OOOH DEAR ..

things just aren't going my way lately !! i'm not turning into a pesimistic or anything, but here's what happend today : i lost my science homework so i starting this grading period off with a C because i got a 100% on my quiz so it averages out to 70%. then came track and i realized i forgot a shirt .. but my buddy kayla lent me hers so it's all good. yesterday i got these blisters on the in-soles of my feet and they hurt really really bad !! today mrs. firtha gave me band-aids and told me to wear two pairs of socks tomorrow. we were supposed to run 2.5 miles today, but only got 2 in. the first mile i finished in 8:46, which is about a minute better than yesterday !! woooo but i really had to push myself. the last mile, after the break, i was in soo much pain that coach jackson (he told me he prefered that title today hehe) told me i could take it easy. i felt really disappointed in myself that i wasn't running the mile so i walked, jogged, and when i got to the final bit i sprinted.
well .. some good things ?? i played basketball at recess and that was fun haha. um .. i got a FREE duffel bag from Lebron James' family foundation. they donated free Nike bags to all middle school basketball players who made honor roll. wow .. they are huge and they smell good :). tonight is yg and *yay* andy will be there :)
so i better go take a shower and get ready. post again later

A-TEN-SHI-ON !!

COMMENT ON HAYLEY'S BLOG BECAUSE SHE WANTS COMMENTS :D AND SHE'S NOT GOING TO POST ANYMORE IF PEOPLE DON'T COMMENT HER !! AHH

UPDATION I PRESUME ..

okey dokey .. i def need to update. first of all i am not in the pits anymore. actually i am super duperly happy right now and i don't know why !! probably because i just got home from practice and my endorphins are running high. haha i remember last year mrs. beadling used to make us dance before math class to get our endorphins going so we'd be able to think more clearily. needless to say .. i hated that class :D well right now i am eating BIG cheez-its .. not the wimpy little ones .. and a coke from mcdonalds. haha i know i should be keeping a stricter diet now with track and everything but as of right now i'm not going to worry about it !!

tomorrow i'm going up to ellet for the scheduling assembly. people with last names of a-j go in the morning and k-z go in the afternoon. i'm going in the morning on bus 3 with [[dun dun dun ..]] mr. wentzel and mr. e as the chaperones. lucky lucky me, eh ?? i hope i see audrey so i can embaress her and be like "why hello big sis !! i love love LOVE you !!" haha ..

i was so happy 7th period because i got part one of my spanish chapter 6 exam back and i got a ¡Perfecto! woo :D but i missed 1 out of 6 on the listening part today so .. idk how i did on the writing part but i did the bonus question and i'm pretty sure i did good on that.

we ran 2 miles today. i know it doesn't seem that bad, but i seriously almost died. i tried to keep a steady pace, but the cold air made it hard. i forced myself not to stop and walk, even for a little. the first mile i ran in 8:16, but the second mile i ran in 10:46 or something :'( wow .. but i've only been in practice for a week so it's not that big of a deal. i think i might walk home some days after practice, since i live so close anyways. i mean .. why should mom have to waste valuable gasoline, right ?? :D

IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY ..

today in a word was bad. but hey, you can't let that get you down. just like the song says : "it's not the end of the world, it's just another day" but uh .. i broke down in tears on the car ride home from practice. but, hey i don't want pity :D i guess just certain instinces in my life, people, and school were just too much to contain today.

well, practice was killer again. i'm so not in shape for track yet so 2 miles kills me. maybe the snow/rain/cold took part in that, too. but oh well. i think i should run this weekend. i'll probably just end up taking a walk with tippy or something

well, there is nothing to do tonight. i wanted to make plans, but nobody kept up with them. oh, well. i'll just enjoy a nice time at home relaxing and spending time with the family.

HOY ES MANANA .. DER

well let's see. today was muy bien. right now i am listening to our aaawesome easter cantata cd and i heart this so much!! woo my first one ever and its the best ever. haha. but the narrator is creepy. anyways, i think i am making my family sick of it already because i've been singing it so much. :D

well, today was just another monday. i guess i shouldn't say that. track season started today. little melissa, rebecca, hayley, and i are the offical warm-uppers haha. and surprisingly i thought it was a good work-out. i mean, i got really hot, but not tired. we ran a million laps around the gym and then ((oooh lucky us)) we got to go to the old gym and practice sprinting. hayley and i were going to run another 1/2 mile but then we're like forget this!!

so now im home and kinda soar. and ooooo here's my crown for my Quince. woo!! in exactly a week it will be 6 months until i'm 15. yippee :) im so excited. audrey's turned out awesome!! woo

the first track meeting was on monday. im so excited for this year!! last year i had such a fun time and made a whole bunch of new friends. hopefully this year will be just as awesome. i sort of designed the hoodies, but kiera thinks the ferocious hawk on the front will look dumb. well uh!! dont buy a hoodie then. im j//k i <3 kiera!! so yea.. wat else? oh of course. yesterday hayley and i went running at hyre. well first we went to use the facilities at the ellet community center, then ran the 1/2 mile loop. whew .. altogether we probably ran 1.235236123641364 miles. eww its so gross though because i always have to spit when i run. and so now today, instead of running, i think i will take my little tippy on a walk. tonight is youth group so i'm looking forward to carl's devotion!!

i was sick on sunday so i didn't go to church :'( but last week james asked me and audrey if we'd be willing to sign a duet as part of the easter cantata. we agreed, but we still don't know how the song goes .. we've never heard it before!! but james showed us some of the music and THANKFULLY it is nice a low. none of that high stuff : D

Just A Little Blurp

Here's just a little updatation on what's been going on lately. I don't have a lot of time, so excuse the shortness::

Monday and Wednesday of this week I had the standardized OAT tests in Reading and Math. The reading was a little more difficult and involved than I'd thought it would be. But math was pretty easy. It was just very involved so it took up a lot of my time...

