This will be my final graded post for the year. I honestly like blogging, but I just never seem to get around to doing it. I have a tumblr, so I think I am going to try and keep in the habit for the next year before AP Lit begins. :) I am pumped to be a senior, as I have said before. Well, Chris is reading over my shoulder, so I guess I will stop writing now.

Within the last week.
This last week has really made me realize how close I am to graduating. I got my class ring and my letterman jacket last Wednesday, which was super exciting! I still need someone to be my 12th turn to "lock in" my ring. ;) I really love my ring, even though it is messed up and I may t have to send it in to get it fixed, as it is missing my cross and bible on the inside, and I really want Herff Jones to fix their mistake. I also took the SATs which really were not nessisarily that hard, they were just long and I did not get the sleep I should have the night before. I still have time though, luckily! So, as first semester of junior year draws to a close, I am very excited to finish school! These things made me realize how close I am!

Schoolio Coolio
School seems to always be stressing me out lately. The only class that I am even remotely worried about is Math, just because this whole semester has been terrible. I really do not like all of the trig that is invovesd with it. I know AP Calc. next year is going to be a pain, but I am sure I can take it. I have confidence in myself that I can do the work, I just can not be nomally am, which is kind of hard. I tend to busy myself talking with my friends that are far away, which is probably not the best descision. I guess this week will be dedicated to studying for finals, which again I am not worried about except for math. I guess I shall see what happens!

So apparently..
So, apparently I am six bogs behind on what I am required to have. It seems like have not had time to breathe, much less blog in the last couple of weeks. I knew December was going to be a busy month, and I was right. This month has been one of the busiest in the longest time, and marching band is over! InterAct as well as band has been keeping me busy, and as well as having a life. ;) Well, I guess I am on to the next, :)

BLOG.
I am really getting bad with this whole, blogging thing. I know I have said it before, but I really need to buckle down and do it. Which may be hard considering I have a million things to do, and hardly any time to do them in. I guess it will be okay though, I mean only a few more days until the end of the semester, then only three more until graduation, which seems far away, but in reality it is much closer than I think. I am both nervous and excited for that day to come.
Besides all of that, my Thanksgiving break was pretty awesome, as I hope everyone else's was. It went by way to fast, but I got to spend quality time with my family and friends. I also got a taste of who my real friends were over break, and who might actually be allot better than I originally thought. My highlight of the break though was my trip to Athens to the Georgia vs. Georgia Tech game! It was an awesome experience, mainly though because the DAWGS WRECKED TECH! It was a great game, even though I felt like I was going to freeze to death. It was also a good game because we pulled off a surprise of getting my brother's best friend Adrian to Athens to watch Jeremy's final game. What a GREAT nine days it was!
Back to the reality of school and life though...12 and a half days!!!!!!!!
can you feel the excitement?

SATs?
This Saturday, I will be taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test, SAT as most people call it for the first time. It isn't really that I am nervous, it is just simply that this test can determine which college I get into, which affects my entire life. My career, and my entire future can depend on this one test that I will be taking bright and early Saturday morning. I really hope that I can do well on it, I should be able to. The only thing that I am particularly worried about is the math section. I really don't like math at all, so knowing that that is almost half of the test is kind of stressing me out, but I think I can manage. Anyway, wish me luck!

So much work, so little time. I have come to the realization recently that I am the biggest procrastinator in the history of procrastination. I always feel much better after accomplishing the task at hand, yet I still seem to stop and do other things before I get my work done. This habit needs to be broken as soon as possible. Which, obviously isn't going to be easy considering I just stopped typing this particular blog just because my phone rang. I have Othello work, the website, spanish, math, and band stuff I need to get done. The next three weeks are really going to test my stress levels, but hey 12 and a half days until Christmas break, can we say PARTAYYY? Anyway, I'm off to do this, say a prayer, I will need it.

