So Far...

My week has been, OK. I really need to catch up on some things like homework but, I'm blogging :) That is my excuse. Just kidding. No actually I was texting AND blogging. But I'm ok I still have some time to get my work done. I really wish I didn't have to do this whole research project thing for AP english. OH WAIT. I didn't share with you about that yet :) OH wonderful, so anyways we got assigned this project right? And like...not only do we have to read this book that makes no sense what-so-ever, but we have to do this research paper over some country of our choice that we know absolutely nothing about. I picked New Zealand just because it's B-E-A-UTIFUL!!! And because Lord Of The Rings was shot there :) I am so tired.

But yeah we have a powerlifting meet on Friday it's just, I'm not going. I have to go somewhere else on Friday and I'd miss journalism and I can't afford that right now cause my grades need to be up since it's the new six weeks and all. And this week we're studying superbowl ads so I don't want to miss that either lol. But yeah in case you didn't know, the meet is in some town like 30 minutes away and we'd have to leave at the end of 5th period. I don't want to do that and I don't need to do that. Like sometimes it feels like I'm only doing something because everyone else is doing it. Like I'm only in powerlifting not for the extra workout but also because if I'm not doing anything other than off-season volleyball, than I'm a loser. Even though that's not true, it just feels like people look at you like that you know? It makes me want to work harder when I see someone else doing more than me and I guess that's a good thing sometimes, but other times it makes me frustrated when I can't make an "A" in english, or lift 115 on bench. UGH. I want to just pull my hair out sometimes. But those are the pressures of high school, or ... life.

Sooo anywho. I watched Tommy Boy and "Fresh Prince" and "George Lopez" yesterday since I had no homework. :) I laughed a bunch...oh and I caught the last part of Benchwarmers and that was pretty good I guess...

Going to put some elbow grease in some homework now,

Off too,

Another day...

Ugh. All this fast pace pre AP English stuff is not cool. I feel like I'm always being rushed. Like I can't even breathe fast enough. :( But it's for the the best. When I'm makin' billions doing something I love and living where I want with a beautiful family of 5 I will thank myself for it :) Bahhh that's a long way off. Oh well. I dream.

I'm seriously almost done with this Book The First stuff. I can't wait til I can actually go to sleep. Maybe actually listen to my ipod...drink some chocolate milk...instead of getting on the internet every five minutes to look up a word cause I have NO CLUE WHAT IT MEANS. Thank God for cliff notes. I know what your thinking, don't freak, our teacher actually gave our class permission to use them :) She said do whatever you can to help yourself understand the book. I only used them once. And turns out...they didn't really amount to great use anyways.

I had to reread and reread over like a billion times to finally start understanding what the book was about. It's a little easier when you get used to the way Dickens writes. He goes off into branches and branches of things for alot of pages. I'm getting used to it. I think he wrote like that because he got paid by the word back then, which wasn't much. That's my theory. Wow...my dad is watching M*A*S*H. bahhh this show kills me. But I prefer "Sanford and Son" that's a great show. I want some chocolate milk...like...now.

I think I'm going to get some right now and then head back up to my caveman layer and finish my prehistoric novel homework. haha. I think I'm starting to grow a uni-brow finally. My back hurts...kind of. OK...I'm going to try to enjoy the rest of my teenage life while I try not to regret taking AP english. :)

WELP!

I just got out of the shower and I'm feelin' sqeeky clean.

Today was a long day. I must say. I think because it's Thursday...but whatever. Today in AP english I got kind of frustrated, well I was doing well on my grammar and stuff, I'm just really slow. And some stuff I didn't get, like this one page I missed almost 10! Oh my goodness. And then my teacher made me feel even worse by pointing out that I was the only one still working on the last page and she told me instead of tearing out my pages (which I started to but stopped) she said "You should really get to work on that last page because there are people already finished and we want to grade them and get it out of the way so hurry up." Well thanks for makin' me feel wonderful! ugh. Then I just thought I was stupid. eh...

Volleyball was easy. All we did was lift weights...and it was a bit easier for me than most since I'm now in powerlifting :) Tadah!

