Family

Aren't families great. What are they there for, to annoy you, pick on you, make fun of you, hate you, love you. They are always their through both good and bad times. My family helps me through everything. I don't know what I would do without them. They will comfort me when I'm down, and laugh along with me. Even if they do make fun of me sometimes, sure whatever what else are they their for. To drive you insane? Well thats in the job description too i suppose. Eventually we will all look back at things like this and just laugh. How much these little things bother us now will just add to the humor. I would be completely lost without my parents and brothers, they made me who I am today. Crying or laughing there will always be memories. Remembered till the end of time, and kept fondly in my heart forever. Thank you for everything you have helped me through in life. You were always there for me and I really appreciate it. I love you guys tons!

XOXOXO
Emily

Thank You!

I'm sorry I keep forgetting you. What in the world was I thinking. Why didn't you tell me. Eventually it just came right up and hit me. This is terrible. Where have you been? What have you been up to? I feel horrible. How could I have done something like this to you. Just leaving you hanging like that. I should have come to you sooner. Is this how you always feel? Do I always do this to you? Why? I can't believe this, I'm sorry. You are the one who has helped me through everything. You saved my life. Now it's my turn to help you. I haven't been doing my job. I'll try harder I promise. I should be the one coming to you. Asking for help when needed. I'm glad you rescued me. Thank you! I will never forget you. Your the best and my arms are open wide, ready for anything you are willing to throw at me. Ready to share your word with everyone, preaching the gospel everywhere. Yet again, Thank You!

My Faith

Evolution is such a touchy topic. When it was the first thing that came up in biology this year it made me quite skeptical about the class. I don't really believe in evolution. I'm a christian and believe that God created the earth. I don't care what anyone else thinks, but thats what I believe. I don't see how people can't believe in God though. If you just read through the bible there is so much evidence everywhere about him coming to earth and rising again, the Christmas story, everything. I strongly believe in this and if anyone wants to talk about it with me I'm open. I may not seem like it but I'm a pretty hard core Christian. Attending church for Sunday school morning and evening services as well as Wednesday night. It has always been kind of hard for me to share a lot though because I'm a baptist and mostly everyone else in this community is either Lutheran or Catholic. I also always feel left out cause I don't go to the E-Free church here in town and thats where everyone else seems to go. I would like to share my testimony with anyone who is willing to keep reading this blog.

I was saved when I was 6. It was summer time because my older two brothers were both at bible camp. My other brother Tim and I were sitting in my parents bedroom doing devotions. Then my dad asked both of us if we knew where we would be going when we die. We said no, so my dad started sharing some bible verses with us and we ended up getting saved that night. That is probably the best night of my life. I would just like to reach out to everyone who is reading this right now. Where are you going when you die? Do you know for sure? If not I would love to talk to you and lead you to Christ. Also if you say well of course I'm going to heaven...think about it, are you really. Good works aren't what get you their. It's the excepting of God and opening and inviting Christ into your heart. I really hope with all my heart that if you are reading this you will consider these things and if you want to talk about it with me, I will be here for you, ready!

Walking for a Cure

Today was mothers day. I love this day cause my mom is never mad at me cause she is happy the whole day. Wow I'm just kidding. Well it's true but thats not why i love it. Every year my family and moms side of the extended family all go up to the Mall of America for the Race for the Cure. It is incredible. All the people their. I go insane every year. It just like a huge mosh pit of people everywhere around you. This is a 5K walk (they also have a run)for breast cancer. Thats probably why it's always on mothers day. My grandma had breast cancer and overcame it, and then passed away from another kind of caner. That is the main reason I like to do this walk. It is also very fun! Just being with all my family and hanging out. When you go there are also tons of huge vendor companies like Panara Bread, Yoplait, Caribou Coffee, Fuze, and many others that give out tons of free food to you. The problem is there are always so many people that it's impossible to make it to them. We of course find our ways though. I just love doing this walk it's fun and all the money goes to finding a cure. Which I think is super cool to. Well today after we went to the walk we decided to go to the Twins game too. Well that was the most boring game I have ever been too. Nothing happened the whole game until the last inning. I was like WOW...LAME. Don't get me wrong I love the Twins and I watch them every night on T.V. So I don't get bored by them very easily. They lost the game though. Even though they were ahead the whole time, the other team came back in the last inning. It was bad though cause we left about 12 people in scoring position the whole game that never got home. In the last inning though they got this sweet rally going with two outs. They had the bases loaded then they didn't get anyone else home so they lost 3-5. It was fun though cause the Twins are my favorite I love them!!!

