again.

I don't think I've ever posted two blogs so close together. I've just been thinking a lot lately and when I think too much I need to share it with someone. I decided to compose a list of the main things on my mind:

1. swimming - I'm doing really well. Even though I got kicked off the A relay, I know I've earned my spot back.


2. school - it's so stressful and I don't deal with stress very well. Plus, why do we have to get new lockers? I'm going to miss Nick and Liza and Hannah.


3. I hate having hairy legs.


4. I recently lost my best friend and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I could write a whole other post on that, which I might do.


5. I have such great new friends, I'm so blessed.


6. I really want to get out of this funk I've been in for the last 3 years and just be happy with myself.


7. And lastly, I like this guy. Only not really. I don't know why I like him or think about him alll the time. The only time he texts me is when he's looking for someone to hook up with. Maybe it's the attention he gives me? I don't know, but someone needs to slap some sense into me.

PS, I'd really like these for Christmas.

These, and a car.

Speed of Light

My life is going so fast. I remember being a little girl and dreaming about high school and driving and how it all seemed so far away. Now it's here and it's flying by.

It's already winter again. Almost 2011.

Consumed.

It's all I can think about. I tell absolutely everyone. I can't wait, I'm so anxious.
I'm getting my braces off on November 22.

This is me with braces:






This is me on November 22:

Blessed.

I am unbelievably blessed. I have everything going for me, and sometimes I don't even realize how good I have it.

I have a loving family who is always there for me. I've never expierenced the pain of someone close to me dying. I live in a nice house and have nice things. I'm smart and don't have anything wrong with my brain. I don't have any health problems. I have friends that I can talk to and hang out with, including Hannah Lange who recently dedicated a post to me ( www.mylifeashannahlange.blogspot.com )

Sometimes I get upset and think things that are more on the sad side, but really, I'm a happy person. I like my life and I wouldn't want it to change.

Sad

The cold weather and cloudy days always make me feel a little sad. It's a weird feeling; I don't know if sad is the right word to describe it. A longing, almost. Longing for sunnier, warmer days. Don't get me wrong, I'm not wishing for 89 degree days. But somewhere around 73 would be nice.

Easton is opening up a new H&M store and I'm really excited for that. I love that store, but I don't own anything from there because they didn't have one anywhere near here. The new and improved Forever 21 is opening up soon (maybe this week?) too and I can't wait.

One thing I can wait for: report cards. Yikes. My grades are decent, but not where I would want them to be. I have an A in bio, and B's in everything else. It's so weird, I always hated science but I always seem to have the best grade in there (with the exception of Mrs. Kuhl's 8th grade physical science).

Happy Halloween!

Fall

I love, love, love the brisk fall air and wearing warm sweaters and boots every day.



I did pierce my ear. I love it. It hurts under my marching band hat though. I've joined Key Club and Spanish Club and I'm going to play lacrosse in the spring. I'm also writing for the school paper. Needless to say, I'm pretty busy.



Here is a lovely photograph of all my hard work I've been putting in at band practice:

Summer Went So Fast

There's exactly 13 days left of summer. School starts the 30th. I'm not looking forward to it. Usually I'm excited to go back to school, but not this year.

As an employee of the Pickerington Community Pool (which really isn't a community pool at all because you have to pay 7 bucks to come with a guest or be a member, dumb.) I've saved two young lives this summer. Haha, I was so proud of myself.


MY PLANS FOR THE REST OF SUMMER:

since the pump at the pool broke I don't have to go to work tomorrow. I'm planning on going to the orthodontist who willl tell me it's only a few more months until I get my braces off just like he's been telling me for the last 18 months. after that depressing news my grandma and I are going to go to my favorite store, TJ Maxx. I have to get my best friend a birthday present.
after that I'll spend the day with my grandma until my mom gets off work and takes me to get my ear pierced. I'll post a picture.

I work all day Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, 12-4 on Friday. $$$$$ I'll probably hang out with someone this weekend.

Then the week of the 23rd I have band Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

I plan to spend the rest of my time vegging out before I have to go back to my busy schedule of band, school, clubs, and homework. Blah.

summer

Oh, geez. My summer's been so busy. I've been going to swim practice every morning at 6:30am, working at the Pickerington Community Pool, band practice (actually, I haven't really been going because I've had to work..) and a billion other things. I have seriously only had one day this entire summer where I did absolutely nothing and that was June 10th, the day after school got out. I just slept all day. But I like doing something all the time.

My Summer In Pictures

Well, I had a bunch more pictures to add but I'm getting tired of this.

>:l

All I've felt today is anger. For real. I'm so angry. At everyone and everything. I'm going to make a list of everything that pissed me off today.

Things That Pissed Me Off Today Even Though I Should Be Happy Because It Was The Last Day Of School:

1. my mom
2. my dad
3. my brother
4. when my parents say they'll take me somewhere and then back out at the last minute
5. when tv shows spend like a year building up suspense
6. when my mom wants me to go be friends with the neighbors
7. people who make out in the hallways at school, seem to be done, and the go "one more" and make out for like another hour
8. when i get blamed for my lack of cell phone service at school
9. exams
10. no chocolate chip cookies
11. people who call me and don't answer when i call right back
12. people who are going to go to north next year that i actually like
13. people who are NOT going to north next year but should because i can't stand them
14. dish tv
15. waiting for someone to show up for dinner and they're 29 minutes late
16. lanes that 'suddenly' end on 33
17. not having plans to hang out on the first night of summer

That's all.

Thank You:

Mom, Grandma, Lizzie, Talor, Hannah, Alex, Erika Watts, Erika Lynn, Anneliese, Uncle Shiv, Aunt Christy, Dad, Shana, Aaron, Susan, Lindsey, Kaylynn, Esther, Toby, Asha, Kaylin, Brandon, Atticus, Joe, and everyone else who made freshman year a really good year.

As much as I hated Mr. Planisek and learning the preterite verbs in Spanish this was a really good year. I'm glad I go to Pickerington now. I hope the rest of my time at Central goes just as well as this year did.

Some highlights of the year:

Here's to SUMMER '10 :)

Memorial Day Weekend

My weekend was good. I went to DC with my momma. We stayed with her friend Tami who has three little girls. They were so cute. We went and saw Shrek The Final Chapter in 3D which I actually really enjoyed. It's craaazy how good 3D has gotten.

Amelia is my favorite. She's three.

I love funny t-shirts.

I got a little carried away.

But, I love bustedtees.com :)

High School English..

..is not any harder than middle school English. It's definitely the teacher. I want to punch myself every day after spending 40 minutes with Pete. I don't think he realizes just how much we are creeped out by him. And we jump from poetry to novels and it seems to have no organization. I don't understand the cirriculum. All I know is that I strongly dislike him. But I also feel sorry for him..


I have driving school again tonight. There are some cuuuute guys there.

My birthday's coming up soon..

This morning I went to driving school and it was probably the most fun I'll ever have in my whole life.

I spent like a year shopping online. And you know, my birthday is coming up in 28 days. So you should probably start shopping now.. :)


You could go to Francesca's:










Or you could get me this nice underwater digital camera :)



And I'd pretty much wear anything from Urban Outfitters or J Crew.

If you really wanted me to like you, you'd get me this:

First Post Ever.

Fashion blogs, i.e. The Satorialist, whowearwhat.com, etc.
Swimming,
Reading, i.e. Harry Potter :) , Pretty Little Liars, Ellen Hopkins
My puppies Sammy and Cruiser,
ma bff Lizzie,
Coffee,
Talking

Cool. I'll probably do this again tomorrow. Okay, bye.