Powerlifting, by the way, was not at all what I wanted to end my day with today. I was soooo lazy. I don't know why. I just did not feel like working out to my full potential today. But I did...on most stuff. Like deadlift cause I'm a beast at that anyways...I ended on 190 lbs for the day. That's 10 lbs less than my max (that's 200 for those who couldn't do math). But yea, it was hard...but today I could just breeze through core workout for some reason, like usually I'm like "OH MY GOSH MY ABS HURT!!" but today I was quiet. I guess it was because I really wasn't thinking about it.

Going all the way back to AP english, I need to catch up on my reading. We got assigned to read this Charles Dickens book A Tale of Two Cities and I'm really not likin' it much. I have to start my reading log and start my notes, and finish this study guide for the first book!! UGH. But maybe once I'm past Book the first I'll probably like it more and actually get excited about homework. The longest book I've ever read and stayed interested in though is Twilight and New Moon. Everyone has read those books. They're great. They make me want to meet a vampire lol. But yea so I'm going to start my homework which by the way consists of study guide, reading log, actual reading, this essay for an application on newspaper for next year, and my current event. OMG. That's a load.

Well, later days.

Updates...

Ok,

So my week was kind of perfect I guess needless to say I had nothing to do after Wednesday and got out early on Thursday and Friday. I was exempt from every exam so I got to sleep and listen to my ipod all day Thursday and watch "Meet the Robinsons" which that is a very cute movie indeed. And on Friday I didn't sleep at all which is weird cause I was extremely tired from watching scary movies the night before, but no I watched "The Sandlot" in first period, ( I know all the lines...) and read about Britney Spears being declared bipolar, poor girl. And in third period I watched "The Pursuit of Happyness" (yes that's how they spelled happiness) and I almost cried cause it's such a sad movie. I love Will Smith, he's so versatile, like Johnny Depp. Moving on...

Oh! On Friday there was another fight at school. Shame shame shame, but yes. Two girls ( girlfights are the worst ) were yelling at each other and of course they threw out some racial slurs cause that's the only thing they can find to say about one another...and it was just stupid. But of course you know everyone's going to stand around like animals and watch 'em, giving them just what they wanted...attention. I didn't care. So that was the excitement for Friday, and I didn't have powerlifting so I was happy.

Speaking of powerlifting, since everyone else skipped just cause it was "exam day", only two girls showed up for powerlifting workout on Thursday. Me and a senior, and we were doing legs that day so we had to do deadlift and omg, I wanted to die! We had to do two sets of 6, a set of 4, 3, and 2. we started lifting with I think around 155 lbs and on the last set wound up with 195 lbs and it was hard. I won't lie...yeah it was pretty hard. Like, on my last set I couldn't lock out (that means stand up straight and bend your back) cause my hands were hurting to bad, but the coach said that I got the weight I just need to lock out. And with the help of a squat suit I'll probably be able to lift around 200 to 205 lbs. So I'm ok with that...I need to work on bench though for sure!!

Today me and my mom are going to paint the house so I need to hop-too and get goin' with that.

EH.

Today was kind of good I guess besides the fact that I was extremely tired. I fell right to sleep when I got home today :) Well that was an accident. I was trying to wake up my sister cause she was also tired, and I wound up crawlin' in next to her lol. I was watching "Run's House" on MTV... and passed out.

Powerlifting was a breeze today cause all we did was give the coaches our "openers"; AKA: the weight that you start lifting with at the meet. And I'm going to start at 135 lbs on deadlift, and same on bench which that will be a mystery :) and I think maybe 125 or 135 on squat too...I kind of forgot. But after that we didn't have to lift much today so I was happy cause I was already tired from volleyball.

Woo! I watched the "Big Bang Theory" today and oh my goodness talk about knee-slapper. That show is like, one big hilarious joke in itself! It's so funny. I know that was random but I had to add that in cause I do give style bonus to that show.

I really need to take a shower. And finish my algebra review, and this commercial is hilarious!!! Wow I was typing right?? And all of a sudden I'm watching TV and laughing at this guy who's trying to leave a voicemail for this girl and it's showing all the different once he tried and he's like "you smelled soooo good last night...is that wierd for me to say?" lol. I laughed. But that's just me.

