The Days Ahead- Anticipation

13-15 March 2015- Band Camp Bans me from sleep

The start of the holidays was not really a great start for me. Holidays more like homework-filled days. Oh gosh, I definitely knew that what else could the holidays offer me besides more and more homework. I guess I could not complain because these were all my choices. I have decided to join band, come to this school so why else could I say.

I just feel that we need the occasional breather and break away from school work and I always thought that the holidays would be able to fulfil my hopes for this holiday- to get a long break from the hectic school life. Yet, it didn't seem that possible after all. How much I wished that I could just laze on bed until 10am before getting a good breakfast to start the day. No such chance, man. Continue dreaming, Owen. My holidays were all ruined..... (The way I saw mine at least)

Day 1- Band Camp episode 1
Awghhh gosh, I woke up to the dumb alarm ringing. I slammed the alarm off but it didn't seem to work. Another round of annoyance came soon after. And I really mean soon. In 3 minutes, I was up and totally not ready to go to school. On the bus, I fell asleep again and oh my, I almost missed the bus stop which I was supposed to stop at. Luckily for me, my mom's message woke me up. I guess that shock did wake me up slightly but my willpower wasn't helping. The sleep demon came to me and haunted me before I got to school and saw my friends again. Abd this time, I wasn't really looking forward to it not because I didn't like them or anything thing along I the line (don't get me wrong) but I was just physically drained. Band made me wake up at 8 and go home only at 6. And it was only the start of the day, gosh. I still have a long way to go. At around 10, I found my escape to band. Oh gosh , we had frozen desert and popcorn. It may not have been that fun but at least it was better than sectional practice. I mean the song was played like god knows how many time and I'm sick of it. Disgusted, maybe. Getting back from the fair, I guessed we had a hide and seek game because we were too scared to go into the band room and when we eventually did, we just stood there like statues and woots we went in for nothing. After that, there was stage movements and it was boring just walk up and walk back down. What do you expect from that? Boredom.
Dragging myself along, I could barely even stand properly. I guess it is the after effects of having too many days at school.

Day 2- Part 2 of Band. Better or maybe not

Day 2 of the holidays was guess where ? Of course, at school. 196 has officially became the bus I detest most now. Why on earth do we have to go back to school 3 times when string ensemble only has to twice ? Why? Please enlighten me . It was officially band for the whole day, and I tell you this, not fun again. Camps were supposed to be fun but definitely not this one. Enough of Day 2 . I'll save more to write on for Day 3 because I think you'll love to hear it more and so will I lobe to write it more. :)

Day 3- The break free. Whoooo!!!

Day 3 of band was also known as the last day of band and we were finally done with band. But we still had about 8 hours more to go. Oh no. We had to practice for 8 more hours. Nooo. I'm so sad. Ok, that's enough of complaining. I should be happy. Yay. Ok so for the third day we had practice in the morning and after that, we had to go for rehearsal. I hates the rehearsal because we have to move our instruments up and down. And ahem ahem, I play the tuba. Finally, blah blah blah, I play music and conductor likes it and we were so close to going home when the assistant conductor just had to make us play the song over again. I hate you for doing that but because you're nice, I'll forgive you. Don't say I'm petty ,ok , cos I'm nice. Too nice for all of you.
We were done surprisingly early and I did not ditch Winston which I'd loved to but because I am such a good friend，I did not.

Ok so this is the end of my band camp. I like playing my instrument but no I still like my sleep more. Thursday and Friday, come faster because I need you so badly, in particular my sleep. If you have bad holidays like mine, share it below. I'll update the next part later and I'm sorry for not publishing for so long but thanks for the 350+ reads!!! :)
