about an hour later (in thought)

About an hour after i posted the last entry, I realized that I won’t be able to do it next summer anyway. I’m supposed to go to Europe with the Vocal Jazz Ensemble, and I don’t want to pass that trip up. It is cheaper than DCI, and it allows me to work in the other parts of the summer including the band camps I work at.

well, i do