Ok moving on with my life, so this week is kind of a dead week cause of exams and all, so I'm liking it I guess...it's nice to have a break. I heard next year they're (my school) is doing block schedules?? I guess that will be fun, I haven't done that since elementary :) It should give us less homework I'm hoping...

Well I need to get goin', so happy trails :)

Yes!

Hmmm,

Well to start off the week just wonderfully I had my first powerlifting meet tuesday night and I am impressed with what I did. On squat (I could've done more) I got 155 lbs, on deadlift I didn't do what I should've done. My coach said that I should be doing around 200 lbs, but I wound up on 145. My coach told me to start with that next time instead, cause it would add 50 lbs more to my regional cut. Soooo that was cool. On bench I sucked. I'm not great with upper body strength so it's ok even though I almost cried cause I couldn't get what I wanted. Although I couldn't get it on the first try I got it on the second one so I was ok. I'm not going to say what I couldn't do lol. I'm embarrassed! But overall I'm excited. I only got one red flag! (red and white flags tell you if you had a good lift or not :red means you failed it; white means good lift)

I've got to go to another banquet this weekend, on Saturday. I've got my boyfriend's football banquet. I'm not sure if I'm getting a new dress or not yet. I want another one but I don't know what I'm going to do. I like shopping so I really want to.

So I finally watched "Superbad" and I could not stop laughing! It was inappropriate but I laughed all the way through it. It was much more different than I thought it was going to be, that's a good thing cause It was hilarious.

Wow I'm taking forever to type this cause I'm watching EXTRA!! And Britney Spears has photoshopped pictures of her and her kids that she's obviously never seen. But you know how that goes.

well I need to take a shower so I'll update later this week!

HMMMM....

Well,

Today has been a slow day for me. I slept in, ate some cinnamon rolls ( I think that's how you spell it), watched some Harry Potter, and texted. I need to take a shower, and finish my English homework!!! I think I still have a little algebra too...but I like algebra.

I have to be back at my dad's by 6 p.m, and I need to eat. I'm starving!! lol

Things have been going great for me I guess, just regular, staying out of drama as much as possible, but at the same time not letting anyone push me around.

I went to Dave and Busters last night to celebrate my aunts birthday, and that was fun. Me and my other aunt played House of the Dead for an hour and got to the last level, and died. But we did better than the two guys that played before us! We were all sweaty afterwards lol. I had a blasty blast. I wanted to play DDR (dance dance revolution) but there was this guy that was on it for like, 3 hours and he got perfect on EVERYTHING! I'm not even kidding. I think he did competitions or something cause he was a beast. So I never got to play it :( But i played Galaga and totally won! ... almost :) but it was still good.

Today my mom wanted me to watch these chickens she put in for some "oven lovin" and she told me to go flip them right? So I'm like thinkin to myself, " ok how hard could this be?" right? I go to flip them and I"m doin' great all until this one piece that gave me a little bit of trouble, and I wound up burning my pinky!!! OUCH. It's still throbbing as you read. But that's all the excitement for today.

I'm pooped.

I'M BACK!!

Yes,

I'm back at school. :( Well I love school, but I also love taking a break from school! I already have homework in two classes, Biology and AP English. Bah.

It's ok. I'm trying not to procrastinate as much as possible to get all my grades up so I'm exempt from all my exams. I hope I will be. I think I am for most of my classes.

Well for Christmas, I was at home for the first week of the break, and hung out with family and did about nothing. Pretty fun. And for the second week of my break I went to my mom's and did pretty much the same thing! I went shopping and spent my Christmas money and bought a present for some friends. And on New Years I wound up going to my aunts in Rockwall to babysit my cousins while they went out. But I had fun eating unhealthy snacks, throwing popcorn at my younger cousins, and watching a bunch of overseen disney movies!  Honestly. But overall I guess it was "exciting".

I think my dog just tooted. haha.

But, I need to start doing my laundry and finish my homework and stuff... and take a shower, and mess with my sister.

so I'll hopefully remember to update later this WEEK.

You know since it's already ... WEDNESDAY.

But yeah.
