Sick Day

Lately I have been having these absolutely terrible sinus headaches! It has now gotten to the point that my head feels like it is going to explode. I did not think that I would make it through the day so I decided to just stay at home. Unfortunately, I accidentally took the "night"  sinus medicine, so I am also extremely tiered right now!

I can't believe that the freshman year is almost over! Only two more weeks of school and then exams. This year has just flown by. At my school, the seniors have their last day tomorrow!

Right now, I am playing a ton of soccer. I had another tournament this past weekend! We did not win this one, but we came in a close second. The game came down to penalty kicks to decide the winner... and well, we lost :(   Second is good though!

Soccer Tournament and Temps!

Just recently I had my half-birthday, and was really excited to get my temporary license. It is so weird to start to see my friends driving, or even imagining myself driving! It is pretty weird, but fun... and sometimes a little bit stressful...

I just had a soccer tournament this weekend, and my team played amazing! In four games we scored 15 goals and 0 were scored against us. It was awesome, and we won the tournament which was really exciting!

At school, I have had a lot of quizzes/tests this week... 2 Spanish, Geometry, English...
Also in Biology we have a big lab/project about Ecological Footprints of other countries. It was really cool learning just how big of an impact each individual leaves on the planet. We watched this really cool National Geographic movie about how much of an impact we really make, and it was crazy. There was stuff about how each person uses and average of 3,300 diapers in their lifetime, and how much food, how many trees it takes to build a house, etc.

Spirit Week

At my school, once a year we have "Spirit Week." All of the classes compete to win Spirit Week and a day off school! Unfortunately, the freshman didn't do so well... There are activities that all of the classes compete in such as a can food drive, pop tabs, tug-o-war, spirit walk, etc. It is the funnest week of the year. Our teachers don't give us that much homework, so that is really nice. The whole week the school is going completely crazy! All of the classes are cheering for their year and things get pretty intense!!

All of us were hoping for a freshman win... but we did not win one of the activities, so I am pretty sure that that's out of the question. The juniors and seniors are pretty close, but I think that the seniors will pull it out and win.

Spring Break is Over :(

I really don't feel like getting up tomorrow and going back to school! It has been a nice break though, and I guess that I have to go back at some point...

I had a great spring break! My family all went skiing and that was really fun (other than the time when my little brother and I collided on the mountain)! The mountains were absolutely beautiful. I really like skiing in the spring because it is not as cold as it is in the winter. Sometimes when we go in the spring, the snow is not very good, but it snowed 3 of the 4 nights we were there. They were saying that it was the best year end conditions that they had ever had. Unfortunitly, I got extreamly sun burnt on the mountain! My face was hurting for days!

Also we went in to Las Vegas for 3 nights. It was so cool. I was not sure what to expect but it ended up being really neat. There were a surprising amount of families there! We went to the show called "Blue Man Group" and it was awesome! It was unlike anything I have ever been too. It is really hard to explain it... They play a lot of percussion. Another night we went to Mystere Cirque de Soleil. It was absolutly amazing! They were doing all kinds things: from swinging from the ceiling to doing flips on stage. I couldn't believe all of the things they could do! Overall it was a great spring break!

But... now it is back to school...

One More Day!

I am so excited that it is almost Spring Break! One more day and we are done for 10 days! I can not wait to be off school for a little while. My family and I are going skiing so it should be really fun.

All of my teachers are trying to end all of our units before the break, so I had 2 tests today and I have 2 tests tomorrow. While I am trying to get through all of the studying I just keep telling myself their is only one more day left!

In Health right now, we are actually doing something pretty cool... We are all getting certified in CPR. It is actually really interesting. I hope that I never actually have to do any CPR, Rescue Breathing, or Choking, but it is good to know it just in case.

In English right now we are finishing Romeo and Juliet. The Shakespearean stuff is really hard to read! I am so glad that we got the books with the "Modern Text" on the other side, because without that I think that I would not understand the book at all. We have a test on this tomorrow, and I am kind of worried because it sounds like it is going to be really hard...

