I really should stop telling my dad what I might want to do in college. It's not like he's all that supportive--ever. And even though I don't have college for another year or so, I at least want to have an idea of what I want to do with my life. I hate that my dad is always so negative about what I do. I tried out for Encore and was practicing my audition piece and right before we left to take me to the school he yelled at me to shut up (basically). Then he told me that I should take voice lessons, but of course he wouldn't put out any money or a way to get there if I did. I know I shouldn't get so upset about it, and I do understand that it's my choice to be upset, but when nothing positive ever comes from a conversation about school or anything it's a little hard to not get upset. I've finally started getting more hours at work again. I worked on Thurday for about hour hours, and today for almost five, so hopefully this next pay check will rock. I still have to pay for my DCI trip. I'm also going to see if my sister will let me use her car this summer as long as I put the gas money into it. If she does, I'll be able to get a second job, hopefully one that would work me during the afternoons and the days I don't have band. That would make paying for DCI and stuff so much easier. I'm so excited for this band season. Bond. And we finally have our Bond rifle boys! They are going to rock it. Oh man, I'm so excited. Things are mostly going pretty good....mostly.
