So alot's happened since my last update. This summer has just been crazy, great fun, but crazy nevertheless. Highlights over the past couple of weeks include several times "home alone", a lake trip to Carlyn's grandparents which was so much fun, and bama orientation. Actually orientation was really boring cause they stretched it out unnecessarily. Steven and I were like the last people to check in to the dorms so we got to room together except they put us in these crappy apartments which didnt even have a tv. We both signed up for 16 hours first semester so we'll see how that goes. I'm excited about it all; It's hard to believe that in only one month we'll all pretty much be in college. |

This past week has been a blur, but then again summer tends to do that to you. City Stages went well. It was alot of fun playing with Melissa. We're going to have a blast this next year. She's like the only person i can talk about clarinet with and not feel dorky or stupid.
Went to hear the Killers Fri night which was alot of fun minus the hundreds of randon people that we were crammmed in there with.
Today was interesting cause my dad had to go to the emergency room for chess pains that he had had. Everythings fine though, he just has to have a heart work up or something like that later this week.
Not how he wanted to spend Father's Day.
Oh yea, Thurs I said goodbye to my clarinet teacher cause they left for Houston. It was really sad cause I realized when I was driving away that that was the last time I be driving home from they're neighborhood.
Work has been interesting all week. It's either crazy busy or absolutely dead which means either really stressful or really boring.
I went to lunch with Erin one day and we had such a great time catching up with each other. We went to IHOP cause thats where Chase works and we sat in his section so he could wait on us. It was so funny.
Right now I'm sitting outside Starbucks. Man, I love my new computer. |

well, well, well, its that time again. Its definitely time to move on. Im just ready for new things in my life. Better things and things that actually care and are consistent. I lost a part of me this year, no, not lost, just put aside, and its time I brought it back. Ive got to get away from this place.
Yea, so this is my first update on my new ibook computer. I dont know how many more updates there will be though, not many.
City Stages is next Sat at 1 on the music oasis stage if u want to hear us play. |

The past couple of days have been so frustrating. First of all, it gets so annoying that I cant go out with my friends cause i have to work. I know, its that big of a deal, its just annoying. Tonight was horrible. Just when I thought I could leave early and go to a movie, like 30 people came in at the same time and it was crazy. People's orders getting mixed up, food running out, it was aweful. And this was after having to some in at lunch too. Yesterday I found out that my music scholarship was being revoked cause I got the presidential scholarship too. I know, thats not that big of a deal and really picky and stuck up and other people would kill for a sholarship. But I rightfully earned both cause I had to work hard for both all through high school. Ends up I get half of the music one cause they want me in the music school. I still havent gone to get an estimate on my car cause i just havent had time. Hopefully mine wont be in the shop as long as Brandon's.
At least I got to visit some old friends this week and just enjoy chic-fil-la and a corny movie. |

well well, this has been a very interesting week indeed. Let's see:
-visited Carlyn twice
-work every night (actually kinda fun now)
-went bowling two nights in a row (won $8 one night)
-home alone for a couple of days while my parents went to Atlanta
-last night Brandon kinda sorta accidently bumped into my car while pulling out of Stephen's driveway. No one was hurt except our cars, lol. Just had to pull some plastic off push some in, and good as new, almost.
-I've been staying up till like 12 or 1 every night and gettign up at like 11 everyday, kinda nice. I'm just a night person I guess
So that's been this week. All in all, quite interesting, never a dull moment anymore. Who knows what next week could bring. |

So tonight I had to pick off the leaves of the most parsley Ive ever seen in my life at the restaraunt tonight, lol. It's not as bad as I thought, I get $8 an hour, not bad.
So instead of playing these two really long, difficult, tiring pieces for city stages, Melissa and I are going to play duets, lol! It'll be alot of fun cause we'll be the crowd pleaser next to two voice people and a pianist.
Some people need to get a clue. |

So the past several days have been kinda weird for me cause of thsi new job and everything. I havent really seen many of my friends, and my parenst are still driving me crazy. Stephen went to his orientation and he was telling me about it and it hit me, I won't be in any of his classes next year; or Brandon's. That seems so weird to me cause we've always had like all the same classes together. Hopefully my orientation wont be as stressful. I really dont want to overload myself the first semester. Thats not for another month though.
Oh yea, I get free city stages passes to the Killers that Friday night if ur willing to come see me get presented with my meesly $200 honorable mention thing.
I really want to go back to the beach!! |

So many things are frustrating me right now. I dont even feel like writing about them. Im in one of those, where is my life going moods. I'm so scared, excited, and nervous about next year. Part of me wants to fast forward 3 months, but i still want a summer. This stupid job that my parents made me get really sucks. If I find something else I may do that instead, I don't know, uhhh, it's so frustrating.
I don't feel very close to like any of my friends right now. Sometimes I try too hard, but most of the time I just dont know what to say. I thought I was a good listener but then I dont know what to say.
I know one thing. I've got to get away from my parents. |

Life just feels weird right now. I feel like I'm in limbo or something, just floating around between high school and college. We all wanted to graduate so badly the past few months and now that we have it just feels so weird. Some of my friends have been back to the school this week and they said that it just feels weird and uncomfortable.
I think I need to get away this summer for like 2 weeks or something. No music camps this summer.
Last night was fun. Saw Star Wars for the second time after hanging out at the Summit for a while. The script is even worse the second time. Brandon and I enjoyed laughing at the Emporer for a second time, lol. |

