Apology, ACT, and...

I apologize for not posting for 10 days. I've been pretty muchly consumed in school and sleep. I had the ACT yesterday (the 15th), and I stayed up till about 3:00 in the morning just about every school night studying for the test. Alas, it was all for nothing, because I don't think I did too well. I'm guessing my score to be a 25-27 ish. We'll see here in a couple of weeks.
Orchestra started this past week. Good stuff. I get to orchestra at 8:30-8:45, and don't leave until about 4:30. So it's a long day. I started choir too. I didn't really know what to expect. It was pretty neat...I think it'll be fun. I've got the lowest voice in the choir, but I don't know if that's good or bad, since I kind of like tenor better then bass. Not all the time, though, it really depends on the song. Our Choir Director's name is Krista S. (I guess that's how you spell her name :)>. She used to be the Choir Director for L-R High School. She was telling us a story about a blind guy named Devin who was in the choir at L-R. I thought the name sounded familiar, so I asked some questions after choir was over. Turns out that I took care of Devin's little bro while I was at Camp Barnabas. His bro's name was Noah. I was really tired this Friday from staying up late, and then from orchestra, so when I got home, I went to bed after eating a snack. I think I was in bed by 6:30, and didn't get up the next morning until 6:00. That felt really nice.
The ACT was really, really tough this time around. But I don't like thinking about it, so I won't.
Last night the Double A Team we have here in town were hosting a rival team for Game 4 of the Championship Series. It was a must win game for the our team. We lost. They were down 11-0 in the bottom of the 9th, and ended up getting 7 runs in. So it was an 11-7 game, which wasn't too bad. I went with Tim, Josh, Heather, Jessica, Rachel, Elizabeth, Andrew, Sam, Mr. S, Mr. B, Jake, and Joy. Fun times, and there were some good fireworks afterwards.

Fun times!
Yes, definitely agreed. I love your historical quotes! They're going into my quote book! But why did you have a quote from King George starting it out? Si, is there something in your deep dark past you want to tell us?
Who dared you to use the pic of your swollen face? Ouch!
I worked on the Second Crown today, and I'm almost done with entering stuff into the computer (for what's been edited) :) Yes, yes, Christmas...did I ever tell you my favorite quote is "I love deadlines. I especially love the whooshing sound they make as they go past" ? (Douglas Adams, who wrote "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy") Actually it's not my favorite quote, but one of them...and I'm rambling! Sorry!

I am a Rebel Loyalist at heart. j/k. I'm more like a Rebel Patriot. I just happened to have George's quote first. I think my favorite quote is "He means well for his country, is always an honest man, often a wise man, but sometimes, and in some things, absolutely out of his senses." Kind of like me. :)
Zach dared me, (see his comment under "Wasp Stings")
Christmas, Humbug! October 10th, lass. And my habit of rambling isn't one to follow. :)

Dude, your blog's on google! It's the only one too! :)
You want to take responsibility to get my book done by Oct 10th? I'm tryin', man, I'm tryin'. At least I completed the story before Oct 10th.
And I think I was rambling a long time before you ever thought about it...
Just remember my deadline quote! It fits!

Pretty cool, ain't it?
Unless you started rambling before day 368 of your life, then I've been rambling longer than you. I started the day I was born. :)
And yes the quote fits, most unfortunately. :)
