Hey, I just got back from band camp... It was soo awesomly fun. I went to the one at Stephen F. Austin State University (which is huge not to mention!) in Nacadoches, Texas. It was for incoming 7th and 8th (me being 7th) graders. SFA Band Camp was on June 7-12.

So right when you get there you sign in and get your key, meal card, and nametag and all that ''important'' stuff. Then you take your luggage upstairs into your dorm. Then you go and find some hard to find place where you audition to see which band your going to be in. Then you go to your dorm, chillax, attempt to make friends, and whatnot... Then you do some stuff and eventually figure out which band your in and then you go and have a rehearsal and then again attempt to make friendies!! You eat and shower and at 11 lights are out and the first day of band camp is over....

For the next five days you rinse and repeat something similar to that... which kind of goes like this...

6:00 am- wake up

6:45 am- be dressed and out of your dorm heading to breakfast

7:00 am- eat semi unedidible college food

8:00 am- musicianship class, where they talk to you about writing music and furthuring your love of music and turning it into a career.

9:00 am- sectionals class... mine was saxophones (me!!) bass clarinet, and bassoon

10:00 am- rehearsals... 2 fricken hours of playing your instrument

12:00 pm- lunch

1:00 pm- mastery class, which is where you learn about YOUR instrument...

2:00 pm- 50 minutes of free time.. where everyone usually gets a delicious starbucks!!

3:00 pm- assembly, which is really fun

3:30 pm- rehearsal, an hour and a 1/2 of more playing

5:00 pm- dinner

6:30- 9:30-- planned recreation- which is really fun stuff where you swim, go to the gym or other stuff like one thursday was the dance...

and then its the end of your day where you can buy freakishly delicious papa johns pizza...

AND THATS HOW A DAY AT BAND CAMP IS

the dance on thursday was really weird there were alot of people grinding on each other and stuff which i stayed away from... yup

I made alottt of friends.. there where these one group of dudes who were superrrr awesome!!!
yeah and it was totally awesome...

and the general band camp stereotype is sooo not true... or at least at SFA!

long long ago (october 08) I was very bored... and I got to thinking! I wrote a song. and it was called... I KISSED A SQUIRREL! I really did not kiss a squirrel... but yeah I wrote it and its really popular at my school. Its a beautiful song... jk:) so yeah i'm gonna post the lyrics.

I kissed a squirrel

dedicated to all squirrels especially the ones that get KISSED!

By: Jessica

This what never the way I planned

And I started thinking

I got so bored went out drivin

Lost my direction

It’s not want im used to

Just wanna try it out

I’m curious for you

I lost attention

I kissed a squirrel and I liked it

The taste of his nuts and acorns

I kissed a squirrel just to try it

Hope my raccoon won’t mind it

He jumped right out, in front of me

His fluffy chin! His furry ribs!

I kissed a squirrel

And I liked it!

No I don’t think you have a name

To bad I cant talk squirrel

Most just hunt you as game

But I do better

Its not what most do

Not how we behave

I got so confused

Then you jumped out in front of me

I kissed a squirrel and I liked it

The taste of his nuts and acorns

I kissed a squirrel just to try it

Hope my raccoon won’t mind it

He jumped right out, in front of me

His fluffy chin! His furry ribs!

I kissed a squirrel

And I liked it!

You squirrel don’t smell that good

But your hair is better

Your hard to resist your so touchable

Too good to  deny it

It aint no big deal its innocent

I kissed a squirrel and I liked it

The taste of his nuts and acorns

I kissed a squirrel just to try it

Hope my raccoon won’t mind it

He jumped right out, in front of me

His fluffy chin!His furry ribs!

I kissed a squirrel

And I liked it!

Ok so do you think I have some skill here?

i got bored so i wrote this!

(<-- angry banana)

1.      When people bring up stuff that happens in the past. One person is doing this to right now and it gets me so frustrated. I hate when people bring up things I screwed up on long ago. Like one of my friends constantly reminds me about when I had anger issues and I used to have those little “tantrums”. When people bring up stuff like this it makes me really angry

2.     Stupid jerks. I really hate those guys that think their so hot and their complete rude pervy jerks. I have to eat lunch with these type of guys 5 out of 7 days a week and believe me it is not pleasant. My bff used to date one of these guys. He was so ugly and he looks like an albino. But for some reason all girls think he is hot. He is a perv.He dates girls for like 4 hours then breaks their heart. He has dated 70% of the school!

3.     When people talk about all the good things you have which they don’t. Everyone knows their really, truly jealous but it makes me really mad. Last year my ex bff kept saying to me “I don’t get 500 hundred dollars for Christmas like you do” and she would say It in that really rude and bitchy way which makes you (or at least me) feel like your selfish. I don’t know why that peeves me off so badly but it just does.

4.     People who go around hugging everybody. I’m just not a touchy feely person and I hate being hugged by anyone who is not my mother and father. I don’t even like being hugged by distant relatives or best friends. I went to camp one year and they had this night where people where crying about god and just crying. I was crying too and people were coming up to me and hugging me, touching my head, and praying over me and it was just awkward and it didn’t feel right and I hated it. My best friend was still crying when I was all dried up and I just patted her back cause I just don’t feel normal hugging.
