hey guys, i know it's been like forever and a day since i've written in here but my internet has been down :( it was crazy. i was having internet withdrawals~lol. btw i'm doing much better than i was in the last entry....thanks so much for all the comments! i promise i'll comment back as soon as i find the time. would you like to hear my schedule? here goes: every day this week and next week i have marching band camp from 8am-4pm. (that's 8 hours just in case you were wondering). the upside to that one is getting a tan the day after i'm burnt to a crisp. downside is that i have all these aweful tan lines from my shorts and my shoes, and that i have to memorize 4 parts of music and about 74 sets. yipes! it's all good though. in later news.....i met courtney's trevor and his nick and patrick. trevor is a big doof & he and courtney seem to be good for each other in that respect. unfortunately i think a big doof is the only thing he's capable of being. patrick....bleh, ewww we won't even go there. spoke like a girl the whole time - it was bad. but nick...:) nick is so cute! he's got the curly hair and the tall lanky body~lol. wah! anyways...he forgave me last night for tackeling him - haha, and we talked a lil bit but i had to go to bed. so tonight i'm gonna learn some more about him. ya know i just realized how very simple it is to write a long entry in here. i just keep typing and typing and i still have stuff to say. lol. well...i think i must stop typing b/c i woke up too early again this morning and this is my free time but it's almost time to leave for band. love you all mucho! & God bless you guys...He really is amazing. *manda* p.s. i love you courtney...we'll feel better together one of these days!
