posting.... but what's the point?

Yeah so most of the people that actually care what I have to say are gone but oh well.

Friday BethAnne, Hannah, and I had a much needed girls night out. We ate at American Pie and I got a huge pile of food.... which reminds me... I think it's still in my car. Then we rented without a paddle. It was actually quite funny but maybe I was just in the right mood. I don't know. Then we had some girl talk time. We talked about things that you would like to know but unfortunately for you it's all confidential. I got home around 12:45 and went to bed.

Saturday I slept in til about 11:30 and then Sarah called and I called her back... still in my morning voice... I definitely have a hardcore morning voice and it usually lasts for about 20 minutes but anyway. We ended up going to St. Vincents so that Sarah could get this hot Gretel skirt for some german play she's in. I got a couple of books and some extremely hot earrings that most-likely don't match anything. Then we ate chinese and just barely caught Leslie before she left and she ate with us. It was a good time. My fortune said... "A suprise treat awaits you." So if you have my suprise treat... I'm waiting.

Today I had to get up really early for the sunrise breakfast at church. It started at 8 but we were a little late. I just now got back from my grandparents' house. That's always an exciting time... especially since all of my cool cousins were gone.

So now begins my exciting week of spring break. The only thing I have planned is going to see sarah on thursday and spending the night til friday and then on saturday there's the roller skating thing. I'm still not sure what's up with that I gotta call people and find out but it will probably be funner if I drive. hmmm.... Well I'm sure I'll have time to write more fun filled posts throughout the week. Tales of me doing huge piles of laundry and setting the world record for sleeping.

*Sigh*

I'm in a solemn mood. It could have something to do with the fact that practically everyone and there mother is going somewhere for spring break and I am not. Hmmm... If I can go visit Sarah, all will not be lost.

On a more positive note, I ran a mile today. Me and Hannah went to Harbor Inn and worked out and then went swimming. The whole thing made me sort of tired. I got home and took a shower and then I was watching tv and I fell asleep for about 20 minutes... still in my bathrobe.
So today was mostly uneventful. I'm definitely getting tired of my mink. He's starting to gross me out. Before bio, Hannah told me that Joel was gonna ask me to Prom at lunch. So I was waiting and trying to act like I had no idea and then he did and I said ok. I think it will be fun. It might be weird if he goes with the mossy oak tux because that will definitely clash with my pink puffy dress.

But anyway.... I think Sarah could undersand how I've been feeling lately. It's kind of a weird senior thing. Like everything is normal but you now it's only a matter of time before you have to face reality. Spring Arbor still hasn't sent me my financial aid stuff. I'm getting very impatient.

Chicken A La King

I made supper today. It was quite good but I ate too much and then I was really full.

Today was one of those days where I just felt like being a rebel. I didn't go to my aid hour, or the pal meeting and then I snuck out of precalc and watched the junior class movie. It was fun though. I was supposed to help kev with his grades. I feel kinda bad about that, but I can do it tomorrow. Doc might be mad at me now though and I may have blown my chances for the pre-calc award but I don't care. I think I have major senioritis mixed with really not wanting to leave at the same time.

Senior Stuff-

Quote: Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it. –Hardy D. Jackson

Song: DJ Mystik - Inspector Gadget Techno Remix

Will: (can't post this it will ruin the suprise!)

Future Plans: I plan to attend Spring Arbor University to pursue a degree in Graphic Design.

So anyway I have a hot senior will. I guess I can say that I willed ross my techno remixes and my tree hugger shirt and Ben my mad growling skills, but Ryan's and Joel's are a suprise. Ben's was supposed to be a suprise but he guessed it and Ross was helping me write it.

Well my spring break should be loads of fun. My parents still haven't told me for sure if I can visit sarah. I'm planning on going with her parents to her concert but I also want to go sometime during the week. Other than that there's just easter and then the roller skating party on the 2nd that only me and Joel will be around to go to. It's ok, I've come to terms with the fact that I must stay home from spring break.... I'll survive... at least I can sleep in.

