The Leaves Are Changing In Time With the Drums

Namaste! I'm pretty sure that is the only thing I will remember from Hindi. I am now over half done with it!! I still have like a week and a half so I'm pretty positive I can knock it out before then. Once I am finished with it I feel like I'll be able to breathe a little easier.

Our football season has picked up. We are now 2-3 (2-0 in the division)!! Last week's game was super intense. It ended up going into over time and the defense was able to hold them after our touchdown to ensure the win for us. This week we are playing one of the schools that we beat last year so I am optimistic :)

I did not buy a dress when I went shopping with Rachel, so I am going after school today to hunt around town. I'm hoping I'll get one today because I don't see any other time frames opening up in the next 3 weeks. But it's not like I have a date to impress. The one guy I asked said maybe, which then turned into a no when he told me he was going with someone else. But that's okay. The girl he is going with is a senior so maybe I'll have a chance next year.  In more positive homecoming news, Mariama is on court!! If you didn't know, this is kinda a big deal for high school girls. And for me it's an even bigger deal because she is one of my best friends and my group and I have been campaigning to get her on for the past two years.

Over the weekend, I went with the marching band to a festival over 2 1/2 hours away from home. I love going though because it makes me feel better about being a "band geek". To see some of the best high school show bands in the region is so awesome for me and it makes me want to work harder so that we can look like that out on the field. although about half of the bands did "Bad Romance" in their show, it was better than listening to the same Bon Jovi show 5 times in a row like last year. We didn't get home until late and I slept in until like noon on Sunday.

Overall, it's been a pretty good year so far. Other than my car getting backed into by one of my friends, nothing has really gone horribly wrong. Let's hope it stays that way.
