Happy Thanksgiving

For the next few days I will be at my dad's brother's house, and I don't think that I will have access to a computer so I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! The past two days went by in a flash. Monday we got out at 1:30 for parent teacher meetings, and today all of our classes were shortened because of a morning prayer service.

School has been going good... I am really nervous for the exams that are coming up after Christmas Break. I know that it is a long way away but the thought still stresses me out.

Also, my English teacher asked me if I would join the school newspaper. I said that I would write for the paper and learn about the layout of the paper. Since the senior that does all the layouts will be graduating next year, I hope to be able to step up and fill her shoes.

Soccer is good as well, but I am looking forward to the 3 day break. My legs are sore, bruised, and tired from all of my games and speed training. As much as I love soccer, it is really hard on your body.

Have a wonderful break :)

Twilight!

This weekend has been really fun! I didn't have school yesterday, so on Thursday night me and  6 other people from my school went to see Twilight at midnight.  I thought that it was really good... I found that a lot of people didn't really like it. I still think that the book was better, but it was really cool to see how they filmed it and all of the action stuff.

There hasn't really been anything new at school... I have had a few really hard tests in the past week or so, but they have all gone well, and I got an A+ in bowling for gym so it is all good! As I said before, we got the day off on Friday, and we get out early on Monday, so only like 1 and a half days until Thanksgiving Break!
Unfortunately, I have a lot of tests on Tuesday...

Thank God It's Friday!

This week feels like it has been going on forever...my week at school has be hectic!  Yesterday I had a Christian Awareness test, and it was pretty hard! Today was the worst though, I had big Spanish and Biology  tests. I spent all of last night studying for the two tests. I spent sooo much time on Spanish. I spent over two and a half hours on all the vocab and people that I had to memorize! I spent about an hour on Biology, but I am wishing that I would have spent more time. I think that I got most of the test right, but there where a few questions that were pretty tricky... I am just hoping that I got a good grade on those three tests...

Also, today I had gym. haha I think that I am failing gym right now! We have "skills tests," and apparently I am not meant to be a professional bowler! Yes, we are doing bowling... it sounds easy, but the ball is made of rubber and it is really light, and there are plastic pins across the gym floor. We have to get a 46 bowling 4 frames to get an A! Luckily, our gym teacher lets us redo it as many times as we want... hopefully I will start to do better!

Starting New

We just started the second quarter of school, and I can already tell that it is going to be harder than the first! The teachers are all warning us that they are going to start to pick up the pace and that we are going to have to do a lot more studying at home... I am not looking forward to that!

I am kind of excited to get my report card... I think I know my grades in almost all of my classes, but still... it means that I am 1/16 of the way through high school! It is crazy that freshman year is already 25% done. It is all going by really fast.

This week I am jam-packed with training and soccer! Last weekend my team ended up going 2-2 in the tournament, which wasn't too bad. This week I have speed training twice, Precision Soccer Academy once, team training once, and two futsal games (soccer on a basketball court... the ball is smaller and heavier... the ball moves around really fast, and it is great for your foot skills). This weekend I have Olympic Development tryouts. Also, my old school is in the football playoffs so I am going to the game Saturday with my little brother (who still goes there). Also, if my week wasn't full enough, I have 3 friendlies/scrimmages on Sunday!!

I have been trying to get my homework done at school, and have been trying to get the rest done when I get home before soccer! But, I am keeping up!

Happy Halloween!

Honestly, I was really excited for Halloween! Ha It probably sounds funny because I am 15... but one girl in our grade threw a huge party with like 70 people! Everyone was all dressed up... I was a cow girl and I have to say it was really fun going shopping for my outfit!

Right now, I'm in a hotel for my soccer tournament. Unfortunately, we lost our two games yesterday : ( but we still had a lot of fun... we have a ton of new girls on our team so we are still trying to get used to playing together. After the games our whole team went out to dinner and then a bunch of us went to see High School Musical 3. We have two more games this afternoon so I am hoping for a better outcome than yesterday... wish me luck!
