A funny story about me and pep band. I'm addicted in a very bad way. I signed up for it first in eighth grade; because I could. It wasn't really my thing, but I didn't mind it. I then signed up for it as a freshman. By this time, however, I started to get more and more homework and was pressured into playing in an ensemble. But, everything was alright with me. I had a friend with me to lessen the boredom of the game. Then came sophmore year, by the time of which I had more homework and two ensembles. This is about the time I had sworn off ever joining pep band ever again. Junior year it took me two days after I had signed up to feel the horror of what I had done. Oh yeah. It was bad. Two ensembles and more school-related stress than I had at any other time in my life. It was exactly the wrong mixture of boredom and stress. This year I figured it all out a lot sooner. It only took me one hour after I had signed up. The good news, however, is that I have less homework now and am only in one ensemble and have friends who joined pep band. And, of course, there is the extra bonus of being able to split my share of pep band with Emily (who actually wanted to be in pep band). I hope this is the end of my foul addiction. |
