Long Weekend

Hmm, I guess its been a while since I've posted. Well, time to fix that. Let's see...
On Friday, we still had rehersal, even though the band practice field was ridiculously messy and muddy. But we got the night off, we didn't have anything, so I took a night off and relaxed. Not really, I had homework to do.
Saturday morning, the call was 9 a.m. at the drill field, in street clothes. We rehersed for an hour, then we dismissed for an hour to go get our uniforms on and whatever else we needed to do... we met back at the hall of music at 11:00. Back at the hall of music, we had inspection, where we got counted off if we didn't have our music marked properly, if our spats had dirt, if our pants weren't the right length, if our hats were not ajusted properly, etc. Once inspection was over, we marched to Slater Hill, where we performed a pre-game concert, basically a pep session. After that, we got a 10 min. break, so Grammi and Grandpa were there so I could get some water and food. Then we marched to Ross-Ade Stadium, did the pre-game show, watched the awful first half, performed our half-time show, which was a re-enactment of the 1967 Rose Bowl Show, and then watched the much improved second half. Purdue won over Indiana State (whew! I would hope so...) 60-35, and then we did the post-game concert on the field, and then marched to the fountain in the middle of campus and did our fountain concert. From there we dismissed, thank goodness. I was so gross and sweaty by that time.....
After the game, Grammi and Grandpa took me out to Applebee's and I had steak... so good, I missed steak.
On sunday, I accidentaly slept in, obviously I needed it, since I slept in til quarter to one or so. I kinda split my time between work and play, mostly work, but then around 5:00 Uncle Josh came and picked me up, so I spent the night at his house. It was good to get off campus, at least just for one night, but I was ready to get back.... it was weird. Anyway, I had a nice break, but yeah.... it was good. I came back yesterday at around 5:00, so I had to study before my chemistry quiz, which turne out to be really easy and only consisted of three questions. Anyway, yeah, thats been my weekend. And its back to school, but I actually have most of this weeks work done.... okay, not really, but I have some of it done.
