Living on an Empty Dorm: Final Day

So today was my last day on the dorm, and it was graduation day. I woke up at 5:30 for breakfast at 6 only to find out that our band director had unintentionally lied to us band kids and that food would not be served until 7. At 7 we were supposed to be heading down to the football stadium to set up at 7:30. So I went back to my dorm and got dressed for performance and headed to the stadium after watching a few muppet videos on YouTube. There it was muggy and cold for the entire commencement, with a few rain drops falling sparsely, so that my bassoon almost got wet. But that was ok, we were given a poncho for if it rained, and I had already decided that it should go on the instrument first, because I can get over a cold, but my instrument cannot recover from water damage. During commencement we played Pomp and Circumstance for a good 20 minutes, and then had to play 5 other songs throughout the service. It was over by half past noon, and we put our instruments away for the summer. I then went back to my dorm where I scrubbed until my parents showed up to pack the van. We did that, and then I slept in the car for 2/3 hours and then we unloaded. Now i'm relaxing in my room, ukulele in hand, and water at my side. Tomorrow we're up and out by 5:30 to head up to Massachusetts! I'm so excited ;)

Silly in the Tilley

So today was spent going in and out of the Tilley after church. While Taylor was doing his laundry we went to the Tilley center to check on the Redskins game. When we went to leave, Taylor had decided that there were just enough people there to try something silly. So as we were walking out the door, Taylor whistles as loud as he can the mockingjay song from The Hunger Games and everyone in the Tilley center whistles it back at different intervals and it sounded just like the movie. After we got Taylor's clothes out of the dryer we went back to the Tilley with my roommates to play soccer and go swimming (I only made one goal on Taylor, he made almost 20 on me). While we were in the hot tub  we met a nice guy who lives only 15 minutes from me and went to OPHS. As we're talking to this guy, my roommates get up out of the water and start dancing. I felt left out, so I got up and joined them. I bet we looked hilarious. Note to self: Roommates are your best mates.

Snakes.... too many snakes

Dreams can be a troublesome, torturous, dreadful thing. So here, internet; my worst nightmare. I was running around the kitchen doing a bunch of tasks like in those time management games; every so often running into another room to press a button on the wall. I didn't know what the button did, but there was a screen above it which showed me my next task in the kitchen. After a few rounds of running I forgot to press the button, and when I went to press it the screen was red. I went back to the kitchen to try and keep going, but i heard a hissing coming from the stove. When I turned to look at what was making that sound ("maybe I left the gas on?") I saw a small head with bright eyes lying on top of a heap of beheaded snakes. I realized that their heads had been chopped off by a guillotine every time I pressed the button. I turned to run, but it followed me, and two more were already coming out of the wall. The one I had first seen was preparing to attack, rising and spre...
