A long day of camp

Today there were some very good times to be had during the first official day of band camp. A very hot day, hitting about 90 degrees and about 96% humidity ending with a huge rain storm, which, sadly did not deter practice. I feel icky and sweating and dirty and gross and i just want to take a shower. It was a really slow moving day and I am very tired and thinking now would be a good time for a movie. Uhhh, today felt very slow, we began by marching for a really long time; the only interesting part was when this kid started to puke on the field, which was gross and enteraining...that is from a distance, I have big issues with vomit up close. Once Jessica was like "Take Amanda into the bathroom, she feels like she is going to through up," and I wanted to be like "no way, I can't handle vomit," but I'm pretty much the color guard whore that will do anything that the coaches say, so I took her in, but I was standing at the bathroom door, trying to comfort her without getting too close. Anyway, this kid was like coughing and gagging on the field and Mr. Bird was a little freaked out, it was funny. Then we leaning the dance part and worked on the 'Fite Song', this is going to be a long week. Oh, by the way, I was reminded of Derrick today and I thought about him for most of the morning, pathetic, I know. I need to take a shower, but I think that I will come back and explore that a little more after that.