weekend.
This weekend was so much fun. I got to relax and spend time with my family and friends. Thursday was a day with the family in Savannah where I got some new clothes and just chilled. We went to this yogurt place on Broughton Street that was Ahmazing! simply because you choose your own toppings and then you weigh the ice cream and depending on how many ounces it is, you pay 45 cents per ounce. Friday was pretty chill as well, spent it with Delyna and then I went bowling with my youth group, which was interesting to say the absolute least. Saturday I spent with Allison:) (Smiley), my best friend that lives down the street that I feel like I have not seen in forever! We went shopping, got sushi, and watched the Georgia vs. Auburn game, which was just plain dirty! Today was awesome as well, because I got to see some friends that I have not seen in what seems like forever! Thanks to Josh for the awesome cookout. :)
well, that was my weekend:) comment away;)

AMND Blog Assignment
Compare: Quince's prologue in lines 108 and following, Theseus' speech in lines 343 and following, and Puck's last lines of the play. Discuss the contradictions, sort out the similarities, and pose what you believe to be Shakespeare's point.
In each of these speeches made by Quince, Theseus, and Puck, are excuses and other reasons why the plays may not have been good, or why they may not have been enjoyable. Quince is apologizing for the fact that the players or actors of the play did not really do a good job, but that the play was not really for their enjoyment per say, but to offend them. Though he contradicts himself in the first two lines, Quince still makes a valid apology about how they were not there to impress. Theseus stated there should be no apology given because all of the actors died and no one should be blamed for the "stupidity" of the play, this is again contradicted though when Puck apologizes in the epilogue saying that they players were sorry if they had offended anyone an to please not give the serpents tongue. Skakespeare threw in some contractions and questions as to this play was bad or good, which in my opinion made the play allot more enjoyable as a comedy.

Blogginggg.
I seem to have forgotten that blogging is still a part of my grade. I am on the computer constantly, yet, blogger seems to be the last place I visit, when in all honesty, I enjoy blogging. It is rather entertaining to get all of my thoughts out in a paragraph, weather it be on a personal level, or more professional. Most of the time, my blogs intertwine, unless I am writing specifically about a certain topic assigned. I have never been the person to just write to write, but when I get started, it is pretty hard to stop. During high school, I have become quite verbose with my writing, though that does not always work in my favor. I seem to get the same information down in three pages that some can get down in a paragraph, but hey, I am not complaining! Anyway..I really need to get back into the habit of this. Maybe I will now that marching band is over. I cannot say that I am completely sad the season is over, that is allot less stress on my part. Yet, I am sad that I will not have something to do on Tuesday, Thursday, and most Friday nights. I haven't had a free one of those in forever. I am interested in doing winter guard though,so we will see how that pans out. Hopefully, I can fins someone that would be willing to do it with me! Other than that, I may play either soccer or tennis, even though I am probably one of the most uncoordinated people ever. Anyway, this blog I'm sure exceeds the word number requirement, so ta-ta for now bloggers;)

This week.
This week has been long already, and it is only Tuesday. I guess it may be because marching band is pretty much over except for the game this Friday.:( I am really gonna miss it, just because I do not know what to do with my life on Tuesday and Thursday nights, normally I do not get home until 7 on those nights, but now I am getting home at 3:35..which is SO early! I am sure some things will come up, especially with InterACT club and a few other extra-curriculars I am involved in. I am thinking about playing a sport, but I have not completely decided yet. I really wish volleyball was in the spring! I think I may play tennis, just because I don't want to play soccer. Right now I am watching tv though, so..I guess I will blog more later.:)

throw backs..
So, I was looking on my jump drive and I found a couple of pictures that were quite interesting and I thought I would share. Just kind of a preview of what my memory book will look like next year.:) More may be coming, so look out for them! It is really interesting to look back at us and how much we have grown, even in a short amount of time!

Math.
Yeah, I am totally not digging math this year. It really is not that much fun like it used to be, and it is harder than it used to be. I really just do not enjoy it as much as I used to. I am getting excited for AP calculus next year though, just because I know I can apply it to real life. I just wish my class would not have been the guinea pig for the new GPS math curriculum, but hey, some body has to do it. I just hope the graduation test is not as hard as Miss Heath has said. I am excited to get started on Math 4 this week, I hope I can do it better!

