Marching season- August - December

Marching season was one of the band's best seasons, and I enjoyed it as an ensemble. If you are unsure of what marching season is it's a season where instead of sitting down and playing music off a paper. We have to memorize the whole of the music which is a march. Then we march for completion against other schools that are in class A band. We are rated on four things our marching, our playing, our citizenship, and tuning. Now you may ask why you would want to do marching band when u have to wake up at 5:00 and our call time is 6:00. Honestly it's just something I like to do for fun I enjoy working hard and pushing myself. The band isn't easy but once you get good at it it's one of the funniest things to do. One of the fun parts about is hanging out with friends and making friends that are much older than you. And getting to play together as a duo for a solo ensemble.

It was the end of the year 8th grade activities it was so fun and amazing food. Honestly can't go out with my girlfriend yet because they hate me. But I will never blame them for hating me. Because if I had a kid and she had a bf I would flip out. But going back to Knotts I had so much fun and I never got to go out with her. Honestly, I was supposed to hang out with my friends that day but we both ended up ditching them. I was I little sad about that but it's okay I had a lot more with her. We did so much that day we walked got food went on rides it's a day I will never forget. And it was just so important because I couldn't see her for two months. And that was like hell but Knotts before all that helped a little bit just to cherish that moment for a while.

I went Camping In the Summer - July 15-19

Camping is one of the funniest things to do in the summer. Since it's so hot what I like to do is go up in the month in the cold and sleep outside. The best part is to look at the stars at night. They're all so bright and pretty and u can see all of them. One of the scariest things about that place is going out in the mental when it's cold there are wolves. But it's the best spot since there are no trees. I would wanna go into the forest but who knows what's out there let's be so real. Sleeping at night wasn't even hard at all it was so easy because there's a rule where the youngest one has to chop wood. And god I never fell asleep so fast. but the drive to get there is 8 hours and it sucks I hate it so much like the day before I slept and I only got 2 hours of sleep and never slept after that because I couldn't that was hell. But was everything worth it yes it was.

I got my first ever Gaming PC July 22

My first-ever gaming PC was the best thing I ever got for gaming. And it is one of the most expensive things I have. Once I first got my PC I was on my birthday it was just the best feeling ever like oh my god. I was jumping and running in joy and just speechless. I got home and I was sad. After all, I couldn't set it up because I was going to my grandma's after. But after a late night when I got home, I was unboxing it. Honestly unboxing a brand new PC is the best feeling ever. when I played on it I was so happy. After all, I could play other games because with my laptop I had no storage and the performance wasn't the best. So with the more frames I had, I was playing a lot better than I was before in any other game.

My Christmas of 2024

My Christmas was the best one this year to be a house like I got everything I wanted. Now I did get all As and I never got that before so my parents were proud of me. So I asked for clothes that I like a new phone and AirPods and a nose trimmer. And those were the main things I wanted I know I got other stuff but these were the best they could ever be. When I got everything I wanted I never could ask for more It was such a good day for me I loved it. And hanging out with my family was fun too and I enjoyed it a lot. We had a bunch of food and went home taking leftovers. And if I could re-live that day I would do anything for that type of feeling again. I am very happy and grateful that my parents did get me what I wanted. And I tried my hardest too get my grades so now that there proud Im happy.
