Not only have I missed two weeks of blogging...I am now blogging on Sunday. (It's midnight) But! I have a (not really, but somewhat) decent excuse...
MAN. These last two weeks have been absolutely nutty. I don't know if you remember being in High School, but there are A LOT of things that go on.
I started up a job at the nearby tshirt screen printing shop, and have been working everyday after school. Granted, it's only until 5. But, by the time I get my homework done, flag practice, church meetings, and other shinanigans over with...it get's a little crazy.
Since I last posted, I have shot not one..but TWO Senior picture shoots. Both lovely ladies in my school, that both have bright futures and are both so unique. I've been busy editing those pictures and getting them done. I am about 98% finished with them...but, here are two samples...
I'm so blessed to do something I love, be with such nice people, and get paid for it. I absolutely love being able to take pictures for a hobby and for the entertainment of others.
This past Friday, we had a home game. I was so looking forward to performing our Flag Corp routine that we have been working so hard on since May. When we got to the Band Room, my flag coach informed me that we would not perform. Needless to say, I was not very happy. It took me a little while to calm down and not be so frustrated that we couldn't perform. But, I got ahold of myself, and went on. We all march out there, do the Star Spangled Banner, and finally get to a stopping position, and learn that all the officials had not yet arrived, and were not answering there phones. The crowd was getting restless, so my awesome friend Chelsey (my dancing partner in the last blog) decided we should go ahead and do our routine for the audience. We all dashed like mad women to get our Flags when we got the OK from Smith. We were all so excited and had so many nerves, we could hardly stand up straight. We performed like the lovely performers we are, and the crowd went wild. I'm so blessed to be part of such an awesome Flag Corp that works so hard. But, not only did we get to perform pre-game, the entire band did, too! It was almost 8 o'clock, and the officials still were not there. We let the other towns band go first, and then our marching band went on. After all that, the officials never showed up. They cancelled the game, and everyone left. We all thought it was awesome that everyone paid to see the band perform (teehee). Afterwards, our class sponsored a school dance. I think you all know about school dances and how awkward everyone is. Yep, that's me.
Anyways, I hope you all haven't given up on me yet! I always seem to get busy with friends on Saturday nights. I sometimes debate on moving it to Sophomore Sundays instead. But, I'll just do my best to be a better blogger. I shall soon get my act together, and try to stay faithful to my blog.
Until we meet again,
Marielle