From an Amzing Movie to an Amazing Musical

Everyone has seen the movie Legally Blonde right? Well if not you really need to it's great. This last Saturday I got the opportunity to go to the cities with my older brother and we went to Legally Blonde the Musical. It was pretty much AMAZING!! I think everyone needs to see it. All the song fit well and were catchy, they also fit the mood of the girly storyline too. The only thing that was disappointing was if you saw the movie it was exactly the same as the musical except the musical had songs in it. You knew exactly what was going to happened before it happened. That ok though cause it was still AMAZING!!! It was really fun to see all the people attending too. about 97% of the audience was girls and they dressed all out. Well we were at the Ordway so your suppose to dress up. But almost every girl I saw was wearing a dress or skirt and many of them had girly to like feather boas and tiaras and such. It was a fun experience. I would highly recommend this Musical to anyone!

Growing up Vs. Childishness

I'm kinda sad because on May 1st I was at Big 9 in Austin so I didn't have the chance to do any May baskets. That was always the highlight of my childhood. My brothers and I always made my mom buy us stuff to make May baskets. Even though she thought they were ridiculous. The best part was delivering them. It seemed to be a huge game of ding dong ditch. It was such a blast and we seemed to get a kick out of everything. Pretty sure if we did it now everyone would think we were ridiculous and need to grow up and get a life. Our world is too serious at times. There is no growing up that is necessary it the relaxing and childishness that needs to come back to everyone once and a while. Have a little fun and enjoy life! If you think people are being ridiculous and childish, go join them and it will bring to back to some of your old memories. And well of course you will end up having a blast!

Big 9 and It's Incredibleness

This last Friday Was the Big 9 Music Festival. It was so much fun. First of all everyone involved got to skip school and go preform. Secondly it was fun to hear some of the other bands and choirs-I didn't really care about the Orchestra's, no offense but that they don't seem to excite me. Anyways it was a super fun day. I would have to say that the bands performance wasn't completely horrible but it wasn't super good either. Well after all the schools were done performing they left. All those except for the people in the select Band, choir, and Orchestra. I was in the Select band and it was just completely amazing. Everyone should have stayed to hear all three of the select groups. Everyone did fantastic! One of the songs that the band got to play was about the Columbine in Colorado I think it was. The song is just so beautiful. Everyone in the audience was crying. I don't think I saw I dry eye. I couldn't believe it. Oh and of course being the sappy person I am when I see others Crying it makes me want to cry to. So my eyes started to water but luckily i held it back for our last song. I can't wait until Big 9 again next year it was so much fun and just an amazing experience. Also I really hope I can make it into the select group again because it is the best people in the Big 9 so of course everything sounds incredible!!!

So everyone knows the saying April showers brings May flowers. But have you ever heard April showrs bring mud!? I personally think that saying is very cute. No one probably thinks of that. so I'm at Luther College right now for my brothers senior voice recital. I'm kinda doing this on my dads phone. It's so weird. So this may take me forever. Anyways i was just thinking about poems and how you are either good at them or your not. There is really no inbetween. Personally i dont think i'm very good at writing them. Unless your the right person they probably wont even be interesting to you either. I just thought about trying to write one for this blog but then I was like um no i'm just going to blabber on about writing them in general. That shows you how cool I am....aren't. Yeah if only I was actually cool in our school. Just because i'm a jock doesn't give me the title of popular. €ven though it seemed to give everone else that title. Lame. Losts of the jocks in our school really piss me off. They are just so rude to everyone thats not popular. Ahhh that is so typical...sadly. Well i'm sick of typing on this stupid phone.It's so hard. Just so you know this blogg probably has like a million mistakes.

