I have a lot to say and little time to say it so here is today's blog:
1. Practice this week was not easy, in Band, the opposite in fact. It was harder then ever and yet, we seem to have diminished in talent rather then grown. Tonight's football game was a complete disaster, OK yes there was rain which distracted people but our band seriously needs to learn the art of perseverance. Thankfully we where saved by lightning and didn't have to preform, instead we sat inside the band room feeling like horrible people after a well deserved yelling by the director. When it was all over and done with we had a senior meeting. While I can't say what was said (leadership this leadership that etc. etc. etc.) The reason I wanted to write this is for the first time ever at that meeting I spoke up, had my opinion be heard and I actually felt like a senior. That was wonderful.
2. Went to Yellow Springs again today. The YS Highschool was off for the day so my closest childhood friends and I made plans to meet and spend the day at our elementry school, where the young kids did not have the day off. To many of you this may seem strange, but it is an age old practice at Antioch. The grads coming back. First it's just fun because all the little kids simply adore you because you are a grad, and therefore holy in their eyes, second who doesn't want a day off school and pretend they are ten again? Well we did. We made fun of it to, playing during "free time" and participating in singing time, although we where as off tune as three teenagers could get. No one cared though. it was Antioch.
3. Adding on to the previous point, this is something I have wanted to write about for a while, but haven't had time to. Friends, my whole life I wanted them, but my whole life I have been known as the bossy girl, I like to be in charge, end. of. story. This makes getting friends sort of difficult, and I was a person who always wanted a best friend someone to always be there. Now first I have no trouble making friends, that I am phenomenal at, my trouble comes at keeping them. All throughout my years at Antioch despite being in a class of only 12 people my friendships waxed and waned. I never had the same friends for more then a few years, I hated that, but now years later and looking back those many friendships have solidified into stone. I know I could go to at least six of those 12 people for anything. Hanging out with them today feeling more comfortable with them then family Although then it seemed like nothing I now know I have amazing friends, and not just them. Basically what I am trying to say is after waiting many years, a little impatiently I suppose, things worked out and now I have an amazing group of friends located all over not just in YS, but truly all over, whom I love to death and I'm so grateful for that.
4. My dad told me I had to write this in and so I am. In reference to something he said early he goes "Well I mean you read all those trashy books." and I say "what trashy books are you talking about?!" and he says "you know, they're all the same." to which I reply "They are not! It's always a different heroine, in a different magical kingdom!" So there we go. And FYI the current book I am reading has a male main character, so HA!
