Wow! My graduation is creeping ever closer and the reality of really being gone and never seeing most of my friends again is really depressing, but the chance to go out and experience a life outside of the one I am living is exciting! I have applied for 2 different colleges, still unsure of where I am actually going to go, but keeping my options open. In the end I think I will have applied for 4 different colleges, then I will sort through which ones really matter :)
High School life is great :) I am going to fail pre calc though... WHY on earth did I not get any of the math genius of my father?? I can't fail!! I am trying not to and I do say getting a C to a B is great improvement! Hopefully it will be up to an A!!! Pray for my math grade everyone reading this!!! It needs all the help it can get!!!!! Well, I do, but specifically in math.
Well, I hope all of you have a wonderful Saturday or whatever day it is where you are!

Why am I so lazy??
You would think that because my blog is my home page on my computer that I might actually write stuff on it right?? Well, I have no idea why it always takes me so long in between post. I apologize!! The reason why I waited so long this time was because I was going to get pictures done, and then post them, but we have had to reschedule and stuff so many times! I feel soo bad for my photographer :P
Well new developments, um well school is absolutely HECTIC and crazy. Homework is never ending and the drama is just as bad. I am getting by though, and that is all I can ask for :) We do have 3 foreign exchange students! A girl from Columbia, a girl from Denmark, and a boy from Germany. I have mixed emotions about my classes, but one that I love for sure is my AP European History class! I love learning about history, and as my teacher told us today, if we don't remember or learn from history, we are bound to repeat it. It is really sad when we look at our education system and see how 1/2 of the high school seniors out in the US can't even find Cuba on a map so they give us more science and math to do. Yes, that makes a ton of sense to me too. When we will hardly EVER use upper math in the real world, we will use history for the rest of our lives, and we should be taught about it more.
Ok, that was my ranting for the day :D
The rest of my life is actually going pretty well :) I might be getting an amazing new job and I am stoked for it!
Anyway, I hope to have my pictures taken soon, and I will post them on here when I do have them completed lol :D
On a side note, tennis went really, really well this season! 3rd varsity singles was an awesome spot to play in. I came close to all of the team this year and I am so glad that I played again. It is so sad to think that I am done with it though! Last year and it depresses me. The good thing about tennis is that it is a life time sport! I can play it for forever! :)
Well, till next time!

What a non-stop life I am living!!!
I have not had a real weekend till just this last one. All of the other weekends consisted of me going to speech and debate meets all over the place. I went to Taylorville for Warrior Wars, then I went to West Lake, then the team made its way down to Snow Canyon in St. George 2 weeks ago. This Saturday I am going to go to another meet in Richfield (we are SOO going to dominate region!! Total sweeps!! Down with Juab!! hehehe). I did really well on all of my events at all of the meets. I placed in Novice Student Congress at West Lake and with impromptu, I was ranked 2 5's(superiors) and one 4(excellent)!!! At snow canyon, I was ranked 1st and 2nd speaker in congress and received 4th place in impromptu!!!
Not only does my life consist of speech and debate, I have state basketball next weekend, then prom on March 4th!!! These past few months have been SOOO crazy and non-stop!!
I was able to get a dress that I love, and it is Tangerine!! SO not what I expected, but it is beautiful none the less :) Will be posting soon after Richfield to say if we dominated or not :)

The last straw...
Ever been pushed to the edge of what you are capable of handling? Ever been so close to that precipice that if you shift just a fraction of an inch you fall with out warning and spiral into what seems like a never ending cycle of everything bad? Yeah the month of January was that way for me.
I have a lot of friends that are all really close to each other, but as high school goes, drama becomes a part of everything anybody does, and it somehow found a way to weasel into my friendships. I have had to be between 7 different friends. I was the one they came to when they needed help, and they all came to me when they all ended up having problems with each other also. I was so happy that they came to me. I was happy that they knew that they could trust me, and I like helping my friends, but it got a point where the problems were the only things that mattered. I was in turn ignoring some of my own pressing matters, and it got so bad that I pushed myself to the edge.
It was on the 31st that I finally let it all go. I let out all of that stress and all that had built up, I cried and all that I wanted to do was stay home for ever and never do anything again. It taxed me mentally and physically. I didn't know if I could go on anymore, but then I learned an important lesson. I am not alone, and I never was alone the entire month of January even though I thought that I was. I just didn't turn to my Savior. He was waiting the whole time for me to realize that he was there and was willing to take all that I was feeling if I just gave it to him. It has taken me all month to realize this, but I know now that he cares for sure. He wants to help you with all if the things that seem too frivolous to bother Him with, but nothing is too small OR too big. He loves us. I know this. Turn to Him and he will help you in any situation.

Most nights writing the paper scared me out of my wits, and made me happy that I know karate. teehee! I do have to apologize to everyone for being away for so long. I am back now, or for how ever long my life allows me to be. School is going great, and I am likeing that way it has been going the past couple of weeks. I got a 4.0 GPA on my 2nd term grades!! Woot woot! So far I have a 3.95 (one -A!! One!!) and a 4.0! Makes me happy.
I will be leaving for state Basketball soon! I am really excited! I am playing in the pep band (hahah yeah I know that I am a nerd :D At least I can say that I play percussion)I am so excited!!! It is going to be a blast!!

The joys and downs of a teenager's life
Yes well, I have been slightly depressed the past 2 days, because I tried out for the High school softball team, and I didn't make it. I did really well at try-outs, but I guess not good enough. I am thinking about trying out next year, but before that, I am going to work my BUTT off trying to get better at my favorite sport. :) Some of my friends made it, and that is all that matters now. I am going to be their BIGGEST cheerleader! WOOHOO SPARTANS SOFTBALL GIRLS!!!! I still plan on going out for county softball, and I can't for for that :)
Any way, to go on with the good stuff in life, I had a pretty good day at school, I had a test in math (yes I know, all of you out there reading this are going, she is happy to have a math test???!!! but yes I am happy for one.) My friend gave me a note in class today telling me how much she loves me, and how she wishes I could be with her on the softball team. Last but not least, I can now do a backflip off the diving board! Yay!!!