Lovley Spring Weather.

Although i love this warm weather it is somewhat a downfall. I would definitely love it to be warm. During softball I love it when it's warm but it just can't be too warm like it was this last week. Our team has to wear long pant things, long socks, and heavy-non breathable shirts. Of course it is way better to be warm in softball than to have to wear a million layers cause then everyone is miserable. Anyways along with super warm weather we get insane winds. This past week with the warm weather there were insane winds. It is so hard to play because then all the sand blows into your face and you can't see anything. Also the winds were against us so the pitcher and fielders had to all throw against the wind. Our games weren't too good this last week and I think thats the reason. We were terribly hot and the wind was irritating us like no other. When you get home you just feel like running into the shower first thing because you can feel all of the grime and gritty sand all over yourself. You face, hair, arms, legs, everywhere. It is just so annoying I really hope the weather is a little more cooperative for the next few weeks while we finish up our season.

Youth Conferences are Great Stuff!!!

Ahh. yet again my leg is still twitching and it's all I can think about so this blog is probably gonna SUCK...FYI. Anyways back to happy thoughts. So this last Friday I was gone from school and it was amazing. Except for the fact i had to get up earlier than a regular school day. I had the opportunity to go down to Ankeny, Iowa to Faith Baptist Bible College for a Youth Conference thing. It was a blast. So my brother his friend and my friend Alayna all packed up and hit the road by 6 in the morning. Oh man that was brutal. When we got there we had the chance to go to some college classes and we learned lots. About becoming missionary's, evangelism, everything. It was great. I think I'm considering going to college here for at least a year to get some good biblical study habits down. It would be a really good idea i think. Well thats about all we did for the weekend at Faith. It was a blast and I learned tons. Hanging out with all of these crazy college kids it was great and I can't wait to go there myself!

My Very Own "Rant"

So here I am yet again procrastinating on writing my blogs and saving them for the last minute. Yeah pretty much the story of my life...just kidding. This last Thursday we left school at 12:45 for softball because we had a double header in Winona. It was so nice I wish we got out of school at that time every day. Anyways while we were in Winona it was beautiful out. Everyone was rollerblading it was insane. Yes I know it is a college town but every 2 min. I would see a group of people go past the field rollerblading. I was like what the heck??? I totally don't have anything against this because it was completely gorgeous out, I just thought it so bizarre to see that many people. Wow..I love how I get so caught up in crazy things like that. I live a pretty dull life I guess. Nothing much to talk about. So I need to "rant" as the school paper would call it. I absolutely hate big complicated tests. Like the MCA's they make this huge deal about them and it is so annoying. I'm sick of it. Really guys we have been doing them since 3rd grade I think we know how to do them. Usually teachers will be talking about it like 3 months in advance to and that just adds to the list of super great things happening in my life right now list. Luckily this year no did that. Well only my math teacher and i didn't really care because my grade didn't have to take those this year. Ahh I'm going crazy right now my leg has been twitching all day long and it has been driving me insane...grr..as I slam my fingers into the keyboard with frustration... Anyways back to my rant-I HATE MCA's they are stupid. This year they even came as a surprise. Usually it's like a count down. This year not even kidding I was like oh man there tomorrow. Whoops!! :) Well thats all i feel like writing in my rant right now hope you enjoyed laughing at my frustrations in life. You Stink...

Homework = Major Stress

So I love how teachers always seem to give lots of homework on the weekends. I always seem to save it until Sunday night though. In case you haven't noticed all my blogs are written on Sunday nights at 9! It is so horrible over the past two years I have become a horrible procrastinator. I use to do things in advance so I wouldn't have to do it all at once. Yeah..not anymore. I think it has gotten so bad because I have been so busy in high school that I want some free time. So I just put things off. Like homework. Whatever I always get it done on time. And of course thats all that matters and I'm still a straight A student so I think I'm fine. I should just work on getting better so I'm not so stressed all the time. When I get stressed I am not fun to be around at all. Pretty sure all my friends could tell you that too. I just get super snappy, grumpy and emotional. It's kinda weird. Lots of times they try to avoid me so they don't have to deal with me. But i don't blame them cause when I'm mad..oh man I seem to shoot laser beems with my eyes at I am pissed at everyone and everything. It's quite interesting...

