Acceptance!!

I have recently been accepted into Murray State University. This is the best news i think i have ever gotten. My aunts both got full rides for basketball to that school so i feel that i am a repeat other than the full ride part. I played volleyball but didnt try for a scholarship because i feel i need to focus more on being a student and get used to college before i add a sport to the mix. I applied at other colleges inside Owensboro because i thought staying here and playing volleyball would be good enough. I then figured i need to get away and do my own thing in college and explore/find myself a little more. All of this is possible becaue i was accepted!!!

Prom!

I am finally a senior and am going to my first and last prom. This is a sad thought but also a happy one. I didnt go my junior year because 1. no one asked me and 2. i wasnt really worried about going. This year i am a loser going to prom because i do not have a date. My date is annalise and that is only because 2 of her prom dates bailed on her so we only have each other left. I think it will be much funner going with the girls anyways. I will be more myself at prom instead of if i was with a date. Im not all that excited about going as i am just getting dressed up all pretty and going out to eat and taking pictures. I am going to make my last dance ever at my high school the best one out of all my four years of high school!!!

When was the first time i got hurt?

I don't exactly know if this was the first time i got hurt but it is the one time i got hurt that i will always remember. It was the first time i had ever been hurt badly. I was across the street at my friends house when i was about 10 years old. There were three or four of us jumping on her trampoline. I tried to show off some tricks to them and did a front flip. When i did this flip i over rotated and hit my head on the metal outside bar. I just remember feeling some pain in my lip but it wasnt intense pain. All of the other kids looked at me and then ran to get their parents. She brought out a towel for me because apparently i had busted my lip wide open and could even tell if i had lost any teeth becaue it was so bloody. My friends parents immediately took me back across the street to my mother who then rushed me to the hospital to get my mouth checked out. The doctor said that i had gashed the inside of my lip and cut my gum. The doctor said it wasnt anything severe but that i could get stitches to sow up my lip or i could just let it heal on its own. He said if i chose to let it heal on its own then i would always have a scare and knot inside my lip which i still do at the age of 18. As for my cut gum, i had to get stiches for that but it was only like four. For weeks i had to take a bottle to school and drink out of it because thats how the doctor said i had to drink thinks so that i could be careful of my lip and gum. That incident has taught me a lesson to be very carefuo on trampolines.

The last CD i bought....

The last CD i REMEMBER buying is Nsync. When i was younger i was obsessed with this boy band and still listen to their old cd's today. All of the other cd's i have someone else has bought for me for christmas or birthday or something. The other cd's i have i illegally download on my computer annndd i just get them off itunes :]. I honestly dont think i will every buy another cd again.

What makes me stressed out

I stress out about everythinggggg!!!!! First is school and all the homework we have. we are in school for 8 hours a day and still have butt loads of homework to take home almost every night. In order to make straight A's, which is the goal for me, doing all of this homework for all 8 classes is hard. Next comes my mother/family. I love my mother to death but she stresses me out to no end. She is more like a slave driver and grew with a dad who was a slave driver. So she has passed the trait down and expect me to be the same as her childhood. Other than that my life is stress free.

News for Government!

Not only do i now have to blog every month for my english class but now i have to do weekly news stories for my government class. This internet stuff is a complete hassle. We have to pick 4 news stories if we want an A and then summarize them and write how they are connected to the world and people and then post them on moodle. It is really a waist of time because i don't care at all and just write stupid stuff that doesnt make sense and post it and just get the grade. It not like i really even know whats going on. I just write for the heck of it. That is probably why everyone hates government so much. No one likes to write those stories all the time. I hate government!!!!!

My Little sister.

My little sister is now the big 10 years old. She thinks she runs the house. She has now entered her bratty stage of life and i cannot stand it. She tries to tell me what to do like im not 8 years older then she is. Mom is having a hard time with it too but she knows that it is only a phase and is trying her hardest to just look past it. The only thing is that she never gets punished for anything. Mom and dad threaten her with a grounding of some sort but they never actually do anything. So she continues to rule the house. The only thing she really cares about is the animals so they threaten to ground her from those. Then she cries and cries and cries and they let her out of it. Take last night for instance. That morning she was being a brat and dad told her she was grounded from the animals and had to go to bed early the whole weekend. Well, that night she stayed up untili 11 and played with her animals half the time. My dad is such a softy with his little brat!

