first and foremost i would like to apologize for any and all grammatical errors. i am posting this from my cell phone, so no spell check...bummer. second, i would also like to apologize for this being entirely in lowercase letters; the "shift" button on my phone is in a weird place and i am too lazy to worry about it. but hey...it worked for e.e. cummings didn't it?
on to the real blog now.
as i am writing this, i am laying in my hotel bed frozen to death with excrutiating pain in my knee and feet. wait, let me back up.
i attend troy university--go trojans!! we are undefeated in the sunbelt conference so we were eligible to play in the gmac bowl game. naturally, the band was invited to come too, because what is trojan football without the sound of the south?? in preperation for this affair we had practice all day sunday...and let me tell you, i regret not practicing my trumpet over christmas break because my chops were not up to par. i could barely play an 'a' above the staff! (sorry for the trumpet speak...haha) anyway, after freezing and marching our asses off, we got to come home, sleep a few hours and do it alllll over again. we finally were able to head out towards mobile, alabama around 1:30 p.m. and we arrived around 4:30.
the game is tomorrow (wednesday) at 6 p.m. and it will be on espn. i ask all of you that can watch it, do...and if you tune in around halftime then you'll get to see our awesome band!!
despite my emmence amount of school pride and my passion for the band, i am so ready to get back home. i am dead on my feet...and cold.
also, i start classes again on friday. i am very excited about this semester. i made many poor choices last year and even though i can not change my past, i can learn from my mistakes and ensure an exceptional future for myself!
here's to the future! (:
