Havent been here in a while...

So, I realize I haven't been on in a while. Oh well, not like anyone reads this anyway right?

School starts up Monday... as weird as it sounds, I really wish it would have started up last Wednesday, that would have meant Id still be going to my old school... I'm having to go to public school now, which means I'll be getting up earlier, but on the bright side, getting out of school earlier. Other than that, the only other bright side there is to it is that its the school where my girlfriend goes. That should be a good thing right? At least, in theory. Im going to have to make new friends, work my way back up in band (I was going to be a section leader in my old band, but now Im stuck being the lowest of the low. Awesome.) and just get used to all this excess new crap... and my only theoretical bright side seems to not want to have anything to do with me lately. Oh, and did I mention I'm not even going to get to play drums for the jazz band there? Turns out I missed every single band related audition at the new school. I had to swap mid-way through the summer, and I didnt know I would be going to a new school, so while I was totally owning on drums back at the last school, my chances for going anywhere this year were (and have finished) slipping away.

Thankfully though, my slate is clean at this new school. The guidance counselor thankfully saw that I can get good grades when I want to, so I got just about all honors classes possible. Minus english but, if I apply myself and have a little luck, I'll be able to get swapped into an honors class. English really is my best subject to use in the real world, (and not to boast here) my grammar and vocabulary exceed most students my age and reading is something I grasp onto fairly easily. As long as I actually try this year, I think I'll be able to go somewhere.... hopefully.

But, there is something I am genuinely happy about now. I'll be the full-time drummer for my church's youthgroup. Every wednsday I'll be there with the youth band playing drums, and when needed, bass. So that's definately good. Only downside, is that I'll be missing my girlfriend's youthgroup from now on. She means a lot to me, but I'll leave her to decide whether or not she can see me every once in a while for the next couple of wednsdays.

So... there are a lot of ups and downs for this year... with a few prayers though, I think I'll manage to survive. I'm definitely going to need some help though...
