Well, as a team we did a really good job. I, however, did the worst at impromptu that I have ever done in my life. I don't know what happened, I guess I didn't feel it on Saturday. One of our PF (public Forum)took 1st another took 3rd and then our other 2 5th and 6th. The thing is that our PF team that won 1st had never done it before, it was their first time ever! They did really amazing though and we were all really proud of them. I didn't try to do congress and impromptu, it would have been all to crazy to have to run back and forth all day and never have a chance to relax.
This weekend is State Basketball!! Our girls made it!!! I am soo excited! No school on Monday, and then only two days of school and I am gone! Not to mention those two days of school, the teachers don't really do anything because a lot of people are gone any way!! I can't wait!

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.

Way I see it
The way people view things is always going to be different than yours. The way my mom may look at something is going to be totally different they what my little brother sees. It can be difficult trying to get along in life being hindered by that, but that is what is good about having different opinions or looking at things differently. You don't want to look at a flower just see a rose like someone else may. You want to look at it and see love, passion, fire, ect things that come to your mind when you see a rose or a puppy or anything else.
I hate trying to tell someone something you felt when you know no one else is going to have the same reaction to that certain thing, but when you really think about it, do you really want to have that feeling that meant so much to you being as popular as wearing socks with shoes?? No, I wouldn't. If something was that special to me, I would want to keep it to myself and never let anyone feel that feeling. It wouldn't be unique and it would make things way common and too much the same. Difference is good.
I also think that change is really important for us to see as a good thing. I have a friend that seriously can not take change. It takes him sooo long to realize that it is ok, change is good for you. The most consistent thing in the world is change. Isn't that so true? There is ever going to be change in the world, it is bound to happen. Letting your mind change and your heart change sometimes is a good thing. If you need to let go of something, you can change your mind and heart and say I am changing this, I need something new. I recently did that by changing my hair style and color.:) It was great to look in the mirror and see a new me.
The way I see the world is ten times different than how anybody else sees it. I like the way I see it. You are going to have people in your life that try to beat you down and make you see the world in the way they see it, but no can do with me. It is my life and the way I look at things can be different.
Any way that was just a bunch of rambling, but I needed to get all of this off my mind :)

So basically, I am obbsessed with the weirdest things...
I absolutely LOVE Criminal Minds! I love the premise and everything about it! I have watched the entire first season, and can't wait till I get the 2nd one on DVD. My favorite characters on the show are, well, all of them!!! I really like Dr. Spencer Ried tho :D! I think that he is such a cutie ;) Can you tell that I am a nerd? lol
I really like Garcia too. She is so hilarious!
Alright I am done ranting about it now :).
On completely different note, on Monday, one of my most favorite teachers passed away in a really weird freak accident. I will miss him so much. He was one of the most influential people in my life, and I will never forget him. His funeral was today, and it was SO packed that is was hard to find room to sit down. We had the entire placed packed.
He was a beloved coach, teacher, and mentor. I loved being in track and P.E. with him. He is in a better place and I know that the memory of him will live on forever. Thanks coach. Thanks so much.
