Tennis tryouts started yesterday, and i am so happy to be back playing. I hadn't even realized how much i missed playing until now. I am not really good at tennis, but i love it, and i have been playing all through high school. I have been on JV every year, and hopefully, if i have improved enough, i will move up to varsity. But i wont be too devastated if i don't because i am not a big fan of the Varsity coach, and the Varsity practice would be at a terrible time. Also, if i made varsity, i would probably be placed in low doubles or exhibitions, since all of the varsity girls are incredible. So JV is looking like the better option for me at this point, but i guess i will have to wait to make my decision until i find out if i even made varsity this year.
It looks like spring is finally here!! I am so happy that it is finally warming up!!! Today it is 68 degrees outside, and spring sports are starting up; perfect timing. I drove home from school with my windows down and my country music really loud in a t-shirt. Maybe i took it too far, but it was amazing. I just really reallyyy hate winter,and i have been waiting for this weather for so long, so now that its finally here, i am definitely going to take advantage, because who knows, it might snow next week. It wouldn't shock me. So i am just going to soak up the sun and warmth while it is here.And it's perfect because tennis is just starting, and it is the best tennis weather right now;warm with a nice breeze to keep us cool with out us freezing to death like last year. This is the best part of the year, for sure.
in all reality when yous see me you only see a body. thats because when i have headphones in my ears im not atchualy there. im in the alternate reality composed of memories and fantasys and places that i have created by my self. an existance that is better. where i feel safe. free. the power of music i sgreater than anything ever concived because it is precived not felt nor to be given. its my happy place. its my shadow. the shadow is my place to hide. the shadow is warm inside. it my place to hide
dork rant i have way to much time on my hands nad i occupy my self through video games. lately ive been geting sick of mw2 bullshit so i sought out after one of my other games. that game would be grand theft auto 4. an expliciptably violent and horific game in which it teaches you streen smarts like dont shoot at the cops if you dont want them to shoot back or dont mess with that black guy, he has a gun. just stuff like that. now in my case im EXTREAMLY EASILY AMUSED. almost to a fault. so what do i do in this game? well lets just put it this way. i laugh my ass off while i drive on the side walk screaming double points every time i hit a black person. racest? maby. wrong? yes. video game? yes. compleatly fake? that why i do it...duh.
i dont know what to do with my life. yesterday my dad yelled at me when i boiled the tea and told me taht i needed to get a job. i need to get drivers training out of the way first. my dad did buy me a car after all. somthings wrong with the starter and thats it. my only fear is if anyone will hire me. i dont exactly have the best background and thats what worries me. i hope i can get settled.
one of my friends that i talk to online every day when he dosent work is always buying new games and being able to afford the things he wants. it makes me realy jealious. he lives in chiago so maby they have a different job market. i duno i just wish i shared the same situation as him. ive realy fucked my life up at a young age and i ahte myself for it. it was a mistake yah but what they did to me was criminal in the same digree. its goten tothe point to where i fear others. so i hide inside my head
im so sick of everything. nothings different. you go to school and do the same things. i feel that there is so much else that this world has to offer. even breaking away from society and living in some remote area for a year. just somthing different. tahts all i want. daily life tends to have its pattern that is so obvious to all of us and i wonder what it would take to change that. or if changeing it would just set the same thing but in a different palce
Well I think I'm going to blog. Let's talk about how fast this year is going by fast.. Too fast! Everyone wants this year to fly by and want to get out of here. They are crazy. Yeah, im excited to leave but then again I'm going to miss high school. Seeing my friends everyday and especially seeing my family everyday. I'll miss that the most. Living on my own. That is scary for sure. So Senior Year, slow down please.
ive realizxed that whenever i do the things i want im just wasteing time. normaly i just play my xbox when i could be spending time with family. yesterday i didnt even talk to my dad bc i was in my room the whole day. lame right. i need a job
Choir festival was so much fun yesterday! I never expected it to be that much fun. We watched groups perform. Some people got hurt so they couldn't sing. We ended up going for comments instead of ratings because we had so many missing people. I ended up waiting for the IA choir members until 5 minutes before we had to preform because I had to warm up also then they walked in a minute later after I was waiting outside for them for like 10 minutes. We were singing to the radio the entire time there and back. I forgot why I loved choir field trips, that makes me even sadder because that was my last one unless we can convince her to let us have a choir lock-in so the 2 choirs can get along better.
So I was cleaning up my desk area today by my computer today and I came across some nice tape. I remember getting this tape from Mr. Brugger's leadership class in 8th grade. This was a great class because I learned how to be an eleven. This meant basically going above and beyond what everyone else did. I really miss that class because it had some really cool people in it. Back to the tape. This is some premium scotch tap with a disposable casing. I have used this on numerous occasions when hanging things up around my room. Speaking of my room, I have just moved some things around so it looks different and I have much more for activities.
I'm chowing on some delicious BBQ sunflower seeds at the moment. I haven't had these since last week and I was really starting to miss them. I generally lean towards the DAVID brand because they always deliver on taste. The bag I have has lasted me for quite a while as well. I purchase a medium size bag from the Meijer gas station and it was only 1.39. Boy this was a good buy because I can't get away from these things. I am also a fan of the original sunflower seed. It is just a plain salted seed rather than flavored. Another kind that I enjoy masticating are Jalepeno. These, you would think are hot, are actually quite mild. You should really try sunflower seeds because I bet you'd like them.
So one of the muscles in my leg is in a great deal of pain because of soccer this weekend. We played two extremely dirty teams and our team got banged up. I won a ball out of the air against this kid but I fell down after. Seeing me on the ground, a kid ran over to me and stomped on my leg with metal cleats. I mean I said a few choice words to the kid, but the best part was going up to him after the game and saying good game to him when we won. He got all angry and it was quite funny. Nonetheless, my calf is still killing me. I had a good time this weekend because my entire team minus a few people went to B dubs to watch some games and eat. We all had a good time together and it was really the only time in the past few years that we all got together as a team. We came away with two wins so it was a great weekend despite the freezing cold weather.
So I was listening to music today in class when I was done with my work. I was listening to a song that kept using the phrase "purple sprite". I decided to ask some of my peers what this meant when I already could deduce what it meant. However, the feedback I received wasn't all that awesome. I mean I knew it was a drink so a lot of people should know that. When I asked, people began to laugh at me because I didn't know what it meant. All of the kids in that class know that I'm not one for partaking in consumption of alcohol so they just laughed and told me what it was. However, I did find that many of them didn't know what it was but tried to play it off all cool in front of me. I really find this and the fact that so many people drink funny. I have tried it, don't get me wrong but I am no where near any of the people who drink in our school and I find it kind of pathetic people that people need alcohol as a way out or as a gateway to having fun. I don't judge people on this but this is what I feel.
Spring Break is coming up real soon so I probably should blog about it before it's over. Now I have no money and I don't expect my parents to pay for it because they do so many other things for me. So, for spring break, I will be at home having a good old time in Michigan. I'll have a few gaming sessions with Matt and hang out with my family and play soccer. I always find something to do so I'm really not worried about being bored. Another thing I am looking forward to regarding spring break is the sleep I will be catching up on. I have been so tired over the past few weeks and it's time to catch up on my z's. I know I'm going to have a good time so I shouldn't have to pay money to have fun somewhere else when I know I can have fun here. The weather won't be all that bad so that's another positive.
My neighbor's house was foreclosed on so it looks like a piece of junk. However, the house is starting to look much better because some dude just purchased it from the bank. The current project he is taking on is putting a new roof on top of the house. It looks much better already despite the fact that it couldn't look much worse. The roof looked like anything could get through it, so that wasn't too good. But now that there is a new owner, the house has hope. It is a beautiful victorian type house with a nice yard. I believe it had a pool but then they ripped down the pool after the foreclosure. The man who lived there was a very nice guy but he was lazy. He never wanted to do anything but now it seems like the new man likes to get things done. I'm sure I'll see the new guy when I take my dogs around the block. Hopefully the house gets fixed up and the man has a nice family.
Shredding paper is actually a very useful activity. It protects you from identity theft, people knowing your address, as well as a person who likes stealing mail. Shredding paper, as daunting of a task it may be, is needed in today's society. I usually take the liberty of shredding paper without being asked because I like to do it. Now, I will say there is a big negative side to doing this. I don' reccomend doing this early in the morning or at like 11 PM at night because it can be very disturbing depending on the amount of paper you are shredding. I try to keep in the late morning to early afternoon time frame because no one cares at that time. It is quite an annoying device because it is a constant humming that doesn't stop until you stop feeding it paper. However, an alternative to disgarding of your paper would be to burn it. This isn't the best for the environment so that probably shouldn't be done. But, if worse comes to worse... burn it!
I can't wait to get out of High School. Everyone in it is so arrogant and superficial it seems. Not only that, but i feel i've spent the past 12 years of my education, for the most part, learning things i will never use again. No one taught me how to start a checking account, or how to properly use a map or things that are actually applicable to life for that matter.
Spring break is only a short ways away!! Although im not going anywhere that's warm, i feel i am spending my time with a true friend, without any drama. My parents said that since my trip is so heap, that they will give me the money to spend on what i really enjoy: clothes. I just hope that everything works out as planned and that i have a fun time even though i am not drinking myself to stupidity and laying in the sun
I had a fight with a friend just a short while ago. However, as weird as it sounds, it's bugging me that i don't really seem to mind it. She's a great girl and a good friend, but i feel that i have lost interest in those who i feel i will not keep in touch with after high school. On one hand it's good that im able to get over this rather quickly. But on the other hand, it's slightly concerning that i honest to god could not care any less about being friends with that person, where as before i would have been upset at a fight.
I went shopping for dorm room stuff today. I think it's finally settled in that im going to college. It seems like only yesterday i was envying my sister as she gained her freedom and went to college. But now as i see my sister exit college, i get concerned as i think about all the stuff and responsibilities i will have.. i don't know how to open a checking account, or pay my bills or even have a stable job. It's a lot to think about all at once
I have no idea why im stressed, but i am. Maybe it's from not knowing wether i got into the University of Michigan or not. Or maybe it's from the anticipation of how my life will be up at college, wether i'll be home sick or really stressed. I stress out easily, and i think way to far ahead in the future, but i can't help it and i really don't know how to stop it! On top of everything, i have my AP tests coming up, which im not all that excited for, since i heard both of them are pretty difficult
I woke up this morning with my face all broken out in like hives! I was mortified because i took acutane for soo long, which means this should NOT be happening with all the stuff i went through. For those of you who are considering taking it, i have one thing to tell you : Don't. My lips would peel off in layers and bleed for hours, and my nails and toenails would break in half with a single tap. For many of my friends it also caused severe depression, although i never experienced that.
geting super streesed for absolutely no reason. i even do wied things like hold by breath when im concentrating or strain my neck. it sucks. i used to have anxiety attacks. man those things sucked. you would just get this feeling like you were helpless and if you look at it in ways you are.
SPRING BREAK STARTS TOMORROW!! o my goodness i can't even wait. i am suffering from some hardcore senioritis and i am going crazy. this break is so needed i can't even explain. I'm not even going anywhere. i am just so excited to not be at school. for a whole week!I plan on hanging out with all of the people who aren't going anywhere either. and i kind of want to go on a road trip, you know, be spontaneous and live it up. i mean, its senior year spring break. what have i got to loose! i feel like once i get back from spring break i am going to want to do absloutely nothing to do with school, which is pretty much already true. So its gonna be a downhill slope after break...
So I leave for Chicago tomorrow hopefully I'll be able to write about it while I'm there. It sucks that I'm going to be sick while we are there because chances are it won't go away over night oh well. It's going to be an awesome spring break.
#1 So, its SB11 and everyone is gone. The weather is disgusting and its snowing. But that's alright because it gives me more time to pack and do laundry. I am supposed to be packing right now and I don't know what to bring. I am bringing 10 swimsuits and so many clothes. I am leaving for MEXICO in less than 56 hours. Words can describe how pumped I am for this trip. This is my 16th time to Mexico but I think this will be the most fun. Its senior spring break and I don't even know what to do because I am that excited. While everyone is in school, I will still be in Mexico. I am just so pumped for this trip and meeting random people down there. Plus, my friends from Arizona are going and I haven't seen them in a year. This SB11 is going to be SO amazing!
#2 Its nearing the end of senior year and it has gone by so fast. It just seems like I was excited to start my senior year. I can't believe its already April, and now all the major events are coming up. SB11, prom, SANP, and graduation and then the summer before college. I have no idea where all the time went by. Yes, I am so excited for high school to be over and to start college. But its going to be weird not seeing people that I have grown up with. Although, I am SO excited to meet new people and move on with my life. These next two months are going to be the most fun during high school. I am so excited for all that is to come and to just have fun. And not to mention the weather is going to be getting warmer and that just puts me in a great mood!
#3 Lately, I have been listening to alot of reggae music opposed to the normal 955,98.7,102.7 and 97.9 type music. I really like the band Citizen Cope, they are my favorite at the moment. I downloaded a bunch of their music to listen to on the beach. My favorite song of theirs is Pablo Picasso.
#4 I only drink bottled water and I wont reuse a water bottle because I think its disgusting. I drink alot of water like at least 12 water bottles a day. My favorite kind of water is Fiji water and I buy it everyday from CVS and its sorta expensive. But that's okay because I think it tastes delicious. I will never drink out of a school drinking fountain again because I find it to be dirty. Another brand of water I like is Smart Water, I get that about twice a week. I always get the 50.7 fl oz of Smart Water because I get really thirsty. The last water brand I like is Kirkland, that's what we have at my house. We have at least 10 cases of it at all times. I never reuses them thought because of all the bacteria that has formed. I make sure I recycle all of the water bottles I used because its a habit. If I throw away a water bottle without recycling it I legit feel bad.
So I got back from Chicago Friday morning at 1:30 am. I've been relaxing for the past few days. I ended up going to the John Hancock building, the field museum, different restaurants for lunch and dinner, the water place mall, and a whole bunch of shops. I got 3 new shirts a new pair of pants and a new necklace and earing.
I went to see Rango and Hanna last night, neither were my favorites. Rango was good it just felt like there was something missing I have no idea what though. Hanna it was a lot worse than I expected. The ad made it look so good but it wasn't it was lacking a plot and disorienting. I was so confused I was like what just happened it kept jumping all over the place. Nobody in my family liked it as much as they thought they would. The next movie I want to see is soul surfer it looks so cute well not really cute just inspirational and it's even better that it's a true story.