Bizarre Dreams

I love how everyone always has interesting dreams. They are always the most crazy, random, out there things, and they just seem to crack me up like on other. The other day I had the weirdest dream ever so I'll tell you about it.
So Tim and I were randomly in Chicago by ourselves- don't ask me why but I think my parents were on a trip. Anyways we were at the Twin's baseball game there and we got to meet with the players before the game. It was awesome! During the game we heard this weird noise and everyone looked up to see an A-Bomb being dropped on us by Malaysia. Yeah I know exactly what your thinking right now...WHAT THE HECK. Well thats what my whole family was thinking too. Why would a little country like that drop an A-Bomb on the "Great United States". So everyone was freaking out at this game and somehow Tim and I were able to run to another building across the street. I guess we must have ran pretty darn fast or something. When it hit the ground nothing really happened besides a fire started. So everyone was like ok not a huge deal. Then out of no where the building we ran into fell down. We just seemed to walk right out though. Not even hurt. Dang we must have been like superman or something. Anyways we saw another plane coming so everyone started freaking out again. Tim ditched me and ran to hide in this huge locker thing. Now I was freaking out cause Tim just ditched me so I was looking for someone I knew. Then I saw this guy from our school-not even sure who-and he ran up to me and yelled, I'll save you stick with me. Whatever. The plane then dropped that one and nothing happened at all. Everyone was kinda scared that something was gonna go off now cause nothing had gone off yet. By this time like the whole city of Chicago was up in flames. Then these huge buff military guys from the U.S. finally decided to show up...and so did the Malaysia guys. They were arguing a while about something. And then everyone left and all was well. I decided to call my mom and tell her that we were ok. Just because I figured that she would have heard about this by now and be freaking out. While I was taking out my phone I got this message from the Malaysia government that said, If you tell anyone something will happen to you and then you will die.
Well then I woke up and that was the end of that dream. How bizarre is that?? Super weird huh? Your probably thinking wow didn't you wake up at all. Yes I did but when i fell asleep it just seemed to pick up where I left off. Grr.
So I've come to the conclusion that the only reason all these things got put together is: I love the movie Zoolander and they talk about Malaysia in that movie, We talked about A-Bombs about 2 weeks ago in history, I love the twins, and my parents were just recently gone on a trip.
Oh man I love dreams they are just hilarious. When I told this to my family they were all literately on the ground laughing super hard. My brothers friend was even over and it was the first time I had ever met her. She probably thought I was a freak and need to go to a mental institute. Oh well it made for LOTS of HUGE laughs :)

Sometimes funny jokes

I love how we have jokes that you can find all over the Internet about basically anything. Not to be mean at all but my favorite ones are the blond jokes and the Helen Keller ones too. Yes I completely understand how mean they seem to be but honestly if you hear them you will laugh too. I can't believe how people come up with jokes like these. But they are historical, so kudos to you! If you didn't know me right now you would think I am the rudest, most mean, cruel person on the planet. News flash for ya I really don't think I am. Some may disagree but feel what you want. Just don't go spreading rumors around my back. We were gonna work on that remember. So anyways back to the jokes. I know it's horrible to make fun of people who are blind and stuff but the jokes just seem to fit. I'm sorry but I think these jokes are hilarious-some are completely horrible though I must say. You can just think I'm a horrible person if you disagree with me. But whatever I think I'll get over it. Better than other things in our world today. If you have never heard any of these types of jokes I think you should look some up sometime.

