Spark Notes and Fingernails

I just thought I would say that http://www.sparknotes.com is great, and I don't have a clue what I would do without them. Lord of the Rings is such a long, dragged out, confusing story (at least for me that is). I don't know what I'm reading half the time!
WHOOO HOOO! I have my first marching band competition on Saturday! I'm so excited, but at the same time I'm UBER nervous. I'm sitting here biting my nails, which I do when I'm bored, but I need to save them for when I'm nervous this weekend! Please pray for me and hope that have the confidence and charisma to do my bestest at the competition in that HOT wool uniform in four-o-clock in the afternoon!!
