Im still here...

Wow. It's been a VERY long time since my last post. I've been so busy. I barely have time to breathe. I decided I should blog about what I've been up too, so you all know I haven't fallen off the Earth. So brace your self for a decent post.

School started back in August, and I finally made it to my junior year. Gosh, I feel so old. This is my first year in all Honor classes ( I'm usually not in Honors math) and AP History. My AP US History(APUSH) class is probably the best class I have. I love my teacher. He is great! However, 8 people have dropped out within the past 2 weeks and 4 more will most likely be out by next week. I had all my friends in there and now I only have 1 left. And me and my friend are the only girls. :) I figured with my friends gone, there will be less distractions and since the class is down to 8, there will be more one-on-one teaching.

I found a new love for Jiu-Jitsu. I love beating up guys and I'm quite great at it. I also love volleyball and have been playing for my church. I'm pretty beast, (that means I'm great!).

We get class rings in Nov. I'm so excited. :) I got our school mascot on one side and track & field on the other. On my left hand I have a HUGE national cheerleading ring and on the right I'll have a delicate class ring. It'll look funny dont ya think?

Oh and our football team has done surprisingly good this year. Check out my moms blog for what were all up to.

Schhool.

So its the moment I've been waiting for..no, I haven't received my letter from the hospital...I got my schedule for my junior year of high school. And well, our lousy no good guidance consulers (yes, they really are) messed it up. So its pretty wack.

1st :Pre Cal Honors
2nd: Study Hall
3rd: Chemistry 1 Honors
4th: AP US History ( my favorite teacher is teaching this :))
5th: Spanish 2
6th:Study Hall
7th: English 4 Honors

Ya see. I only signed up for one study hall, not 2. however next semester i will have no study hall. 2nd and 6th period is music appreciation. 2nd is music appreciation 1 and 6th is music appreciation 2. well ya cant do 2 if ya aren't finished with 1. Oh well, my school is messed up. At least i have lunch with my best friends.! :)

Wahoo!

Hello everyone! Sorry its been a while but I have been so busy. :) So, Friday I had a interview at the Childrens hospital for TeenBoard. Its a volunteer board for teenagers, its all year round too. You get to decorate the hospital for Christmas, and trick or treat. I find out if I get on it this week. Im very excited.

Also, I have the best father in the whole entire world!! I love him so much. He surprised me yesterday with a shopping spree for school! The best part was, I got to do it with momma. Which is a big deal because I almost didn't get to and I cant shop with out my mother! We had so much fun, and I did a good job with the money I had. I got 5 shirts (from American Eagle, Hollister, Aeropostale) which is really good, considering they are usually expensive. I'm best friends with the clearance racks. Also, I got 3 pairs of paints. Of course they are all from Aeropostale, cause their Short Length Jeans aren't terribly to long on me. However, I tried on a pair of capris and they ended up being jeans. :) I love being short sometimes. I even got my first pair of rainbows!!! I got a pink nike bookbag, and my school supplies. I still need a few more things, but I still have a few days left.

I start school Monday. Ill be a junior. :) oh yeah! but right now, I'm being the substitute 6th grade teacher for 2 twin boys, hmm??

You Can Be A...World Changer!

This is a post about World Changers. Ah, I really do miss it. I miss the horrible food, the mountains, the weather, the rain, the school, the showers that had trash bags as curtains. Actually, I don't miss the showers..I love having my stripe shower curtain. :) I miss sleeping on a sir mattress, and the worship services.

My crew..I really miss these people. They were awesome. They came from all over this side of the US. There were some from Virginia, Tennessee, and Ohio. We all got along great...except for the first day I met them, I thought they were annoying. Yet, in the long run..I became very good friends with them all and we all cried when we left.

Every Wednesday, we have a half-day. That means we work till about 1 and come back to our lodging area. The church groups go off and have a fun filled day. Well my youth group, went to the mall...it was HUGE!!..like 3 stories! Then we went to Outback or Chilli's. The people at Outback almost had a heart attack when I told them we had a party of 40! Then we went to a baseball game...Appalachian Power. I must say I had a lot of fun. I got chosen to perform the YMCA with a couple of teenagers, we made human subway sandwiches. Except for the baseball team was horrible. I think our little league all star team could have done better...they are going to the Little League World Series. I got in trouble for yelling at the other team... :) And I'm pretty sure our youth pastor is deaf, because every time the ball was hit in our direction all the girls screamed...later on this team hit a LITTLE boy in the SHOULDER!!

World Changers was great. You really grow spiritually and you really do realize how blessed you really are. At the end of the week 6 people were saved. One student (a youth), some homeowners, and even people down the street. During this week, me and Anna Kathryn (the other girl in this picture), witnessed to someone who excepted Christ. It's amazing to see how God can use you. I can't wait till next year. I'm hoping we go to Middle America. However, it doesn't matter where God ends up taking us, our work as Christian is never done.

Never Be Ready...

The beach was great...of course, you can read about the main points of the trip at my moms blog. :) I'll post about it later.

So today I went to cross country for the second time. We ran 5 miles. Yes, I thought I was gonna die. When I showed up however, I was the only girl and those 3 dudes there, were hardcore athletes...oh boy! Or oh boys!! Well of course, I got left behind, cause well, my jog compared to their jog is hugely different. Well I was the last one done...and that was because well...I got lost.

Yes, I took the wrong path. My coach ended up finding me and I was in tears...I thought I was a goner...I knew I would get back to civilization. I just didn't know when.

So, I completely embarrassed myself.. First off, for getting lost, and not being able to keep up with the guys. Ive always been the best at what I do...so this is different. On the plus side, whenever the guys did pass me the gave me a high-five and told me I could do. Well, I did..I just did it wrong. :)

I cant wait till Charleston with Brianna (from Learning to Breathe). :) Oh and pray that her misson trip to IL will go great and that they will be able to witness.

Cooked Bacon...

We leave for the beach Saturday. :) I'm excited...and ready to be there...except, my room isn't clean and I have not packed. The beach is always fun. My best friend always comes with me and we always have the same room assignments. We always get McDonalds on the way up and she takes 2 hours to eat. ")

Last year, we went bike riding on the beach and got lost. I got chased by big dogs..scary! Later, we find out that every path leads to the main road. We had planned on seeing the sun rise, and we finally did on our last day. We went to Salty Dog and had virgin Pina Caladas.

However, last year, I was forbidden to do anything fun. Not because I was in trouble but because 3 months ago from then I had my knee surgery. I couldn't surf :( or tumble :( or even JUMP WAVES!! I know you think my summer was horrible. Well it wasn't. I just had tons of restrictions.

Well this summer, I can surf, tumble, jump waves, run, climb a ladder, play soccer. I have NO limitations. I can't wait!!

Today is my brothers girlfriends birthday! She is finally 19! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

"WELCOME TO MOE'S!!"

I went to Moe's yesterday for the very first time yesterday. Brianna (from Learning to Breathe), her little brother, Christian, my mommy, my older brother and his girlfriend came along, because me and Brianna couldn't get there without my wonderful mother. :)

I had a lot of fun. Brianna is really cool and her little brother is the best rain dancer. He is too cute! He informed me about every Marvel superhero and the Transformer movies. What a hoot.

I also had to renew my permit yesterday...sad i know. :( Sadly, tomorrow is my last day at the hospital because next week I'll be at the beach. However, I applied for the TeenBoard, so hopefully I will get on it and can go everyday after school. :)

Now, off to wash clothes to the beach...well if I can get off my lazy butt.
