It's been a long time...

Well it has been quite a long time since my last posting and a lot has been going on.

First off I'm back at Norwich for the semester and things are going smoothly so far. I think my classes this semester shouldn't be too hard except for my precalc class, not that it'll be hard but just time consuming. I finally got my ring after all of the stupid bullshit that this school makes you go through if you aren't part of the normal crowd.

Drum corps is going pretty well so far. We've been doing a lot of cleaning of the music so far and we're now just starting to get the music for the closer. I was looking at my schedule and I noticed that I will have to miss like 3 or 4 camps and thats not good, especially since most of when we'll be learning drill. But I hope to be able to trade some weekends off between the Guard and the Brigs and figure something out with them. Hopefully the Brigs will understand with all of that. Plus one of the camps falls on Jr Ring weekend which I obviously am not going to miss because my date is flying out from Wisconsin. So hopefully they wont be too pissed at me *shrugs*

So it's official that I am completely broke. I don't know how I spent so much money over break but now I have nothing. I'm waiting for my tax returns, drill pay, and GI Bill (if they ever figure that shit out) to help me catch up with everything. But as of right I can't do a damn thing because of this which absolutely sucks.

I've been sick since right before I left to come up here from NJ and I don't know what the hell it is. I'm so pissed because its been driving me fucking crazy. It just won't go away! I can't go an hour without almost coughing up a lung or two.

Well I don't know what else has really been happening. I mean its good to be back here because it's not as boring as it was back in NJ. It seems like I'm always doing something which is nice.

Almost done...

Winter break is almost done and I can't wait to get back up to Norwich. Breaks here in NJ usually suck so I always look forward to going back to school. Well I guess I should give you the run down on what's been going on here.

I've gone to two Phantoms games. The first game they lost and and the second one they won. Kelly and Nick came with my brother and I to the second one. We were only like 6 rows from the ice which ended up being a bad thing. The glass ended up screwing up our view down the other end of the ice so we couldnt really see what was going on down there. Our seats from the first game were better.

I've gone to see two movies since I've been here...wait no three...Stranger than Fiction, Night at the Museum, and The Good Sheppard, all of which were pretty good movies. I'll probably end up buying them all when they come out. My favorite guy in Night at the Museum was the Roman guy, but for those of you who know me would find that pretty obvious haha.

Let's see what else...

I spent New Years over at Kelly's house. We played pool for most of the night right up until the ball dropped and then we just ended up trying to figure out how to play a game which we never ended up playing haha. She got sick from the champaine (sp?) so I helped clean up a little bit and then I headed home. And that was pretty much my New Years haha.

Well now that its the start of the new year and many people have resolutions and what not, I didn't bother with any of that. I have to much that I have no choice in doing that there was no point. Since drum corps season starts up pretty quickly I need to get into shape. I won't survive on the field if I'm in the shape that I'm in now. I've let myself go ever since I got out of BCT/AIT and I'm pissed at myself for that. So I have to work that much harder to get back into shape especially my arms and legs. With the tuba weighing as much as it does my arms and legs will take a beating on the practice field learning the drill. So getting in shape is a must if I hope to keep up. My schedule actually allows me to work out twice each day in between classes so at least I'll be active most of the day. I just have to stick with it and watch what I eat.


I've already started packing up my clothes and getting my car ready to head back up. I had way too much laundry to wash, dry, and fold that I just procrastinated it all haha. I washed it all awhile back but only now got around to folding it all up and separating it.

Well other than that I guess nothing else has really been going on. So I guess no reason to keep boring you :-P
