Return of the Blog!

I do live! and I have been experiencing! Excuses suck and mine is hard to believe, so I'll move ahead and share my latest new experiences.

I'm not going to go over every weekend I missed, but I am going to go back two:

Two weekends ago I got to go on a road trip with two of my very best friends which was chalk full of new experiences. I got to see a new city, do new things in a city I have already been, and I got to see a Drum Core Internation Finals event live, another one for the bucket list! To list all of the experiences of this trip would take forever, so I'm going to move on to:

Last weekend! I started college! and college marching band! and living in a dorm! and meeting new people from all walks of life! Needless to say, it's been exciting, but I have come to miss my family and my friends who went off to different schools (like both of the ones listed above :( )but I'm learning lots! and at least I can come home on weekends!

This last Friday (Saturday morning), I got to experience the ever fun 3AM fire scare. I hadn't even been asleep half an hour when I hear a voice over out PA system saying "An emergency has been reported, please evacuate the building." So I climb out of bed, throw on shoes, and grab my keys, mumbling curses all the way. We waited outside for an hour because some drunk idiot thought it would be fun to make it snow with a fire extingusher, but I got to meet tons of people from my dorm that I had never met before, including a poor chap that happened to be getting in the shower when the alarms went off. He had to stay out in the cold in nothing but a towel. My other favorite story came from my friend Hannah (name changed to prevent embarassment)and Sarah (name changed) who brought back our other friend Michael (name also changed) to the dorm completely trashed. They dropped him off at his floor's bathroom (in nothing but his boxers mind you)so he could throw up and decided to get a pizza delivered, and were waiting for it when the alarms went off. They evacuated, remembering Michael, and went in to get him. During all this, their pizza was delivered. So Hannah and Sarah took their pizza to Hannah's car, leaving Michael half-naked and still throwing up on the sidewalk. Sad but funny :) If I ever make a college movie, that's going in!
