This Wednesday I went to the LA County Fair with my high school marching band. And it was amazing! Before the we even left for the fair though I was busy everywhere helping my best friend (Alicia also the head drum major) get everything ready which includes hemming pants, sorting uniforms, polishing shoes, and combing the guy's hair. Yes I said guys. They all look like they belong in a boy band which means trouble for me. I'm the band's unofficial hair dresser so um yeah. I actually had to cut two kid's hair off because it wouldn't fit in the shako (our head gear). If I can't fix it, its to the scissors. Regardless I had so much fun. Our marching was crap though. Mega crap. But at least now our new freshman know our standards are high and better get off their bums and get serious about band. Either way it was crazy fun. I ate King Taco (Which are the best tacos in the world! Or at least in Southern California) and bought anime related stuff. Even our band director had fun which is eye opening for us. I bought me and Alicia matching Pokemon eveelosions necklace because were freaken awesome and completely nerdy about Pokemon. Annnnd by the end of the day I was so tired I knocked out in the bus.
My sister's first time marching
Moi is very photogenic
This is my last year competing in the fair with my band at the fair and it was amazing. I wish it could have lasted longer but I'm returning next year to help out. There not getting rid of me that easily >:) I'm defiantly not gonna miss the sweat after marching and defiantly not that smell on the us on the bus. (we smell like butt)
So instead of doing my Spanish AP homework I'm writing a blog post because why not. School is well on its way, the first month done (finally!) Buuut now comes the harder part. College Apps O.O Yes the benefits of being a senior mean doing all those dreadful applications and having that nerve-racking feeling of "What if I get rejected from every school?! No one wants me T-T" Oh just me? Okay.
Luis =^o^= He no like pictures xP
Anyways my thoughts so far of senor year are somewhat positive. I mean no matter what way you put it its still school. We're still lock up in a place for almost eight hours and forced to do what the teachers tell us even if we think it is completely useless in the outside word, eat semi-crappy lunch, and be denied the liberty to speak your mind with the consequence of being punished for it. But ya know, Go school! So all my classes are pretty alright with the exception of English 4 AP. THAT CLASS IS COMPLETELY DREADFUL. My teacher in that class is completely clueless in what he is doing and saying. This course (being AP) should be vigorous and difficult to pass right? Nope. We're not even on the leave of the regular English classes. We're below it. Yeah that bad. I have not written a single essay in that class while the other classes have written about three. Its horrible to the point where I can text my friend (Luis ^.^) in the same class while I sit literally in front of the teacher and he sits three desks back. That bad. Yeah. But the rest of my classes are all up to there standards so I mean there has to be a bad apple in the bunch. I just hate that it's English =__=
Since I'm in band, I've been going to all the football games at my school. Yaay *note the sarcasm* Don't get me wrong, I'd love to go to a football games...but where I don't have to freeze my ass off and play in the band. I love the band, wait that's going to far, I can stand half the band and not murder them, but still I'd like to go to a normal football game where I can be a normal teenager and dress nice and enjoy an outing with my friend. Just once. But no I live the band lyfe.

That pretty sums up my life up until now. Personal Statements are waiting for me. There haunting me, chasing me from the shadows, bloody little twats. But all worth it for a better happier life. The future awaits ♥

Salutations young people. Obviously you've managed to stumble upon my blog here. Welcome! :) So since I'm new at blogging and have somewhat of an idea of what I'd like to post about (working some ideas in my head that if I don't write down are doomed to be forgotten forever in the black hole that is my head) and am going to start with sharing a few things about myself that aren't very grand but make a huge difference in trying to express who I am and I believe that is important to share (that are not in the About section. Yes. I am aware I have one. I created it :P).
So lets begin with the basics!
My name is Natalie. Natt for short. I am seventeen years of age and am a senior in high school. I live in Southern California, a couple of minutes away from Los Angeles. I am five foot six, right about average height and weight one hundred and twenty pounds. I am the oldest of four children (Though it seems like there my own little annoying swarming children) My future major is Forensic Anthropology. (like the show Bones!)
Throughout my life I have done a few things that I am proud of such as being to say that I have been dancing Folkorico for fourteen years. Yes that's right. I have been dancing since I was three. (Let me have my moment pleeease) Dancing is a passion that runs through my veins. I will always dance if I have the chance. I was going to audition to a dance high school but then realized dancing isn't really what I would like to pursuit as a future career. Maybe as something on the side, as a hobby.
I also have been in band for nine years. I play a hand full musical instruments; flute and guitar being my two main instruments. I also play the piano, some violin, and used to play the accordion. (Yes I am aware how hilarious that sounds. It wasn't my choice but still got something out of those lessons...no I didn't) I am in marching band. I am proud to say my band is ranked one of the top sixty bands in southern California. Yesssssssss. We attend every major parade in Southern California including Arcadia Band Review, a major milestone for my director and my school. PS. My best friend is Drum Major! Yay Alicia!
I am also in a mariachi. Where I learned how to play guitar was in a little dusty garage with a 22 year old quirky lady. Her older sister teaches violin. And their youngest sister takes lessons from both of them. I play an instrument called a viduela, a smaller higher pitched guitar. We get gigs every once in a while and get our fair share of money out of it. Its a pretty sweet deal. I ended up creating a little family there for it was my sanctuary for some time. You know how family is: the loved sister, that hated person you never want to talk to, the know it all, and the rest that are too distant you really don't know all that well. Go figure.
Now this pretty much sums up my life up until now. These hobbies and school work take up all of my time really. (Which means I have some what of a life. Hooray for not being a total loser!) Now that I've told you wonderful people a bit about myself and completed my first blog post, like the procrastinator that I hate I am at times, I now must attempt to finish my summer assignment for my English AP class. Oh the wonderful life of an AP student. The Wuthering Heights here I come. Please be pleasant! *crosses fingers*