Yesterday I went to Go for the Gold at Oakland University I'm going to be going there. The campus is so beautiful. My dad was joking around with my friends mom because she was going to be staying at her grandma's house. My dad asked joking around if her grandma happened to have another room her grandma could rent me she said that she did. She just has to ask, I may have a room and be able to ride my bike to college compared to a 50 minute drive from where I currently live. That would be awesome if it works out. I haven't even started driving yet so it will be hard for me if it doesn't work out. I also got a free shirt, my friend and I are planning to wear them tomorrow and have our own twin day. Then we decided it would be our own spirit day.
I am so stressed out with this last semester. Although i have mainly all A's i always have a really hard time with math. Judging on how i do on tests typically im concerned i wont even pass the course!! I have no idea what to do, and no matter how hard i study, i just cant seem to get above a D on my math tests. Dont even get me started on the final... Are we allowed to fail a term?
spring break sucked. i was stuck home aloe for 3 days by my self while my dad went to toledo and then to his girlfriends house. i dont know. i dont hang out with alot of people outside school, my choice. besides most of them work. so i got bored of my xbox and then the computer and we all know there aint shit on the tv to watch. bunch of damn reality shows that showcase low self-esteam. what ever. out
the only good thing about my break was a dream that i had. it will always be my favorite dream too. it was in full color and i was partialy in controol of it to. it started of with these 2 small dragons, kid kinda dragons. none of that scary shit. well i could tell they were looking for somthing. i wasnt in the pitcher yet though. eventualy they make it to my open house and its night but the wierd....
...thing was that i was the only one who could see these 2 dragons.they spoke english too so it made it even more awsome. it was a bit lik how to train a dragon except we werent all crazy vikings and people just thought you were crzy. well i would get food for them as they stayed in this old house/treefort on my property. they eventualy leave and i say come back some time soon and they said they would. god i hope i have that epic dream again.
ive already established that my break sucked. although i did get back into pokemon. its what i do when i get realy bored. the show used to be gay but when it first started off it was amazing and i think there trying to get it back to its roots. i mean every one loved the origional pokemon. it was even huge in high school. i dont know i just think pokemon is the shit. if i could ever live in an alternate reality for the rest of my life i would live in pokemon. i would get my journey on for sure
I think i made a big mistake. I have this boyfriend, and i love him more than anything. However, he does not have a green card because he is from lebanon. Just recently he had a court date and was denied for asylum. Out of pure anger and frustration and i made the remark " I'll marry you, maybe then you can finally get your damn green card! Well now he thinks i was completely serious
i wish i could think of humans as selfless beings who wish to protect this world but instead we trash this planet and treat wild animals like they belong to us taking there habitat and killing them sometimes for no reason. it just adds up to all these pointless deaths. we are capable of so much compassion but we never show it. we only think for our selfs and if somthing gets in are way we strive to move it out of our way. in all reality we almost like the the enimy. we are a selfish being. i wonder what life would be like if we were like animals. if we werent capable of the things we are today. we dont need cars we just chose to use them because we are lazy. we could build are houses and they could coexist with nature, thats still only somthing ive only seen in fantasys. humans and nature coexisting as one in every possible way. does this earth need humans. hey maby the apoclips pretains only to humans, it mentions nothing about animals. maby he knew we would fuck up and that we definately did...
these computers realy do suck when it comes to speed. it took me what? 5 minutes to get to this page. it makes me wonder how long its going to take to post this comment; not that i realy care. its friday but it doesnt feel like it. this weekend is going to be realy buissy. i have a paper to type no thank you and a work sheet from senior english due on monday. and its my first 2 hours so its not like i can blow it off and cheat off some one. it doesnt realy work that way.
I was going into first grade and playing on the playground. I was swinging on the swing set because that was my favorite thing to do. My friend came over and started swinging too. y friend then told me to let go of the swing and see if I could keep swinging. I didn't at first, but then she double dog dared me to, so of course you have to do it if she double dog dares you. So, I let go of the swing and I flipped backwards and landed on my stomach and arm. I hurt pretty bad and I was holding my arm the rest of the day. Later, we found out that my arm was broken. This is the only time I have ever broken a bone.
My grandpa. My grandpa was my inspiration. He did what he loved and always tried his best. He was also the only grandparent that was really there for me. I remember playing games with him, reading to me, helping me with homework, and so much more. I remember him telling me I was his favorite granddaughter, even though I was his only granddaughter. Unfortunatly, he passes away about a year and a half ago. I miss him very much and he was always there for me.
Angel. Angel was my old dog that I had when I was little. I remember when I was about 4 years old, I went to put my hand on our dog to get up on the couch. Our dog was very old at the time and whenever you would touch her, it would hurt her. So, of course me putting my hand on her back, hurt her and she reached up and bit me in the cheek. I still have a little scar from her and even though she bit me that one time, she was a very good dog.
Spring break was really fun. I stayed home in Michigan and spent time with my boyfriend. We went out to eat at different places. We also went to Dave and Busters and played a bunch of arcade games. It was really fun and I won the bonus on one of the games and got 500 tickets. It was also a nice break off of school, since I have been piled up with a bunch of homework.
How poms was originated. A girl one time was mopping the floor and the handle broke off, so she picked up the mop and started waving it in the air because she was mad, but people thought that she was dancing with the mop, so they named the new sport poms because pom is mop backwards.
The elmo story. I never like elmo so much before, but now he really scared me. One time My boyfriend and I were sitting in a computer room and typing on the computer. We were in the room for a while and then all the sudden, this little elmo doll sitting in the corner of the room lifted his arm and said "come here my little pigs." I though this was scary because it started moving on it's own, but it also knew somehow that I was afraid of pigs. So we shut this cabnet door on him a little bit and then elmo said "I can't move" because the door was blocking him. So me and my boyfriend looked at each other and said let get out of here. We started to leave and the elmo doll said "bye bye." This really freaked us out, so Scott went to go pick elmo up by the a little spot of fur on it's back and the doll said "your so strong." After that we threw elmo in the closet and left. We could hear from the other room the elmo doll saying "see you later." It was really scary how the doll knew what we were doing and saying. I am now afraid of elmo.
When I was little, about 5 years old. My mom sat down with me and my borther and said that she was adoped. I didn't understand this and when I was little I thought that, she meant that other people came and took my mom away from her mom. So this scared me very much because I thought people would take me away from my mom. I now know that, that is not the case. My mom was adopted because her mom couldn't take care of her, she was only 14 when she had her. She my mom was taken into this family. She had parents, two brothers, and a sister. One of the other brothers was also adpoted from another family. Even though they are my family, I still wonder, who my actual grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are.
I work at Bounce Gymnastics. It is a great place to work because I love kids and gymnastics. I work pretty much every single day. I have about 3 or 4 classes a day. I teach girls beginning level to advance levels. It's really great teaching kids and seeing them learn new skills. I work with kids anywhere from 4 years old to about 13 years old. Every age group I love, but if I had to pick an age group I like the best, I would pick about 7-9 years old. They are just old enough to comprehend and understand things and what your teaching, but they aren't old enough were they don't listen or give you attitude. Every class and every person is different and it's great to see the different personalities and people in all my classes. I really enjoy being a gymnastics coach.
The dentist. Most people don't like the dentist or don't have a preference, but I really don't like the dentist. I don't like people poking at my teeth, scraping my teeth, sitting in the uncomfortable chair, I even don't like the smell of the dentist. Even though I don't like the dentist very much, I know it's important to get your teeth checked and cleaned.
About 30 more school days left! It's the end of spring break and Easter is coming up. After Easter, May will be quickly approaching. We are almost done and I really can't wait. Even though I will miss Lakeland and everyone at Lakeland, I will still be excited to move on to the next part in my life and graduate. I feel like it's the end of the year coming up, but there are so many things coming up. We have finals in some classes, AP exams, homework, project, getting ready for prom and graduation, work, and so much more. It seems all overwhelming, but I so can't wait for school to be done.
i had a realy fun weekend. my dads girl friend invited us out to her house for the weekend. i met her daughter and her boy friend. hes a blast. we played laser tag which i havent done in 10 years. we also went out to eat and then to sonic for icecream. then we went back to my place. itv was alot of fun.
I'm in Mr. Kehoe's BMT 1 class right now so I figured I'd blog. There are only two seniors in this class and it really shows. Me and this other senior are so far ahead of the class, it's incredible. We really don't have to even do anything but it's the type of people we are. I find working computer programs is a very simple task. With this class there is literally a step by step walk through of everything that you have to do. The one thing that I dislike about this class is the lack of maturity. People in here are so freaking annoying that I need music constantly. These two girls who act clueless always ask for my help and I always help because I feel obligated to. I find them quite dumb when I know that they could be smart but they really don't try. The one big positive to this class is the fact that I don't have to take a final. Mr. Kehoe is a really chill guy who understands that we are seniors so he is giving us a nice break.
my phone is retarded. last hour it kept buzzing in my pocket and i soon discoverd that it was going haywire. it was changing the clock format and moving the clock around repidately. then it went into charging mode when it wasnt even pluged into any thing. it was also doing funny things with my contacts, yah every phone ive ever had has always given me shit
can someone please explain to me why the people in dubie get there gas for 0.09$ a gallon? it is a preaty amaning city though. my dad was telling me yesterday that they have a building that alters itself acording to the direction of the wind so its never the same. there rich off there ass
I have never played the Sims before but I am basically playing a version of it at the moment. I am in personal finance right now and we are learning how to handle our money and finances in the real world. We are playing a very realistic, yet fun, game. I am actually learning more than I thought I would. I made a guy named Lamichael who is a cashier at a pizza place. He owns a nice apartment and gets his fair share of exercise. I wasn't here on Friday so many of my classmates are ahead of me and they know what to do. I am just getting my feet wet as they would say. I think I will get the hang of it but it'll take longer than others because they have the experience on me. On Friday I was absent due to the blood drive. I have to help out with the Blood Drive as a requirement for NHS. I was the pass runner so I saw many of my teachers and classmates. I had a good time but it really is boring. I had to get up at 5:00 AM as well which is never a good thing.
For my final blog of the term I will talk about the folder that I made. This folder is actually for your class but it is covered in gum wrappers. I have a very beautiful design on this folder. I started off with a nice criss cross pattern aftered I finished the checker board theme. I think this really adds to the effect of the folder because it makes it stand out. After I finished with criss cross pattern, I decided to get into the bulls eye idea. I knew this would really help it stand out because no one has ever seen this before on a folder. This took me much longer to do because it required circles which meant I had to cut circles into the gum wrappers. Although this was a very difficult project, I am very pleased with the final result. It catches many eyes and I get a lot of applause from it. Have a nice day!
in a home where tensions are tight and conflict is hot there lives an 18 year old boy who perodicly watches his life fall down before him. somthing hes seen before. somthing hes used to so he hides. he hides infront of a screen where he thinks its safe and only when he does feel safe does reality creep back to get him. in a home where its only you and the rest is broken up to your mom and step dad, your real dad, your sisters, and you. go see life is fucked up...
theres this kid in chiago that ive never met but talk to every day. his name i josh. i dont know his last name but that doesnt realy matter. i would love to meet this kid i person. hes my age and i talk to him every day over xbox live. i met him playing modern warfare 2. we were boosting partners and after that i became friends with all his other friends. redilin pie (red), melinumslodier (josh) chi town, xugtapout (austin) lives in windsor, ninjasorisrex (jimmy) chi town. vigto (richie) chi town, that guy06 (brandon). jimmy, josh, and richie all go to school together but brandon has know josh for a long time. i talk to all these guys almost evert day except for josh. he works tuesday and thursday but other than that i talk to him alot.
latelt my friend josh has been bugging me to get saints row 2 which is an online co-op game that we could play together. weve played almost every other co-op game that i have together. since he has a job he can aford to buy all these games. now i dont have a job so it makes it dificult for me to buy this game. theres probably a few games that i could sell though. i dont play any of the F.E.A.R games that i own. thats 3 games right there and i dont play new vegas or fabel 2 any more. vegas was shit, it was way to glitchty and it would make my councel crash which probably wasnt very good for it. well hopefuly my dad will help me with it.
Easter isn't a very popular holiday, but its still a nice one. I'm not religious, but I still like to celebrate holidays because it's a nice time to get together with the friends and family. When we were little, my parents would fill those plastic eggs with candy, and sometimes quarters, and hide them around the house. One year they hid half of them outside for my brother. I didnt want mine outside because it was rainy and gross. In 7th grade I was at my aunts house in California for Easter. I've been there for Easter when I was little too, but this time my cousin was there for it also. For Easter, there were Eggs hidden everywhere in their backyard. That was pretty fun. And I didnt mind not being home, my family had lamb. Gross.
Sunny mornings are so nice. They make me happy because theyre very refreshing. They almost feel magical. Im a morning person, not so much a night person. I can stay up late, but I can never sleep in. The latest Ive ever slept in till was 11, but that only happened once or twice. Mornings are like a new start, a new beginning. A fresh day to do new things. It's kinda like you can just start over, a clean slate maybe.
Fluffy bread, a little bit of sauce, a layer of cheese, and pieces of pineapple. Thats the kind of pizza that I like to eat. I like it when theres ham on it too, but there needs to be pineapple on it! I'm not much of a fan of plain meat on the pizza though. I dont like pepporoni, I always pick it off. But in any case, pizza is good. We grew up thinking it was italian, but I recently heard that its not. Italian, I think, is my favorite dish. So I think pizza could count as italian sometimes.
I have to make my graduation party invites. I dont really want to, but it's something that has to get done. Im turning into a pretty bad procrastinator. I used to be alright at getting stuff done early and on time, but lately I've just been so lazy. It's getting harder to do homework and stuff. I mean I do all that stuff anyway, but it's like the only motivation I have to do it is stress. I'll wait until the last minute, not wanting to do it and not caring if it gets done, but then do it when theres no time left because I should do it. I dont really care about grades anymore, but then again, I still do. Im just sick of school, I cant wait to leave. It's sort of like a stale relationship. Youre just sick and tired of it, you dont care what happens, you just want to be done with it. That's how I feel toward Lakeland.
