something. It's even more epic when I'm in my swimsuit; you can see every single one of my tans, it's soooo funny!!!

The guard party was AWESOME!!! We had like, three different pizzas, strawberries, grapes, M&Ms, Twizzlers, brownies, cinnamon roll pizzas, frozen sorbet, Otter Pops... Plus a ton of lemonade and sodas. It was sooo good! I love our guard mom (Melanie's mom)!!! Except after Melanie graduates, senior year of guard is going to suck... No guard parties... *sighs* So anyways, we stayed in the pool/hot tub for like, four and a half hours until we were all wrinkly. XD Colton and I were playing around with Melanie's mini inner tube and her slide (yes, she has a water slide for her pool); it was sooo fun!
Then we went inside to her game room (it's this room separate from the main house with these pinball machines, a huge TV, a bathroom, tiny kitchen...) to watch some old guard shows, but I had to leave. =\ It was hella awesome though!!! CHS, YOU KNOW!