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!!

Our Crazy Schedule!

Today I had two quizzes... Geometry and Biology. The Biology quiz was not too bad. There were a few hard questions, but for the most part it was pretty easy. The Geometry quiz on the other hand was a little more challenging. Actually, it was not that bad, but we did not really have enough time to finish. I think that 2 people in my whole class finished! I had to leave two of the answers blank... She said that because we did not have enough time that she would make "adjustments" so I hope that she makes it out of less points or something.

I think that I have mentioned how our schedules are kind of weird at my school. We have 18 mods that are about 20 minutes each plus 3 minutes for passing time. Throughout the day we have what we call "free" mods. During those frees you can eat lunch, sit in the cafe, hang out with friends, do your homework, etc. We have a 6 day rotation, and today was my worst day. Usually, people eat lunch at mod 9 or 10. I have one of those free everyday except B day. Today was B day. It is so weird because I am not free until mod 15 you have to eat during your class. It is a little weird and awkward, but when you are really hungry there is no other choice. It is a really long day because I have strait classes from 7:55 in the morning until 1:31!!

Although I don't enjoy B day... I love our schedule. It allows us to have so much freedom. It is such a nice break from all of the stressful classes. Also, it gives you something to look forward to after class!

Spring Dance and Soccer!

I finished up the third quarter! I can't believe that there is only one quarter left in my freshman year!

This past Friday was our school's spring dance. It was really fun! We all went over to my friend's house, took pictures, went out to dinner, and had a really good time at the dance.

This weekend has been really busy... I have had three soccer games plus the dance. Unfortunately, our soccer games did not go as well as we have hoped. The weather was also terrible. It was so nice all week and then this weekend it got really tasty! It was really windy (like 30 mph), the temperature is in the low 30's and it was raining. My whole body was frozen by the time that the games were over.

End of the Third Quarter!

I can't believe that the year is almost 3/4 of the way done. That is crazy! It seems like school just started.

The end of the third quarter brings a lot of school projects... which is not very exciting. I have a big Biology Project and Geometry Project due next week! Also, this past week has been loaded with all kinds of tests and quizzes in all of my subjects. Luckily for me though, I am in 2 sophomore classes and they have the Graduation Test all next week. This is lucky for me because we will hardly have class and we can't move forward without the sophomores. So, some days we still have to go to class and other days they are just calling off our class. Hopefully, that will lower the amount of work that will be due next week!

It never ends...

This weekend I had 3 soccer games out side and one indoor game... In the outdoor games my team went 1-0-2 which may not sound great, but all of the teams that we played were suppose to be a lot better than us, so it was pretty exciting! Our team did not play so well in the indoor game though, but after all that soccer we were all completely worn out.

Lately I have had a lot of soccer, and that has been kind of hard to manage everything. I get home start my homework, go to soccer, finish my homework, go to bed... Sometimes it feels like a ton, but in the end if it will help me become a better soccer player it is all worth it.

I had a bunch of tests and quizzes this week... Geometry, 3 Spanish Tests (listening, speaking, written), Biology, and Health.

I am really excited for the weekend because my mom and I are going to visit my cousin for her 16th birthday. I think that will be a really nice break from all of the stress.

There is nothing too exciting happening in my life right now... school. soccer. sleep.

I have had a lot of test lately in school. I had one today, one Thursday, and 3 on Friday.

I also have had a ton of soccer lately. I had 5 games this weekend and I haven't had a day off in 6 days. This weekend we start to play outside... it is still kind of cold here so we will see how that goes!

Right now I am one of the "layout people" on the newspaper at my school. This week or next week they are going to be deciding who will become the Layout Editor next year for the whole newspaper, and I am really hoping that I will get picked! It may sound dorky... but it is actually pretty cool to do the layout. It is kind of like a puzzle, and I am really into graphic design sort of things.

Other than all the tests school is pretty good, but it is hard balancing between school soccer and just being able to have some chill time to hang out with friends or relax. I am still in the process of picking my classes for next year. I think that I have it just about all figured out though!
