I. Am. Back.
With some photos that I didn't take. :D
I don't claim ownership over any of these photos, blah blah blah... legality...blah....

Ok. So yeah. I actually lied. I'll upload some soon, but my internet is not being a good friend.
So yes, I apologize for not posting very often, lots of things going on right now. And I have a lot on my mind. Plus... there isn't much of an audience, so this is like talking to myself. Which is kinda sad. And I swore to never talk to myself again! EVAR!!! Joking. I don't talk to myself. Seriously. ¬.¬

Continued from last post...

My internet has been rather slow lately.

I was going to include a couple pictures with my last post...

I tried, but failed. My apologies.

I promise some pictures when my internet decides to be kind.

Thoughts on school and solving the graininess problem!

Well, hey there...

I started tennis yesterday...er...two days ago.

Joy! ANOTHER thing to add to my schedule...and it's not even the school year yet!

That starts the 25th...I'm not very excited. I'd prefer to remain in summer. I love how laid-back summer is. I enjoy doing whatever I darn well please. School...pretty much prevents that.

Also, school seems to suck every little bit of creativity out of me. All I can think of is, "I have to get that homework done!" or, "STUDY!!!"

On a side note...

You know how I was complaining about the graininess of my pictures a few posts back? Well, I finally read some reviews on my camera to see what I should do...Turns out, I simply had to lower the ISO because Fujifilm automatically sets its ISOs high.

Not knowing much about technical things about cameras, I didn't really know what an ISO is, but now I do!

I lowered the ISO, and now my camera has been taking some lovely pictures. This pleases me.

Band and recent happenings?

Oh, hey there.

I'm sorry I've been kind of neglecting this lately.

I'm thankful we finally have a couple followers.

Anyways, marching band camp has started. It's from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, with an hour long lunch break in between. Basically, it's like school, only you just practice instruments. Ben and I are in the pit (xylophone, vibraphone, cymbals, marimba, congas, etc.). It's kind of fun sometimes, but sometimes it's just so boring and frustrating. I'm probably the worst in the section because unfortunately, we've been playing a lot of chromatic scales. I play the vibraphone a lot, and it's larger than the glockenspiel, which is what I played for most of last year, which makes it difficult for me to get used to, causing my difficulties in playing the chromatic scales.

Bleh. I'm too lazy to write anymore. I'm busy planning a friend's birthday celebration! Eeee!