I feel so angry. Im not exactly sure why, and it's just weird. I'm never mad, it almost never happens. I think I'm mad at my mom though, which also never happens. Whenever I get mad, it's only at my brother or dad. Thats one reason why I cant wait to go to college, to get away from them. I cant stand my dad. I know hate is a strong word, but thats the only thing I feel toward him. As for my brother, it's on and off. I don't like him, but he can be a friend sometimes. My mom, though, she's always there for me. But today, she's just been getting on my nerves. She's had a negative attitude the whole time she's been home, and so I got mad at her, and now she's trying to act like she wasnt. How frustrating.
We havent had a bonfire in a long time. In fact, I dont even remember the last time I was at one. I want to have one soon. I have this huge bundle of notes that I have from over the years that I want to burn. I stuck it in the pit, but I think my dog got a hold of it. If she did, then theyre long gone now. We used to have a bunch of bricks piled up in a square or circle shaped thing, around a fire. I would make tiny oven-type spaces and pretend to cook things with it when I was little. I would get so scared when embers would fly out of it though, cause I was afraid of getting burned.
day ??? in my boring ass life. stuck in school but probably for the best. i have no job and theres not alot of friends taht i hang out with. thats by choice. ive always only kept like 3 close friends and the rest are just school friends. most of them are bissy this week but ill try to hang wiht my friend kurtis this weekend. who knows. only time will tell and i have a ton of that as far as i know.
okay... aparently my teacher wont let me watch cnn any more when i dont have any thing to do. its kinda stupid though. its the day after easter and he thinks i have work to do. its study skills that im in right now. this class is awsome when i do have work though. i never have homework.
so the school year is almost over. everything that has happened over the past year will be the most memeorable of all my school years. i remember not being able to wait till school would be over, but now im wishin it wouldnt end. knowing when its over, your either working or going to college, and some people will be moving away, or going to the army. some people you might not ever see again. friends will be the most memorable thing from highschool
some of my favorite songs are ones played just on acoustic guitar. i dont know why but its just better sounding to me. it doesnt have all the bass and symbols from drums and thats when u can tell if the singer has really good talent becuase its not covered by the sounds of drums and guitar.
i really dont like the fact that gas has to cost more in a week than food. it really limits the things i can do and how often i can hang with friends. some poeple with v8 engines prolly have to spend almost a whole paycheck just to fill their tank to go to work. thats rediculous and needs to be taken more seriously by our government before gas prices get so high we cant afford it.
I recently just got a new job! In December, I applied for a job at Lifetime fitness in Commerce Township, working in the kid’s activities center. Then a week before spring break, I got a call saying that would like me to come in for an interview. I went through two interviews and just last Friday they called me saying that I got the job! I am very excited! Since I am staying at home, it will be nice to be working through college. I have also been working for my dad for about 3 years now, every Saturday. When I work for him, I pay bills, help customers, clean, organize, and doing pretty much everything that he tells me to do. One of the advantages of working for my dad is that I get paid under the table, meaning cash. So when I start working at Lifetime fitness, this will be a new experience for me because I have never had a job like that before.
Clothes. I absolutely love clothes. Sometimes I really feel like I have an addiction to buying clothes. Fortunately, it’s not an insane addiction where I’m at the mall every weekend spending all the money in my savings account and wallet. It’s just whenever I am at the mall and I find a shirt that I really like, I have to have it. In addition to that, I always feel like I have no clothes and that I have nothing to wear. It’s very frustrating! Every morning I wake up and look in my closet and nothing catches my eye. Growing up with a mom who loves clothes, shoes, purses, and make up, I am surprised that I don’t have a serious addiction. On a good note, I don’t care for purses at all, or shoes and I only buy cheap make up from Target. When it comes down to clothes, I’m a goner. I love the feeling of where you just bought a new super cute outfit and you simply can’t wait to show it off! After the weekends, I love wearing all my new clothes to school and getting compliments on them. Plus, I also feel more confident in myself when I wear clothes that I absolutely love.
Although I can’t wait to be done with school and to start college the thought is very scary. However, it does help a lot that I am not going away. Over spring break, I finally decided that I will be attending Madonna University next year. My mom went here and when I visited it, it was really pretty. The reason why I decided to stay at home simply is because I really don’t feel like I am ready to be away from home. I am most definitely a mama and daddy’s girl. Since I am so close to both of my parents I can’t even imagine being away from them, but I will get there eventually. I will be attending Madonna for one and maybe two years, then I want to transfer to Michigan State. Even though it’s a scary thought to be finishing up high school and I am really looking forward to a new change and starting over. After everything that has happened to me this year, I feel change is needed for me.
One of the great things about being a senior is attending prom! I am so excited for it! I already got bought my dress. It’s from a small store in Milford called, Uptown Threads. This lady sells one of a kind dresses here. Another great thing is that, once you buy the dress that you like she won’t let anyone else from your school buy that same dress. It’s a pretty much guarantee that no one will have your dress. Anyways, my dress is orange but it has a lot of other colors in it as well. It has blue, green, purple, and yellow. It doesn’t sound like a very good mixture of colors, but it is very pretty. Also, it has sequence and beads along the straps of the shoulder going all the way down to the dip of the dress in the back. Whenever I put it on I literally can’t stop smiling and I never want to take it off! Now that I have my dress, shoes, accessories, and a date, I just need June 2nd to get here soon enough so I got put everything together!
For spring break this year, one of my best friend’s and I went on an Eastern Caribbean Cruise. It was so much fun! This was the fourth cruise I have ever been on and I feel they are a great way for people to travel. The ship is so large there is always so much to do. However, since my friend and I are only 17, there wasn’t much to do for people our age. There was this club, where there was dancing and meeting of different people, but we only went to it once. The majority of the kids there were 15. Anyways, this cruise was amazing. We went to this insane water park in the Bahamas, went snorkeling, and then got to play with sting rays! I really wish I was still on this trip. The best part about being on a cruise is that you have no connection to anyone back home. It was so relaxing and so less stressful not having to worry about texting or any drama. I got to enjoy my vacation in peace and quiet. Another reason why I love cruise’s is because no one knows your or watched you grow up through your awkward stage. Everyone is just looking to have a great time! :)
Eating disorders are something that 1 out of every 100 girls face. Having an eating disorder is a mental illness in which you don’t see what is really there. One of my best friends actually had an eating disorder for over a year. She would tell me that when she felt like she couldn’t control the events of what’s happening in her life, she would make herself sick because she didn’t know what else to do. She was already tiny to begin with, but with her doing this to herself she was down to 80 pounds at one point. Just looking at her you could tell she was sick. Eventually, she told her mom and got some help and gained some weight back and was doing great. However, every once in awhile she would have a moment of weakness and instability and would relapse. Just recently, she was telling me how she was doing it again. So one of our other friends and I called her mom to let her know. We felt it was the right thing to do because we didn’t want her hurting herself even more than she already has.
I recently just made a final decision to where i want to go to coolege. It was a hard decision between Kettering University and Michiagn State. I am going to college for engineering and kettering is very strong in Engineering. However, Michigan State is also very strong but it has an added bonus of name recognition and much more alumni. I decided to go to Michigan State. i think it will be a lot of fun and will be something I will never forget. Their programs are great and the college life there seems so much fun. I hope it is wirth the 23,000 a year, but i'm sure it will be worth it in the end.
Today is Tuesday and that means I have a track meet today. However, it is supposed to storm so I'm not sure if the meet will still be on or not. We will just have to see. In track, i dont do any of the runnign events; instead i am a thrower. I throw Shot-put and Discus. I like to do these things because practice is more strength training than endurance. I like that type of working out. I dont like runnign as much but I like lifting weight and such. Overall, track so far has been pretty fun. Its hard to beleive we have had 2 meets alraedy. Today is supposed to be our third. it is kind of funny that shot-put and discus came about as ancient weapons. Historically, a shot-put is nothing more than a cannon ball, and a discus is an ancient bladed weapon that you threw. Obviosly there are no blades on this type of discus, but it is in the same shape, weight and is thrown the same.
With the golf season underway i can finally say i am excited for the season. At first i felt myself dragging my feet but i have come to realize it was most likey just the weather. In our first 3 weeks of practice, its been nothing but rainy and cold. As much as i do have much love for the game, i didnt feel as motivated to stand out in the cold for 2 hours straight. Though it was cold for that period, i am happy to say that today we were finally blessed with some good weather. With the sun out and me being able to put on a short sleeve shirt, i felt much more motivated to play the game. We had the opportunitry to go out and play 9 holes today and am glad to see that im hitting the ball the way i know i am capable of. Looking into the season i am very excited and hope to play my best and put fourth my share of good rounds and hopefully achieve back to back seasons of being undefeated.
Currently as many know, the NHL has reached playoff time. Depending on the sport you play or may find an interest in there is no better time in the season than when it comes to playoffs. This is when the hardest and most succesful teams on the season come together to find out who is the number one team. Whether it be the superbowl, the MLB championship or the Stanley Cup, they all bring viewers in from all over the world to witness the glorious ending. Of all these great events, the one which i find most interesting due to my love for the game, is the stanley cup in hockey. Being a lover and athlete in the game since i was 5 there isnothing better to watch the NHL's best teams and players face off for the stanley cup. Like in any other sport, everyone has a specific team which they share most love toward wether it be their home town team or a favorite team. Being in Michigan, there is one team which is being ruited upon more than any other team and thats our detroit redwings. Ye, i love our detroit redwings and would love for them to win the cup, the team which i find to be one of the most important things in my life and whom i would like to see win it all is the Washington capitals. So far they are off to a good start as they have defeated the new york rangers in round one. I hope to see them go far and hopefully win it all.
23 days until senior year is over. I'm so excited to get out of Lakeland and be done with high school. I won't be done with school completely on the 27th, because the following Tuesday I have to start going to OTC from 8-3...But being done with Lakeland is good enough for me C: Don't get me wrong, I am scared to start my life and all that, but I know I have a good plan and a good future coming so that makes it a little less scary. Hopefully by this fall, I'll be a licensed cosmetologist C:
spring break was about two weeks ago, but I'll talk about it anyway. I stayed in Michigan and didn't really do anything that exciting, until the last weekend. I went up north with my boyfriend, his friend and his two cousins. We stayed in their grandparent's old house and it was really fun. I wish it could have lasted longer though, it was really relaxing to be in a town with very little people and stay in a house with no neighbors. Hopefully we can go up again this summer C:
with the thought of hockey on my mind, i would like to discuss my love for a specific player in the NHL. Liek everyone, i too have a specific figure who i look up to and dream to one day be like, and that person is Alexander Ovechkin. Alex is the current captain for the washington capitals who are on there way to hopefully clinching the stanley cup. Growing up in russia, alex played for all sorts of teams including russia's national hockey team. After years of playing for russia, alex entered the nhl draft and was takin by the washington capitals. he immediatly shocked the nation with his ability to move the puck down the ice, moving around the opponent. he is built of all different attributes such as his speed, high powered shot and accuracy. He is also well known for his big hits made on the ice due to his strength and large body build. Ovechkin led the league in goals, assists, and overall points. Everything about him and the things he can do with and without the puck absoulutly amazes me. With what he has shown us so far, i have no doubt in the world that he will be looked back at by other generations, as a hockey god such as a wayne gretzky.
Yesterday was a wierd day. It was supposed to storm, there was tornado watches and it was supposed to hail. I had a track meet yesterday and I was expecting the worst. The weather looked like it was going to get really bad (even though it was like 70 degrees). They ran the track meet super fast in order to try and bea tthe weather. nothing never happened though. All it got was cloudy and windy. It was really warm and most of the meet it was sunny and beautiful. i have no idea what the weather people were talking about. And today, they said 30% chance of rain at 7 this morning. It was absolutly pouring. People came in saoked to the bone. It looked liek they just got out of the shower with their clothes on.
Summer is coming and I am really excited. I cant wait for graduation and to be done with high school. I also am really excited for my graduation party. It is going to be a lot of fun. i have so many things I am going to do this summer, it is going to fly by. I have graduation, my graduation party, a possible Alaska trip, up-north, Indiana and proabbly more. Its going to be a lot of fun. I am also excited to go to college in the fall. I am planning to go to MSU. I think that will be a lot of fun too. As the year is winding down, I am about to take some AP tests and then Those classes will basically be done.
Really soon I am going to go up north to my cabin. In early may, just around mothers day, the Morel Mushroom grows in Michigan. It is a wild mushroom that has the best rasting flavor you will ever taste in a mushroom. It sounds really wierd but they are really good. For some reason, people dont know how to grow them, they just know they come around this time of year in the wild. Scientists have been trying to grow them to sell on a larger market, but never have been able to do it successfully. This time of year, we go up north, out in the woods and look for these things. If you like mushrooms, you have to try these. You can buy them at very high end produce stores, but they come from people who find them in the wild. To buy them, its 40.00 for just 4 oz of them.
Seafood is some of the best food around. I love any kind of seafood. Everything from shrimp, crab, lobster, scollops, mussels, fish of any kind, and even sushi. Sushi I think is really good. It is somethign everyone should at least try. Most poeple dont even try it becasue they cant get past the idea of it. You cant knock it until you try it. OUt of all seafood though, crab or freshly caught lake fish are of my favorites. Bluegill, sunfish, perch and walleye are some of the best tasting fish in my opinion. since I am a fisherman, i love going to the lake, catching me a mess of good fish and having a fish fry. Just thinking about it makes me want to go fishing right now.
A friend of mine just went to court today beacuse of a speeding ticket he got. He was racing one of his friends and they bost blew past a cop ay about 80 mph. The one got pulle dover but my other friend didnt. I dont know why peopel would want to go 80mph or more down M-59. That is just absolutly crazy. your asking for a funeral doing something like that. For me, I've never gotten a ticket, but I have gotten in an accident. The accident htough wast my fault. I was stopped waiting to make a left turn and some idiot decided to rear end me. Not very fun. Fortunatly, my truck was ok. her car on the other hand was mashed and she could even drive it away. Thats whats nice about driving a truck!
Right now I am in the CAD computer lab and it is ridiculously hot. Some rooms in this school are really hot, whilel others are really cold. No matter waht time of year it is, they can never seem to get it right. i dont know if its the custodians, the equipmment, or the lack of funds to upgrade, but something needs to be done. I understand the schhol is a large place to heat/cool, but they do make systems large enough to accomadate such provisiosn. I dont know what the deal is. It also seems to be worse in certain classrooms all the time. Certain classrooms always have temeprature issues. Its strange that they are not able to fix the issue, or it takes them way too long to get to it.
