I owe a REALLY big explanation to my future self...

I started this blog because, quite frankly, I wanted it to be just like Zaq's 180 Day Blog.

I wanted document the random everyday happenings and hope to look back on this in a few years remembering all the great things :)

But apparently I set the bar too high at a blog post for every single day :/

Maybe shooting for once a week would be more realistic?

It's been about six weeks since I last updated this, so let's attempt to go back in time...

Our senior high school football games have come and gone... well, the last one is tomorrow. Senior Night. I get to 'walk down the red carpet' with my mom and Mike, while they read off my small list of accomplishments during my high school career.... 4 year member of the Band.... daughter of Glenda and Mike Karnes, and the late Billy Jack.... involved in BLT, Jazz Band, Drama, ITS, NHS.... plans to go to BSU majoring in Theatre Ed.... wait, where was I?

Oh yeah, we've lost every home game XD

I've had more homework than ever before...

I've actually seen Star Wars, Ep. I & II.... although I'm not planning on watching the rest anytime soon,

Because attending a theatre reunion turned out to be well... not the best day of my adolescent life...

Band has had a crazy season. We literally went from the worst in our class to the best. Only this weekend [Regionals] will tell our future.

And after Band comes Drama.... One of the reasons I've stressed doing well this season [as any BLT or trumpet section member will tell you] is because I've given up more this year than I ever have before. I wasn't involved in the Rookie Show because I thought it would be unfair to Chris to miss rehearsal all the time for band. I gave up auditioning for 'It's A Howl' b/c of BLT meetings. Granted I skipped a sectional for the same play over the summer, and went to Greece, I've put in so many extra hours trying to get caught up on the drill and music.... I don't want to look but on what I sacrificed and say it was for nothing....

Focus Fet... Drama. The musical has started ^.^ As Prof. Dalhn put it [when he finally called me so we could discuss the Theatre Program at Ball State[[more on that later]]], I'm one of Tiger Lily's gang, and I couldn't be happier that Amy is Wendy and John is Hook. Like last year, I signed up to do tech too, so... yeah XD I just can't leave my unintentional roots! I can't! XD

Ok... I think the story about the Theatre Program at BSU is better reserved for my other blog. Check it out on Monday.

Other than that.... I got the new Bowling For Soup album "Sorry for Partyin'" yesterday [couldn't get it Tuesday b/c of tech and band], and it's pretty much guaranteed that Mike is paying for my tattoo since the first 9 weeks are coming to a close tomorrow.

Enough of an update for ya?
