Good Day!!

So I'm very excited about today.

Seems to be going well so far.

In gym I scared two points in volleyball.

English class I got my test back from yesterday and I got a B.

That's okay I guess.

Although I though I was going to get an A, but a B is still good.

My dad found a doctor to go to so he can get better.

He's been really sick lately.

So now he has an appointment on tomorrow at one in the afternoon.

Last, but not least, I'm going car shopping after school!

I went Tuesday and the car that attracted me the most was a 2002 Lancer.

It's so cute!

We're going back to check it today but there's another car the guy wanted to show me.

There's no changing my mind though!

I want that Lancher!

We'll have to see after school.

Get "Cuckoo"

I guess I should say this now, I understand what's going on in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" but I just wish I hadn't of missed so much school so that way I could get the whole effect of acting it out in class. This has to be one of the funniest plays I've ever read and seen. My favorite part was when they were all fighting over the ciggerette in the group meeting and then Sefelt got the ciggerette stuck in his pants. When he started freaking out about it everyone thought it was just because he was crazy. Little did they know that his pants were starting to catch fire. The aides had to come to his assistance and tackle him down but McMurphy and Chief Bromden knew he wasn't going crazy so they jumped ontop of the men who were trying to calm Sefelt down.

Although I liked reading the play, I rathered the movie. It showed there reaction more and you got the full effect of how they really were. Overall, I enoyed the play and I plan on keeping up with the class so I can get into it like everyone else.

Writing A Letter To My 10 Year Old Self

Dear Younger Me,

Within the next six years, things get rough.

Things might not have been one hundred percent so far, but times change.

Prepare yourself for Mom to leave.

You wind up loosing contact with her because of the person she has become.

Daddy becomes the only person you can really trust no matter what.

All three sisters realize whats going on and the four of you become real close.

You also get three new doggies; they're too cute.

After 15 years of being inseperable with Sara, she turns her back when you need her the most and you're no longer friends.

Problem at High School North come along for Freshman and Sophmore year.

When you turn sixteen you move in with your new best friend Sammie.

You'll go through a lot with her.

Daddy's going to get real sick, but he's in the process of finding doctors.

Brittany finds out she's not going to be able to make it to law school this year.

Courtney moves out and talks to the family less.

Ashley works a lot and she's not home very often.

You're going to start having problems in your life but no matter what, you'll realize the certain people that matter in your life.


Sincerely,
You in ten years

SURPRiSE PARTY!!

So we through a surprise party for my Dad's birthday that's on Monday and it was so much fun! He wasn't surprised though but I figured he wouldn't be. There was a good amount of people here. The house was all decorated and there was so much food! Everyone got here at about 6 or 6:30 and my sister brought my Dad here at about 7, maybe a little after. Huge sucess if you ask me! I'm so tired from it still, sleep now! Byeeee :0)

S0 SAD

The other day my friend Sam and I were sitting in her living room talking to her mom and she was telling us about this song she had heard on the radio. Usually we really wouldn't care (not because we're rude just because she like country music and we don't). This time it was different. It sounded like such a good song by a new artist. Later on that day we went to my other house and went on myspace to look up the song. It was so sad, I was crying for about 90% of it. If you have time read the lyrics, it's so upsetting!



By: Jason Michael Carroll-


My little girl met a new friend,
just the other day,
on the playground at school
between the tires and the swings


But she came home with tear-filled eyes,
and she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa lies"


Well I just brushed it off at first,
'cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
or the things she had seen.
I wasn't ready when I said "You can tell me"


and she said...


"Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise"


My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep.
As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
"God bless my mom and my Dad
and my new friend, Alyssa *oh*I know she needs you bad


Because Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise"


(bridge)


I had the worst night of sleep in years
as I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
I knew just what it was I had to do *I knew exactly what I had to do*
but when we got to school on Monday I heard the news


My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
the lump in my throat grew bigger
with every question that she asked.
Until I felt the tears run down my face
and I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today


'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom
she doesn't lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
because there's nothin' anyone would do


Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies *
Oh Daddy, oh* Daddy tell me why
Alyssa lies

So we were told as a journal assignment to go into someone else's seat or different place in the classroom and see how much different it is there. I decided to sit in Lee's seat.

Sitting in Lee's seat makes me feel like a track star. Just sitting here makes me jittery wanting to go for a sprint. Where to? I don't know. To my locker to get a book? or to my house because I don't feel like being in school? Who knows? Just for a run.

I can see why she's so quiet, being in the corner front seat, there's no one around her! I think I feel a neckache coming on. Having to turn my head for almost 43 minutes to watch what Ms. Morrison does could really start to hurt after awhile!

How about after class though? I get to be the first one out! No worries about being late to my next period, not only do my track star abilities come into play, but so does the fact that I'm practically sitting outside the classroom!

See me as I see myself

If others see me as I see myself, they would see someone who's not comfortable in their own skin. My self esteem is not high regardless of what others may say, it's accually very low. I have it implanted in my head that there's always ten more pounds to loose and different ways to change my appearance. Everything always seems to go wrong and against me, my luck; well let's just say I have none. I bet you couldn't tell that was the real me, huh? I guess that's just what happens when you hide behind a fake smile all the time, and when you forget to put on that smile, you get the constant questions from everyone, "What's wrong?", "Are you okay?". Hiding my true feelings and discomforts just so happens to be what I'm best at.

Most Memorable Person

The most memorable person in my life would definitely have to be my Dad. He is alway there for me no matter what happens or what decisions I make. He's hardworking, patient, loving, giving, but best of all he's a child at heart. It's hard to believe that I went from a young girl who was not close with her father at all to being the biggest daddy's girl you could possibly meet (I even have a tatoo that says "Daddy's Girl" to prove it). Now he's like my best friend; I can tell him anything that's on my mind or bothering me. My Dad and I have become so close that we plan on getting tatoos together :0). I'm very excited about that! No matter what I won't forget all the things he's done for me.

Childhood memory<3

I'm sure growing up everyone had a favorite board game. Being the really cool kid that I was (sarcasim), Candy Land was my all-time favorite. Whoever came over my house, whether it was my aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, or even my sister's friends, they had to play it with me. I owned at Candy Land, there was no beating me! Maybe it was because I never really knew how to play, even to this day, so no matter what move I made, it was right and it made me win! Hopefully some day I find out the real rules to the game, but as of now, my rules are so much better. :0)

Divorces..

So why do parents get divorced so late if things arent going right for a while? Is it because they think staying together for longer can maybe fix the broken relationship? Or how about the famous excuse we stayed together for the children”. Have they actually sat down to realize what the bickering back and forth for such a long period of time can really do to a kid? In my case I look at myself to be lucky; I have three sisters and a best friend to always help me out when things really got rough with my parents divorce. Divorces can be one of the hardest things on a kid, especially my age. We have enough to worry about with school, boyfriends and girlfriends, friends, and just trying to find out whom we really are. These are the years that, in my opinion, mean the most. We have to start worrying about colleges and everything else that call effect our future. At times like this why should we have to worry about how much money one wants from another? Or what they need to have because of the sentimental value it has for them. I dont think parents know how hard it is for kids to go through a divorce. In my personal opinion, if things arent working out and feelings are obviously not as strong as they used to be, get the divorce then, dont make the children suffer just as long as you are because even though they ay not show it, it hurts them just as much, if not more.
