Another Week in Starkville, Ms

Everything is starting to wind down to the end of another semester. Some homework has gotten me a bit busy, but surprisingly this week has been slow and a bit easy. I know that others are having to work extra hard because I have a friend who is an AIS major as well as I am and he has mentioned some of the few papers he is having to write. He in tech writing by the way. Tomorrow will be a fun day for me. I will be going to the the Tide game with the pep band. This is where I have been wanting to go. I want to see the field after reading about Bear Bryant in the book Coach. I had to read that book for my leadership class last spring. It is a good book, and I recommend it to every one who enjoys sports related books.

At the Arkansas game for the bands half time show we will be preforming the annual patriotic show. We will just be playing a few of the well know patriotic tunes. I know that part of  my holidays will be fun because I will get to play at the bowl game and at a good one according to these next few football games.  I hope that all of my readers have a great holiday season. When I find out some more news I will let you know about it next time.

More news from me

This week has been a busy week. I had to study for two test and start getting information for a career paper for Intro to AIS. One good thing about this week is that I am home for the weekend finally. I have unfortunately not been able to do that due to playing in the band at MSU football games. Everything is hopefully starting to slow down and somewhat calm down. There is some bad news in high school football. South Pontotoc is out of the playoffs after not scoring during their first playoff.

I did get to go to the Saint Jude trail ride at Long Bow Trails even though I did not ride. I went there for lunch and an auction. I was lucky and caught a free St. Jude t-shirt when they were thrown out during the auction. St. Jude did make a lot of money because there was a lot of people who came to ride, eat, and buy something at the auction. The auction made a lot of money because most of the items sold for at least fifty dollars and over.  This all of the news I have for this week.

Halloween

This has been a good week up until Thursday. That was when I began to have computer trouble when I was working with Windows Movie Maker. It was very frustrating trying to save my project when it was finished but would not save to my computer ready for the Internet. It got better when I found out that it was just an error with my video converter. It did not covert it properly son that I could save it for the Internet. Other than that things were alright this week. Yesterday was cool because we had our annual Halloween practice at band. I dressed up as Herman Munster from the Munsters tv show or for those of  You who don't know who that is he is just Frankenstein. After our practice we had contest to see who was the most creative, weirdest, best fictional character, and best real person. There was a lot of different people there was Indiana Jones, Futurama characters, a fat ballerina, Bumble Bee form Transformers, and a few other people and things. Today at the game we are going to preform our Halloween show and as I said last week we will dress up for the show. I think that it will be fun. I am hoping that the dogs will have another victory today because it will be cool and it will make my weekend a bit better. I happened to think of something else cool that is going on. It is holiday time and that is one of my favorite times of the year. I just enjoy celebrating the holidays with my friends and family it just makes me extra happy. I off hand do not know any other news to tell you so untile next week"Live long and prosper".

Mississipi State

This was a good week for me because I had some of my classes that were canceled.  Finally today the dawgs have won another game. I think that MSU is eligible for a bowl now that we have beaten UAB. Next week is the week of Halloween. It is going to be fun especially for band because we get to come in costume to practice Friday and will have a costume contest. The next day will be game day and the half time show for it will be the Halloween show that I have already told you about. It will be even greater because we will perform it in partial costume. I will tell you that I will be Jack Sparrow with the hat and wig. If I think of anything else cool that I think you would like to know I will tell you next week.

More news from me

I just finshed another week at Mississippi State after a great fall break. I just found out that South Pontotoc unfortunately lost their game with WaterValley, but I think that over all that they are having a great football season. Today we will find out if State will win over Dan Mullen's old school, The Florida Gators. I think that the dawgs will win because the Gators have not been doing good lately with winning.
On another note my break was great because on Sunday I attended a church home-coming just outside of the town of Sardis. I saw several of my dad's family that I had not seen in a long time. The church that we went to was one that was built by slaves. It had a balcony for the slaves to sit. On Monday I had time to go with my dad to trade day at the Agricenter in Pontotoc. I saw some nice things and some things that I would not buy. Some of the things were cool such as the old tools that they had and a picture of the old town square that was only $8.00 dollars. I did make a purchase of two Star Trek figures, one was from Voyager and the other from Deep Space Nine. I got them for only 50 cents each which I think that they could be worth more because of what they are and how old they are. My dad bought himself an axe.
I have been watching the Auburn and Arkansas game throughout the day and it is getting interesting because it started out going back and forth between the Razor Backs and AU. But now  it has turned out to be Auburn's game especially because it is almost over. Auburn won the game.  I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.

My weekly update

This week was alright for me. This week has been busy with testing and studying. On the thought of  band it was great because we just learned our Halloween show for Halloween. We will be playing Monster, Frankenstein, and Ghostbusters. I think it will be great. You will have to come to the game before Halloween to see it. Spots so far this week have been good because South Pontotoc won another game at home against Nettleton. Hopefully State will win against Huston tonight. I am glad that this weekend is a long one because we have fall break this weekend through Tuesday. On another not I am glad that the weather has cooled off. It makes band better because I don't have to fight the heat so and it is also great weather for hunting. It is about time to go deer hunting which is one of the things that I enjoy a lot especially with my mom and dad. I don't know much more to tell you, but if I find out more I will tell you next week in my weekly blog.

Another week in in sports and band

This has been a great week in sports. My old high school, South Pontotoc had their homecoming yesterday against Mooreville and won once again. Also today we had the battle of the land grants or Mississippi State Vs Alcorn State. We had a great victory which made the weekend better for me. Band was great this week because we did not have to learn a new half time show. What we did was perfect the 90's show that week previously preformed. It turned out to be a great show especially because we were able to see ASU's band preform. They had a great show. One thing that I liked about that show was that every one played out especially the low brass section or the trombones, tubas, and baritones. They also had some groovy dance moves. We had some cool line dancing that we did for Achy Brakey Heart.  I don't know much else to tell you. One thing I know that I am happy to get a break when fall break gets here.