The Beloved Rumor Vine

One thing that really seems to bother me is when people talk about other people behind their back. Everyone is guilty of it so don't you dare try to get out of this one. I'm not saying I don't do this because I do, everyone does. I just think everyone needs to get better about trying not to do this. It is so rude and we never realize it because it seems to come naturally to us, sadly. Some things we talk about can be good about a person but most times not. Today's society just wants to slam each other and see who can come up with the most. Like a huge life long competition. Half the time when we do this we don't even realize were talking about someone. You really have to think hard about what you are talking about. The other day one of my friends was telling me about how some people from my softball team in particular were talking about me on the bench. It wasn't good stuff either. What is the point of this just because you are mad at someone or whatever is going on doesn't mean you have to slam them. When i heard about this it made me super pissed off.. oh man I was not in a good mood I probably could have killed someone with my death glare. When we talk about people we don't even seem to care how they might feel. Because everyone knows that eventually they are going to find out what you said about them. It never seems to fail. When you hear things that people say about you, it's terrible. Sometimes you feel like crap inside, other times you feel like hurting that person, and sometimes you just want to cry. I just think everyone needs to be more considerate in today's society. Think about what you talk about and try, try your hardest not to talk about people behind their back. Good or bad just don't bother. If you have something to say then just say it to their face. If it's good it might make their day. If it happens to be rude and nasty, run fast but at least they didn't have to hear it through the rumor vine.

"'ALHS's' Got Talent"

Ah talent shows. Personally I think that our high school's talent show is horrible. It seems to be the same thing every year. There are always people singing with either a guitar or a piano. What else is knew? I think some of the acts are cool and different every year. I just seems that it's a repeat and the same every year. Lately I've been quite let down by it. Of course I completely understand the people that are in it try hard. I give them credit for that. But our talent show just sucks in general. There is definitely lots of talent in ALHS it is just a huge repeat every year.

Slackers

This last weekend I was at a Show Choir Competition. Yes I am in one of the Show Choirs at our school, but the one this last weekend I just play in the band-"Combo". Lately the people in this group have been bothering me. Not because there rude to me or anything, but because they are slackers. I busted my butt at auditions trying to get in the higher group. Well that didn't happen. I got stuck in SASS again. The all girls group. It seems to me that the Cat group is made up of slackers. No one ever tries and they don't care about anything. This is mainly the guy's I'm talking about. Just because they don't have to audition to get in because we desperately need them doesn't mean they can suck. If they are wasting everyone else's time showing up, and then not caring...Quit and go home. I am so sick of this crap, and I don't even have to dance with them and deal with them. I just play my T. Sax in Combo. This group has been to two competitions this year and then we have our own competition. At every competition I hear over half the choir say; " Wow this is dumb, we need to suck so we don't make it into finals. Then we can leave early." Really guys?? If your going to be in something commit and give it 210%. There are so many other people that would die to be in this group and you are all taking up the spots. They don't even realize how mad some of the people in this group get because the slackers are weighing them down and the others really want to win and do good. Some people just don't get it, and probably never will. Sadly...

Why School?

Congrats to the Albert Lea Wrestling Team. 2nd in state...Impressive. But like we couldn't see it coming considering its happened for like the past 10 years. Anyways what I was actually going to be talking about was school. When our High School Teams go to state why do we even bother having school those days? Everyone is gone anyways, ya know supporting their team. RAH!RAH! It's especially a waste of time for those of us who do go to school because the teachers are desperately try to find things to fill time. Or they have their classes do absolutely nothing and have a study hall. If you think about it this would be good for the teachers as well cause they could go watch if they wanted. Well this is just my opinion on everything. But it seems to make sense. If Ya know what I mean.

Day Light Savings?

I've never quite understood the purpose of Day Light Savings. In my eyes it is completely pointless. If we are all going to move our clocks ahead one hour in the spring, and go insane due to loss of sleep. Then just move them back one hour in the fall. Whats the point. To move clocks back one hour just to move the back forward one hour 6 months later? Everyone goes ballistic during these times too of course. Were gonna forget AHH. Well they mainly freak out about the whole loosing an hour of sleep. Don't you love how people go crazy over one whole hour. Yeah. This time of year drives me bonkers. I have a schedule and I would rather keep it the same the whole year if I can help it. Whatever I just think this whole thing is ridiculous and shouldn't even happen. Otherwise crazy people like me go completely insane.

School-Sports-Church-Job??-Life??