Sitting In Class.....
So, I'm sitting in class right now blogging on this net book. I am starting really want one, except for the fact that the net book keyboard is sorta small, but I know I would get used to it. Anyway, I haven't blogged in awhile, so I need to get back in the habit, and since I am being productive right now during class, this is my blog for today.
This past weekend the marching band had competition in Statesboro, Georgia. It was a pretty fun competition, even though it was their first. I was really excited to see one of my best friends from drum major camp, Jeremy Bonds. He is from Oglethorpe County High School which is in northern Georgia. We actually met last year at the Heart of Georgia competition in Warner Robins, when we talked all during retreat. Good thing I have learned how to talk on the field without Mr. Sohayda knowing! I personally thought that our band did really well on Saturday. We have such a young group that has improved so much since band camp. Though we could do better if scheduling issues were worked out, and if people were more dedicated to the activity. Our scores though reflected what we have been doing, even though we may have gotten the numerical score that we strive for, I believe we did very well, which is what matters. The thing I personally was most discouraged by was the fact that the drum major score dropped nine points from last week. I wish drum major judging was not so subjective, yet we have to take their comments and improve ourselves. I am really excited for next Saturday though, GO PANTHER MARCHING BAND! :)

I would like to make a point.
So, this week both Mr. Parker and Miss Heath are at a leadership training at Stone Mountain. While I know they are improving themselves and teachers and people, us students are left at school to do what we like to call "busy work" and not have any good instructional time for 4 and a half hours of 7 and a half hour school week. It is unfair to us to have that time wasted...even if we do have busy work and we are being taught by a computer recording, which again..I feel is so wrong and impersonal. Anyway, I do realize that this training is of great importance to the improvement of our School, and I appreciate that both Mr. Parker and Miss Health have been selected for the opportunity to be a part of what seems to be a wonderful program.
SO! Besides that, school this week should be pretty interesting in my other two classes. Spanish is always fun with Ms. Romero, as the people in my class always have some smart comment to make back to her, and because we are on the food chapter. Can anyone say partayy? Band is always my favorite class of the day, and Wind Ensamble auditions begin tomorrow. I am nervous, but I do not really have any competition. I am learning to love my horn more than I used to. I am ready for this week to be over...and it is only Monday. Oh well, gotta look at that glass half full instead of half empty. :D

So..
I haven't blogged in awhile..I really need to get back in the habit of doing that often again. I do like blogging...it just is not the first thing that comes to mind when I get on the computer..most of the time it is facebook. Considering though it is 11:00..allot of people are asleep..and my phone is deleting about 800 texts right now..I figured I could blog about my OUTSTANDING weekend. :)
Friday was Liberty's homecoming, I got all decked out in my homecoming gear and conducted at the two pep rallies. Both were really fun. :) The game did not go as well as I had hoped, considering we lost 21-7, but the band did AMAZING. Ware County's band...was interesting to say the least. Their leadership team was quite weird and unsociable,but I guess there are some people that just don't like to talk as much as me! After the game I went to huddle with Jessi, Melissa, Garret, and Trevor. They are all awesome. After...I went home and prepared to leave for Athens for their homecoming game. GO DAWGS!
I slept in the car considering we left at 2 a.m. and then got changed at ihop in Athens to get ready for gameday. We went to the red coats rehersal, where Mark Richt drove right past me, smiling and waving. I just gave him the sup nod. ;) After rehersal we went to the game, which was awesome. 43 - 0 BULLDOGS! :) What a great day to be a dawg fan! I also saw the new UGA, UGA VIII be dedicated to the team. It was such a cute ceremony! He gave us luck in his first apperence in Sanford!:)
It was a great weekend. Next week is competion. WE WANT SUPERIOR! GO PANTHER MARCHING BAND. :D

