Song of the morning: (Haven't got one yet, but the song of the day yesterday was One Day More from Les Miserables)

I'll accept any sort of yelling that comes my way from leaving such a ridiculously long survey as my last post. Honestly, I knew it was big, but I had NO idea it would be that long once I put it on the site.

So I stole some kid's watch yesterday. Really I did. I didn't know I was, and in fact I thought I was helping out the group. I could've sworn it was Jonny's watch sitting on the gym stage during our soundcheck, show, and loadout. All his stuff was the last of our gear in the gym, so I grabbed his bag, water bottle and "watch" and headed out. I was going to be all sly and not tell him about the watch until he realized he forgot it, but there was an opportunity to bring it up once we were driving back into Brandon.

Turns out Jonny was wearing his watch. Now I've got this nice (really nice) looking watch sitting at the house, and no way of getting back to Forest, MB. What would any one of our boys do in a situation like this? You light a candle, put your head down, shed a tear for that poor soul of a kid that lost his personal belonging.... and you start enjoying your new watch.

Now for those of you WITH your soul, that's not what I did. As soon as we got home I called the school and they're gonna get back to me with where in Brandon I can drop it off so the kid can get it back.

Damn morals.

By the way, I should probably make a general mention on here that:

(drum roll....)

I got accepted into the Theatre Arts program at Grant MacEwan in Edmonton. For me, this is such a weight off my shoulders. For everyone else, it's just confirmation of what they already knew. Thank you, everyone, for supporting me and getting my damned hopes up for getting into the school.

I even got a "Congratulations on getting into your school, Brennan" from Aaron Check. Sure it was a few days after we found out, but it still means the same.

It's so nice now to be able to start looking into things like appartments and scholarships now that I know I'm accepted. (Speaking of which, don't let the school know how eager I am to go. I want to downplay it so I can try to muscle my way into some free money. THERE's something the boys can be proud of)
