blogging

Well, my mom told me that I needed to blog, but I don't really feel like blogging. So, I decided to appease (sp??) her by the blogging of a promise of another much better blog some time later.

"I promise I will have another blog sometime later, of something much more better."

much more better... hmm... that's like what Captain Jack Sparrow says...

"It is a drawing of a key!"

Yeah...

dance

I took a friend of mine from school to the church dance last night. I think she had a lot of fun. :) She actually got out and danced, and socialzed with other people. IT was a really good dance, we all had a lot of fun, and the DJ played good music. Ellen (my friend) had gone to Muir's homecoming on Friday, and said it wasn't as good. They had a small dance floor so it was really hard to dance, she said she had a lot more fun at ours. teh heh.

I was really tired this morning though. >_<

Homecoming

Well, last night was our turkey tussle (homecoming game) and we won (duh) 21-6. woohoo!
I went with one of my friends... and... yeah. It was fun. We ate skittles and talked and of course watched the game. Until the 3rd quarter that is, we kind of stopped after that.

I got a good grade on my short story in English. :) The one that I spent 6 hours writing all in one night.

Ummmm... oh, I have a violin recital tomorrow! It's going to be very exciting, the next oldest student after me is nine years old, and just starting a piece near the beginning of the Suzuki book. I'm going to have so much fun. haha. Erin (my teacher) and I are going to play "I know that my Redeemer Lives" as a duet.

Oh yeah, I've decided that I'm glad im not in marching band this year, because the drum major (why do they even call them that? they're not percusssion...) is a jerk. And, I'm sad about water polo, because my coach is kind of a flake.

Squirell

So apparently... Mom didn't want me to tell this story, but Judy says she's waiting to hear it, so I think Mom secretly DOES want me to tell it. Even though, it was like, forever ago (sorry Judy).

Well, Mom and I were driving home after she picked me up from school one day, and we were talking about various things. I see a little squirrel run in front of our car, Mom doesn't, and I really didn't think anything of it, because it happens all the time right? Then I heard the little "thump". I started freaking out, except, I was laughing. It was amazingly funny, and sad. At the same time. So I made her turn around to see if we had hit it, and sure enough, there's the squirrel lying in the middle of the road. It was weird though, because, it like, didn't look like it had been run over. It looked like it had found itself underneath a car and died of a heart attack.

Yeah, crazy stuff man...

p.s.
I handwrote a six page rough draft for a story in english yesterday, in around 3-4 hours. I felt very fulfilled.

Had to put it up...

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

aren't we cute??? ;)

After much encouragement...

I have decided to post again!!!

School has obviously been occupying most of my time, so I guess I'll talk about that first. I can't tell you how glad I am it's Friday, school is exhausting! I don't een know why! It's not like it's that hard or anything. Of course, have of it is probably seminary at 6:00 in the morning, and water polo after school.

I still like my English class the best. My history teacher is pretty cool though. The class, however, is pretty dry as of yet. All we've done lately is read out of the textbook. He says he'll be bringing in more things to do than read soon though.

Water polo is makingg me buff, woohoo! It's also giving me a nice tan. The pool gets colder every day though. In fact, yesterday the coach made me and jackie do seperate stuff from what the boys were doing, (we were the only girls who had our swimsuits... it's a long story) and at first had us eggbeat from side to side across the pool until the boys were done with their laps. We couldn't even feel our legs anymore after the first couple times across, it was ridiculous. After much contemplation, I have found that I do NOT want to actually want to have a season. Memories of games don't seem very appealing... I just like going to practice. Oh well...

Hmmm.... I guess I'll have to throw something else in, or all of my entries will be about school and water polo. Abel and Alex are teaching me this...thing... a drum thing. There isn't really a name for it, we just call it the trash can thing. Basically, several drummers all playing on trash cans, it's really cool though. You just kind of have to see it. I'm excited about learning it though, it's one of the only times I've let them teach me anything on the drums. I still flatly refuse to join drumline, so I think they're glad to get whatever chance they can.

POPCORN!!!!



Here's a movie of Emily singing the beloved popcorn song! Accompanied by myself, and a frend of mine from church.

Sorry if it isn't very good quality, I've never used photobucket for videos before.

My first.... two days?.... of school

Because for some reason, Muir starts in a Thursday. I guess they do that so that everyone can try to correct their schedule, I mean, come on now, who has ever started out the year with the schedule they wanted?

Yesterday I didn't have my suit for water polo (as my first schedule had told me I was going to be take regular average PE...) so obviously I wasn't in the pool. Today my coach canceled on us without telling any of us... (????????? yes, even for 6th period, not just after school!) I didn't really get that, but whatever. So now I haven't been to practice in a week, and I dread going back.

Orchestra is tiny.... One stand of second violins, two stands of firsts ... and all those other people in an orchestra... I guess that means I actually have to play well this year. Dangit!

And then there's all those other classes. You know the ones I'm talking about. I like my English class... the first two days of it anyway, but I can't really say much about my other classes yet.

I dunno, I'm feeling a bit pessimistic about it all really. Hope things will turn out well though! >_<

September 5, 2006

woohoo!

My first post! yes!

Well, today, my Mom took me down to the school, because i was supposed to have water polo practice. When we got there the gate was locked, so, we drove around the school once to see if the kids were practice on the field or something. My coach drove by us (i thought it was him anyway), so we went back to the pool deck, but the gate was still locked! So, I didn't go to practice today. I still haven't figured out whether I'm bummed out about that, or whether I'm happy. Maybe I'll post again when I figure it out.

Oh yeah, and I'm also going to post about our Utah trip when I upload a couple of pictures onto the computer.