it's the weekend.
"sometimes you don't realize how perfect something is for you until it literally smacks you in the face" -a morgannkai tweet. :)
This weekend has been...pretty awesome. :)
Friday - Friday was the best day in forever. I had an alright day at school, and then when I came home my mom said that she was going to the PX on post, so I decided to go with. When I got there I saw Austin, and we decided that we would go sit in the food court and chill. We got churros...which were AMAZING!...and I realized how long it had been since I had sat down and actually talked to him. It made me realize that I miss some people that I used to be allot closer to. Then, after that I picked up Daniel and Trevor and went to McDonalds and the Bradwell game. Bradwell, of course lost...to a team that hasn't won in 3 years no less...and on homecoming....but the band did good after the game. :) I also gotta see all my bradwell buddies, which is always reason for a smile.
Saturday - Fun day chilling with Mom and Dad at the mall. Got some cool new shoes and a dress for my cousins wedding in December. I decided that if weddings get me totally awesome dresses, I really do like weddings. ;) Once I got home I watched the Georgia game, which was a heartbreaker. Thank goodness for AJ Green though, or it would have been an even BIGGER heartbreak. I was very plesantly suprised though that Alabama tore up the Florida gators!
Today - I woke up late, but still made it to Sunday School in a timely manner. :) Afterwords I went to Shane's with Delyna and then we saw "The Social Network" which is about the creation of facebook. It was kinda lame...one of those thinky movies. It wasn't to bad though. After that was over I went to youth and a hymn sing at church. both fun. Now I sit here...blogging, watching tv, eating, facebooking, and texting. Us teenagers can multitask! :)
anyway...looking forward to a good four day week. Football game on Thursday and competition on Saturday! :) Go Panthers! and GO BAND!

so this week in history....
This week has been long. Writing test, homecoming court elections, and class officer elections have all been this week. It has been pretty stressful, but I have made it though! It is Friday, finally. I am glad. It is also already beginning to feel like fall outside. I walked outside this morning and it felt great! It was nice and cool, I almost needed a jacket. Yeah, so this blog is sounding kinda lame....I am sitting in class listening to Chris, Kris, Brittany, Sheilah, Courtney, and Blaine talk about everything..but considering I have been lazy all week, I decided that I should go ahead and do this now, rather than later. Because last week, i completely forgot to do my acedimic blog...WHOOOOOOOOOOOPS! oh well, I will catch up before next Thursday, which is already the end of the first nine weeks. It seems like just yesterday we were beggining for the summer not to end, but everyone has finally gotten into the swing of things. So, I am probably gonna go to the Bradwell game tonight, rather than the Liberty game. Just cause I have to see my band besties in the Bradwell band. :) It will be fun, I'll try and remember to blog about how it goes. Anyway...I am kinda getting long winded with this blog so I think I am gonna write again later. :D

Blog Assignment 3

This image can be taken in many different ways. The three main characters each represent something that we may not necessarily think about at first glance. The young woman would normally represent purity within her high social class, being as she is white and has nice clothing on. Yet, because her dress contains the color red and green, she also represents impurity and envy. She is not the girl that she appears in society. The dragon in the photo represents evil and lust. The dragon has matching colors in its wings to that of the young woman's dress. This could mean that the dragon was attached to her in a way that was "inappropriate" and "evil". The knight represents the chivalry that was still alive in this era. He was trying to court the woman, but the evil of the dragon was standing in his way. This is why he tried to kill the dragon. The knight thought that if he could get to to the woman through the evil they could live happily ever after, even with her impurities. The whole picture is the natural battle between good and evil that is fought every day.

this week.
This week has been good. BIRTHDAYS are awesome! I cannot believe that I am 17 already, because it seems that it was only yesterday that I was still a little kid playing in the dirt. I used to think that 17 was so old, but now that I have reached it, it doesnt seem that way anymore. 17 is not the most important age, the only "special" thing you get is being able to go to R rated movies, which isn't to shabby. I will also soon be able to LEGALLY drive people, which is also kind of exciting. Growing up is pretty awesome..but also scary. I have been talking to friends lately and it seems like every conversation is about college, which honestly scares me. I mean, who in the world knows what they want to do with the rest of their lives at 17? Well, especially in my case, being in honors and all, EVERYONE knows already. This kind of makes me feel inferior, but I want to find myself before deciding on a career. I want to love my job. Having a birthday made me realize that these decisions aren't near as far away as I think.
I also got nominated for homecoming court this week, an AWESOME honor. I am so gald I have the oppritunity to even be on the ballot. I also made the decision to run for class president. LETSDOIT2012!!! :) I am very excited to do great things for the junior class, it is important thay we have good leadership. This week has been very good, I hope things only get better!