Over spring break I went to Key West, Grand Cayman, and Ocho Rios Jamaica on a cruise. I didnt think that this cruise was going to be fun at all but I was wrong. It ended up being really fun and you got to meet a lot of new people. They had all the food you can think of and had other things you can do to occupy yourself. There were kids from Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, and even Michigan. They were all cool and we just had fun. If I was given another chance to go on a cruise I would do it.
Well we are almost done with our high school careers. It just seemed like we were freshman not too long ago and now we are finally getting to graduate. There has been a lot of memorable memories we've had over the years like winning against Milford in football and had fun there. I know once the time comes to say goodbye to everyone there, it will be sad but I'm ready to go to college and become one step closer to become a police officer.
Today, I got a ride from one of my friends and we both saw that gas was over 4 dollars a gallon for gas. The rising gas prices are becoming a problem now because most of us need our cars for getting to work and other things and now gas is rediculous. This is happening because we are buying our oil from overseas and demand is always high. What we need to do is to start thinking about drilling here in the States so the price will go down a little bit. If gas keeps going up like 5 or 6 bucks a gallon, then we will see people start riding motorcycles or bikes to work.
Some people like rock and some people like rap but to me, I like country. I think its got a catchy tune to most of their songs and most of them you would hear at a party or a graduation. If you look pass all the sad songs, its really good for a long drive or even just something to listen to. I would recommend this to anyone and some of them would be Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Colt Ford, and many other good country bands.
In 2 more weeks, the Downtown Hoedown will be coming to Hart Plaza in Pontiac. For those who don't know what the Downtown Hoedown is, its a 3 day concert that plays the most popular country artists and vendors go down to sample their products there. Even if you don't like country, its just fun to meet different people there. I think that its gonna be a good concert this year because they've got a good lineup for the 3 days.
Well, again procrastination has been a problem for me so time to blog. Not sure what to really blog about really. The blogs are a great idea mainly because we don't have to turn in note books etc. It also gives people some way to express themselves if they are confident in being open which is nice.Not really sure what else right now.
I am probably not the only sick of the gas pries going up and up. I get surprisingly good gas millage in my car. I think mainly gas millage depends on how you drive. My Camaro has a 5 liter v8 and I still manage to get 20-22 MPG by not driving like a asshole. When I do decide too though I still get around 18 which isn't a very big difference, but with the way prices are going its starting to be. If people just ease into the throttle more instead of just stomping it to get up to speed you will save more gas.
To fight the gas prices people are buying hybrids and small engine cars to get better MPG. Me I decided to get a motorcycle. For less cost and what I think is a more enjoyable ride I can go 150+ miles on just 2 gallons on gas. I think more people should get motorcycles mainly because it will raise awareness of them. Most motorcycle accidents are caused by car drivers not noticing the motorcyclist. Most people think its just the motorcyclist being a jackass but its not. Its the people speed while texting on their phone and not paying attention. Motorcycles have been given a bad name because of that.
today i went running for a mile. the thing i noticed was even though i went running, my body felt like it didnt want to. it was almost as if my mind and body were fighting on what to do? ive noticed when i try to work out after i eat i have less urge to workout than if i worked out before i ate. i dont know why it is like this for me, but life is strange in many ways i guess.
everyone went away on spring brake, but i didnt not. My friend laura and i watched my friend taylors house along with her dog. Laura is like my very bestfriend and i never once got sick of her. we did everything together that week and we had alot of fun even if we werent doing anything. I could really see my self being a roommate with laura in college or moving into a small house or something with her. Laura is my one friend that i can trust 100% and always relie on if im upset. I spend every weekend with her we are always together. I love her to death
Im so excited for school to be over. I think we have like a total of 20 days or something left. Im so excited for summer i hope this summer is even better than last year. Im so excited for all the bonfires, the partys, the boat rides and swimming. I would have to saw the best part of summer is waking up late knowing that you have nothing really important to do.
I dont really get the point of blogging. Ive had to do it for 3 years now. Mr.kay would always make us do it but instead of doing 10 or 15 a semester we had to do it everyday. I never know what to talk about so its really hard to make it really long like most peoples. So most of mine will be short and to the point. I dont liek blogging i think its pointless and i dont see how it helps in school.
lately i have been going to bed so late and its really hard for me to get up in the morning for school. I love love love sleeping and i never watn to get up in the morning. in the morning i have to take a shower then right after i have to wake up my sister becasue she cant wake up on her own. most of the time she fights me and never gets up when i tell her to and it makes me very angry. Then i have to do my hair which takes me forever cuz its really thick. then i do my makeup and find an outfit to wear then im off to school
there is so many things that i have learned threw high school that have effect my positivly. The most important would probably be to respect everyone even if you dont know them. Also you should always smile at people in the halls it makes you feel good and the other person you are smiling at. It feels good to know that people notice you and respect you as well as you doing the same for them. you always need to have ta positive attitude or you will get no where with people in highschool.
Im kind of scared for college and what it comes with. I think its more of the fact that im scared to leave home. i dont know what i would do without my parents. They both mean the world to me and i love them more than anything else in the world. I have so much respect for them and eerything they do for me. Im also scared that i wont be successful in college and go no where in life. eventhough thats mostlikely not goign to happen i still think about it all the time.
Everyone is so excited for prom but im really not that excited. I havent got asked yet and i really dont think im going to. Which kinda makes me sad but what am i going to do about it. so if i dont get asked then im not going. i dont really see the point of going if you dont have a date. Everyone goes with someone and i would just feel awkard if i didnt have a date. I really want to be asked in a cute way.
I really hate school. Actually,i've really lost all motivation for it. I'm not scared for college, in fact, i think that it will only make me a better person and let me have my own freedom. I think it's finally starting to set in with my parents that i'm not exactly a kid anymore.
I'm going to Chicago again this weekend. When i went for my Senior Trip, it ended up being really lame. First off, my friend who i went with enter into the trip in a automatically bad mood. She wanted to be somewhere warm. To add to her mindset, it was raining almost all the time. Im hoping nowthat i am going with my boyfriend and his family, that we will all just relax and have a great time!

Currently, I am in AP Calculus. I have never had such a hard class in my life. Everything in school has come so easy to me, but Calculus is just downright hard. I have cruised through all my math classes up until this point. I want to become an engineer, and I know that these skills will be invaluable. i will have to take even more calculus in college for engineering. I think all of the concepts and stuff is interesting, it is just hard to wrap your head around it sometimes. The countless rules, processes and formulas that you have to remeber are mind blowing. It also doesnt help that calculus is a new subject in math on its own. Geometry and algebra classes are all related and build off one another. Calculus uses some algebra, but most of the concepts are brand new, so it is like learning a new language. Most of the concepts I havent even heard of until i got in the class. Things like integrals and deriviatives are such concepts. I hope I will do OK with this in college!
My dad has been getting no me lately because i don't really believe in chivalry because I always think if boys and girls are supposed to be equal why can't girls try to be polite to guys. I'm not really sure why he is getting upset for me he always told me to be myself and not to get stepped on and hurt. How can I make sure that happens if and that I am still myself if I can't even do what I truly want. Chivalry is cute and stuff but why can't girls show the same feelings towards guys. I have always been doing the kind of stuff guys do for girls well mainly opening doors and all of a sudden I have to stop. Why aren't I allowed to do what I want just because I'm older that doesn't mean that I can't be the same in that respect.
as a senior im still taking spanish. I hate spanish i think its completly pointless and i dont understand why people are required to take it. I think that we sould be learning some other forigen language other than the ones that we have an option to take. FOr me spanish is really hard and i barely know anything.its really hard for me to understand anything in spanish i cant even read it. its super super super hard.
So i was online looking at this store called "the container store." I've already got an idea of what i want my dorm to look like. I'm thinking like an eggplant purple with gray. I'm kinda a clean freak, so i hope that my roommate isnt messy.... or weird.
Spring break in mexico this year was insane from what I can remember. I spent most of my time in the pool underneath the cabana sitting at the swim up bar chilling with all of my friends and meeting new people. I met so many new people down there and everyone was friends, none of us really cared where eachother were from. At night we would all go to the club called the Jaguar. Dancing and loud music took place in this club but you had to be 18 and older to get in. Altogether it was the experience of a lifetime.
The rain of late has been really bad. We have had a lot of storms recently, and its getting a littel old. Most of these storms are the atermath of the really bad storms down south. It sounds like they have had a whole bunch or tornados and many people have been killed. This is a bad time of year for this kind of stuff. it seems like every year there is alawys flooding and tornados that wreck havok in the United States. Luckily though, Michigan is pretty lucky for avoiding big disasters like that. It is very rare for us to have a tornado, so we dont have to worry much about them. it is impossible for a hurricane to hit us, and we are nowhere near any fault lines that would cause us to have any earthquakes. From a natural disaster standpoint, we are pretty safe. That doesnt mean we dont get a lot of rain or snow however. I like michigan for its always changing seasons and weather. it mixes it up a little. My favorite time of year though has to be the fall. The colors are really amazing.
Next year my plans are to go to the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I will be atending the College of Engineering as a freshmen. I am very excited to go there as it has always been my dream as a kid. I cannot wait to attend the football games at the big house, and experience life as a college student in one of the biggest campuses in the country. Most of all, however, I can't wait to start over with meeting new people. I am done with high school and I have never been really happy with my social status at Laklenad. I can start all over in college because it will all be new. Another reason I am excited is because I will be off on my own, making my own decisions and living independently.
I actually kinda of enjoy school now that i think about it. not the actually learning part but seeing all my friends everyday it awesome. I think im really going to miss highschool when im done with it. right now im more excited than anything to be done with school. but later on im goign to miss it. like seeing everyone all the time haveing something to do like everyday. looking forward to the weekend and finding something to do after school if i dont have homework. highschool has changed me for the better and im thankful for that
My first hour was so fun, I'm the only senior in the class though but I still have other friends. We were playing the circle game as we call it which is supposed to be where there are enough chairs in a circle for everybody but one person and that one person has to stand in the middle and say something about themselves if someone else agrees they have to get up and run for a different chair that is unoccupied brcause the other person agrees. It's a game we play to learn more about each other. There is this one girl I can never remember her name I want to say it's Emily but I'm not sure she is a freshman. Anyway she is supposed to be the "creepy" person in the class. Someone was saying that she didn't like her and the person that said that was in the middle of the circle so my teacher got up joking with her and the whole class noticed and started laughing. Earlier she stole a chair from someone well not literally she just jumped in front of them to land on the chair. She is competetive just like most of us. It was an awesome hour, we have known each other all year so we have good chemistry and we know how to get along with each other.
Blogging again, this time about Prom :] I am the VP of our class and we have been planning prom for 2 years now and its going to be great! June 2nd at Crystal Gardens in Howell. The tickets will be on sale until May 18th so don't wait until the last minute! Also, we need people to download pictures onto moodle for the graduation slideshow :] Let any of us class officers know if you have any questions!
this is my last blog! yay. staring at this computer is making my head hurt really bad and my eyes burn. im sick of blogging i really have no idea what to talk about. im excited to be missing school tomorrow for our feild trip. i have already been here last year with the team tought class and i enjoyed it for the most part. it was intersting to see a actual college and see how big it is on the inside. i dont know where im going to college next year but probably occ or heneryford.
A few weeks ago, I went on vacation to Grand Cayman. Although the trip was fun and I saw a lot of cool stuff, I now have tons of work to do and various pressures on me to graduate. I absolutely HATE it when people talk to me like it is their problem! Why can't I handle it myself without all the freaking pressure?!?
So everyday lately seems to be the same thing. School, Hockey, watch hockey then go to bed. I wish the weather was nicer so i could actually go on the boat and hangout with friends. So i guess ill have to wait until it gets nice to get out of this hole.
I'm getting a little nervous about graduating OTC on time. My goal was to graduate by the end of summer school, and when I started off the year I was sure that it would happen. But after so many early release days and days where I wasn't able to go, I'm pushing it. And I just found out that I have to go to Lakeland's graduation rehearsal June 1st which means I have to miss seven hours at school. I just really don't want to have to go back to OTC in the fall, because if I do it will only be for a few days, and that would be pointless.
I cant believe that theres only a month left of school. I have really mixed emotions about it all, and am still trying to figure out what i am going to do once i get out of this place. I have been accepted to afew colleges, but im caught between going for my goals and doing what everyone else is telling me i should do...
Prom is coming up, and I'm kind of excited about it. I never thought that I would go to prom, and I didn't plan on it until I found the dress I'm going to wear. Plus my boyfriend and my family convinced me that I might regret it. I just hope it's not stupid...which it probably will be, like most other Lakeland dances. But I'm going to give it a chance.
So prom prom what to do what to do, I have nobody in mind to ask. Im not really even attracted to most of the girls left in our school. Thats why I need to get out of here and go to college already. I want to party and have fun already im just sick of all this high school b.s
So I was accepted to Oakland University and Oakland Community College, I had my heart set at Oakland Univeristy and my dad wants me to go to OCC. He doesn't seem to understand I worked my butt off to go to Oakland University or a school like it since 8th grade. Now he doesn't want me to go all of a sudden and it's really upsetting. When I went on the OCC field trip because I wasn't accepted at Oakland University I took the COMPASS test the placement test they have. My language arts score was 4 points off from perfect and language arts is my worst subject. For math I got like a 46 or so out of 100. MAth has always been my best subject. That test is so messed up I can only imagine how bad the math department is, which is what I want to major in. My first few math classes will be what sets me up for success or failure. I want to tell him that I want to do the O2O which is where I can enroll is at both Oakland University and OCC. It sounds like a compromise of what we both want.
A week ago, Playstaion Network went down for maitainence. Since then, I have started a new hobby; I'm writing stories. So far, I have posted 4 chapters of the 1st part of a story I had thought up. If you want to see it, look up GrandmasterDash on fanfiction.net. I think it's preety cool so far.
So evan and I have a friend who is really cool and fun to hang around, when he is not constantly worrying about his girlfriend. He is constantly texting her and will not do anything if she doesn't want him to. So basically she controls every aspect of his life. He is so concerned with pleasing her that he doesn't take the time to live life and do what he wants to do in life. Evan is concerned because he is rooming with him next year at collge. Evan wants to have fun and live the college life, but this girl is going to hinder him from having any fun indirectly. She also doesn't appreciate him that much which is a problem. We both think that he needs to break up with her for these reasons but he will not.