My Pets

Throughout my years i have had many pets come through my house. Currently i have a dog named bay, a cat named tiger, and a mouse named whiskers. All of them are my sisters pets except for the dog. That one is a family pet. When i was little my favorite pet was my frog i had in my fish tank. I can't ever remember the name i gave for it but i loved that thing to death. One day one of my friends came over and i wanted to show him off. I took the fish net thing and tried to pin him to the side so he could swim away and i could then pull him to the surface. While i was doing that, i accidentally pinned his leg and he tried to swim away and i ripped his leg off. I was so distrought! It was an aweful act of animal cruelty on accidnt. You could only imagine what 2 ten year old girls thought when they saw a frogs leg ripped off. I have never owned another frog in my whole life. RIP frog.

Finals!

My senior year i finally don't have to take any of my finals. It is such a relief to know that i am going to get out of school early anyways and not having to worry at all about finals at all. My junior year i worked very hard on whatever test we had to take ( maybe the CATS test?) and made a proficciant and distinguished on all of the open responses and the reward is getting out of my year end finals! I hate to brag about it becaue i know other seniors think i am throwing it in their face but they should have worked harder and done better. At the time when they were a junior taking the test, they didn't see senior year and not taking their finals. Now i bet they wish they had done better and tried harder. I remeber that test and the open responses were extremely hard. When we had a 10 minute break i had to ask some of my friends for a little bit of help even though we werent supposed to talk about the test at all during the break. I couldnt help myself, i really wanted to get out of my finals this year. And i did so i give myself a pat on the back.

Plans for Spring Break!

Spring Break is right around the corner.....actually next week and i still have no idea what i am going to do. My plans were to go to Chicago with some friends from my work but then those plans bailed because they said that they aren't going to do anything for spring break. I also got asked to go to Panama with a bunch of friends from school but i dont know if i really want to do that because my entire school plus all of owensboro goes there on spring break. Everyone goes and gets drunk and high and all that and don't remember any of spring break. I don't involve myself in those activities so i just think it would be boring for me to go and be the only one who is sober the whole time. Then my plans changed to only going to a different part of Florida with two of my friends and we haven't even reserved a room or anything yet. This has become extremely stressful! I might just end up staying here in owensboro and waiting for the summer to do anything.

My Report Card

On my 3rd nine-weeks report card i had straight A's for the first time since elementary school. I worked hard that nine-weeks to get those straight A's. It was hard but im glad i did it. The last time i ever remember getting any type of straght A's was when i was in elementary school when we had checks and check plusses and i had straight check plusses a lot. i figured that when i got into middle school it would be easy to obtain straight A's but i was wrong. I have always been gifted with being smart but i have not always been gifted with nonlazyness. I'm sure i could have made straight A's my entire school career but i tend to be lazy a lot and that makes me have just under an A. I have had maybe 2 really bad grades my entire school career but every other time i have had a's and b's or straight b's or a's b's and c's. Now that i tried really hard to get straight a's, my laziness might come back in and i will probably only get a's and b's on my next report card.

My Job

Currently i work at Shoe Stop and have been for the past year. Most people don't know where that is but it is beside Buffalo Wild Wings and Hobby Lobby. People have always told me not to talk bad about my job but i am going to do it anyways. When i first started working in the shoe business which was two years ago when i worked at shoe carnival before this job i thought it would be no big deal. What all is there to do at a shoe store? Well this question soon came answer in the worst way. Both shoe stores i have been in, all of the managers are spastic to the extreme about selling shoes. They just expect you to bug customers into buying shoes. I could be the only person who thinks this but when i shop for shoes i dont want anyone bugging me. At shoe stop there are at least 6 workers there all the time. That is alot for a stupid shoe place. One person per section ( ladies, mens, athletics, kids, cashier, and manager). If you don't ask every single person if they need help then you usually get in trouble by the manager. At night a little bit before we close we have to vacuum the whole store, pick up all the trash and make sure EVERY shoe box is straight on the shelf. I think that is crazy, there are more than 1000 shoes in that building and we have to make sure they are all straight by the end of the night. I am currently in the process of finding a new job!

The first time i drove a car.

The first time i ever drove a car was scaryyyy!! I was with my aunt Brandi and had to be at least 13 years old. She took me into a parking lot out in the middle of Whitesville and told me to hop in the drivers seat. I had no idea she was actually being serious. so i hoped in and as soon as i started driving my aunt turned pale. She was extremely scared and was fixing to panic. I thought i was doing well if i do say so myself. She said i should wait a very long time before trying to drive again and that she might have nightmares from this time.

