    And a conversation I overheard:

    "What pies have you got?"
    "It says it on the menu"
    "Oh, OK, I'll have chicken then"
    <sounds of scrambling around, a heated discussion, then...>
    "We're out of chicken"
    "Have you got the balti pie?"
    "Yes, we've got everything else"
    <sounds of scrambling around, further heated discussion, then...>
    "Sorry, we're out of balti pies too"
    "OK, I'll have the meat pie"
    "Sorry, we've run out of that one as well"
    "Have you got any pies?"
    "No"

    That started to happen with me last year too! I had (and am going to have to again) study like mad for entrance exams and so I was left with hardly any time for physical exercise, and I began to get a little belly! And I am only 19 right now!! shocked So I began to take some time for exercise and so thankfully it's gotten much better now. This year I'll do my best not to neglect exercise lest it happen again!! tongue

    I eat like a pig and drink a lot of beer, but no matter what I do it doesn't seem to have much effect on me? I'm sure I have Superman's metabolism. Which is handy to a degree, but it means I have to eat a lot to stay not-hungry. slant

    For the past two years I was a member of my school's marching band, playing first horn (or mellophone, which is the marching version of the horn), as a freshman, mind you. (I held a position over the two juniors and two eighth graders!) I really didn't like it however, and finally got up the courage to quit (my girlfriend is still in it, and she can't understand why I quit) before the end of this past school year. If anyone is actually interested in why I quit, it'd be best to ask me by email, as if I posted all my reasons and complaints here it'd probably take up about a page in length! I'm so happy I did quit, but now, without the extra exercise, I too find myself faced with the problem! Ah, well, I'll just have to start walking/jogging around the neighborhood again, I suppose. (I really don't like exercise!)

    We were made to march for about half an hour non stop everyday for three months in advance for the school annual functions every year in school! And that too in the horrible sun and sometimes cold. I was so sick of it that I'm more than happy to be free from it! I can get more than enough exercise to be going with by going to play lawn tennis three days in a week! biggrin

    For our marching band, we had to go to a six-day band camp out at some place (my first real time being away from home alone), in which we wold wake up early in the morning, get dressed, be out on a tennis court at 7:30 AM. Then the band officers would lead us all in stretching, then make us run half a mile/a mile through the trail area, which would eventually lead us to breakfast. By the time we'd get to breakfast, we would all feel incredibly sick from having just run, and didn't feel like eating much, as it felt it would be difficult to keep anything down in our stomachs. Most days all I had was a biscuit and a banana, with a glass of water. After that, we would all go back to our cabins, clean up our bunks and the floors. At 8:30 (I think), the officers would enter, call us to attention, and sweep through our young guys cabin, checking everything. If there was anything out of place or messy, we were given a number of push-ups depending on the offense. Then, at 9:00 we had marching practice out on the large field, suffering under the burning hot Florida sun (and it was August!), for three and a half whole hours! Then, we would have lunch, before getting about two hours of free time. After that we had sectionals (when you and your section get together with an instructor to practice music). Then we had chapel (it's a Christian school), and then dinner, and then another three to three and a half hours out on the field, before finally going in, hanging out for a bit, and going to bed. This process was repeated every day for four more days (the last day we gave a performance for our parents, before being taken by a bus back to the school). And that was just before school started, not even during the season! During the season we had three hour practices every Tuesday and Thursday, often a football game to play for on Friday, and more often than not a competition on Saturday, which usually lasted all day long. It was intense.

    In marching band? Basically, yes, although my girlfriend says marching band is nothing compared to what her mom and dad go through (they're in the U.S. Air Force). I believe her, but I still don't get why there needs to be so much discipline in a high school marching band!? confused

    My cousin is in the US and though he's not in the band, he's having to do all the scouting and camping stuffs, too. In my school, too, the participation in the march past was also compulsory, even if you had fever or diarrhoea!! Absentees (I was one of the poor unfortunates twice slant) were subject to either of these two wonderful punishments -

    1) Stand with knees half-bent and hands in a motorbike-driving position for two hours in the sun. One attempt to get a brief relief and there was a whack on the butt with a stick tongue

    2) Bunny hop around the entire HUGE football field 5 times dizzy

    The only occasion where a guy was exempt from marching was when he had fractured his arm. I remember a couple of fellas debating whether or not to fake a fracture the next day!! lol

    And yeah, it consisted only of marching like an army of robots. The school still doesn't have a band, and here are the instruments in the "orchestra" - an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, a bass drum, a hand-pumped keyboard and on extremely rare and festive occasions two "tabla"s and a set of drums which I last saw in 2004 biggrin And the players consisted of two students and four teachers, with the usual choir which sounded detuned more than once a day tongue But yeah, our guitar teacher Mr. Gideon is a great guitarist.

    Well, trust me, sometimes I wish I could give it to you. It's very expensive to stay not-hungry at uni, which means most of the money I earn from my weekend job there goes towards food. Plus next year there's more stuff to pay for since we're living in a flat rather than student accommodation. Save for that, it will be SO AWESOME!