Sometimes, I feel like I can't handle all the pressure people put on me. I know I'm smart, but I feel like they expect me to prove it more and more. What I would want is to have a clean slate; that way, people would leave me alone.
I'm so excited to get out of Lakeland and start my life. I plan on going to OCC in the fall and I'll have my associate's degree in one year C: I already have half of the credits just from going to OTC. I think I'll enjoy college a lot more than high school, and once I'm done with OCC I can (hopefully) start assisting in a salon. I don't plan on moving out for a few years, though. A lot of people are planning on moving out as soon as they can, but I want to save up money first so I don't have to struggle as much.
This summer is going to be bomb, its going to be everybodys last summer together. So we are all going to live it up and live everyday like a party. There are going to be so many grad partys we are going to have and everything is going to be awesome. I think i am going to have a karaoke machine at mine, which will be awesome. I am going to have a blast.
I can't wait for this summer to come around. Once all AP testing is done, i am considering it summer. I can't wait to party all summer before I go off to college. To start, we have prom which I am excited about. It is going to be a blast and it is going to be awesome. I still don't have a date, but I will before prom. It is going to be our last summer together with all out friends, so we have to end it on a good ote. I will probably never see most of these people ever again. Overall, i am really excited.
Over spring break I went on a cruise to Costa Maya and Cozumel. It was a 5 day cruise on Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas. It was a lot of fun and I went with my family. It was cool because it forced me to meet new people. I met some people from Michigan and Georgia and we had a lot of fun in Mexico and on the ship. Aboard the ship there was a pool deck, a casino, a huge dining hall, a theater, and other things. I never got bored once on the trip. I also flew to North Dakota for a wedding on spring break. My cousing got married and I was an usher. It was fun because I got to ride in the limo with the wedding party before the reception and I got to sit at the head table. I had a really fun spring break.
Recently, I built a computer with some old spare parts laying around. I first tried to make a Hackintosh by installing OSX 10.6 on it, but that failed so I installed Ubuntu. It is a Linux distribution that is very user friendly. Since it is Linux, it is open source, which means it can easily be modified and any kind of program can be installed on it. As opposed to Windows where everything must conform to Microsoft's policies. It is also free. The downside is that it is often difficult for people to use who are not tech savvy. The next step I had to do was hook it up so that I could use one set of keyboard and mice on two different computers. I used a program called Synergy to connect the computers through my home's LAN network. It is great because the program works accross platforms. It is really cool.
I wasnt able to go anyway during spring break this year. Thats because I got to go to Hawaii over Christmas break. Although that trip wasnt the best; a lot of things happened that made it not so fun. Being able to say that I've been t Hawaii though is good enough I suppose. Not many people can say that. So instead of going somewhere over spring break, I stayed home. I went shopping and got some clothes. I really need a new wardrobe. Most of my clothes either dont fit or I dont wear anymore. I also went to some family things. And my birthday was during spring break, so I got some presents too.
The next two months are going to be busy. Although school is boring and I dont do anything while I'm there, there is alot going on outside of school, too. This week is my last week of a full week of actual school. Nest week I have 2 days of ap testing, and the week after I have one day of ap testing. Then on the 19th, we only have a half day. And finally, for our last week of school, that monday is senior skip day, and friday isnt really a day of school anyway. Then prom is june 2, graduation on june 5, and orientation for college on june 8. My dance rehearsal and recital is the week of the 13th, then my graduation party is june 25th. Then june 28th im going to California to visit my aunt and cousin with my grandma, and I dont get home until July 12th. What a busy couple months.
Like I mentioned in my last post, I'm going to California from June 28th until July 12th this summer. I am very excited because I havent been there sense 7th grade. When I was little me, my brother, and my mom would go there all the time to visit my aunt. But once we grew up, we stopped going. Probably because it was getting more and more expensive. We also would go up north every summer, but we stopped going up there when my other aunt got a divorce. I went to there every summer from before I was born, until 7th grade. I loved going up there. The cottage was on lake Huron by Rogers City. There would be a parade and a festival every year too. It was sort of like Milford Memories.
I have been obsessed with the Hunger Games since I found the series last year, well obsessed may not be the right word, maybe in love with. I always go on 2 different Hunger Games websites whenever I can get o the computer just to check the cast out for the movie that comes out in 2012. I've never followed a book being made into a movie so intensly but that's probably because I haven't had a book that I really loved that was being made into a movie while I was reading it. I usually come in after the movie comes out.
After etting all of the surveys and questionaires we got recently I've finally realized the year is almost over. It seems like we just entered high school last year or so and now it's over in less than a month. It' wierd to think about, everything is going to be over soon, we won't be going to Lakealnd again next year even though it feels like we will be. I guess that's what happens when you go to some place for so long. It feels like it can't go on without you when it really can.
With the end of highschool coming closer and closer, i can not to this day believe how fast it went by. Looking back i can say i do not regret one thing, as i made the best of it and met many new friends. Coming into highschool i was very nervous as i would have to walk the big halls of lakeland withthe older kids. But at the same time, i was very excited to meet all the incoming freshmen like myself from oakvalley. Growing up with the same friends i was nervous to see what the other group of people would be like and if we were to get along. turns out, we all connected immediatly and became great friends with everyone. I was able to make a bunch of friends and spend my time with them throughout highschool. Today, some of my bestfriends came from oakvalley and am happy to have gotten the time to have that friendship. With graduation right around the corner, i am starting to get the nervous feelings back as i am going to have to start all over with meeting new people as we move into college. I am sad it is all over, but plan to always keep in contact with those i was close to.
Throughout highschool, many memories were made. One of my biggest memories had to have been the time spent with some of my closest friends down in punta cana. In the begging of the year, the big question was were our senior trip was going to be. Many fought to go to cancun or many other locations. Turned out the final decision was the dominican republic. Once the decision was finnaly made, the worst part came, and that was waiting till spring break. After all, the long long wait was well worth it. All my life i have ever witnessed such a beautiful place. When we arrived down there, it is easy to say that the lakeland senior group made themselves right at home and fit in to the scene. After day one we all couldnt believe we were finnaly here and that it was only day one. A week later, we were on the plane back to the states. WE coulnd not believe how fast the trip had went by and how sad it was that it was over. though its all a wrap, we all can agree that many memories were made, and we can live on to tell many stories about our senior trip to punta cana, dominican republic.
Well now that school is coming to a end I wonder what I am going to be doing after. If I am going to go to college after or just work at where ever I get a job. Maybe get lucky and work at a auto shop and get my certifications through there. Or maybe go to school at specs howard for broadcasting or video game design. I am still indecisive on what I want to do after high school. I do know I don't want a "job" something thats just day in day out. I want a career something that I will enjoy doing.
Summer is finally coming around which I am excited for. Before it was we just get out of school. Now its freedom. I know I am excited for the hoedown in may this year. I know I am going with a group of people from school. I also wonder how many people besides our group is going. It is going to be fun though either way.
Normally I am not a fan of covers in music. I was surprised a week or so ago though when I heard a cover of "Old Man" by Redlight King. It is the same as the original lyrics wise. It also has clips from the original in the song. What surprised me is how much it has changed from the original without ruining it. Its a great song and just flows.
The one thing I think I really hate about lakeland is the lack of respect for peoples cars in the parking lot. It seems like no one cares whats going on there. When people are walking in they don't care if a car is coming because they have the right of way. Which is kinda stupid cars just cant stop because you decide to be a jackass. People also seem to think its a good idea to put their car door into someone else's. I have had one of my cars dinged twice this year. The other one I haven't bothered with because its already beat up.
I feel like i am running out of things to blog about. I don't know if its a lack of creativity or lack of expression. Blogging is fun though in its own right. It makes me thing of stuff to write about. The only time I have a hard time with it is when my mind goes blank.
Video games seem to have gotten popular with everyone lately. Not just introvert people. Myself I dislike playing games unless I am on xbox live with my friends. Some people think the mainstreaming and social friendly games are "destroying" it. They still make good games that newer people to the scene will not know about. Why would it really matter though either way? If you enjoy it why not share it with someone else.
Bands are a inspirational thing. Through their names their songs. The way they express themselves their is something for everyone. There is a song somewhere that someone can relate too. Either it be going out having a good night. Or picking yourself up from disaster and putting everything back together and making it better. I feel like its great that we have people that can make this. One song could bring all sorts of people together just of similar interest. They could relate to the song through experiences they have had or just both having the same taste in music. Without music this world would be very different.
I feel like I have done all 10 of my blogs but I am going to do this last one just to be sure. I feel like I have gone over a handful of things but mainly go back to stuff I like overall. That I am just expressing the same thing differently. I also have read over some other blogs people have posted. Some just venting others talking about their day or dreams. Others are just flat out strange to me. But writing is a form of expression so might as well get some kind of word out instead of keep it all bottled up.
Neil Peart is, in my opinion, one of the best drummers of all time. For those of you that do not know, he is the drummer for the band Rush. He is one of the fastest, calmest, most creative drummers I have ever seen. While he plays the drums, it looks like he doesn't even break a sweat. He just sits there as if he is watching TV. I watched a documentary on him once that said that he rarely ever gets his songs 100% right in front of a live audience. It seems like he gets pretty close to me! He is definitely an inspiration to me as a drummer and I wish I had that kind of talent. I love the band and the music they play as well. Overall, Neil Peart is one of the best drummers of all time in my opinion. If you do not know who he is, look him up, you will be amazed.
One regret I have from high school is not having a great social life. At the start of 9th grade, I didn't have much social life at all, even though I desperately wanted friends and people to accept me. I now have a lot of friends but only about two close friends. I don't really hang out with a lot of people outside of school or get invited to parties. I know a lot of people say who needs those people who party all the time, but the truth is they have a lot of fun doing it. I have a lot of fun doing it too, the few times I have had the opportunity. I am not saying I want to be part of the "popular" group. All I am saying is that those people need to be more open to having other people come hang out with them instead of ridiculing people for trying to fit in. I personally think of myself as a guy who is friends with all types of people. I like that, but it has its disadvantages such as this one above.
For this bog, I am going to talk about things that annoy me and pet peeves. There are two things that really annoy me and I do not know why. One of them is when people stop right in front of you in the hallway to talk to someone. I just want to push them out of the way and I hope they trip and fall or something. You would not do something like that on the road so do not do it in the hallway. i will even give them like a hip or shoulder check if they do stop in front of me in the hallway. My other pet peeve is when people do not accelerate up to highway speeds on the ramp to get on the expressway. People go like 45 mph on the ramp and then try to merge with traffic and it messes everything up. Not only that, but they cause everyone behind them on the ramp to go slower so even more people get annoyed. That is what the ramp is for, and that is why it is so long so that you can get up to 70 mph before you merge.
Today is Thursday, so this means that the weekend is almost here. I am so excited! Friday, I'm hanging out with my two best friends Mollie and Kristen. We all have been best friends since we were in 3rd grade. It's pretty incredible, because we have the type of relationship where we can not talk for weeks, but when we hang out, it's like not even a minute has gone by. Our plan is to go to the Comeback Inn doe dinner and get the amazing taco salad, and then go do whatever comes to our minds. Then on Saturday I'm going to the movies to see Water for Elephants with one of my favorite people ever!! I hope for a good weekend! :)
So I guess I have to give a speech at graduation this year. I honestly have not started it yet and I have no idea what I am going to talk about. I told the other person that we should do a duet because there is two of us. This way we could sing and entertain people. She didn't think it was such a good idea and you really don't want to hear me sing. I will probably just do some inspirational stuff but I do want to try to make it somewhat entertaining to people.
Plans for this weekend. Hmmmm... Well tomorrow (Friday) I am going to UofM. Tomorrow night I have a lacrosse game against Hartland. Saturday morning I plan to wake up early to take a practice AP Calculus test. After that I will go to work until about 8 or 9 oclock at night. Then I will probably go out and hang out with some people. Then Sunday morning I will wake up and do homework. I am going to an AP Chemistry study session from 3-7 pm. It will be a pain but it waill hopefully pay off because the AP test is on Monday. I am headed for a busy weekend, but I think it will be a rewarding one.
As of right now I'm watching Vampire Daries with my mom. When I first saw this show I thought it was really stupid and just another show that every girl would be gossiping about and would be in love with the vampires of the show. However, just recently I gave the show a chance and watched it a few times and it's actually pretty good. It deals a lot with relationships and problem solving. This show is very similar to thte Twilight Saga, but the difference is is that there's more action and less lovey dovey stuff. This is the reason why I like this show, don't get me wrong I love the Twilight books, but I just feel they give a unrealistic look of realtionships.
Part of my staying home for college is that my dad would buy me a new car! I really want a Jeep wrangler! So today my family and I went to the Chrysler and I got to test drive a jeep. It was so cool, I fell in love with it as soon as I got in the driver's seat. The color that I would like is that beautiful blue, but I probably won't get that color, because we have to buy a new used car. Either way, I am still very excited. As previously stated, I'm getting the Jeep Wrangler, however, I will be getting the hard top. On the plus side though, a tiny part of the hard stop still comes off, so you can still have the top off in the summer while driving. I am very thankful for my dad buying it for me!
One thing that bother's me the most is when people don't think and then they get mad at you! When something isn't your responsibility, then you clearly aren't responsible for it. Especailly when it's 9:30 at night and they're calling you for help for a test that is tomorrow because they don't want to fail. Well, maybe they should have thought of that before this late at night. What get's me the most is that they are being rude to you on the phone like you have no right to be upset. News flash, I do. I have other homework and other things that need to be done. It would be okay if it's just a one time thing, but when it's over and over it's really frustrating and annoying.
Blog #6 I just ate some delicious hummus it was so good that I am going to talk about it. I really like middle eastern food because it is spicy. Tomorrow I am bringing hummus as my lunch to mix it up. And after I'm done writing this I am going to go eat some more hummus. I dont even know what hummus is made out of but I really like it
Blog #7 I haven't found a prom dress yet and that's kind of a problem. I like the dresses with the obnoxious prints but I would have to be really tan to wear that. Also, I have been looking at the mermaid style dresses because they slim the body. And I think the one shoulder dresses are very pretty. My mom told me she wont go prom dress shopping with me because she thinks I will not be a happy camper. Thats okay because she will have an opinion on it but it wont matter because she wont be there. I am going to Somerset tomorrow for prom dress shopping. So, I am way excited.
