The name of this post makes me chuckle. It was something we said a the Drum Major Academy this summer! lolz Well what does that have to do with anything?
Tonight was my first band competition as Drum Major. Talk about the scariest thing I have done in a while!!! Well, when we got off the field our band director was hinting that we did horrid. (he does that a lot... haha) Ends up we actually did pretty good. 1st place percussion, 1st place color guard, and 3rd place, out of 4 or 5, overall in our division. I was stoked... pretty freaking stoked. I couldn't help but smile when they called out "ROXBORO COMMUNITY SCHOOL!" I wanted to scream in excitement! The only thing I was disappointed in was myself. There is an award for the Drum Major and I wouldn't say I was expecting it, but I wanted it... really bad. When they called 2A (our division) DM winners and my name wasn't one being called, my heart sunk. I was saddened, but it was followed by the color guard and percussion winning, which made my heart extremely happy.
One thing that makes me happy is my band in general. They love me and it makes me so freaking happy that they do because I LOVE THEM! They help me get through things like this. If it wasn't for them, I would have been to nervous to even breathe today! They just make me smile how amazing they are and I love every single bit of them.
Well, there is another competition next week and I think we are going to do even better! That's all I wanted to say for now. Thank you and goodnight! :D

Oh how I've missed you.
It's true, I have missed blogging. It's been too long. I think about 2 weeks or so. I have had absolutely NO time to blog which makes me sad, but I'm glad I finally have a moment to do so now! I have had a lot of things going on in my life and I'm glad to have the moments to just relax.
WELL my first band competition as Drum Major is in less than a week and honestly, I'm scared to death. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely excited, but super scared. I don't let my band know that because if I'm scared, I'm sure they will be too and I don't want that. (Although, I'm sure a couple will read this. haha) I'm just working hard to prepare myself and my band, so I must stay POSITIVE!
Anywho, I don't feel like talking about much more about my activities, although my tennis game has been ON lately. I feel the urge to talk about the title of this entry. Yes, it does apply to the fact that I have missed blogging, but it works for something else that has happened just lately. It relates to people who come back into your life that you have tried to say "Yeah right, I didn't miss them at all!" even though you know it's a lie. Well that's my situation. Sure, this person hasn't talked to me in a long while, but as much as I want to say I didn't miss them, I did. As I read in my journal not too long ago about this person I thought to myself, "What happened?" I still wonder that and probably will for the rest of my life. Well, that's life for ya! Still, it's nice to see that person again and talk to them and see that they still remember your past that you had together. Even if things don't change, it was nice to see you... very nice. There is so much of me that wants things to go back to the way they were, but there is a little bit of me that's content with where we are. I guess time will tell. As I often say, patience is a virtue.
That's all for now. Now YOU must be patient and wait for my next post, which I hope will be soon! Thank you and come again.
