Snow No More

As it turns out, there was no snow day. I was actually quite happy. I really wanted to have school still happen because it was only a half day, and it was the only day we could study and review for our "big test". I thought it was really big, but it was really only 20 points worth. Lame! I was kind of sad, but now I"m not. Half the snow has melted already. Hurray!!!

My Best Friend

Just tonight, I hung out with my best friend Cosette. Cosette used to live, literally blocks from my house. We are like sisters. We have so much in common, and we both are L.D.S. She even used to be in my ward. I am quite sad because if she hadn't have moved during the summer, she would have been going to Manning with me. I just felt like sharing with you about my best buddy. (even if she doesn't know it : ) )

School Acomplishments

School has been pretty good as a thirteen year old. I really like my language arts teacher and the actual class itself. I used to like math better, and actually hated language arts. Now I love language arts, I love to read, write, and be creative. I also really like social studies. My teacher is really nice, and it's really fun to learn about ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, ancient China, and Rome. I really excited to learn even more! I think choir is my favorite though, because it's where I shine. I have a really good friends in choir, Mrs. Mendez lets us talk, and i just love it. I even have a solo in the concert on Tuesday. Really nervous/excited/anxious. Math is not my favorite at all. I feel like I'm not that good, but at least my average is a B+. Computers is super fun. Not to brag or anything, but I'm the fastest in my class. I'm in the 50's now, my highest, is 51wmp. I think Life Science is quite boring. All we do is sit down and read notes that we have to copy. The thing is, I sit in the back of the classroom, so sometimes, I have a hard time reading what is on the board. Access is a good class. The only thing that bugs me is that this boy who sits next to me always tries to talk to his friend across me. It's really annoying. Well that is my overview of school for now. I feel like I am shining in my own subjects.

Sick Week

I have had a pretty bad week. After dance practice on Monday, I started feeling sick. On Tuesday, I was sure I was sick. I had a sore throat, i had the sniffles, and I did just plain did not feel well. Wednesday, i stayed home because it got worse. Thursday, I also stayed home, but it was a little bit better, yet still not great. Today, I still stayed home feeling the same way as Thursday. I actually went to the doctor today and found out I only had a virus. So, the doctor gave me a Z-pack. All in 5 days I will be better, hopefully sooner. :)

How Did I Go From Little Girl to Young Women?

I was recently looking at random pics of me last summer. I looked like such a little girl then. Even though I was only 11. Imagine me, short hair, two canine teeth missing and no bangs. Funny, right? That makes me realize that I look so much more mature. I like checking my family's blogs, to see what they are thinking. About 2 weeks ago, I was checking my mom's. There was my seventh grade picture, Mom said,"How did she skip that gawky seventh grade stage?" Wow, it's amazing how we take for granted the little years of our lives.

Lucky, or Unlucky 13?

My highlight of the month so far is that I am now a teenager! I turned 13 on the 4th of September, i am happy. I got my number one gift, a kindle.

In my opinion,  a kindle is much better than a nook. For one, it does not ruin your eyes. It has no back light in the screen, so it looks like a real book page. I can surf the web, read as many books as I like, shop on the actual kindle without going to the store, and can play games.

Oh yeah, gifts. I also got some really cute clothes, a $25 gift card to TJ Max, $25 cash, a willow tree angel, the angel of courage, and a stick-on-to-the-wall chandelier. I ahd a great birthday, even though it was on a fast Sunday. Oh don't forget the "lucky charms" cereal!

Middle School!

I started middle school on monday! I have the bestest friend ever, so that makes it all the more fun. I am excited every day to learn something new, and see all my new friends. I love school.

Sometimes i just hate my hair

I get very frustrated with hair easily because i have so much of it. It's not really long, just really thick. So braiding on my own is pretty hard. i really just want to get it out of my face, or rip it all out. Either one is fine. I know it might be a little strange that I'm writing about hair, but i just feel like it. I really love my hair, but sometimes i don't. Most of the time, i love my hair, but when i can't find anything to do with it or anything to put it up with, i get really frustrated.
(to tell you the truth, sometimes i even cry.) ha ha

What Time is it?

My favorite thing to do is clog. It's a type of tap dance, except with white shoes, double-tapped. It's really loud, energizing, and fun. I actually start dance class on August 22nd, also the first day of school. I got new shoes this year because over the summer, i grew 1 1/2 shoe sizes. They are so pretty. Imagine this, pure, white, clean, shining taps, waiting to be worn. It makes me joyous just thinking about it. I'm so excited! Happy, happy me. :)

Emphasizing the Moment

This isn't my locker, but it's just to emphasize how i feel. Ready for middle school, and lockers of course.

Class of 2017

         Welcome school year of 2011-2012! As you might guess from my banner i am starting middle school. Seventh grade, the world of locker combinations and homework. I'm actually really nervous for seventh grade. A whole new school to get lost in and be late for class, getting to the right classroom, and fitting in.
         The good thing is that the first day belongs to only the seventh graders. A whole bunch of lost and confused 12 and 13 year old kids. What a joy. I'm not saying I'm perfect or anything, i mean i and going to be the most lost and confused kid there( ha ha ). It will just be hard for the teachers because they don't want to lose any kids on the first day. At least i have one of the best lockers for my schedule; half my classes are in the same hallway and it's easy to remember because it is one of the few red ones in that section, on the top at the end of the hall. Also my best friend is going to a different school, so i have to make new friends. I'm a little scared about that too. Well at least i have my parents and family to support me in my doings. Good luck to all middle school students, good luck!