Blog #8 Currently I am listening to club music and that music really pumps me up. I have gone to the club with my friends Raechel Moore and Sarah Brandenburg. That was an experience, we went to Tonic and Tiki Bobs. Lets just say Tiki's was a good people watching experience. I saw some disgusting things that makes me questions peoples class level. Overall, this was a great people watching experience and I couldnt help but laugh. And it was in Pontiac so it was a mini road trip to a different part of town!
#1 So I hate michigan weather. It is so unpredictable and dissapointing. It was 70 and sunny the last day of spring break while it was rainy and crappy the whole week before that. Now it wont stop raining and it is miserable outside. Nobody likes this weather, mother nature is not being nice to us. I want it to be summer so bad.
I am kinda nervous about the AP tests coming up but not really. For AP gov, I dont even want to talk about that test. But that test inst until May 10th so I have some time to study. I still have to do ALL of my review packets for that class. I have gone through some of the questions and realized I dont know something about our government. In AP gov, I have been drawing hand turkeys because I am so bored.
Today is the NFL draft and i couldnt be more excited about Lions football this year. The lions are starting to do things the right way, and us die hards couldnt be happier. They are drafting the right guys to builf their team, along with their coach doing a great job of using the guys that he has to be the best they can be. I think that jst about everyboidy is expcecting a playoff appearance this year, especailly after beating the super bowl champions to be last year.
This is my last blog! I'm not sure what I want to talk about. Im feeling alright. I cant wait for school to be over. Im really done with school. I dont feel like doing my homework, and I ust cant concentrate anymore. I hope I'll be okay when I take the AP tests though. I really cant wait to go to California. I miss the sunny days and the warm weather. I like it when it's in the mid 80's. It's about time Michigan gets warmer. Im tired of the cold rainy days. Just as tired as I am with school.
Right now I am on facebook and nothing is happening. I keep seeing dumb stats go across my live feed. Currently, my dog is sitting on my bed and he looks so cute. I really want some hummus right now and I just ate it. Im SOOO happy that tomorrow is friday. I cant wait to sleep in on friday. I cant wait to go shopping. That was my last bloggg. YAy!
#3 Today I had a baseball game. We had a doubleheader against Waterford mott. Our team played the worst game that we have everr played today, and in return lost the first game. I didnt play very well and I was very dissapointed afterwards because I expect a lot out of myself and when i do do poorly, i take it harshly. In the second game Brynn hamilton came up and singled in the winning run in the bottom of the sventh inning.
Through my high school career, there has been a lot of things that Ive learned. One of them is to respect everyone that you see now because they remember that and you will probably see them in the future. Another thing Ive learned is that you don't have to worry about what other people think of you because its only your opinion that matters. Its better to be hated for who you are then be loved for who your not. Lastly just be yourself. People will respect you more for being you then pretending to be someone else.
Summer. The one thing that we all hope for in the year because its a time where you can hang with your friends almost everyday and don't have to worry about homework or school. You also can go on the water and go jet skiing or anything that involves watersports. The only bad part of summer is that it gets very hot. I don't have air conditioning in my house so I either have to go downstairs to sleep or go up in my room and keep the fan on.
After not having a car for 2 months it has been an inconvenience because I have to ask for rides to someones house or either try to find a ride to work. Not having a car really impares you from a lot of things and sometimes it can be a good thing. In my case, I tore down my whole front end of the Jeep down and all I have to do now is to paint the 2 quarter panels and the front end. After that, I have to put it back together and just do minor things and it will be back on the road. Hopefully it will be soon
"Live to Ride, Ride to Live". Its a quote that all motorcyclists live by because when your on the road, you feel like you got a taste of freedom. Ever since I was little Ive always wanted a motorcycle. Its just something that has always interested me and just wanted to do. With riding a motorcycle also comes with a price. You are more likely to die in a accident than a passenger in a car would. So not only are you watching for yourself, but you are also watching everyone else on the road as well. Some accidents are just the persons fault because they were going too fast or they just were not looking. If anyone is thinking about getting one, all I have to say is be careful because there are those idiots out there.
Common sense. A word that some people in todays society that don't get it. It happens on TV, at the workplace, everywhere. Someone was trying to ask me where something was at work when it was staring them right in their face or my friend was asking me how to check your oil in your car. Its all just easy stuff. you just gotta think about it.
#6 I am so tired today. Not really sleepy tired, I just don't want to do anything. I was supposed to go on the field trip to the University of Michigan with my senior comp class, but I really can't miss the hours at OTC. I don't feel like going there today though :/ But oh well, I'll be happy when I'm out of there by the end of July.
#7 I really wish people in this school would learn how to walk through the hallwys. I wonder sometimes if these kids drive the way they walk. People block the hallways, walk at a snail's pace, stop randomly, and don't care who they run into. It's very, very annoying. I mean, is it really that hard? I can't wait to get out of this school.
#8 Regardless of how much I hate high school, it has taught me a lot of things. I've grown so much and learned most of my life lessons through my experiences here. I started high school as a freshman in the International Academy, and I expected to stay in that all four years, graduate with my IB diploma, and go on to become a neurologist. I met some great friends and had a good time...until the work got to be too much for me. I was so scared to leave, though, because my best friend was in the school and doing great, and the thought of being without my friends was hard for me. But from that I learned that you have to go your own way and do what's best for you, even if that means leaving people behind. I went on to be a normal Lakeland student in 10th grade, but that year went sour as well. One of my best friends completely stabbed me in the back and turned a lot of other people against me. I didn't even do anything to deserve it either, so that messed me up. But from her, I learned that things change, and not all friends stick around forever, but you don't need anyone in your life who doesn't want you in theirs. Those were probably the two biggest things that have happened to me during high school. I've grown from those experiences and now have better friends and a way better future ahead of me.
#9 I'm running out of things to talk about. Last time we did blogs, I thought it would be hard to think of topics, but it wasn't. Right now I'm in the media lab with my senior english class working on our symposium speeches. I'm doing this instead though, because I have most of my presentation figured out, and we don't present until next Friday anyway. Second semester has gone by so quickly, I can't believe it's almost over. I thought Senior English would be the death of me, because I'm terrified of public speaking, but it wasn't that bad at all. I'm just glad I passed it the first time, when my brother told me about the class, he told me that he failed the first time but Mr. Kay gave him a second chance so he could walk at graduation. That scared me a little bit, but Mr. Perry is a great teacher and he made the class fun.
#10 Yay last blog. I guess I'll talk about our topic for this speech in Mr. Perry's class. Once I found some good information, I got really into it. My group picked drug trafficking as our topic, and at first I had a hard time finding articles and stuff, but then I found this really great, long article about why it's a problem, what Obama wants to try to do to fix it, and all the stuff going on in Mexico. It's really fascinating how smart the people in these drug cartels are. For example, when the Mexican government restricted the importation of pseudoephedrine (the key ingredient used to make meth), drug gangs figured out how to use a chemical found in the perfume industry to make their meth. They also have amazing ways of smuggling drugs across the border, including liquefying cocaine and putting it in red wine bottles. I find it funny how the governemnt tries to crack down on gangs and drug dealers and they think they're going to win the "War on Drugs". These gangs are smarter than that. What the government needs to do is get down on their level.
i am sitting in Michigan university right now. we are on a field trip to tour the school and research for our paper. we are sitting in some computer lab and i saw kaysi start doing blogs, so i was like "what a good effin idea yo!" im glad we only have to do 10 of these things this time..
Spring is here (finally), but it seems as if spring hasn't really come. It is still freezing outside and I hate the cold. I do not mind the cold when it it supposed to be cold, but now that it is not supposed to be cold anymore, I am getting upset. I hope the sun shines soon and it gets warm.
so i got a job not that long ago. i work at jets pizza in wixom. it is by far the easiest job there is. how hard is it to look on a map see where you gotta drop a pizza off, then get paid for it. sometimes i deliver to my friends and i get to come inside for a sec and chill. we'll see how long this one lasts. hahaha
When watching the news, a lot of the news is based on the tornados that happened a few days ago. It was terrible for those many tornados to hit at once. I saw in the news that one of the tornados was close to a mile wide. I could never imagine a mile wide tornado spinning towards me. I hope nothing like this happens again.
My biggest pet peeves in class: 1. People crunching loudly 2. People who don't know how to chew gum with their mouths closed 3. People talking when I am trying to concentrate 4. People who don't raise their hand and interrupt you when you are speaking about something 5. People who go through their bag for close to 30 minutes because they can't find what they are looking for
i love riding my bike. i am going to the skate park today with my friend Adam. i just got a brand new rear wheel and some new handle bars. when i got the handle bars in the mail, they were really long. so i got the bright idea to just cut them a little bit. well, of course i cut them way to short so i ended up just wasting $60 AWESOME!:)
The Top 10 things that make me wanna kick a baby 1. School lunches 2. unnecessary field trips 3. waking up in the morning 4. going to school 5. my truck 6. kaysi demko 7. spending too much money 8. non-pay days 9. orange crayons 10. school cops
As senior year continues, my desire to do work decreases. I have senioritis pretty bad and reay wish I didn't. I would rather get my work done early and not procrastinate until the last few days something is due. I notice the same thing with other students who are seniors so I know that I am not alone when it comes to this issue. We only have a few more weeks and I want to make them count. After my AP tests are finished, I will be done with high school. It went by in the blink of an eye but I am so happy that I am finished.
History is by far my least favorite subject when it comes to core classes. I do not understand the point of learning about the past when we should look towards the future. We should replace history with a class that will better our future outcomes as adults. All history does is fill your brain with useless facts that would only be applicable on Jepordy. Leta move on to the future instead of looking at the past.
I am in senior english now and I used to be anxious when giving speeches but now I am much more comfortable giving speeches now. At the beginnin of the semester, I wasn't sure how comfortable I would be in front of all these people that I didn't know. The more you give speeches, the more comfortable you are when you give them. If anyone was to give a speech, I would recommend practicing but not over-practicing because that can ruin ypur speech. Also, keeping it simple is great because over thinking your speech can be a disadvantage. Luckily I only have a few more speeches to give.
I am at the university, it is a BIG place. Makes Lakeland look like an apartment block. The university, a condo. I am finished with my research so I'm doing my blogs.
So today we went to Michigan university to visit the undergraduate library. It was fun and educational at the same time. Its nice to be able to visit the library and learn things about writing papers because in the future it will pay off.
Things I Hate About High School: -Drama -Teachers being rude -Ridiculous rules -Overly strict teachers -No cell phone use -Tests the teachers do not prepare you for -Immaturity
I brought a flash drive with me. It is a 8 GB stick I got from my sister's fiance. IT has my backed up save data for my PS3, among other things. It also contains my research data I've found from the University's database. Good amount of gold, I'd say.
I think Atlanta would be a fun place to live. From what I have heard, there are many places to go and many things to see in Atlanta. I have heard that the music industry is big down there, especially for Rap/Hip-Hop which I love. Artists like T.I., Young Jeezy, and Rick Ross all at some time signed with B.M.F. Entertainment, which is based in Atlanta. A concert down there would be crazy and I would love to go for a visit. The only downside to Atlanta is that it is hot; but I can get over it.
I think it is interesting that no matter who you ask, that person will always think their sport is the hardest. For example: if you ask a tennis player what sport they think is hardest, they will tell you tennis. Same thing goea for other sports. I am pretty sure that it is because everyone works hard at their athletic activity and wants others to appretiate it.
Next year, I am going to a small school in Ohio called Mount Union. It is located in Alliance, OH and their mascot is the Raiders. I can't wait until I can graduate to leave this high school and move on to college. I won't know anyone when I go there but that's ok because I want to meet new people that I have never met before. About four months left and I go from senior to freshman.
So, this is pretty cool. I guess Friday's aren't my day, even though Rebecca Black might think that it is. Can't always get down on Friday, or have fun. So, today I've gotten in trouble TWICE already, both within 5 minutes of each other. First trouble I got in was because I signed Ms. Hufnagel up for one of those Meso books, you know, from the commercial? I didn't even send it to her, but she did get an e-mail. Apparently that didn't fly too well with her, so I'm getting a referral and probably losing my computer priveleges. Getting these blogs done while I still can, though. :)
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the SECOND thing that I got in trouble for. Basically, after getting in trouble for the first thing, I left the library to tell my friend, and also get the web address for the blogging site (forgot it). Well, that didn't fly so well with his teacher and I basically got kicked out. Yeah, today hasn't been my day. Hopefully this afternoon/tonight will redeem it. I could really use a good pick me up, lol.
Tennis tryouts started yesterday, and i am so happy to be back playing. I hadn't even realized how much i missed playing until now. I am not really good at tennis, but i love it, and i have been playing all through high school. I have been on JV every year, and hopefully, if i have improved enough, i will move up to varsity. But i wont be too devastated if i don't because i am not a big fan of the Varsity coach, and the Varsity practice would be at a terrible time. Also, if i made varsity, i would probably be placed in low doubles or exhibitions, since all of the varsity girls are incredible. So JV is looking like the better option for me at this point, but i guess i will have to wait to make my decision until i find out if i even made varsity this year.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like spring is finally here!! I am so happy that it is finally warming up!!! Today it is 68 degrees outside, and spring sports are starting up; perfect timing. I drove home from school with my windows down and my country music really loud in a t-shirt. Maybe i took it too far, but it was amazing. I just really reallyyy hate winter,and i have been waiting for this weather for so long, so now that its finally here, i am definitely going to take advantage, because who knows, it might snow next week. It wouldn't shock me. So i am just going to soak up the sun and warmth while it is here.And it's perfect because tennis is just starting, and it is the best tennis weather right now;warm with a nice breeze to keep us cool with out us freezing to death like last year. This is the best part of the year, for sure.
