So lately my body has been doing weird things. For a while I would not be able to sleep for a long time and then wake up quite early. This isn't so bad except that I know I need my sleep to function. It's just one of the lessons I've learned with going to school. Now it feels like I'm never awake. Ok, I love sleep just like the rest of us, but too much all the time is getting me annoyed. I wouldn't complain so much if it didn't involve my memory. The more I sleep the more I seem to forget. I can't remember what's happened the last couple of days very well. I remember Yesterday quite clearly, even though I did sleep from about noon til 4:30. Also included in this mess is the headaches and dizziness. Right now I have one of those headaches you get when you cry too much. The headache makes me want to sleep more to make it go away. The dizziness I can handle. It's not terrible, just a little bit annoying when I have things to do, which doesn't really happen, so we're good lol.
Anyways now to recap my day Yesterday (Since it's the one I can remember lol)
Well, first we got up bright and early to head to the fairgrounds for the rocket launch. Daniel has been building rockets for 6 years now. This year's rocket was really cool and pretty big. I enjoyed hanging out there with my uncle and some of my favorite cousins, chillin' waiting for the rockets to go off. Daniel was in the third set to shoot off. Unfortunately, his rocket's engine blew up into the rocket, causing it to fl up a little bit and come crashing back down in a cloud of black smoke. I renamed said rocket as "Drop it like it's Hot". Daniel was kinda sad that his rocket was crushed where the engine is inside it and if he were to turn it in there would be a lot of work to do. But, when getting his scores back, he decided that it wasn't worth it to turn in. If he were to fix it up, paint it, turn it in, and get 100% on it, because of the flight score, he would only receive a White or a C. So now he's happy because he's not going to have to finish it, but he gets to use the parts for next years rocket. There were quite a few great moments that I enjoyed during that morning.
Then we got out pictures taken for fair passes. Yay...
I proceeded to sleep for several hours on returning home.
Then at 7:00 was the Valleyaires chapter show featuring Instant Classic and Vocal Spectrum. OMG love it :) I always find the chorus part annoying and dull, but I've never been a fan of choruses. Instant classic is fantastic. They are an amazing college quartet and will be amazing as a men's quartet as well. I can't wait to see how they do in Portland at the International competition in a month.
Vocal Spectrum is one of my favorite all time quartets. They do amazing vocal work. They were the winners at International in 2006.
After the show is the afterglow, where we eat "food" and by "food" I mean "food-like substances". The afterglow is cool because the feature quartets are more likely to do competition stuff or they're favorite pieces that they don't do on stage.
After the afterglow is the after-party. This is awesome because you get to see the quartets just hang out and sing tags with the chorus guys. It's like watching your favorite band or singer just chillin with the fans and singing other songs. Or your favorite sports star just hanging out with the fans throwing a ball around. Daniel was sooo excited. It's so good to see him finally singing. For years he wouldn't sing in the car or anything, and now he's excited to get in the barbershop game. He could be awesome and take it really far. He's still so young so he has plenty of opportunity to learn and find a quartet to compete with. I'm proud that he's finally opening up.
