Today has gone well.

I've been rather stressed out the last few days, but today was nice to just let me know that just because you had a bad day yesterday does not mean it will the next. This whole schedule thing is leaving me barely any time to get homework done, and with all sorts of projects, jazz band, track, scouts, school, regular homework, regular band... it's starting to take it's toll. But it seems that it is getting better.

First of all, my endurance to be able to withstand track has already changed dramatically since I first started last week. When we do our five minutes warm up jog, I'm not gasping for air at the end. And it didn't just change from one day to the next, but it's been getting exceptionally easier as the days pass by. And part of it may be because of my enthusiasm; you come in thinking it's going to be lame, then guess what? 99% of the time, it'll be lame! I've also tried to apply this to others areas of my life, but it's helped with this one particularly.

Anyways, I may be a tad bit behind on homework, but as soon as I shift things back into gear, I'll be right back to where I used to be... hopefully.

My productivity level has also changed. I still go on the computer and IM whilst doing homework at the same time, but I feel part of a team like I did with Soccer. It's like, something was taken away from me when I quit that and now, all of a sudden, it's back. As corny as that may seem, it's true. And, it feels nice to be able to use that time in Track to my advantage for P.E.

Unfortunately, the potentiality that I used to see in Jazz Band is just not there anymore. It's fun and great to go to... once a week now. Practice after practice for Wednesdays are being cancelled leaving me with only one day to practice with the band each week. And, as much as I hate to say it, it isn't fun anymore. But who knows... maybe it'll change.

Anyways, it's too much to explain in just one entry and it's late. I'm going to bed.

So a lot has happened in the past week.

Had our mile test in P.E this past week. That was fine, although I was sick so I actually lost time. *sigh* Wish I could make that up, but can't. Oh, well.

Had out push up test. I've vastly improved on that. :)

Have fallen behind on my BOM reading. Have to catch up soon.

Have had a lot of homework, but I have most of it done. Just a bit of make up from math. Nothing too big.

I haven't been sleeping well at all recently so instead of forcing that upon myself even more, I'm going to hit the sack at 8:28 instead of 9:40ish. Good night.

Whoo. Where to begin?

Thursday and Friday were the Elementary School tours. I had a demo on Friday and the Jazz played for two of the four concerts, both of which I soloed in. I'm grateful for opportunities like this that boost my confidence to the max and I've realized that it hasn't been so hard to do it anymore. It the short weeks that I have taken the class, I believe I have significantly gained something from it.

And as a result, I have plenty of make-up homework that I haven't quite started on that may in fact be due on Monday. Some of which I can't even start because I don't have and because I'm unaware of the assignment.

I feel guilty about this since I asked mom to force me to get my homework done on Saturday so I can fly free on Sunday. However, not that some of this should've taken precedence, I did have the Christmas Tree Flier Pick-Up Distribution this morning, which went well. We finished at 11:30.

I didn't really eat breakfast before, which was a huge mistake. I got a headache. Bunge's delicious 12:00 breakfast mess was a significant way to stall it, but only stall it. I tried to take my mind off of it, convincing myself that a glass of water is all that would be necessary. By 2, I was miserable. I went to the bathroom, desperately looking for some pain reliever and discovered that the ibuprofen was out, except for 2 gell caps. I can't swallow those without killing myself so I found some tylonel meltaways (Haha. Funny that.) and got in the tub.

I woke up later when mom announced she was going to run some errands, one of which included Gamestop. She asked if I wanted to go. I wanted to, but I felt rather sick even after the medication. However, Gigiss came in the the bottle of ibuprofen he had in his bag that he found and I swallowed one of those and went with her. It was gone by the time we reached the outlet malls.

We got Brain Age 2, my last Christmas present, at Gamestop. It's sad that I know about all of this, but hey. The new Fire Emblem game was for Wii and therefore is more expensive, even for Amazon. So I figured that since Brain Age is a 1-8 multiplayer game using one card, it'd be cool to get it.

We got back around 5:30. Most of the day gone.

I don't know what it was, but I was not up to doing homework at all. *sigh* Now I'm mad at myself for being so reckless.

I will gain progress on Algebra tonight- whether or not I finish it is still in question, but I will gain ground before I hit the sack.

It is 9:53. Time to get to work.

Okay. Since I have a little time now, I will re-cap what has happened.

I was able to finish my book report. *sigh* I wasn't able to find a song for bugling or mutal. I was able to finish part one on my science report. I was ab;e to do my Judaism Hist Packet. I was able to finish my band 30 minutes of practice. I started on my review packet for math, but I have a question for Mr. B. I'm going in at lunch tomorrow to get his help along with Rudger D.

I came across a huge assignment I did in fifth grade. It's my ABC Book of American Architechture. THAT was a killer. I will ALWAYS remember that project.

Oh. Bedtime. bye.

So, yesterday, I started reading The Royal Diaries, Cleopatra the VII for a book report, that I really needed to get kicking on. I was planning on reading 25 pages or so each day. But it's so interesting to me that today, I read a little more than 50 pages. I just finished that up. At this rate, I'll actually have my book done and not wait 'til the last minunte to actually start it and hope for an A (and the funny thing is, when I wait until the last second, the worst grade I've ever gotten was an A-. Pretty good, for a last minute thing, huh?). o:)

6:30-6:40
This morning, I woke up, grumpily. I just realized that my trumpet mouthpiece was still attached to my trumpet, which I was gonna ask my dad to get it out, but never got around to doing that. Since I had band today, I needed to get it out. Well, anyways, thank you Gigiss.

7:00-7:50
Realizing what time it was, (this is after I had my lunch ready, taken my shower, etc.) I decided that if I wanted to get the best grade I could on this report, I might as well read some of my book. I ended reading about eight pages in about fifteen minutes.

8:00 3:15
I went to school, did some stuff, and went home, and sat around and probably played with the Bug, as he asked me to make him yet another lego ship.

(this is the part where I read like 50 pages)
4:30
Then I read my book.

5:00
I got tired of reading, and did my homework.

5:30
I ask my mom to check my math.

5:35
I do my social studies.

6:00
I realize I made two errors on math.

6:15
Dinner.

6:40
I read a little more of book.

7:40
Stop reading and goes on LJ

8:15
Ice cream call. I gotta go!!! *zooms off*
