• My summer and the upcoming year...

  Currently Listening Avenged Sevenfold By Avenged Sevenfold Brompton Cocktail & Lost & A Little Piece of Heaven & Dear God see related

  Ok... as by what my most recent pulse entry says... band camp starts next week. I'm really excited too. I really am. It's just that next year I want to quit. Not because it's too hard, or it's not fun anymore... but because I want to focus more on my future and what it takes to get there.

  Because the first semester of 2007, my report card had at least 3 Cs on there, during marching season. And one B- but close to a C+. I want to quit band because I'm afraid that my grades will suffer too much and they'll drop below a B average.

  I'm worried because in my state I'm going for the diploma Core 40 - with academic honors. With this diploma, I need to maintain a B average, which I'm barely doing without band. I also need to take and pass two Avanced Placement classes. I'm going to take AP Chemistry and AP Biology. Because in college I'm going for my masters degree in Chemistry.

  And if I let my grades suffer too much, I'll drop the B average and drop down to the regular diploma. And if I don't pass the two AP classes my senior year (I'm going to be a junior in the 08-09 year), I want get the diploma either. I'll go with it this year and pass the Chemistry Honors and Algebra II honors this year. But my Senior year, I might drop band because I want to concentrate on my future and passing the AP classes which are hard. I've talked to people in them, that's how I know.

  Anyway. I'm in 4-H, if you don't know what it is, just skip this part. I have judging tomorrow, on my Health and Photography projects. I did well on those two. But Sunday, I have my sewing and gift wrapping judged. I just finished my gift wrapping today. I woke up at 9-30 this morning and practiced and only finished at 4 in the afternoon. I was exhausted. Then I have to finish my sewing. I need to do the hem on the dress I made and the leggings I did with it. I need to hand stitch those, then, I need to do a zipper on the back of the dress, which I've never sewn a zipper before, so that's going to be hard. Then I need to hand stitch at the dress's waist line to attatch a lining. Then, I have to insert an elastic at the leggings' waist. It's going to be a VERY LONG EXHAUSTING day. I have to get my two projects in tomorrow by noon, and judging is at 12-30. So I won't get home till like 1-00. Then I have to work on sewing the entire afternoon. Then I have dinner with my uncle and grandma and my mom and dad for my grandma's b-day. I'm going to die tomorrow. I hope I survive another exhausting day.

  Wish me luck. I've been in 4-H for 8 years, this is my 8th year. I've gotten blue ribbons on every single project I've ever done for 4-H. I've gotten champion as many time as I've gotten State Fair, twice maybe three I lost count. Then I have gotten reserve champion 3 or 4 times and honor about 5 times. So I really hope (and kinda know) that I'll do good this year. I'll cry if I don't get a blue... I swear.

  Wish me luck (again, I already said it).

   

  Yes, my current listening is four songs. I listened to all of them in the time it took me to type this.
