Long day, try picturing this:

About 1 in the morning I get off IM and go to sleep, I admit I coulda gotten off earlier, but I was having so much fun I guess.

2 in the morning I fall asleep. zzzZZZZZZzzzzz

7 in the morning I wake up, feeling really tired, get dressed in black and white for a concert, put my tie in my case and carpool with my friend to the rehearsal, we started at like 8:45

Break between groups, we are like 5 percussionists rockin out backstage meany, with various songs on our MP3 CD players.... One girl and like 4 guys just trading off, and we learned who is tonedeaf and who isn't. wow....... tat was a while ago from my perspective

Ok, around 12 we had a lunch break before the concert, and I wait with the drummers until the girl finds her parents to go with them, then 3 of us walk to starbucks and get MY lunch and one person gets a drink. It wasn't far, only like 3 blocks...

ok, 12:50 and we have gotten back, we just kill time for like 40 mins, talking about life, whatever..... so dull.

Concert goes from 2- about 3:30 ish, I played a couple small parts in the youngest symphony that I learned this morning.... not very hard. Unfortunately my private teacher missed it, car trouble after she just had it fixed, too...... That sux

At 4 I am actually playing with my group, my private teacher did make it to see that one. I played really well, but I kinda got mixed up and almost forgot to come onstage! Really dum, I thought they would come through the green room and I could follow them, but they went around. Lucky there was a TV showing the stage, and the timpani were tuned already....

Of course, nothing lasts forever, and timpani tuning on those beasts at Meany Hall were no exception. I was playing around all through the Beethoven Concerto to tune it right, eventually keeping my foot on the pedal.... not fun.

After, I got to watch the Junior Symphony, which I kinda quit since there was no real part to play in that orchestra for me. I was fine, since I had MUN and shit going on, I didn't really care.

Wow, then we tore everything down, moved equoipment back to the room where it is kept, which reminds me of the funniest sign I have ever seen... I don't remember what the name was, so its a fake one below... It can be seen in the room with all the percussion equipment:

For every piece of equipment you steal, I'll kill you.

Love, Roger.

LOL? Well anyway, I woulda checked it but that room was locked. Then we loaded the stuff that belonged to SYSO in the car and took our stuff. We drove a couple people home, had pizza and BAM it is right now 8:00. No really, it just turned 8:01....

I will field any questions you have about it, but for now I am tired, I'm gonna skip homework and just sleep till tomorrow, I am that tired.

Well, a little IM never hurt anyone, except yesterday (1 AM, 1 AM!)
