Update before bed..

Well for some reason I'm extremely tired tonight. Maybe it was the lack of sleep from the weekend or something I don't know.

So this past weekend was a Brigs camp. We had a nice turnout considering it was a rescheduled camp. We worked on Sparkling Diamonds (parade tune) for the parade that I wont be there for. The rest of the time was spent memorizing Spanish Fantasy and First Time Ever and trying to work out the one part in Spain. John and Jason weren't there this weekend so I didn't have anyone to get drunk with, which I guess is good and bad lol. I need to start paying my tuition so I can bring home a contra and practice. I'm getting the fingers and rythms down but I don't have the pitches in my head which makes memorizing pretty difficult.

But I guess the biggest news was my check from the VA that I got today. It was for over $1600 which is back pay from I guess around October/November time period. This is awesome because now I can pay off my credit card and pay the rest of my Brigs tuition before I spend all of the money lol. The rest I need to put somewhere where I won't spend it.

This weekend and all of next week is Drill/AT for the Guard. We're doing a concert tour to a bunch of high schools in Vermont and doing a bunch of clinics with them. Hopefully it's not like last time where there is a lot of down time doing nothing all day. Don't get me wrong I love doing nothing but this was just a ridiculous amount of time last year lol. We have this convoy training thing on the 17 which is a Saturday and right after we get out of that I need to haul ass out to Syracuse for the Brigs camp. I'm missing the parade but I think I'll live :-P.

Other than that nothing really exciting has been going on. Norwich is still as boring as ever but everyone is looking forward to Spring Break this coming week, which I obviously don't have yet again this year thanks to the National Guard.


Well that's it for now....
