Regionals

Hey did you know I made region band? Neither did I until yesterday. Turns out someone dropped out four days before the thing was scheduled to take place. So three days ago (yesterday) I was told that I had the opportunity to go as an alternate. Yay! That's the best news anyone could get right? Well they told me while I was busy stressing about the quizzes and tests and skit that I was supposed to be studying for today and I near had a breakdown. Man, I don't even know. Like if someone told you you won the lottery right before you were going to play basketball for reals or something. I passed two quizzes, failed one, fell asleep but somewhat completed a test, performed fairly well in the skit, and gave a presentation about a game server today. I filled a whole page of notebook paper with check marks and I don't even remember what half of them were for now. There's a slight throbbing in the back of my head right now. I think a nap is necessary.

Quite a Mindful

I wish I was smarter sometimes. Like in that movie where the guy took a drug and he unlocked the other 90% of his brain or something. You would think that people would use more than 10% of their brain, I mean call us the millennial generation or any other nickname, but I don't think humans are that stupid.

My brain hurts. A better way of saying that is I thought I could handle everything and so far it all seems okay but for some reason my head hurts. I've been going to bed okay early like 11:30 which is when I put my head down on the pillow, rather than start preparing to go to bed and all that. I've been thinking a lot about this girl  but I talk to her too so it's not that. Calculus and Physics and College Applications are rough like sandpaper but I'm not crushed under their weight yet so..I dunno. Maybe just more sleep. I've been praying a lot lately too. Situations seem to get more dire for people everyday. And when those people are close to me, those situations are close to me too. Maybe people could have like a backup brain to think regular everyday thoughts while the normal brain thinks about the important stuff. I think I have that backwards. My uncle says he has two stomachs, one for regular meals and the other for dessert. I know he's kidding, but the idea applies to hard drives and similar stuff right?