Now that I have my license I need to find a job, and fast. Filling up the gas tank in our van really bites. The thing is in todays society lots of people are have trouble finding jobs. How am I suppose to? There might be one teeny tiny problem: I have no time. My parents keep bugging me to find a job, but i don't know when I would ever work. There is absolutely no free time in my schedule. I play 3 sports, am in tons of extra band and choir groups, church, and oh yeah Homework. That seems to be all I do on the weekends is homework. Like today-kid you not I did homework for 4 1/2 hours straight. I had homework in every class but band and choir. It bothers me when teachers give out homework they all do it on the same day. If I lucky i get a day with no homework at all. Then the next day-every class. And I usually have games on the nights with loads of homework. I just don't know how I would work out my schedule to get everything in. Also I would probably lose lots of sleep and I don't get that much right now as it is. Every single day except Thursday's I have to be to school by 7. On Thursday's I get to sleep in a whole half an hour. It's amazing! Not only do I not have time for a job, I don't know where to apply. I really don't want to work at a fast food place and every time I say that my mom yells at me. Which doesn't make since because whenever we go to a fast food restaurant she always says I would never work here. IT would be so annoying with all the beeping. Yeah mother get out of my face. Anyways Why does life have to be so complicated. My life is mass chaos at the moment, and this whole job thing isn't helping. It is really stressing me out hard core. Wow...Life.

Complicated Things

Why do people have to be so complicated in life. Today we got out 3 hours early from school. Not quite sure why they even made us go to school today. We have been under a winter weather advisory for the past day, and every other school around us didn't even have school. I can't believe this? It just makes me laugh how ridiculous people are in todays society. Especially if ice and sleet are coming, and then a few inches of snow on top of that. What is it gonna be like? Crappy. Yeah thats what I thought too. Once we got to school everyone already knew that we would be getting out early. It's pretty darn obvious isn't it. Well thats just my thoughts on things, but they seem to make perfect sense instead of tryng to avoid them.

Headed to State..OR NOT

Yesterday I got the chance to go to the girls hockey game. They were playing Red Wing for a spot at state. I was only there because I had to play for pep band. That was only the second game I have ever been to. I get so lost, It's sad, cause It shouldn't be that confusing. Well they lost 4-0. It was a very exciting game though. Just because it was so dirty! I love watching stuff like that. There was a good fight that broke out that made my day! Yeah but in the 3rd period almost every min. someone was being sent to the penalty box. The referees totally sucked to. Red Wing was beating the crap out of us and they didn't do anything about it, but when we would get close to them to go after a puck..Straight to the Penalty box we went. I had fun though, It's just sad that they lost so they couldn't go to state. Oh well there is always next year. Congrats to the Wrestlers who made it to state that day! Surprise couldn't see that one coming.

Ah crazy lives

This last Thursday was kinda hectic. I passed my drivers test and i was super excited! I wasn't really scared for it because i knew what I was doing. Well once the test started my parking went horrible even though i actually know how to. I think i just froze up on the test. So it i went out right now and tried to parallel park it would be perfectly fine. Not sure what happened on the test? I'm kinda bummed though because I can't have a car at school because "It's a privilege" and I have to earn it and prove I can drive. I don't get my own car either, i would have to buy it with my own money. Al least we have a car sitting around at home so I get to drive that around. I'm just happy i passed cause I was really getting sick of my parents having to drive me everywhere. Well after I passed my test i convinced my mom to let me take a car back to school. She even made me go back to school to be in class for like 5 min because we got to leave early for basketball. I was like really thats pointless we should just waste some time doing nothing so I don't have to go back to class. Well that didn't quite work out. So I got to go to class for a whole 5 min and do absolutely nothing. YAY! Everyone was just standing by the door getting ready to leave. DUMB. Well later that night our basketball game couldn't have went worse. It was bad. I guess we did do ok though considering there varsity team is ranked number 2 in the state. We got killed though and it totally sucked. Well at least one thing went good that day. I'm just happy I passed my test. The test person was really rude though. I was getting really sick of him and he was only in the car for like 10 min. He looked like he was going to kill me before he even got in the car. I was like wow I've never seen you before in my life, what do you have against me? Find a new job so your not pissed all the time. Maybe one you even enjoy..imagine that being happy at work. OH MAN.