So I slept for about 12 hours last night regaining much of the sleep lost over the past week. The beach was amazing! I had so much fun regardless of the drama. The weather was perfect the entire week. The beach was beautiful and the houses we stayed in were really nice too. There's so much to say. For starters, drivign down was fun cause Brandon and STephen basically raised each other at like 100mph and we were throwing dorities at him, lol. Then Brandon gets pulled over in a little town for merging incorrectly!!
Once we got down there, there was much time on the beach, football, walking, laying out, in the water, etc... We ate out at alot of good places except for the place that had 4 things on the menu, lol. We went to the Track one night ans saw half of our senior class which was funny. Then Wed night we saw Star Wars at midnight with once again, half of our class. I have to go see it again cause I'm not sure I remember everything from the wee hours of the morning.
Every night we stayed up until like at least 3 just talking most of the time. Stephen, Brandon, Steven, and I slept in a room with 4 bunk beds which was so fitting for us cause it felt just like band camp except of course alot better. Played golf one day at a really cheap course but it was still fun. I got sick at some point and my stomach felt horrible. Thursd went to the Outlets and got some awesome new shirts and went to Seaside that night for some ice cream. Fri outlets again, and then the long drive home.
It's so hard to believe that I'm out for the summer. It just feels like I'm going back to school Mon, but I'm really not. Its' a weird feeling.
Anyway, that was a trip that I will remember for the rest of my life and I will treasure some of my memories from it. |

As I look back on this week, it is a blur. i don't even know where to start. My friends and I have just been in overdrive play mode since we got out of school. We've done like a billion different things in the past 4 days. It's been a blast, but eveyone's banking accounts are begining to feel the strain. Last night was the crawfish boil which was my first one to go to. I woke up this morning with a very sore throat from all the smoke. I had my first encounter with hoards of drunk people and one even came up and put his arm around me. So yea, Tom is going to be a long day, but oh so good. Then Mon, the beach!!!! |

Well i cant really sum up my emtions right now cause there are just way too many. This is my last week in high school ever. Thats pretty huge. I've watched the senior video some this weekend and that last song just really gets to me. I'm going to miss these people. I'm to miss so much. This week will just be weird all together. It's so hard to believe that its finally here. It all went too fast. Unfortunately my last day will be spent with a stupid physics exam, that I'm going to fail anyway. I figured my last school night should be a pretty late night since thats what im used to from high school. College will be great i know, but wow, no more high school. It's finally hit. Wow. |

So Friday we played golf with mr eady and mr dekker. As always, it was alot of fun. Itll prob be even more fun if we were actually good too. Then we went to get Stephen's truck back and his subs sound awesome. I have a feeling I know what we'll be doing at the beach, lol. Then we went to Amy's party at the beanhole afterwards and hung out there for a while.
Today I had that city stages scholarship competition and it didnt go so well. We will see. The best part about today is that we found out that Steven and I both got into Riverside!! We were a little worried about that but God always takes care of everything even the little things.
This week is just going to be weird all together. The last one. Plus two of my AP exams. Should be interesting.
6 days!!! |

Everyday we keep getting closer and closer. Tonight was the senior banquet and it made me realize how much I'm really thankful for my time at Briarwood. Yea, right now I'm kinda sick of it and theres lots of things id change but im really going to miss alot of those people. Our class is so ridiculous. We had the highest ACT score of any class and had like 5 million dollars in scholarships. So many smart people. It's so had to believe that its finally us. I've never been so excited. Just have to make it through like the begining of next week and im done with two of my ap classes. |

I am so tired from this past week. Every night I didnt get to bed before like 12. The play went really well all week. It was so much playing though; Brandon and i goofed off a bunch while playing and made tons of mistakes. It was fun though. Last night was the last night thankgoodness. Afterwards we went to the cast party but no one was there yet. So with a little extra time we decided to invent a new form of entertainment. Steven drove my car and we played like literally hide and seek with Stephen in meadowbrook at 11 something at night. It was so awesome, but i do need a new car cause curves aren't exactly my car's forte. Anyway, the party was at John Mac's and was a ton of fun too. Tonight was the graduation party which was ok, i guess, left early though. This week is looking pretty busy too with AP exams right around the corner and all these graduation festivities. I think im going down to Bama sometime this week to practice with Andrew again but this time for the city stages scholarship thing. On top of all this, my teacher is moving!! Yea, that kinda threw a wrench into my plan. I'm really sad about this, i dont know what im going to do.
10 days!!!!!!! |

I hate school so much right now for so many reasons. I have so much to do right now. Ive been doing homework for like 2 hours now I think, which is more than ive done since like last year. All these stupid AP tests from teachers just piled up since I was gone Wed and Thursd last week. On top of that, I'm sick of the way that school affects everyone; it's very unpleasant alot of the time.
Anyway, we have the play this week, so i prob wont update for a while. Hopefully it'll be somewhat fun. |

So my 4 day extravaganza is over. I'm absolutely exhausted. So Wednesday we get to Auburn and do the whole solo competition thing again. I got third in the preliminary round and had to play again that night. Mt pianist was Andrew the principle sax in the Alabama Wind Ensemble, and he is just a really cool guy. I'm sure we'll hang out alot next year.It went really well both times but even better for the finals. Thursday chair tryouts. Technically tied for first but he got one point better on sight reading which is used to break ties, uuuhhhhhh. Friday rehearsed all day then prom that night. My dad basicaly drove 90 the whole back and i had like 10 minutes to shower and put my tux on, but we made it on time. It was alot of fun and it really began to sink in that e'tre going to graduate in like 3 weeks. The prophecies were interesting to say the least along with the prom video. Got home at like 2:30 or so, prob asleep by 3. Woke up at 7 and went back down to Auburn. Rehearsed and then my very last All-State band concert ever. Actually my last honor band ever. Sounds silly I know, but still, wow, the last one. Got second in the solo competition which I was fine with. Drove home and now I'm just exhausted. |
