Close

It is close now, to the end of college. That is joyous. I had a rather uneventful day. I woke up, took my oral typhoid pill, went to class, played for chapel in jazz band, skipped medieval history (the teacher was gone and we were watching lame movies), ate lunch, sat around, played frisbee with Jacob, turned in my jazz band music, ate with Ben and Gavin, practiced, watched Attack of the Clones and played Galactic Battlegrounds. Good times, and that was a run on sentence. I had another productive night of practicing, so that was enjoyable. I'm looking forward to practicing with the piano later on today. So, Star Wars comes out in a week, 23 hours, and whatever minutes. That is more happy news. Man, I can't wait. I almost had a crisis today though, as I just learned that we have band practices on May 19th and 20th for graduation. I was sort of angry, as they just sort of randomly tell us, and just expect us to cancel everything, even if it's been planned long before. I wrote an e-mail to the director telling him I had a family obligation that I had to attend. I figure it's my Star Wars fan family, so I wasn't lying. My youth director suggested a "Skywalker Family Reunion." Nothing, save God, is going to keep me from seeing Episode III with my friends next week. My friend Scott and I have been planning this since we saw Attack of the Clones at midnight 3 years ago. My 3 year old plans take precedence over the band practice I was just told about today. It's just going to be a really fun time, a good time. The pastor from my church is probably going to come as well, so that will be awesome. He's a super cool guy. I offered to let him wear my Jedi robe to preach in one day. He didn't seem too hot on that idea though. It was a beautiful day here today, and it was fun to play some frisbee out in the sun. Very enjoyable. I was sad to have the last day of jazz band today. I'm going to miss that, especially 3rd trombone girl and Tony Guzman, the director. He's nothing like the legendary Jeff Gottwig, but he's good. For the uninitiated, Jeff Gottwig is the greatest music educator who has ever trod upon the Earth, and one of the all around best and most influential people I know. My respect and love for that man is beyond words. Anyways, I think I might go to sleep, and get a little extra tonight. So, I hope everyone is well, and have a good day. And remember, MTFBWY.