I See Green Grass Smiling at Me!!-nothing but green grass do I see!

I am so happy that all of this nasty snow is finally melting. Yippy! Except guess what I just heard. Since we finally can see lovely green grass everywhere. It's gonna get to snow again, to cover it all up. AGAIN. You know I really dislike snow. It is cold, dangerous, and very annoying. I personally think we need to just skip this season all together. I'm probably not going to be one of those people who lives where it is cold. All because snow has to ruin it all for me. The cold weather doesn't really bother me that much. Only because I'm freezing every single day no matter what the weather is like. Grr, once snow is gone it just needs to be gone until next November.

Happy Over Rated Day!!!

I think Valentines Day is probably the most over rated day on earth. It is so stupid. Especially for those of us who don't have anyone to spend the "Special Day" with. This is an ok day for married couples though I guess, but for everyone else...DUMB! Yay lets just hand out candy to a bunch of random people just because thats what you do. No just stop. It's a day to spend and show your love for a loved one. More specifically married couples. Common People. So thats why I decided to come up with a new name for this awesome holiday- Happy Over Rated Day!!!

Toga Party!

So the last night on our cruise there was a party. It was at midnight. And it was a toga party. I bet you can guess all the people that were there. Yeah you got it, can you say a little intoxicated. Wow Tim and I and this girl named Heather just went to go laugh at all the drunk people. It was a blast, they are so funny. We just sat there and laughed, we didn't even get up and do the cha-cha side. I know right thats like a sin. Wow. There were these old ladies there and they were trying to "get down" and be cool lets just say, EWW. Your too old-GET A LIFE!! It was kinda gross. Not like dirty dancing just old people dancing and some of the things they did. They weren't bad lets just say awkward for those types of people to be doing. It was great there was this lady in the middle of the dance floor trying to take pictures of herself. Sad to say, all she got was the ceiling and floor...Just try to picture a bunch of adults on a dance floor with togas on. Weird, and lets not count me in.

!!WOOT, WOOT!!

Cruisin' in the Bahamas! Thats what I've been doing for the past weekish. It was a blast! There wasn't a better way to spend my 16th birthday. The cruise was fun but the down fall was the weather sucked. Like really bad. So the average Temp in the Bahamas is 80 or higher. Well we get there at the same time as a cold front. YAY...the warmest day was maybe 70 with 20mph winds. The day of Tim and My birthday we were suppose to go to a private island owned by the cruise line, and have a warm sunny beach day!! We got to spend a whole fun packed freezing day, on the ship. We were suppose to take these boats from the big boat to the island, but i guess there were 8-10 foot high waves. Our boat was kinda boring too. There wasn't much to do. My family and I tried laying out on the ship but we probably got 3-D sun tans for the whole hour we were out there because we had goose bumps the whole time. The sun was barely out the whole time we were there either. Well I really shouldn't be complaining. I did have fun and hey!, I got a week off of school. I was GREAT!

IT'S FINALLY OVER!!!

Well as goes my hectic life. I'm not sure how I even have time to write this right now. I need to be getting ready for the dance. Well my day at solo ensemble was ok i guess. It was totally never ending though. I'm so happy I got to ride up to lakeville with my parents so I didn't have to wake up at 5 to ride the bus. Anyways once we got there I had my band solo right away. I was really happy to get that one done with first. Just so I didn't have to worry about my sax all day. On my solo I did good. I got an Superior-which is the best you can get, and hard to get as well. (The levels are Superior, Excellent, Fair, Good) I was proud of myself for that! Moving on I had about 3 hours to waste until my choir solo. WOW did time tick by: I've never had a longer day in my whole life. UG. Once that finally came along I did alright. I got an excellent. Not to happy with myself though because there were a couple of places I messed up the words, but I know them, thats the frustrating part. GRR. About an hour after my solo was the trio, the last thing on my schedule. Well that went ok i guess. It could have been better I donno what happened, I think we all were anxious so..i donno. Well we got an Excellent on that too. Which isn't horrible I guess. Well I'm just glad that is over so now all I have to worry about is getting ready for the dance. AHH, help.