My name is Morgan Fermin
I promise I am not a vermin
Most of the time I am texting with my phone in my hand
Except of course, while I am at band.
I am the drum major of that group,
I make sure they march like a troop.
A ray of sunshine I have been told,
my personality, well, it is quite bold
I live for Saturday nights,
when i watch my Georgia Bulldawgs fight!
It never fails, I enjoy being a leader,
Even though honestly, I am not the most avid reader.
I am a band geek,
but honestly I am not a freak.
I spend a lot of time on facebook...just to say,
Maybe I will delete my account one day.
I have brown hair and brown eyes that shine bright.
I should really go to bed earlier at night.
I normally though don't do this because I am talking to my friends I made this summer,
not seeing them as often as I would like really is a bummer!
One of my favorite things is going to the beach.
I am so glad it is near and not out of reach.
I try to be at church every Sunday,
Well unless Saturday is competition day!
But anyway if you would like to know any more about me,
Comment on this blog, just feel FREE! :)

Yeah. :)
"Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened."-Dr. Seuss
^^That is the quote I have had to live by for the past couple of days. I have come to the realization that I can not live in the past, and that everything happens for a reason. I can not live thinking about how things could have been different, or if it would have happened at another time things would have worked out. You cannot live in the past, you must live in the present. It seems as if sometimes we really miss what we have had before, but we have to move forward and learn from the past. Also, we gotta realize that we gotta look at the positives in every situation, and keep on smiling! That is my little bit of optimism for the day. I have been told I am a ray of sunshine. ;)
Anyway, besides that...I should have done this earlier this week, but i honestly forgot about my blog this past week. It has been long, tiring, sad, and just rough. I am so glad I had my game and my birthday to look forward to. AND! Alpharetta next weekend to see Danielle. My bestesest drum major camp friend EVER. It's is gonna be rocking awesome. Hopefully I will get to see my friend Jackon as well. EPICNESS will occur over the next few days and weeks. :)

School Days.
It sometimes seem like school is pointless, and that is true in certain cases. Especially this past week as two of my teachers were away at a leadership conference. In Mr. Parker's literature class we began analyzing and reading the prologue of Canterbury Tales. The way that the characters are set up and the descriptions are very vivid and interesting. We as readers get to know the charcters from their descriptions, rather than from their actions as in most stories that we are used to. This is a very interesting characteristic of the novel. In math this past week we had to listen to Ms. Heath teach through the smart board and aural lessons. It was quite awkward, but kind of easier to follow, as the lesson seemed to be broken down more. I am excited to see what both of them will bring back to the classroom after being away at the conference, as Mr. Parker has already said that there were many great things to come. :)

10 more days!
In 10 days i will be 17! Whoa, that is a crazy thought! I am getting old. ;)
I can truly say though that 16 was truly sweet. I have met so many amazing people this year, completed so many goals, and also found out allot about myself. I have grown up this year, which is something that is important to me. Hopefully 17 will be just as AMAZING and OUTSTANDING as 16 was. :)
Side note, this past weekend was AMAZING. I went to the Georgia vs. Louisiana at Lafayette game in Athens. Though my seats were up in the stratosphere it seemed like, the experience of Sanford Stadium is like no other. Roughly 90,000 people screaming and cheering on our Georgia Bulldogs to a victory over another team. Another bonus is that my brother just happens to be the drum major for the Redcoat Marching Band, one of the most prestigious positions in collegiate marching band. Even more of a plus, I had the opportunity to see my best friend from Alpharetta, Georgia, Danielle. She is the drum major there and one of the awesome people i met this year. :) The game was a great experience, hopefully there will be more opportunities to go later on this year!
Also, I might as well throw in here that I have realized that is IS possible to be close to someone that lives far away. I did not realize that until this week. Things change, people in general, do not. Thank you Kaelan, Danielle, and Jackson for proving this to me. You guys ROCK. :)

