Last Friday of School

(we got awards! we're so smart!)

Today was so much fun. This morning i actually wanted to get up for a change. First we had our awards ceremony at 10:30. Steven and Austin's awards ceremony was before ours, but they didn't get any awards this year :( Mrs. Mellisa and my dad were there to congrats me on my three academic awards! I only thought i would get one but i ended up getting one in art, science, and track. My other BF, Mekaylah, got one in track with me and Kaitlyn got one in basketball. It was so exciting and scarey to stand up there and receive an award. After that we had lunch and field day. We went outside and got wet by the fire trucks that came to spray us. I was asked by my art teacher Mrs. Cardinale to help her face paint at field day. My friend Jazmine and i took the job into our own hands like real business leaders! People were coming to us to get their face painted (even though we weren't pro's) they probably came because it was free. This one girl asked me to paint a hornet on her cheek, but it ended up looking like a deformed fly. I am an excellent painter and drawer but i can't face paint for some reason. It's not as easy as it looks. The scariest thing happened at the booth when we were face painting. This girl was getting her face painted by my friend Mekaylah behind me and all of a sudden she leaned into my back and fell next to me with her head on the concrete curb. Luckily she fell easy because she fell leaning on my back.It looked like she either fainted or had a seizure. As i was speaking to her and trying to help her up, she lay there limp and her eyes were rolling back and she was twitching a little. Within seconds of me trying to pull her eyes rolled back forward and she sat straight up. I asked if she was okay and she said yeah so normal. I helped her up even though she didn't need help and the lady-teacher that was sitting there took her and led her to the nurses. I wonder if she got over heated or might of had some type of medical problem. For a second i thought it was a trick. That was so scarey and it must have been scarey for the girl because i don't even think she knew she had fainted. After we were done outside we watched the slideshow of pictures from this year. Finally we got to sit on the gym floor closest to the screen. Every year they would make a big deal of who sat on the gym floor and got the best view. Always the 8th grade! This year we all felt so important because we could finally be the ones who got best view! The slideshow was amazing! The yearbook staff did so good. I was in a few pictures and they had to be the ones where my hair looked bad or my expression was goofy>:( but i'm not complaining. At least i was in it this year. I made sure to get into every picture. We finally got to see the music video that was started earlier this year. I think it was started because every other school had a music video with the whole school in it and we didn't want to be left out. It was hilarious! It was done with the song "I got a feeling" by the black eyed peas. The words were changed but the music was the same as the original song. I have to see if i can put the video on here and a few pictures i've got today. I also bought a yearbook since this was my last year of middle school and i didn't have one from 6th and 7th. It cost freakin 40 dollars and i had to use my money. I'll have to babysit two years to get that back! UggggHHh! And on top of that i was in like two pictures!!!!!!! GGGggggrrrrr! I was just lookin at Mrs. Mellisa's old yearbook and she showed me one of her old boyfriends. He was so skinny and bald! hahaha! and she showed me a recent picture of him on facebook and he was kind of fat LOL! I'll look back in my yearbook of my friends and old boyfriends and ask myself what did i ever see in those boys, or why did i even hang out with those girls. Sometimes i already do ask myself that. Today was fun and my hair is ruined. It's all poofy and frizzed from the water! Three more days of long semester testing left. I wish i could skip to summer now.

School is Almost Out!