Solo Ensemble = Me dieing

So in a couple of days is solo ensemble for my school. I am doing 3 things and I have been stressed out like no other lately. I just finished learning my choir solo for this contest a couple a days ago. It's insane. I've had how long to work on it? Um lets see... about 2 1/2 months if not longer. I always procrastinate. I just learned the trio I am doing as well. Even though I haven't had that one half as long. Not only am i worried about this but I have school, basketball, this contest, getting ready for the cruise I'm going on next week and the dance. I donno why I'm freaking out about all this stuff. Oh yeah for contest I'm doing a choir solo, trio and a band solo on my tenor sax. So far I haven't been worrying about that one as much. Well at least not until today. I practiced my song with the band teacher and I totally butchered it. Not sure what happened but I was freaking out. It had been going perfectly fine until I had a bad day. WOW life sucks. Why do I put so much upon myself? I just don't get it well wish me luck that I make it through this week alive...

The Bubble Around Your Life

So all day today I was at an Honor Band in Rochester. Yeah I know it sounds cheesy and you probably think I'm a dorky nerd, but shut up. :) Band Rocks my socks off! I just love going to these types of things. It's just so funny to watch all the people. When you get there at like the butt-crack of dawn everyone is standing in there own little groups from there town. Never talking to anyone else. If they happen to be there by themselves. Well then they just awkwardly stand over in the corner. I find this so funny, because I do the same thing. No one in like steps out of there box. It seems to be a chore to step out of your comfort zone. I know I shouldn't even be talking because I'm the shyest person on plant earth. Once you get to know me though it's insane how hyper I can get. You will never be able to shut me up. Anyways I'm never sure how because people never talk all day at this band thing, but there are people crying at the end when it's time to leave. YAY!!! they made friends. Darn it I wish I was that courageous to talk to random people like that.

So I really hate winter. I'm gonna list some things that are the only part I like about this season:
-Snow Days
-My birthday
-Christmas and New Years
-Christmas Break
-Basketball
-Homemade Ice Cream

That's about all I like about Winter. Sad Huh???

Bahamas here we come!!!

So in about 3 weeks I turn 16! I am so excited I can't wait! The best part is a couple of days ago my parents found a really cheap cruise, so they booked it. And it just happens to be the week of Tim and My birthday. I'm thinking this is going to be the best birthday ever. Especially for turning 16. There is a catch though. I already had my license test scheduled and now I have to wait to take it. And even worse, My parents had a trip to Mexico already planned for the week after our birthday so on Friday when we get home from the Bahamas my parents will be home for about 12 hours and will leave again. So that means I have to wait for them to get back from Mexico to take my drivers test. That really makes me mad because it's gonna feel like an eternity. Oh well though I think I'll get over it. I just super excited about this sweet cruise. And we get to miss a week of school. I really hope my older brothers aren't mad though cause only my parents Tim and I are going!! Whatever they have college.

Breaks

So i totally wish we had more breaks for school. At times school seems to get extremely long. Right now I'm not really looking forward to going back to school tomorrow cause winter break just ended. Over break I was kept pretty busy I guess. For the first week I had Practice almost every morning. The second week I got to sleep in!! YAY! So i wish our school started later but got done at the same time. I really need my sleep, and I love to sleep in. One thing was over break I was sick the whole time. That was a let down. I still even have it now. It seems like it's never gonna go away. Anyways My break was fun and I had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!!!

AHHH FINALS...

So Finals at school are coming up in about two weeks. For finals if you have a good attendance record you have a choice to take them. I'm one of those people who have a choice. The thing is I am hoping to get straight A's this semester. I have an A- in Math right now though. I think I might take the final in that class. Skipping school is something I'm really looking forward to. Cause if we don't have to take the finals we don't even have to be at school. YAY!!! Anyways I'm kinda freaking out right now cause its getting closer and closer and Some of my grades are on the edge. I really hope they stay A's until the end so I don't have to take any more finals...
