We had our first Day One schedule classes
today, and while starting out with Computers is a favorite for Rowen and most
of my classmates; I really like this schedule better. Accounting in our first class of the day, and
easy for me compared to my family business work; we have Phys-Ed for the middle
morning class; and then wrap up our morning with Science before having our
lunch break. History, Spanish, and Music
keep us entertained all afternoon; and I love getting to end the day with two
of my very favorite classes.
I have some music news today too; though it
won’t officially be announced until next week.
Mrs. Robinson has been given approval and a bit of funding for a
marching band; with the ultimate goal of taking that new band to Disney in
Florida. She talked with me about it
after class today; and the announcement will be made at our first band practice
next Tuesday after school. It won’t be
starting up until next spring, since we have a lot to do between now and then;
but the tentative plan is to be ready to participate in the Memorial Day and
Fourth of July parades next year; and at the football games and some parades
next fall and winter. The trip to Disney
would be a year from February if we manage to pull it all together. That trip is going to be very expensive; and
competing for the fundraising with every charity already being supported in our
little town is going to be a tall order.
We’ll get it done if I have to knock on
every door myself; and I’m sure that we won’t have a problem with having enough
teens interested in signing up – especially when we’re also seriously
considering inviting the Maple Valley school band players to join too. That’d be a lot of travel back and forth for
practices and events for them; but we are talking about a prize at the end that
most kids in really small towns like ours never get the chance to
experience. I’ll keep you posted on all
of the news for our future marching band as it happens; and my biggest problem
is that I’ve committed to being one of the teen leaders for Mrs. Robinson. Now I’ll just need to work that into my
schedule too!
So I’ve had an awesome day at school;
cheerleading practice was great too; and then I went over to the computer store
with Rowen to do our homework after that while Michael and Tim were busy with
an extended football practice. Michael
needed to get straight to the Inn after that, so I haven’t seen him since I
left the school; and I came home from the computer store once Rowen and I had
our work finished. The Malloys were home
in Crystal Springs by then, and Mom and Dad already had dinner for five nearly
ready by the time I got there; so we ate fairly quickly and then I helped with
the cleanup before we all moved into the office to get started on our work or
studies.
Ethan, Ehlana, and I also returned to our
Magi lessons with Mom; they worked for a couple of hours on their college
courses; and Mom, Dad, and I worked on our family business or lawyer jobs until
Mom ordered all of us off to bed at eleven o’clock. I helped with getting the twins tucked in for
the night; came up to my room; and was soon in bed and working on my language
studies and archive assignment. I time
phased all of that, and while that use of power has helped to tire me out; I’ll
at least get a decent night of rest to make up for that. The work, studying, and archives research was
all really satisfying tonight; so I’m feeling really good as well as being
tired.
Game night at the Inn returns to town
tomorrow night, and we have our football game on Friday night; so I’m going to
be in for a couple of extremely long days.
This has been such a good day that this little update doesn’t do it
justice, but I really do need the sleep more; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
