Toodle de doop SQUEAK

Ok, I've given up on getting you guys to comment on my last entry. I'm about to run off to a band thing on another base for THE WHOLE DAY!! I'M MISSING WORLD REGIONS!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah. Yesterday we had our lovely band concert, where we trooped out on stage to not-so-thunderous applause, and played our songs, not as badly as the Christmas concert. The drama people (Kirsten and company lol) were putting on an act from their play during the middle of it, and they were attempting to represent a crystal ball with a hamster ball. At the beginning I vaguely heard Jacob say, "Is that a HAMSTER wheel?!?" but I didn't pay much attention, so at the middle I was suddenly like "Is that a HAMSTER wheel?!?" And he's like omg your so slow Rachael. heh heh. It was good though, and I got pineapple at the end. Mmmmmm....

ANYWAYS...

Today. Yeah. Back now from band field trip. We got on the bus after fetching our instruments from the band room, and headed over to the USO to catch the shuttle to Coleman Barracks. I sat next to Jacob on the way there, and when we got there, they stuck us in the sections we would normally be in, with the Army Band. It was nice, because they are actually a band, rather than our pathetic excuse for one, and it reminded me of band at East. Large, and they can actually play. So i got put with their first clarinet, Tristan with their second, and Jacob with their two thirds. I lucked out, needless to say, getting the good looking one, but by the end, I'm not sure it was worth it. They were all insanely good. I would just look back at Jacob while we were playing, and we would raise our eyebrows and shake our heads. We didn't even deserve to be in the same room as those people.

Then we split up to get our individual section lessons from those with our instruments, and it wasn't to bad, though they wasted most of our time trying to get us to sing our notes before playing them. Yeah right.
We went to lunch at the mess hall place that my dad had taken us to on Thanksgiving for the Army Dinner, and got lunch, which was actually pretty good and made us all mourn the loss of a cafeteria. By then, we still had two hours left. So we went bowling. Muah hahahahahaha....

Jacob got an 180. Four strikes in a row, and two before that. Ugh. Not fair. I was bowling with no socks and a blister, because genius me decided to wear flip flops that day. Do you know how gross that is?

The rest of the day was devoted to chasing down the ice cream man, and catching the bus back. The ride back my mind went blissfully blank, and I really wasn't thinking about anything, except how much I want to go home. To Traverse. To you guys. Jacob asked if I wanted to go see a movie, but nothing good was playing so we scratched that. I needed to go home anyways. Saturday, we've got a soccer game in Vilseck, and we have to be at the school at 4: 45 A.M. Tell you anything?