If I could stop time......

I'm not sure I want to leave high school. It's been so fun lately. Today I realized that after this week I only have 2 more months until I graduate.

Well my weekend wasn't too bad. Saturday was state Solo/Ensemble. I rode with BethAnne and we left around noon. We did good on our quartet and got a one. For some reason the judge actually liked the grossly disgusting chord at the end. Then we all ate at the China Buffet and I had some sort of bad tasting sushi thing and a bunch of crab legs. Well I had a bunch of other stuff too but that's all I remember. We drove home in the raging blizzard and went to Ben's. In the car I froed my hair and put it in pigtails. It was hot. We were planning to watch movies but we ended up going snowmobiling and it was super awesome. I even got to drive one for the first time. We started watching the Incredibles but BethAnne and I had to leave before it was over.

Bible Study was fun last night and we all just hung out for awhile afterwords. I didn't leave until like 10:40.

Today was mostly boring. I had to try my solo for Angie in voice. I wasn't sure about it and was thinking I didn't want to do it but she thinks I should so I guess I will. I'm feeling slightly sore from snowmobiling.

It's seriously 87 degrees in our house. Okay so it's only 80 but it feels pretty hot. I kinda like it though. 3 more days til break....

home sweet home....

Today was one of those days where I just wanted to go home. It wasn't bad or anything, maybe because it's friday. All I did today that was exciting was more mink dissecting and trombone quartet... and then I dropped of Joel and Derrick and went mud bogging.

Yesterday was fun though. After school Hannah, BethAnne and I worked out and then went swimming. I haven't been swimming in forever. It seriously needs to start getting warm out.

Well solo/ensemble is tomorrow. That will be fun. I think we're stopping at Good Will on the way home and everyone knows how I feel about Good Will.

I think I'm going to post the personal statement I had to right for the Guy and Delores Corey scholorship. It's kind of interesting but sort of long so don't feel bad if you don't read it all.

I believe that each person has the power to make a positive impact on the world. My future plans include attending Spring Arbor University for a degree in Graphic Design. Although college and my career are important there are other important things that I would like to accomplish in my lifetime.

The reason why I have chosen Graphic Design as my field of study is because it is my dream job. Being someone who is interested in Art and enjoys being creative, I knew that I wanted to go into some sort of Art program. Since computers are another one of my top interests I decided to pursue Graphic Design. It is something I could excel in but also be happy and content. To me the most important element in choosing a career is whether or not you will be happy doing it.

Although my choice in college is not set in stone, I hope to be attending Spring Arbor University this fall. I chose this college because of its strong values as well as its good learning environment and graphic design program. Most colleges have world views that conflict with my morals, but Spring Arbor has Christian values instilled in its curriculum. They even have a Foreign Service requirement that allows students to experience another culture. When I visited the college I knew that it was a place I wanted to be. Spring Arbor has awarded me with the Presidential Scholarship. Still, there is some unmet financial need that may deter me from attending this college.Deciding on a career is very important. However, there are other essential aspects of life.

I have always known that I have a greater purpose for being here. Now and in the future I hope to make a difference in the lives of other people. Having been on several mission trips with my youth group, I have acquired a desire to help other people. Graphic Design is a field that could potentially allow me to reach a large number of people through advertising, publications, etc. I am not sure what the extent of this will be, but I know that I would like to use my education to serve others.

In addition, I also plan on someday getting married and having children. I hope to pass on the values and principles that my parents have so lovingly passed on to me. When I get married I plan on it being forever. I will know when I find the one and will not settle for less. He will be the one I grow old with and share life’s experiences.

Ten years from now I see myself with a successful job, a wonderful family, and a fulfilling life. That is my life goal and this scholarship would greatly help me to achieve it. I promise to try my hardest to make a difference and carry out this ambition. Thank you for considering me.

agh!!!!

I tried to fix my stupid blog so that you wouldn't have to scroll down to see if I posted. Unfortunately it didn't work. If anyone knows what's wrong with it clue me in. Kev told me not to go on the computer but I already organized everything so what else am I supposed to do.

