Wednesday
i woke up, warmed up, and played my departmental with a few minor mess-ups, but nothing horrible. franklin, ben, jennifer what's-her-face and i left in the afternoon, arrived in the evening and chilled. i began reading Miles: The Autobiography.
Thursday
was woken up at what i later found out was 8:00 AM. i ate eggs, bacon and biscuits, and went back to bed. i went over to Franklin's grandparents' house and played pool and drank Dublin Dr. Pepper. the big meal was lunch, and we had turkey, stuffing, all the usual stuff, plus croissants and pumpkin rolls. after the great stuffing, we played Forty-Two, which is a trick-winning dominoes game. We went back to Rancho de Franklin, then played more Forty-Two.
Friday
i slept in, practiced and read more of Miles and played Forty-Two until we went to a local restaurant in town. after eating, we visited Franklin's high school band director and went back to Rancho to get ready for VARMINT HUNTING. i got a raccoon within the first half-hour, and somehow i still maintain my relationship with elizabeth. she's left a stuffed raccoon in my room to remind me of what i've done.
Saturday
i did a lot of reading and finished Miles, as well as practicing, a little transcribing, some review for physics (oh crap i have a test tomorrow) and watched most of Van Helsing, which is a horrible movie.
Sunday
went to Franklin's church in the morning, ate some awesome combination fried crawfish and crawfish etouffee at a restaurant called the Llaneaux in Llano, TX. then i drove back to Denton (with a stop along the way to get four six-packs of Dublin Dr. Pepper) and hung out with Elizabeth.
three more weeks. it's the home stretch.
