Back to school

So I finished my internship at Crane on Thursday the 9th of August, was all packed, had visited all my friends for the final time and was ready to leave for Purdue on Sunday the 12th. That's right: back to school for All-American Marching Band Camp. Since I was a returning member, I didn't have to be back until that Tuesday, but I wanted to get unpacked and all settled before I had to report. So camp started on Tuesday and was increasingly arduous until ending on Saturday. I successfully made it into the band, and my official position is Rank 22, no. 3. There are 343 members of the band this year, including auxiliaries and big bass drum crew.
I am finally starting to get settled back in, and am somewhat prepared for the start of classes tomorrow. I did my inaugural load of laundry this afternoon, and everything is in its own place, and I have all my books in for my classes. Mondays this semester will be mercifully easy, with only two classes excluding band, one at 10:30 and one at 11:30. On the other hand, Thursdays will be agonizing: I have classes from 7:30 to 5:30, with only one hour-long break. of course, though the 19-credit hours I am taking seems intimidating, I am taking a (3-credit?) theatre course, and 2-credit marching band, so some classes will hopefully be easier than others. Other than that, i'm just sitting around...
