ETC.....

You get the idea. This may be a slight exaggeration, this schedule is built upon the assumption that I'll actually do the required two hours of practicing a day. (Turns out music practice is not an exact science.) Even taking that into account, that doesn't leave me a lot of time to spend with my wife or on homework.
My ED 200 class is already on my nerves. We talk a whole lot about nothing. Today we analyzed Bush's "No Child Left Behind" campaign and how it was an epic fail, then we analyzed Obama's plan to change education and how it's on it's way to an epic fail. My teacher, Sis. Anderson, assured us that it won't matter if we coach basketball after school or get into administration, we will never make a lot of money. Okay maybe we do talk about something, but nothing very uplifting. I faced the reality that I will never drive a BMW to work long ago, I don't need reminders.

On a happier note, we've gotten great numbers for the drumline! 5 basses, 4 snares, 3 tenors, 3 cymbals and 2 on the frontline. Bro. Taylor has given me the task of writing a marching show for "Spirit Week" in June. We'll play on the field with 3,000 student body in the stands, easily our largest audience all year. I need to have this written and printed by next Tuesday. No pressure, right?
