Hey dogs its been a while. Being a Senior in highschool is eating my time but things are going to free up a little I think. I thought the yard should know whats been going on.

Its finals week in my school (We are on the block system). This means I don't get to sleep. This is my third day in a row without sleep <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />, it kidna sucks but once its over I can sleep again so thats kinda exiting.

I am trying out for ALLstate on trumpet and the auditions are this weekend. ALLstate is a honor band where only 8 trumpets in the state get in. I have been working on the pieces for a few months but they are starting to sound really good. I am also in marching band and plan to try out for Jazzband too. On the weekend I teach trumpets and have 5 students right now.

I finally finished fundraising for my Eagle project for boy scouts, I had to raise 850 dollars. I don't turn 18 until April but I want to finish it as early as I can. My project consists of making 5 Leopold Benches for the College campus which I live on. They are going to be installed in a prairie area which the sustainable living department is constructing.

I went camping last weekend with my class (I go to a private boys school) so we get to things like this every once in a while. I didn't bring my camera but I'll see if I can find some pictures.

School is cool except that it takes 13 hours a day (7:30-6:30) + homework which means I don't get to sleep literally. I found caffeine no longer has an effect on me which I am slightly worried about. I like to joke that I will never have to work so many hours again until I become a parent or start a business. Because we are on the block system we have 4 quarters and I am finishing up the hardest one. Atleast I think its the hardest one from looking at the schedule. I am hoping some time will free up to spend on the forums. My plan is to ween myself off of caffeine once finals are over and start to get to bed by 9:30 like I want to. I am going to start checking regularly if I can. Its good to be back
