It's been almost two years...

The last time I posted was in my Freshman year of high school in my middle school. Now, I'm about to start my Junior year. Sophomore year was fun, but very stressful. I never really broke my night-owl habit, so waking up at 5:30 in the morning was quite the challenge. I'm finally done with Spanish! Oh, and the real kicker is that this year, I finally made Wind Ensemble.

Last year I joined the North Penn Marching Knight program, and I must say that it was awesome! We won a ton of awards and practiced every waking moment to get them. Literally, all I had time for was homework, marching band, and sleep. We kinda became a cult. It was a great experience. Unfortunately, my grades took a severe plunge due to this experience, and so my parents forbid me from joining this year. On the brighter side, I got a job at a florist shop. The hours aren't that good, but the people I work with are really nice, so it makes up for it. Plus, the florist is walking distance from my house, so I don't have to rely on my mom to drive me.

Speaking of driving, I just got my driver's permit and started to learn to drive. It's fun, but scary. You're acutely aware that you are driving an extremely heavy object at over over 20 mph. You could easily kill someone. It's nerve-wracking, but I need to drive so I can get a better job, and also so I can get a parking spot in Senior year. =)

Well, that's pretty much the highlights of my school year. Nothing much happened because Marching Knights took up most of my time.

As for this summer, my family and I went to San Diego, California. It was a lot of fun, we went to Universal Studios and rode on their new virtual reality Simpson's ride. It was very realistic. My dad loved it. The only downer was that I got sick, sunburnt, and stung by a bee within the course of the four day trip. Really, I think San Diego is out to get me. =)

Well, that's all folks. Until next time!

P.S. I just got facebook. If you know who I am, say hello!