I can truly say though that 16 was truly sweet. I have met so many amazing people this year, completed so many goals, and also found out allot about myself. I have grown up this year, which is something that is important to me. Hopefully 17 will be just as AMAZING and OUTSTANDING as 16 was. :)
Side note, this past weekend was AMAZING. I went to the Georgia vs. Louisiana at Lafayette game in Athens. Though my seats were up in the stratosphere it seemed like, the experience of Sanford Stadium is like no other. Roughly 90,000 people screaming and cheering on our Georgia Bulldogs to a victory over another team. Another bonus is that my brother just happens to be the drum major for the Redcoat Marching Band, one of the most prestigious positions in collegiate marching band. Even more of a plus, I had the opportunity to see my best friend from Alpharetta, Georgia, Danielle. She is the drum major there and one of the awesome people i met this year. :) The game was a great experience, hopefully there will be more opportunities to go later on this year!

Blog Assignment 1
Beowulf and Grendel are both characters in literature. Each of them have their own stories about certain events that occurred between them. If ever an event occurs between two people, there are three sides to the story. What one person says happened, what another person says happened, and what really happened. We see this statement play out within our reading of both perspectives of the heroes of their own novels.
In Beowulf, we read about the cocky character of Beowulf, an epic hero of sorts that boasted about his recent achievements in killing other monsters that had been causing problems. The monster that Beowulf was to fight was Grendel, who had according to the Danes been lurking around their land causing trouble and trying to kill them. When Beowulf heard of this monster he left his own land and crossed the sea to save Hrothgar and the Danes. Within our reading though, we do not hear the opinions of Grendel, we only hear one side of the story. Which sometimes is never as clear cut as it may seem.
In Grendel on the other hand, we realize that Grendel is a sad soul. He is the only person of his kind existing in the world. He is lonely and has no one to talk to about his thoughts and feelings of growing up in the era that he is. His mother is his only support system, yet, she can only seem to make random sounds, as she is so old that she has lost her sense of language. Grendel always seemed to keep his cool throughout his own novel. He would watch the Danes, and they annoyed him that they killed things just to eat them. He seemed to be very intelligent, something that Beowulf did not know. Grendel had certain reasons for wanting the Danes gone, yet, Beowulf just wanted to again be the "hero".
When Grendel and Beowulf fought, of course Beowulf was the winner in both novels. Yet, in Beowulf, it is stated that Beowulf beat Grendel with hardly a fight, and that the monster went down. Yet, in Grendel, Grendel states that he actually slipped, and that is when Beowulf was first able to capture his hand. So, both characters experienced the same thing, and told the same story, but the reader was obviously not there to see it. We have to choose what side to believe, or which side is more true. This decision though, is all up to the imagination of a reader that gets lost in time and the paper of a novel or two.

...so I'm in class?

