Well...had a lot to do today. I went up to the high school and helped with the new freshmen marchers. They've got some work to do, but it's not surprising since they've only been marching for three days. I'm so ready for marching season. Afterwards I went and ate with the girls, then Shelby and I went to Wal-Mart and I got my haircut! I only got four inches cut off, but as curly as it is it looks like I cut off six. So woo for that! Came home for about an hour, then went up to the coffee shop for an yearbook meeting. Got to see the proofs of my pages for the book. They look amazing. Mrs. LaRue gave me some new ideas for the book next year. It's going to be amazing. I can't wait.
So all in all, it was a great day.
And it's not even over yet!!
Tomorrow is the 4th of July city-wide celebration and I have to play in that. But I got a new ligature for my instrument, so it should be playing pretty spiffy now. Yay! Anyways, if I don't post before then, I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!
Thanks for reading, Jessica

Wow....what to say. Haven't been posting in awhile, hadn't really thought about it actually. Umm...well. Summer is great, I'm loving it. I just can't believe it's July already. Whoo. I'm turning seventeen on the twenty sixth. Unbelievable. Man, summer is just flying by. I got my license two weeks ago, got my actual license (not just the piece of paper) in the mail yesterday, and I was kinna surprised by how nice my photo looked, so I was happy. Had senior pictures done 6 days ago for school. I just can't believe how fast high school has flown by, really. It feels like just yesterday I was anticipating my freshman year, ready to be at a new school in the marching band with new responsibilities. Now I see those responsibilities as 'old-hat' stuff, and I'm looking forward to my freshman year of college a year away. It's just...really flown. I'm totally looking forward to marching season, which is a bit odd for me, because I usually hate marching season. But I have a solo, and I'm in pit again, and the music for our show this year is AMAZING. It's called "Celestial Bodies" by Mark Higginbotham. Check it out if you can.

It's on his music player.
Well...I've been single for...er...roughly two years now. Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I hate it. Right now, I'm kind of at the hating it level. I hate it in some ways and love it in others. I hate not having that feeling that your wanted. Not even so much wanted as needed. But at the same time, I love the freedom I have...nothing tying me down, and I can just go out and have fun. When school starts, I won't have anything straying my focus from schoolwork, and I'll really be able to concentrate on making good grades my senior year.
The year that really counts. I guess I'll just take everything as it comes.
Kinna bummed already. I really wanted my senior year to be 'drama-free,' if a year of high school really can be that. Summer just started, and already someone that graduated started crap. It blew over, and I don't know who all heard the rumor that she was spreading about me, and frankly, I've got to the point that I honestly don't care anymore. If she feels the need to spread lies about me because she's just that petty, let her. I'm not going to stoop to her level and get revenge. I'm just not going to say anything, be the bigger person...and let it slide.
Anyhow...thanks for reading.
