sweat....yum

When most people think of sweat they cringe, and think that sweating is a disgusting thing. However, sweat is something you get when you work hard, and working hard is something to be proud of.

Every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday there are a group of about 60 persons who go out on blacktop, march underneath the blazing sun, and sweat! Then on fridays they perform at football games, and sweat. Then on Saturdays they perform at competitions, and sweat. This group of people call themselves the Apollo Marching Eagles, and they SWEAT!

We march hard, we sweat a lot, we have fun, and we can't imagine life without marching band. Band is what we do and band is what we are. We are a family and we stick together... even when we are sweaty and irritable.

Call me Band Nerd... I say YES I AM!

Precipitancy Creates Prodigality

Precipitancy Creates Prodigality.....Which means that haste makes waste....
I have a very good daily reminder of this.
As some know...and some dont... I work at Mcdonalds, and as all SHOULD know, Mcdonalds is almost always busy as a bee. Working at Mcdonalds hardly ever gives you time to breath. When I work front drive... (handing food and drinks out to people).... I occasionally get flustered and try to speed up everything that I am doing. The managers keep yelling to serve, wanting me to get the cars gone as fast as possible... and you try to speed up so they dont yell at you anymore.... SOo... when I try to speed up toooooo much... then nothing is good. There are numerous occasions that I have dropped FULL and LARGE drinks on the ground.... liquid alllllllll over the floor... which means they have to take one of the other crew to clean up the mess, which gives them one less worker for a while. Plus, i have to remake the drink.. which kills my times (times are the average amount of seconds that a car is in the drive thru). This thus makes my managers more irritated.. and me in a bad mood..... ugh...

Birthday sympathy

Every year we have a day that belongs to us. Every indivdual has an individual day. Its our special day. Its the day that we all look forward to for the whole year. Excited to hit that 16th birthday, that 18th birthday.... that 21st birthday. :)))) Then when the day finally comes... some of you say you want to stay home and sit in a corner. You say you cant bare the embarrassment of everyone acknowledging you all day long. Having the principal annouce over the school news that today is YOUR day. You cant stand to sit in band class and have your idiotic 'friends' (what betrayers they are) telling the director its your day today. Thus having the WHOLE band be led into the torturous song of happy birthday. We cringe on that day.... yet we dream for it to come for days on end; just to turn around later in life to beg the days to slow down and go away.... We should be happy that we have a day that is our day! Over seas (i believe in china) they all celebrate birthdays on the SAME day... no individuality..... take pride in your birthday... stand up, smile and scream it to all.

o by the way... happy birthday... to my friend in english class! : D

Compost Computer

While sitting in a class for english, I waited for my computer to load up. While I hear people typing away, I sit waiting for the browser window to pop up. When my teacher said 12 minutes to blog, my browser home page... still at a lost of where it was. Five minutes have passed. Im sitting waiting for blogger to go to the sign in page. No sign of life from my computer. I reconnect to internet; computer goes slower. 10 minutes later... FINALLY SIGNED IN! Now all I have left to do is to get to the make new post button...

NYLF

This summer I went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I went there for the National Youth Leadership Forum of Medicine. I had a blast, made new friends, and had the experience of a life time. While there, me and three other girls sort of formed a clique. We did almost everything possible together. Whenever there was a requirement to travel to our next lecture, we were always right there beside eachother. I truely made some good friends.
I learned more than I knew was possible. While there I got to witness a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This is a removal of the gallbladder. However, instead of doing an open surgery, they instead make a small incision and insert a camera. They also blow up the stomach with carbon dioxide so as to increase the visibilty of the internal organs. It was an eye opening event! I also got to see a knee replacement, see cadaviers, study handson with cadaviers, speak with doctors, speak with medical students, and so much more. It was so much fun and I learned more than I ever thought possible.
