How Badly I Just Wanted To Get Away From The World

Oh, how Mondays can be so stressful. I waslked into school today with my iPod on. I haven't done so in a while and the fact that I did this morning just signifies how tired I was and how badly I just wanted to get away from the world. I walked into the band room with my headphones still on. I sat down with them. It wasn't until I started talking with Joe, Jae, and Ana about some homework that the ear buds slowly came off. The idea of practice on a Monday is something I will always dread. My optimism leads me to feel excited for next Monday. Next Monday, there won't be a 4PM-7PM practice. The season will be over and I will finally be able to relax. I will have a better time procrastinating on homework than I have been during band season.

This afternoon, we watched the DVD for States. I love this part of the evaluation process. For obvious reasons, we never get to see what the show actually looks like. Finally being able to, we can finally see mistakes and show the entire section what needs to be fixed. Likewise, the DVD also shows how well our hard work has paid off. What I also like about watching the DVD is how much time we spend going into rehearsal. We were on the big field by like 4:30 and had to move around 6PM to the little field. As much as I love colorguard and band, I hate rehearsal. I know that we can't be good unless we practice, but many times I just want to lie down and relax. I was hyper at the beginning of rehearsal, but it died down. We didn't really do anything and only did a run through. Even though I whined about the run-through in the darkness, I do prefer doing them in one shot in opposed to doing it at the end of a long practice. Tonight is hell with The Crucible work do tomorrow. At least I watched the movie tonight! Photo is of the beanie I need to give to Ana.