I was looking forward to next years basketball season since i made the 9th grade team, but bad luck has found its way to me once again. Last year wasn't so good. We lost more games than we won and let's just leave it at that. The whole team was excited to have this new coach for our freshman year. We saw what he did with the last freshman girls basketball team. They won their conference and came second in the championship. So unfortunately we won't have that coach this year, we will probably have another one of those coaches that don't even care and don't know what they're doing. RRrrrr! Maybe not, i don't know. We might get lucky and actually have a normal coach. I can't wait for this Friday! It's our fun day and was originally the last day of school. We had three snow days, so our actual last day of school is Wednesday. Anyway, friday is going to be exciting. We are having academic achievement awards and i got a letter in the mail from the school saying i would receive one friday, but i have no idea how many or what class or sport i'm getting it in. Last year i got one in a class and track. We're also having a party outside in the parking lot. AND i'm looking forward to the fire truck that's coming to spray us down because it's gonna get up to 90 degrees that day. On our last three days of school we have semester tests and i've got to study for all seven of my classes. It sounds like alot but i've got this weekend to study. It won't be too hard because it's over everything we've already learned, so it's nothing new. That's about all that's scheduled this week. Oh yeah! i've got an extra 20 dollars for babysitting the other night. My poor mother was dying to get out of the house so my friend and i agreed to babysit my little sister for her so she could go out. It's been forever since she's been out of the house cause she watches Brenden and Aubrey 24/7 every day of the week. I think i did a good thing. It was my first time waking up every three hours in the middle of the night to feed a screaming baby. Yeah i think that ruined my chances of ever having a child when i get older. Hahaha! My BF Kaitlyn, from down the street, stayed up with me and helped me. She also got paid. It's so funny! i heard my dad got hit on every 5 minutes while they were out which i have no idea why. Even my friends tell me how hot he is at school when he comes to pick me up. It drives me insane because when i tell my dad what they said he thinks he's so sexy. Mrs. Mellisa said she's never lettin him go out alone anymore. And i don't mean just lookin, i mean girls would come up to him and whisper in his ear. I'm surprised a fight didn't break out between her and those girls. She's not worried though because he's all hers. Isn't that so sweet! *barf!* just kidding! Brenden is driving me crazy with these Hip-Hop Harry shows. And we don't have any new ones recorded so it's the same show with the same songs over and over again. He gets so clumsy when he's sleepy too. Just a few minutes ago he was dancing and fell face first into the carpet and halfway passed out. I guess i didn't hurt because he didn't cry. I'm GOING TO PASS OUT OF HEAT EXHAUSTION! Our house is getting so hot because the air isn't working! and of course my room gets the hottest! Let me stop talking, or typing cause i need to get to bed. I have school tomorrow and i hate waking up early when I've gone to bed late. Bye Bye-I'll type back soon :) G-night peoples

All Love is Blind

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to publish a book or make a movie about your life? Then after it was done you would sit back and watch everything you been through in the past. That's kind of what i'm planning to do with this blog, but i think i'll cover my eyes on the embarassing parts. You know what? i won't leave out my mistakes cause they're an important part of my story. Mohandas Ghandi once said, "everything we do is insignificant but it's important" and that could be one way to describe this blog. After all our mistakes make us who we are today. They can make us wise too. Don't get me wrong there are more good parts than bad parts. The fun parts i could watch over and over again. So i think this is how my story should be written. Almost like a comedy and drama mixed together. Don't forget the characters who are crucial to my learning process. I believe God put everyone in the right time and place to help themselves and others. Especially to help us on the most important choices were faced with during life. Admitt it! other people influence us in ways we never knew. That's why it's only right to set good examples on people who are influenced by you. You could change someone's mind just by saying something. We effect everyone around us. I wouldn't be who I am without the people i come in contact with everyday. They're as big of a part of my life as i am to theirs. In end we only have each other and God (my personal opinion). My family plays the signifacant characters of my life, so i guess it's only fair you knew about them. I'll start from the beginning so you can understand how we're here now. I decided to live with my dad in Arkansas 3 years ago. I use to switch school years between my mom and my dad because of the divorce, but you know how hard that can be. Switching schools mean leaving my friends and the new life i got accustomed to. Then having to start all over again. I was upset a lot because i was young and didn't understand why mom and dad couldn't be together. As i got older the situation didn't seem as bad as i made it out to be. Now i'm glad God closed one door and opened another because i met two people who became an important part of my life. Mrs. Mellisa and her son Austin were family at first site. That's just how i was raised. I was ignorant to the fact that color was even a issue at a time. Color never phased me then and it still doesn't now. People wonder how black and white's get along. Well i'll tell you how...it takes a person who loves someone for who they are and never what they look like. We travel places and get the craziest stares you ever seen! People look at us like we've lost our minds when obviously they've lost theirs. Everytime we get one of those looks it makes me even more proud of my family. We have something so unbreakabley bounded you wouldn't understand. We would do anything to for each other whenever and even regular families can't say they have that. It's been 8 years since we've known each other and every day we're even closer than we were before. If someone, who wasn't sure of themselves, asked me what color Mrs. Mellisa was, i'd say the same as me and i'm the same as her. They would probably ask me if i was blind and i would say...yeah, probably. CAUSE LOVE IS BLIND!
