Week of March 27th, 2017, what is sleep again????

Monday, March 27th
Today spent a portion of time just generally working on les mis project and the renaissance project. 
Whoops

Tuesday, March 28th

Today spent time straight up practicing after school, and then working on the ted talk out line and the basics of this. 

I started working on my tosses and ensuring my hands were in the right spots. Today was difficult, Because I tried to destress from the Renaissance art project and the Les Mis Soundtrack Project. So I did tosses, and then when I got to guard I started straight up practicing doubles, and got a lot better in my opinion.  

Wednesday, March 29th

I spent this afternoon entirely working on the script for the ted talk, and then tosses. 

I practiced the routine, and specifically the weird under-toss. I took a little video with a great song. 

This has more vloggy aspects to it than my other vlogs. 

Musci: The Distance (by cake)

Thursday, March 30th

I spent this afternoon on my ted talk, and I went outside for thirty minutes. 

I was able to make my doubles even more consistent, and I cut most of the ego out of my blog.

It's pretty cool watching the wednesday video. (I love cake)

Friday, March 31st

I spent after school inside working on my ted talk. I have it all planned out, and it's just editing and memorizing. 

I went to a jazz festival, where I won a solo award! I know this is technically bragging. But I went up to retrieve it in knee-high brown socks, needless to say I didn't think I was going to get anything, so that night we got back late to the high school, around 1 am, and I fell asleep around 2. 

Not a lot of practicing went on that wasn't devoted to the competition

Saturday, April 1st

The competition today was the last before champs. Our championships are on next saturday, April 8th. Today I ran into the friend that convinced me to join outdoor in the first point. When my friend Ash had called me, I was sitting next to a friend that was in his outdoor and indoor drum line. He convinced me to join up asap, so I was trying to show him how I've improved and just generally thank him. It turned out he didn't see the show, but I got to see a friend and that was nice.

The competition gave me a lot of time to think about leadership forms. And I talked to the people that had said in the past wouldn't respect me. I talked to them one-on-one. And they were a lot nicer.

In the past they basically said they wouldn't respect or listen to me, and I just wanted to make sure they knew that I didn't think I would get it. I still don't think I will on a matter of seniority. But I want to make sure that they'll still be my friends, becuase my guard family is important. Tonight I had a sleepover with some friends and also stayed up around 3 am. 

What is sleep?

Sunday, April 2nd

Because of my lack of sleep I got sick. Like nauseous, headache, the works. I couldn't work on anything. I tried doing spins and then I just went outside and practiced. I tried to take some of the stress of the looming tuesday away. It was also announced that leadership applications were now due by the latest on Tuesday after guard practice.  I haven't handed in my leadership application for guard captain, and I'm pretty sure the due date was pushed because no one else had. Funny isn't it?