drum major friends! josh, me, trevor, danielle, and taylor

group Y at RYLA. :) since im in band i was able to make the Y perfect...i did this without drill charts mr. parker!
O.G.R.E.S at HOBY. :)
Right now, I am sitting in class, writing a blog. This truly is the 21st century. The next blog I post is hopefully going to be from my mobile, I'm going to try and see how that works out.
I forgot to put in my previous post a few things. I guess I should elaborate on the fact that I have an interesting vocabulary. If i say baller, word, or legit to you, don't be offended. That is just one of the things that I do. I also forgot to mention some of my best friends and family.
Best friends: Delyna! Allison! Kaelan! Trevor! Sheilah! Danielle! Cory! :)
Family: Mom, Dad, Jeremy. :)
I also failed to mention that I am drum major of my band! It in so empowering to be on the podium in front of the band. It is such a great feeling to know that i am the leader of a great group of fellow students. Also, I hope to go to college in two years at the University of Georgia. GO DAWGS! I am not completely aware of what I want to pursue, but i know that I will figure that out in time.
Just one more thing..
I guess i should have talked about this in my first post, but...EH.
This past summer was the best summer ever. I met so many great people and had so many great once in a lifetime experiences. The first seminar I attended was HOBY, the second UGA drum major camp, and the third RYLA.
HOBY! -(Hugh O'Brain Youth Leadership) This seminar was held the first weekend of June at Georgia Southwestern University in Americus, Georgia. I arrived at 7A. M. sharp to roughly 20 teenagers banging on my car welcoming me to HOBY. I had a feeling that this weekend was going to be fun, but i had no idea how OUTSTANDING it would be. I learned so much about myself through seminars, and what i can do to be a change in the world. "be the change you want to see in the world" Gandhi. I learned that i am an eagle personality type, meaning that i am direct and do not really care about feelings. I also learned that I love meeting and talking to different kinds of people. Facebook has allowed me to stay in touch with all these amazing people across the state, and each of them had their own story. I am so glad that I was able to represent Liberty County High School at this conference. It was the most OUTSTANDING experience of my life. Even if we did ride that pony and make fun of crutches. I miss all my team mates(triple M best friend especially), the O.G.R.E.S. (our team really equals success) and a couple of other people i got close to throughout the weekend. It was definitely one of the highlights of my summer.
UGA drum major camp - WHOA! These five days were some of the best of the summer. I learned so much about being a better conductor and how to be a better leader. Along with classes, I was able to talk to and meet other drum majors from across the state. All of them are such amazing people. I still talk to two of them almost daily. Both are from Fulton county though, so I cannot see them as much as I would like, but Danielle and Trevor are the greatest people ever. All of the drum majors learned so much, and for our final performance we did a flash mob to the "glee" version of Don't Stop Believin! We also rode roller coasters, had dance parties in Brumby, and fist pumped to Ke$ha's "your love is my drug". The whole week was awesome, especially because Jeremy got to spy on me all week because he is the drum major of the redcoats. GO DAWGS! Everyone knows the band makes the football games. :)
...alright...the bell is about to ring...ill complete this later. :)
RYLA - (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) This conference also was life changing. I learned so much about how to be successful in life and anything i try. I met so many people from across south Georgia, many that are teens that are trying to make differences in their schools and communities. We had many classes about business leadership, how to run meetings, cultural awareness, and communication. Along with these classes, we did many social activites, like scavenger hunts, capture the flag, and pizza parties. We would stay up all night talking, listening to music, and getting to know each other. On almost a daily basis i continue to talk to kids that i met at this seminar this summer. It was a great experience.
After these three "camps" I went to, I had the oppritunity to come home for two weeks and relax. Those two weeks were amazing and i got to spend them with my friends. :) AFter those two weeks were over, band began, and then school.
Which brings me to this blog...sorry it is so long, but i wanted to get some ideas out about how OUTSTANDING my summer was. These are just some basic ideas...if you are curious, just ask me!

an introduction...to me. :)
Morgan's Mayhem?
haha...well, you might ask this question. I tend to be random at times, but that is just me. :) I'm me, and i love the fact that i have finally begun to figure out who MORGAN FERMIN really is.
Well, I am your typical 16 year old you could say. I have lived here...in Hinesville for my whole life. I actually like it. It may not be the most interesting place in the world, but it is my home, so i love it. Let's see, what else...I'm in marching band..i love it so much. Its one of my "things". It has really shaped me into the person i am today. i have also been a member of the interact club and student2student the past couple of years of high school...im a member of the first united methodist chuch in hinesville..I LOVE GOD! :) My family and my friends are probably the most imortant people in my life.
I enjoy the typical things that most teenagers do, texting, talking, and eating along with shopping, sunbathing, and swimming. :) Mr. Parker seems to think that id have a spaz attack if i lost my phone for more than a day...but, i could handle it as long as i had facebook.
so, about me's are always kindof blah in my opinon...this is just because of the simple fact that you cant put into words who you are exactly. i mean, even after reading alll these random little tidbits about me..you have no idea who i really am, or what my morals are. but this is an introduction, a simple hello to allow you to get to know the person behind the keyboard..who is me...:) <~ i dont even know if that sentence is grammatically correct? but, anyway...i hope this gives you the slightest insight to who MORGAN FERMIN really is..
this is the beginning of my mayhem. :)