ReplyDeletein all reality when yous see me you only see a body. thats because when i have headphones in my ears im not atchualy there. im in the alternate reality composed of memories and fantasys and places that i have created by my self. an existance that is better. where i feel safe. free. the power of music i sgreater than anything ever concived because it is precived not felt nor to be given. its my happy place. its my shadow. the shadow is my place to hide. the shadow is warm inside. it my place to hide
ReplyDeletedork rant
ReplyDeletei have way to much time on my hands nad i occupy my self through video games. lately ive been geting sick of mw2 bullshit so i sought out after one of my other games. that game would be grand theft auto 4. an expliciptably violent and horific game in which it teaches you streen smarts like dont shoot at the cops if you dont want them to shoot back or dont mess with that black guy, he has a gun. just stuff like that. now in my case im EXTREAMLY EASILY AMUSED. almost to a fault. so what do i do in this game? well lets just put it this way. i laugh my ass off while i drive on the side walk screaming double points every time i hit a black person. racest? maby. wrong? yes. video game? yes. compleatly fake? that why i do it...duh.
i dont know what to do with my life. yesterday my dad yelled at me when i boiled the tea and told me taht i needed to get a job. i need to get drivers training out of the way first. my dad did buy me a car after all. somthings wrong with the starter and thats it. my only fear is if anyone will hire me. i dont exactly have the best background and thats what worries me. i hope i can get settled.
ReplyDeleteone of my friends that i talk to online every day when he dosent work is always buying new games and being able to afford the things he wants. it makes me realy jealious. he lives in chiago so maby they have a different job market. i duno i just wish i shared the same situation as him. ive realy fucked my life up at a young age and i ahte myself for it. it was a mistake yah but what they did to me was criminal in the same digree. its goten tothe point to where i fear others. so i hide inside my head
ReplyDeleteim so sick of everything. nothings different. you go to school and do the same things. i feel that there is so much else that this world has to offer. even breaking away from society and living in some remote area for a year. just somthing different. tahts all i want. daily life tends to have its pattern that is so obvious to all of us and i wonder what it would take to change that. or if changeing it would just set the same thing but in a different palce
ReplyDeleteWell I think I'm going to blog. Let's talk about how fast this year is going by fast.. Too fast! Everyone wants this year to fly by and want to get out of here. They are crazy. Yeah, im excited to leave but then again I'm going to miss high school. Seeing my friends everyday and especially seeing my family everyday. I'll miss that the most. Living on my own. That is scary for sure. So Senior Year, slow down please.
ReplyDeleteive realizxed that whenever i do the things i want im just wasteing time. normaly i just play my xbox when i could be spending time with family. yesterday i didnt even talk to my dad bc i was in my room the whole day. lame right. i need a job
ReplyDeleteChoir festival was so much fun yesterday! I never expected it to be that much fun. We watched groups perform. Some people got hurt so they couldn't sing. We ended up going for comments instead of ratings because we had so many missing people. I ended up waiting for the IA choir members until 5 minutes before we had to preform because I had to warm up also then they walked in a minute later after I was waiting outside for them for like 10 minutes. We were singing to the radio the entire time there and back. I forgot why I loved choir field trips, that makes me even sadder because that was my last one unless we can convince her to let us have a choir lock-in so the 2 choirs can get along better.
ReplyDeleteSo I was cleaning up my desk area today by my computer today and I came across some nice tape. I remember getting this tape from Mr. Brugger's leadership class in 8th grade. This was a great class because I learned how to be an eleven. This meant basically going above and beyond what everyone else did. I really miss that class because it had some really cool people in it. Back to the tape. This is some premium scotch tap with a disposable casing. I have used this on numerous occasions when hanging things up around my room. Speaking of my room, I have just moved some things around so it looks different and I have much more for activities.
ReplyDeleteI'm chowing on some delicious BBQ sunflower seeds at the moment. I haven't had these since last week and I was really starting to miss them. I generally lean towards the DAVID brand because they always deliver on taste. The bag I have has lasted me for quite a while as well. I purchase a medium size bag from the Meijer gas station and it was only 1.39. Boy this was a good buy because I can't get away from these things. I am also a fan of the original sunflower seed. It is just a plain salted seed rather than flavored. Another kind that I enjoy masticating are Jalepeno. These, you would think are hot, are actually quite mild. You should really try sunflower seeds because I bet you'd like them.
ReplyDeleteSo one of the muscles in my leg is in a great deal of pain because of soccer this weekend. We played two extremely dirty teams and our team got banged up. I won a ball out of the air against this kid but I fell down after. Seeing me on the ground, a kid ran over to me and stomped on my leg with metal cleats. I mean I said a few choice words to the kid, but the best part was going up to him after the game and saying good game to him when we won. He got all angry and it was quite funny. Nonetheless, my calf is still killing me. I had a good time this weekend because my entire team minus a few people went to B dubs to watch some games and eat. We all had a good time together and it was really the only time in the past few years that we all got together as a team. We came away with two wins so it was a great weekend despite the freezing cold weather.
ReplyDeleteSo I was listening to music today in class when I was done with my work. I was listening to a song that kept using the phrase "purple sprite". I decided to ask some of my peers what this meant when I already could deduce what it meant. However, the feedback I received wasn't all that awesome. I mean I knew it was a drink so a lot of people should know that. When I asked, people began to laugh at me because I didn't know what it meant. All of the kids in that class know that I'm not one for partaking in consumption of alcohol so they just laughed and told me what it was. However, I did find that many of them didn't know what it was but tried to play it off all cool in front of me. I really find this and the fact that so many people drink funny. I have tried it, don't get me wrong but I am no where near any of the people who drink in our school and I find it kind of pathetic people that people need alcohol as a way out or as a gateway to having fun. I don't judge people on this but this is what I feel.
ReplyDeleteSpring Break is coming up real soon so I probably should blog about it before it's over. Now I have no money and I don't expect my parents to pay for it because they do so many other things for me. So, for spring break, I will be at home having a good old time in Michigan. I'll have a few gaming sessions with Matt and hang out with my family and play soccer. I always find something to do so I'm really not worried about being bored. Another thing I am looking forward to regarding spring break is the sleep I will be catching up on. I have been so tired over the past few weeks and it's time to catch up on my z's. I know I'm going to have a good time so I shouldn't have to pay money to have fun somewhere else when I know I can have fun here. The weather won't be all that bad so that's another positive.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor's house was foreclosed on so it looks like a piece of junk. However, the house is starting to look much better because some dude just purchased it from the bank. The current project he is taking on is putting a new roof on top of the house. It looks much better already despite the fact that it couldn't look much worse. The roof looked like anything could get through it, so that wasn't too good. But now that there is a new owner, the house has hope. It is a beautiful victorian type house with a nice yard. I believe it had a pool but then they ripped down the pool after the foreclosure. The man who lived there was a very nice guy but he was lazy. He never wanted to do anything but now it seems like the new man likes to get things done. I'm sure I'll see the new guy when I take my dogs around the block. Hopefully the house gets fixed up and the man has a nice family.
ReplyDeleteShredding paper is actually a very useful activity. It protects you from identity theft, people knowing your address, as well as a person who likes stealing mail. Shredding paper, as daunting of a task it may be, is needed in today's society. I usually take the liberty of shredding paper without being asked because I like to do it. Now, I will say there is a big negative side to doing this. I don' reccomend doing this early in the morning or at like 11 PM at night because it can be very disturbing depending on the amount of paper you are shredding. I try to keep in the late morning to early afternoon time frame because no one cares at that time. It is quite an annoying device because it is a constant humming that doesn't stop until you stop feeding it paper. However, an alternative to disgarding of your paper would be to burn it. This isn't the best for the environment so that probably shouldn't be done. But, if worse comes to worse... burn it!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get out of High School. Everyone in it is so arrogant and superficial it seems. Not only that, but i feel i've spent the past 12 years of my education, for the most part, learning things i will never use again. No one taught me how to start a checking account, or how to properly use a map or things that are actually applicable to life for that matter.
ReplyDeleteSpring break is only a short ways away!! Although im not going anywhere that's warm, i feel i am spending my time with a true friend, without any drama. My parents said that since my trip is so heap, that they will give me the money to spend on what i really enjoy: clothes. I just hope that everything works out as planned and that i have a fun time even though i am not drinking myself to stupidity and laying in the sun
ReplyDeleteI had a fight with a friend just a short while ago. However, as weird as it sounds, it's bugging me that i don't really seem to mind it. She's a great girl and a good friend, but i feel that i have lost interest in those who i feel i will not keep in touch with after high school. On one hand it's good that im able to get over this rather quickly. But on the other hand, it's slightly concerning that i honest to god could not care any less about being friends with that person, where as before i would have been upset at a fight.
ReplyDeleteI went shopping for dorm room stuff today. I think it's finally settled in that im going to college. It seems like only yesterday i was envying my sister as she gained her freedom and went to college. But now as i see my sister exit college, i get concerned as i think about all the stuff and responsibilities i will have.. i don't know how to open a checking account, or pay my bills or even have a stable job. It's a lot to think about all at once
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why im stressed, but i am. Maybe it's from not knowing wether i got into the University of Michigan or not. Or maybe it's from the anticipation of how my life will be up at college, wether i'll be home sick or really stressed. I stress out easily, and i think way to far ahead in the future, but i can't help it and i really don't know how to stop it! On top of everything, i have my AP tests coming up, which im not all that excited for, since i heard both of them are pretty difficult
ReplyDeleteI woke up this morning with my face all broken out in like hives! I was mortified because i took acutane for soo long, which means this should NOT be happening with all the stuff i went through. For those of you who are considering taking it, i have one thing to tell you : Don't.
ReplyDeleteMy lips would peel off in layers and bleed for hours, and my nails and toenails would break in half with a single tap. For many of my friends it also caused severe depression, although i never experienced that.
geting super streesed for absolutely no reason. i even do wied things like hold by breath when im concentrating or strain my neck. it sucks. i used to have anxiety attacks. man those things sucked. you would just get this feeling like you were helpless and if you look at it in ways you are.
ReplyDeleteSPRING BREAK STARTS TOMORROW!! o my goodness i can't even wait. i am suffering from some hardcore senioritis and i am going crazy. this break is so needed i can't even explain. I'm not even going anywhere. i am just so excited to not be at school. for a whole week!I plan on hanging out with all of the people who aren't going anywhere either. and i kind of want to go on a road trip, you know, be spontaneous and live it up. i mean, its senior year spring break. what have i got to loose! i feel like once i get back from spring break i am going to want to do absloutely nothing to do with school, which is pretty much already true. So its gonna be a downhill slope after break...
ReplyDeleteSo I leave for Chicago tomorrow hopefully I'll be able to write about it while I'm there. It sucks that I'm going to be sick while we are there because chances are it won't go away over night oh well. It's going to be an awesome spring break.
ReplyDelete#1
ReplyDeleteSo, its SB11 and everyone is gone. The weather is disgusting and its snowing. But that's alright because it gives me more time to pack and do laundry. I am supposed to be packing right now and I don't know what to bring. I am bringing 10 swimsuits and so many clothes. I am leaving for MEXICO in less than 56 hours. Words can describe how pumped I am for this trip. This is my 16th time to Mexico but I think this will be the most fun. Its senior spring break and I don't even know what to do because I am that excited. While everyone is in school, I will still be in Mexico. I am just so pumped for this trip and meeting random people down there. Plus, my friends from Arizona are going and I haven't seen them in a year. This SB11 is going to be SO amazing!

ReplyDeleteIts nearing the end of senior year and it has gone by so fast. It just seems like I was excited to start my senior year. I can't believe its already April, and now all the major events are coming up. SB11, prom, SANP, and graduation and then the summer before college. I have no idea where all the time went by. Yes, I am so excited for high school to be over and to start college. But its going to be weird not seeing people that I have grown up with. Although, I am SO excited to meet new people and move on with my life. These next two months are going to be the most fun during high school. I am so excited for all that is to come and to just have fun. And not to mention the weather is going to be getting warmer and that just puts me in a great mood!

ReplyDeleteLately, I have been listening to alot of reggae music opposed to the normal 955,98.7,102.7 and 97.9 type music. I really like the band Citizen Cope, they are my favorite at the moment. I downloaded a bunch of their music to listen to on the beach. My favorite song of theirs is Pablo Picasso.

ReplyDeleteI only drink bottled water and I wont reuse a water bottle because I think its disgusting. I drink alot of water like at least 12 water bottles a day. My favorite kind of water is Fiji water and I buy it everyday from CVS and its sorta expensive. But that's okay because I think it tastes delicious. I will never drink out of a school drinking fountain again because I find it to be dirty. Another brand of water I like is Smart Water, I get that about twice a week. I always get the 50.7 fl oz of Smart Water because I get really thirsty. The last water brand I like is Kirkland, that's what we have at my house. We have at least 10 cases of it at all times. I never reuses them thought because of all the bacteria that has formed. I make sure I recycle all of the water bottles I used because its a habit. If I throw away a water bottle without recycling it I legit feel bad.
So I got back from Chicago Friday morning at 1:30 am. I've been relaxing for the past few days. I ended up going to the John Hancock building, the field museum, different restaurants for lunch and dinner, the water place mall, and a whole bunch of shops. I got 3 new shirts a new pair of pants and a new necklace and earing.
ReplyDeleteI went to see Rango and Hanna last night, neither were my favorites. Rango was good it just felt like there was something missing I have no idea what though. Hanna it was a lot worse than I expected. The ad made it look so good but it wasn't it was lacking a plot and disorienting. I was so confused I was like what just happened it kept jumping all over the place. Nobody in my family liked it as much as they thought they would. The next movie I want to see is soul surfer it looks so cute well not really cute just inspirational and it's even better that it's a true story.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I went to Go for the Gold at Oakland University I'm going to be going there. The campus is so beautiful. My dad was joking around with my friends mom because she was going to be staying at her grandma's house. My dad asked joking around if her grandma happened to have another room her grandma could rent me she said that she did. She just has to ask, I may have a room and be able to ride my bike to college compared to a 50 minute drive from where I currently live. That would be awesome if it works out. I haven't even started driving yet so it will be hard for me if it doesn't work out.
ReplyDeleteI also got a free shirt, my friend and I are planning to wear them tomorrow and have our own twin day. Then we decided it would be our own spirit day.
I am so stressed out with this last semester. Although i have mainly all A's i always have a really hard time with math. Judging on how i do on tests typically im concerned i wont even pass the course!! I have no idea what to do, and no matter how hard i study, i just cant seem to get above a D on my math tests. Dont even get me started on the final... Are we allowed to fail a term?
