tennis

My everyday schedule is filled to the brim with stress. Not something I particularly enjoy. However, I've recently come across something amazing...TENNIS. It could possibly be my new favorite sport :o). The coach is pretty much the most awesome coach ever. She brings us fresh desserts every single practice or game. What more can you ask? All the girls are wonderful too! We all have a blast practicing and cheering each other on. Its all about having fun. I've never experienced a practice that didn't feel like work, but FUN! I wish I would have started playing a long time ago. I've been missing out on a whole world of fun. At least I discovered it before its too late

Pearly Whites

Today, I got my braces taken off! I haven't had them on for very long but I'm thrilled. Its was amazing to be able to eat without brackets on my teeth. I'm pretty pumped. I think it might take me a couple days to get used to them. Surprisingly, I am going to miss seeing the orthodontist staff every month. They were the sweetest people :o).

An amazing discovery!

In my free time (not that I actually have much of it) I like to use a web tool called Stumble Upon. It takes me to random websites that might interest me. Last week I stumbled across an AWESOME website. Its called http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com. Basically you type in either an author, title of a book, or a description of a genre you enjoy and the website gives you a huge list of potential books you might enjoy. I'm soo excited to use it!

What I Like About Me

Thinking of ten things I really like about myself is quite difficult for me. I've always had a ridiculously low self-esteem. I wish I wasn't like that, but I can't really help it. This will be hard but here goes nothing...

1. My fingernails: The one thing I actually love about myself is my nails. I have very long nail beds and they look very nice when painted (which they ALWAYS are painted...its an obsession).

2.My height: Ever since I was little, I have always dreamed of being tall. I love being tall! I can weigh more and look thinner, see over people's heads, and I get to be in the center of the kick line.

3. My innocence: I actually like being innocent and not understanding the dirty jokes. I would rather not know!

4. My kindness: I think I am a pretty nice person, or I try to be at least. Its important to me to be nice to everyone

5. My freckles: When I was younger, I hated my freckles with a passion. I definitely shed a tear or two over them. Ever since a kind woman told me she loved my "angel kisses" I decided they are pretty cool. Unfortunately, my freckles fade during the winter season.

Well. ..thats all I can come up with for now. Maybe I will add more later!

PROM

Holey Moley! Every thought of mine is consumed with prom. Prom hair, prom date, prom dress, dinner plans, shoes, make-up, and of course an after party. I'm obsessed and and its pretty darn pathetic. I can't seem to take my mind off of it. I officially have a prom date now ( thanks to Kiersten's brother Ethan), a dress, a hair/make-up appointment... and thats it. I'm extremely excited! I'm working on a tan too! I CAN'T WAIT!

Tired

I am soo over school right now. My brain is fried and I feel as if I cannot take many more days of school. I'm not a senior but, senioritis has set in. Wouldn't it be wonderful if summer vacation started tomorrow? I guess I will just have to get over it and keep working for another nine weeks. Hopefully things will get better once the weather improves. Everything is better with sunshine.

playing the waiting game

Being patient has never been a skill that I've mastered. You would think that after nearly seventeen years of practice, waiting for a reply or answer wouldn't bother me as much...but it DOES! Waiting to find out about my acceptance or rejection to GSP is driving me bonkers! It honestly wouldn't bother me very much if I wasn't accepted, but not knowing is killing me inside. I want to be able to make summer plans and relax. Unfortunately I'm stuck playing the waiting game.

Adios Olympics

I am really really sad to see the Olympics end. Every day I look forward to unwinding with an exciting skating, skiing, or snowboarding competition. If it was up to me the Olympics would occur every year. But, if this were to be true, its appeal would surely fade. I guess I will just have to wait until the next summer Olympics! I'll be counting down the days! (just kidding ;) )