The bad girls club

The bad girls club is my favorite reality t.v. show. Its just a bunch of trashy girls fighting and making complete fools out of them. They all have nothing else to do so they just pick on each other and argue with each other. I could compare most of those girls to people i go to school with but id rather not mention ;]. I love watching this show because its hilarious how immature and stupid they act and entertaining. A new episode comes on every tuesday and if im not at home i make sure to record it and watch it when i have time.

Haiti

What has happen in Haiti really touches my heart. i really feel for everyone there because of this huge devistation. if i could, i would help every single person over there. i could not imagine my home and whole country in ruins. no hospital to go to, or stores and businesses. living withouth water and food would literally kill me. im sure the smell there is aweful and would absolutely hate having to be around that. i hate the fact of all those poor children going through so much at a young age. Thats just not right and im not sure why this all happened. my heart goes out to everyone and i hope it all gets better soon.

Graduation

i cannot wait for graduation!!!! i cannot believe i have made it to my high school year and so very close to graduating and never have to step foot in apollo again. We are the class of 2010....the best year to ever happen. It is a stressful time getting everything ready for graduation and voting on cap, gowns, and senior song. The most important thing is making sure to pass all classes so that there is a chance for graduation haha. I am nervous about that night when so many people will be there and going through the motion and hoping that my parents will be there and i can finally see them.

UK Wildcats

This year i have jumped on the UK band wagon because they are winners. I used to be a Louisville fan because they were better. You cant really say im a true fan because im not due to the fact that i only like them because they are good this year. I like John Wall because i believe he is a true player. A true player to me is someone who isnt a ball hog and isnt all about the fame. They know how to control themselves on the court, pass to other team mates, and take some times to make the other players look good. John Wall has all these characteristics plus he can shoot really good too. I believe he will make it to the pros and go on to be a great all around player for whatever team he chooses to play for.

Careens computer

Recently in my life i have moved in with a friend and no longer live with my family at home. I miss my sister sooooo much and wish i could see her and spend time with her everyday. Anytime i have to use the internet for homework i have to spend most of my night at Careen Turner's house. Usually im here until 11 at night every other night and then i go to my friends house and go to bed. If it were up to me i would not be in this position. It is so hard to finish homework and have the drive to finish my homework instead of give up. Most nights i get all settled into the house i'm staying at and then i remember i have homework on the computer so i have to get up and go out in the cold and drive myself to Careens house to finish my homework. Then i have to go out in the cold again and drive back to the house. I dont complain about it much at all because its not something to brag about but i just thought i would take time to write about it since i cant think of much else to write about.

Winter

Winter is a wondreful thing. Whether its playing in the snow or inside with the family. Watching movies is my favorite thing to do in the winter. Watching the snowflakes fall outside is pretty awesome too. Winter is when the trees loose their leaves and become dormant and there is no color in the world. What i dont like about the winter is that many animals go into hibernation. Winter is not one of my favorite season except for the fact that Christmas is during the winter. Water freezes and causes ice to freeze on the roads and cause school to close!!!!! What i like about winter is this, that many days we get out of school because of the ice and snow. Winter, Winter, Winter, I love and dont love winterrrr!!!!

blogging

I have grown to hate blogging. At the beginning of the school year it wasnt that big of a deal, but now that i have to do it basically almost everyday i hate it. It would be sort of different if i wasnt forced to do it to get a good grade, but if i want that shining A+ then i have to blog every stinking day. The only plus to the blogging we have to do is that we can choose wateer topic we want to write about. Eventually when the suggested blog topics dont work for ya then you run out of topics to blog. Take for instane this blog, i should be blogging about ugly words and incoorporating them into a paragraph buuuuutt i cant think of any good ones and google wasnt helping me out. So basically this blog is because i have nothing else better to blog about and im stuck talking about it :]

Work

I work at shoe stop over by buffalo wild wings that used to be shoe carnival a long long time ago. If i had to recommend a job to anyone i would NOT recommend the shoe business. So much more goes into all of that then you think. During the day the grumpy managers are on your butt the entire day to help people. They just dont understand the fact that some people just dont like to be bothered when they shop or look for shoes. I know that whenever i look for shoes i dont like people to bother me. If we arent doing anything at all because no one wants help then we get in trouble. There are 12 aisles of no telling how many thousand pairs of shoes and by the end of the night, every shoe box has to be touched and straightened. When all of that is done and its closing time, the trash has to be taken out, every aisle perfect, all the shoes and drags are up, the bathrooms are checked and cleaned, the break room is to be cleaned and the trash in there taken out and finally the entire store has to be vacuumed. All of this is done EVERY night. Not only is that a pain, but the managers are not nice to the sales associates and it is the most stressful job in the entire world. Ahhhhhhh i love my job :] haha