At lunch Joel sprayed marinara everywhere. It got on my back so now I'm wearing my coat. Me and Hannah skipped the first part of our aid hours to listen to BethAnne's incredibly long speech. We sat by Joel and everyone wondered why we were in there. Today in Bio we got to see an opossum's face get ripped off. It was quite disturbing and it made our mink look quite inviting. Hannah accidently smacked me in the face with her minky glove but luckily it was the part that didn't have mink juice on it.

We might have a pre calc study party tonight. I don't really want to study but I guess I should try to do good so that I can get the pre calc award. Also I should be decided by the end of march on where I'm going to college. I'll post when I make my final decision.

Eww the middle schoolers are going to be coming in soon. Last class kev was in a meeting and was like a half hour late and I tried to control the obnoxious animals but then mrs fritz came and they went to her class.

Well I guess that's all. I just wanted to make a small effort at blogging more.

Sausage seems depressed lately

So much fun stuff has happened in the past week that I can't go into to much detail.

Drummond Island was super fun. Skiing, hide and go seek in the dark/snow (Me and Hannah almost froze to death), rice pudding and the opossom face. I wrote all about it in the Drummond Island journal and I think it would be painful to try and redo it. It was great and no one wanted to leave. It's sad that they'll probably make it a yearly thing and I won't get to go again.

Monday we had a senior skip day. They ended up letting school out at 11 anyway because the power went out. I guess someone ran into a pole or something ... I don't know. But anyway Hannah, BethAnne, Ronnie, Isaiah, Joel, and I went to Hunan's in Saginaw and then went to the Bay City Mall and watched Cursed. It was pretty good if you like warewolf movies.

Tuesday was pretty normal... we had bible study which is always fun. Joel brought Derrick. We listened to joel play guitar for a while, did our lesson, and then played some intense ping pong and watched the guys run really fast on the treadmill....

Wednesday I went to a Pistons game with Ronnie, Hannah, and Isaiah. They ended up beating the Warriors 92 to 88. It was a good game and the tickets were only $10. Plus we got a ticket for free hotdogs, drinks, popcorn, and parking. Our seats were quite crappy but we managed to sneak into some empty ones that were much better.

Well that's pretty much the fun stuff. Thursday I had my volleyball banquet. I got the gatorade will to win athlete award which I found somewhat humorous for reasons that I will not go into. We also got some cool shirts with everyones signature on the back. Oooh I forgot to mention that we started dissecting minks in advanced bio and it is no longer my least favorite class. I thought I would be really grossed out but I'm not at all. On Tuesday I got mink guts on my volleyball sweatshirt and then I accidently stabbed hannah with my sharp probe. Hannah put mink hair on Matt and he was really grossed out. I think it's fun....

Well I guess we're mostly up to date.... Today we practiced for trombone quartet after school. I officially hate the trio. I also showed of my mad growling skills and Joel showed off his super human strength by lifting my up and almost sticking my head in the garbage.

*sigh* .... Right now I'm trying to send sarah a song on msn and it's literally taking 12 years....

Swealtering

It's 76 degrees in our house right now. Everyone else is dying but I'm doing okay. Our new outside wood furnace is working quite well. I'd rather have it be 77 than 67 anyways.

So I've gotten a lot accomplished on this day off. I took a shower, went for a walk in the woods, did some laundry, and downloaded some music. We're supposed to get even more snow tonight so who knows we might not even have school tomorrow.

The Drummond Island trip is this weekend! I'm so excited. The snow came just in time. Hopefully we won't all end up too gross, going without a shower for 3 days. Oh well what can you do?

You have no idea how nice it is to have no more volleyball. I mean sure it would've been great for us to win districts but then I'd still be having practice everyday. Now I actually have time to do some stuff. I think I'm still gonna try to work out though. Maybe bethanne and I can do it together. I don't want to get fat or anything.

Well I suppose that is all for now. I just thought I should post since I haven't made an actual post in like 2 weeks.