I got a new book from Wentzel called Summer of My German Soldier. It's about these Nazi POWs who go to a prison camp in Arkansas. The main character is a Jewish girl who has no friends and a mean family who beats her. She meets one of the soldiers, Anton, at the family store and becomes friends with him. She doesn't see him for a long time and then starts to "like" him. And that's as far as I've gotten. It sounds good, but I don't like it that much. :(

Yesterday was my audition for the May Festival solo. This feeling may be normal, but I don't think I did very good at all. I was nervous and kind of literally shaky. That definatly didn't help my voice. That sounded shaky, too. And I just hope one of the requirments is to show confidence..This isn't any sort of excuse, but Mrs. Laktash couldn't be there because she had to keep score for the wrestling match. I would have felt much more relaxed and at ease if she would have been there. But, as a trio, I think Margo, David, and I sounded great. :) I saw Ms. Best there. Wow, I remember in Kindergarden, I was chosen to as her little helper. When she left in 4th grade to go to Goodyear, I was sad :'(

Well, that's what's been going on. Was that short? LOL Idk. But yesterday was YG and Carl's devotion really gave me the urge to read the Bible on a constant basis. I'm truthfully lagging in that department...

WOOOOO HAVE A GROOD DAY. I MEAN GOOD.. AND GREAT. GREAT AND GOOD.

(lol Teen Girls Squad!!)

Super Dee Duper Weekend!

Obviously, my weekend was very good!! Friday I got a paper 7th period from Mrs. Laktash telling me that I was chosen to represent Hyre in the All-City May Festival solo auditions on Wednesday. The only reason I even tried out to begin with was because all of my friends pressured me into it!! No, j//k. I wanted to do it for myself, as a way to overcome that humongo fear. Well, I did... sort of. I was pretty "shaky" though.. LOL

I got home and packed for the Skyview Retreat. WOO. What an awesome weekend!! Brown Street Baptist Church offically whomped Amherst in Ultimate Football, oh yeah. 11-2 WOO! I went horseback riding on this one horse named Bogey. It was this big pretty brown one and it looked stubborn, so I chose it, just because I like challenges. Well not that challenge. That animal would . not . go!! I was in the very back of the line and I was like 20 feet behind everybody else. I would kick it as hard as I could and that thing would not get faster. Then it got would randomly stop and back up. And I was soooo cold that my feet got numb and I couldn't kick it anymore. HAHA, but I felt real rugged. I did all that yee-haw, giddy-up, and woah nelly!! stuff. I even clicked my teeth like "KCK-KCK!!" Haha, well don't listen to any movies...that stuff doesn't work.

Friday night I was getting we (well, that me isn't all inclusive) were super super loud in the cabin. The lady from next door came over TWICE to tell us to shut-up. I jumped in Emily's bed because I was scared of her, and I won't go into that any farther haha.. But I was so scared that lady would come in with a hactchet next time. HATCHET LADY!! AHHH lol : )

The speaker this year was pretty good. He was emotional to say the least. But atleast that let me know he was sincere and he cared about everyone there. I made the decision to be more public about my faith and to stand up when I hear or see one of my friends making wrong decisions, or saying what should not be said. I mean, before I never accepted it, but I kept those feelings inside.

Funky Mood

Today is Dr. Seusses' 102nd birthday! YIPPEE. I heart Dr. Seuss because he was just so awesome!! The very first book I ever read by myself was THE FOOT BOOK. Audrey would read it to me almost 3 times a day, so I guess I just memorized it. But I loved that book so much!! And it rhymed which made it that much cooler.

So today was just a regular go-to-school-and-do-the-usual kind of day. The performance last night went well. We got our ajudictors' results sheets. We got two 1's on the first score (the highest possible. It ranges from 1-5) and a 1 and a 1/2 on the second. That's not a half, that's a one slash two. LOL. Mrs. Laktash seemed happy, probably because she didn't think we would do that well. I'm glad we are done with those songs! And now tonight is Strings In The Round. I asked Mrs. Leas yesterday, based on our rehearsal that day, what grade she would give us. She said both 2's because of the intonation problems. And at practice today I was totally out of it and missed my cue for pizzacato and all this stuff. But Mrs. Leas is one of the most patient people I have ever met, even up to hours before the compotition. Well, technically it isn't a competition, but everyone views it as it is. We are second on the program, with Miller South going first. Eww, I'm not even going to say anything about them. Last night Libby was like "They're so good it's sickening!!" Litchfeild was probably 2nd best. I guess there is this unwritten rivalry between Litchfeild and Hyre. Even during basketball season they were the team we couldn't wait to get to play. If I didn't go to Hyre, I'd definatly want to go to Litchfeild. My mommy went there!!

Wow, that was a long paragraph. So yes, I'm being the little nutrition freak that I am and eating chocolate chips straight from the bag and an orange soda. Hey, it won't kill me this one time. I'm trying to teach my cat manners. And it's working. I feel like I'm training a dog.

So, time to go. : )