ReplyDeletespring break sucked. i was stuck home aloe for 3 days by my self while my dad went to toledo and then to his girlfriends house. i dont know. i dont hang out with alot of people outside school, my choice. besides most of them work. so i got bored of my xbox and then the computer and we all know there aint shit on the tv to watch. bunch of damn reality shows that showcase low self-esteam. what ever. out
ReplyDeletethe only good thing about my break was a dream that i had. it will always be my favorite dream too. it was in full color and i was partialy in controol of it to. it started of with these 2 small dragons, kid kinda dragons. none of that scary shit. well i could tell they were looking for somthing. i wasnt in the pitcher yet though. eventualy they make it to my open house and its night but the wierd....
ReplyDelete...thing was that i was the only one who could see these 2 dragons.they spoke english too so it made it even more awsome. it was a bit lik how to train a dragon except we werent all crazy vikings and people just thought you were crzy. well i would get food for them as they stayed in this old house/treefort on my property. they eventualy leave and i say come back some time soon and they said they would. god i hope i have that epic dream again.
ReplyDeleteive already established that my break sucked. although i did get back into pokemon. its what i do when i get realy bored. the show used to be gay but when it first started off it was amazing and i think there trying to get it back to its roots. i mean every one loved the origional pokemon. it was even huge in high school. i dont know i just think pokemon is the shit. if i could ever live in an alternate reality for the rest of my life i would live in pokemon. i would get my journey on for sure
ReplyDeleteI think i made a big mistake. I have this boyfriend, and i love him more than anything. However, he does not have a green card because he is from lebanon. Just recently he had a court date and was denied for asylum. Out of pure anger and frustration and i made the remark " I'll marry you, maybe then you can finally get your damn green card! Well now he thinks i was completely serious
ReplyDeletei wish i could think of humans as selfless beings who wish to protect this world but instead we trash this planet and treat wild animals like they belong to us taking there habitat and killing them sometimes for no reason. it just adds up to all these pointless deaths. we are capable of so much compassion but we never show it. we only think for our selfs and if somthing gets in are way we strive to move it out of our way. in all reality we almost like the the enimy. we are a selfish being. i wonder what life would be like if we were like animals. if we werent capable of the things we are today. we dont need cars we just chose to use them because we are lazy. we could build are houses and they could coexist with nature, thats still only somthing ive only seen in fantasys. humans and nature coexisting as one in every possible way. does this earth need humans. hey maby the apoclips pretains only to humans, it mentions nothing about animals. maby he knew we would fuck up and that we definately did...
ReplyDeletethese computers realy do suck when it comes to speed. it took me what? 5 minutes to get to this page. it makes me wonder how long its going to take to post this comment; not that i realy care. its friday but it doesnt feel like it. this weekend is going to be realy buissy. i have a paper to type no thank you and a work sheet from senior english due on monday. and its my first 2 hours so its not like i can blow it off and cheat off some one. it doesnt realy work that way.
ReplyDeleteI was going into first grade and playing on the playground. I was swinging on the swing set because that was my favorite thing to do. My friend came over and started swinging too. y friend then told me to let go of the swing and see if I could keep swinging. I didn't at first, but then she double dog dared me to, so of course you have to do it if she double dog dares you. So, I let go of the swing and I flipped backwards and landed on my stomach and arm. I hurt pretty bad and I was holding my arm the rest of the day. Later, we found out that my arm was broken. This is the only time I have ever broken a bone.
ReplyDeleteMy grandpa. My grandpa was my inspiration. He did what he loved and always tried his best. He was also the only grandparent that was really there for me. I remember playing games with him, reading to me, helping me with homework, and so much more. I remember him telling me I was his favorite granddaughter, even though I was his only granddaughter. Unfortunatly, he passes away about a year and a half ago. I miss him very much and he was always there for me.
ReplyDeleteAngel. Angel was my old dog that I had when I was little. I remember when I was about 4 years old, I went to put my hand on our dog to get up on the couch. Our dog was very old at the time and whenever you would touch her, it would hurt her. So, of course me putting my hand on her back, hurt her and she reached up and bit me in the cheek. I still have a little scar from her and even though she bit me that one time, she was a very good dog.
ReplyDeleteSpring break was really fun. I stayed home in Michigan and spent time with my boyfriend. We went out to eat at different places. We also went to Dave and Busters and played a bunch of arcade games. It was really fun and I won the bonus on one of the games and got 500 tickets. It was also a nice break off of school, since I have been piled up with a bunch of homework.
ReplyDeleteHow poms was originated. A girl one time was mopping the floor and the handle broke off, so she picked up the mop and started waving it in the air because she was mad, but people thought that she was dancing with the mop, so they named the new sport poms because pom is mop backwards.
ReplyDeleteThe elmo story. I never like elmo so much before, but now he really scared me. One time My boyfriend and I were sitting in a computer room and typing on the computer. We were in the room for a while and then all the sudden, this little elmo doll sitting in the corner of the room lifted his arm and said "come here my little pigs." I though this was scary because it started moving on it's own, but it also knew somehow that I was afraid of pigs. So we shut this cabnet door on him a little bit and then elmo said "I can't move" because the door was blocking him. So me and my boyfriend looked at each other and said let get out of here. We started to leave and the elmo doll said "bye bye." This really freaked us out, so Scott went to go pick elmo up by the a little spot of fur on it's back and the doll said "your so strong." After that we threw elmo in the closet and left. We could hear from the other room the elmo doll saying "see you later." It was really scary how the doll knew what we were doing and saying. I am now afraid of elmo.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, about 5 years old. My mom sat down with me and my borther and said that she was adoped. I didn't understand this and when I was little I thought that, she meant that other people came and took my mom away from her mom. So this scared me very much because I thought people would take me away from my mom. I now know that, that is not the case. My mom was adopted because her mom couldn't take care of her, she was only 14 when she had her. She my mom was taken into this family. She had parents, two brothers, and a sister. One of the other brothers was also adpoted from another family. Even though they are my family, I still wonder, who my actual grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are.
ReplyDeleteI work at Bounce Gymnastics. It is a great place to work because I love kids and gymnastics. I work pretty much every single day. I have about 3 or 4 classes a day. I teach girls beginning level to advance levels. It's really great teaching kids and seeing them learn new skills. I work with kids anywhere from 4 years old to about 13 years old. Every age group I love, but if I had to pick an age group I like the best, I would pick about 7-9 years old. They are just old enough to comprehend and understand things and what your teaching, but they aren't old enough were they don't listen or give you attitude. Every class and every person is different and it's great to see the different personalities and people in all my classes. I really enjoy being a gymnastics coach.
ReplyDeleteThe dentist. Most people don't like the dentist or don't have a preference, but I really don't like the dentist. I don't like people poking at my teeth, scraping my teeth, sitting in the uncomfortable chair, I even don't like the smell of the dentist. Even though I don't like the dentist very much, I know it's important to get your teeth checked and cleaned.
ReplyDeleteAbout 30 more school days left! It's the end of spring break and Easter is coming up. After Easter, May will be quickly approaching. We are almost done and I really can't wait. Even though I will miss Lakeland and everyone at Lakeland, I will still be excited to move on to the next part in my life and graduate. I feel like it's the end of the year coming up, but there are so many things coming up. We have finals in some classes, AP exams, homework, project, getting ready for prom and graduation, work, and so much more. It seems all overwhelming, but I so can't wait for school to be done.
ReplyDeletei had a realy fun weekend. my dads girl friend invited us out to her house for the weekend. i met her daughter and her boy friend. hes a blast. we played laser tag which i havent done in 10 years. we also went out to eat and then to sonic for icecream. then we went back to my place. itv was alot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Mr. Kehoe's BMT 1 class right now so I figured I'd blog. There are only two seniors in this class and it really shows. Me and this other senior are so far ahead of the class, it's incredible. We really don't have to even do anything but it's the type of people we are. I find working computer programs is a very simple task. With this class there is literally a step by step walk through of everything that you have to do. The one thing that I dislike about this class is the lack of maturity. People in here are so freaking annoying that I need music constantly. These two girls who act clueless always ask for my help and I always help because I feel obligated to. I find them quite dumb when I know that they could be smart but they really don't try. The one big positive to this class is the fact that I don't have to take a final. Mr. Kehoe is a really chill guy who understands that we are seniors so he is giving us a nice break.
ReplyDeletemy phone is retarded. last hour it kept buzzing in my pocket and i soon discoverd that it was going haywire. it was changing the clock format and moving the clock around repidately. then it went into charging mode when it wasnt even pluged into any thing. it was also doing funny things with my contacts, yah every phone ive ever had has always given me shit
ReplyDeletecan someone please explain to me why the people in dubie get there gas for 0.09$ a gallon? it is a preaty amaning city though. my dad was telling me yesterday that they have a building that alters itself acording to the direction of the wind so its never the same. there rich off there ass
ReplyDeleteI have never played the Sims before but I am basically playing a version of it at the moment. I am in personal finance right now and we are learning how to handle our money and finances in the real world. We are playing a very realistic, yet fun, game. I am actually learning more than I thought I would. I made a guy named Lamichael who is a cashier at a pizza place. He owns a nice apartment and gets his fair share of exercise. I wasn't here on Friday so many of my classmates are ahead of me and they know what to do. I am just getting my feet wet as they would say. I think I will get the hang of it but it'll take longer than others because they have the experience on me. On Friday I was absent due to the blood drive. I have to help out with the Blood Drive as a requirement for NHS. I was the pass runner so I saw many of my teachers and classmates. I had a good time but it really is boring. I had to get up at 5:00 AM as well which is never a good thing.
ReplyDeleteFor my final blog of the term I will talk about the folder that I made. This folder is actually for your class but it is covered in gum wrappers. I have a very beautiful design on this folder. I started off with a nice criss cross pattern aftered I finished the checker board theme. I think this really adds to the effect of the folder because it makes it stand out. After I finished with criss cross pattern, I decided to get into the bulls eye idea. I knew this would really help it stand out because no one has ever seen this before on a folder. This took me much longer to do because it required circles which meant I had to cut circles into the gum wrappers. Although this was a very difficult project, I am very pleased with the final result. It catches many eyes and I get a lot of applause from it. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeletein a home where tensions are tight and conflict is hot there lives an 18 year old boy who perodicly watches his life fall down before him. somthing hes seen before. somthing hes used to so he hides. he hides infront of a screen where he thinks its safe and only when he does feel safe does reality creep back to get him. in a home where its only you and the rest is broken up to your mom and step dad, your real dad, your sisters, and you. go see life is fucked up...
ReplyDeletetheres this kid in chiago that ive never met but talk to every day. his name i josh. i dont know his last name but that doesnt realy matter. i would love to meet this kid i person. hes my age and i talk to him every day over xbox live. i met him playing modern warfare 2. we were boosting partners and after that i became friends with all his other friends. redilin pie (red), melinumslodier (josh) chi town, xugtapout (austin) lives in windsor, ninjasorisrex (jimmy) chi town. vigto (richie) chi town, that guy06 (brandon). jimmy, josh, and richie all go to school together but brandon has know josh for a long time. i talk to all these guys almost evert day except for josh. he works tuesday and thursday but other than that i talk to him alot.
ReplyDeletelatelt my friend josh has been bugging me to get saints row 2 which is an online co-op game that we could play together. weve played almost every other co-op game that i have together. since he has a job he can aford to buy all these games. now i dont have a job so it makes it dificult for me to buy this game. theres probably a few games that i could sell though. i dont play any of the F.E.A.R games that i own. thats 3 games right there and i dont play new vegas or fabel 2 any more. vegas was shit, it was way to glitchty and it would make my councel crash which probably wasnt very good for it. well hopefuly my dad will help me with it.
ReplyDeleteEaster isn't a very popular holiday, but its still a nice one. I'm not religious, but I still like to celebrate holidays because it's a nice time to get together with the friends and family. When we were little, my parents would fill those plastic eggs with candy, and sometimes quarters, and hide them around the house. One year they hid half of them outside for my brother. I didnt want mine outside because it was rainy and gross. In 7th grade I was at my aunts house in California for Easter. I've been there for Easter when I was little too, but this time my cousin was there for it also. For Easter, there were Eggs hidden everywhere in their backyard. That was pretty fun. And I didnt mind not being home, my family had lamb. Gross.
ReplyDeleteSunny mornings are so nice. They make me happy because theyre very refreshing. They almost feel magical. Im a morning person, not so much a night person. I can stay up late, but I can never sleep in. The latest Ive ever slept in till was 11, but that only happened once or twice. Mornings are like a new start, a new beginning. A fresh day to do new things. It's kinda like you can just start over, a clean slate maybe.
ReplyDeleteFluffy bread, a little bit of sauce, a layer of cheese, and pieces of pineapple. Thats the kind of pizza that I like to eat. I like it when theres ham on it too, but there needs to be pineapple on it! I'm not much of a fan of plain meat on the pizza though. I dont like pepporoni, I always pick it off. But in any case, pizza is good. We grew up thinking it was italian, but I recently heard that its not. Italian, I think, is my favorite dish. So I think pizza could count as italian sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI have to make my graduation party invites. I dont really want to, but it's something that has to get done. Im turning into a pretty bad procrastinator. I used to be alright at getting stuff done early and on time, but lately I've just been so lazy. It's getting harder to do homework and stuff. I mean I do all that stuff anyway, but it's like the only motivation I have to do it is stress. I'll wait until the last minute, not wanting to do it and not caring if it gets done, but then do it when theres no time left because I should do it. I dont really care about grades anymore, but then again, I still do. Im just sick of school, I cant wait to leave. It's sort of like a stale relationship. Youre just sick and tired of it, you dont care what happens, you just want to be done with it. That's how I feel toward Lakeland.
ReplyDeleteI feel so angry. Im not exactly sure why, and it's just weird. I'm never mad, it almost never happens. I think I'm mad at my mom though, which also never happens. Whenever I get mad, it's only at my brother or dad. Thats one reason why I cant wait to go to college, to get away from them. I cant stand my dad. I know hate is a strong word, but thats the only thing I feel toward him. As for my brother, it's on and off. I don't like him, but he can be a friend sometimes. My mom, though, she's always there for me. But today, she's just been getting on my nerves. She's had a negative attitude the whole time she's been home, and so I got mad at her, and now she's trying to act like she wasnt. How frustrating.
ReplyDeleteWe havent had a bonfire in a long time. In fact, I dont even remember the last time I was at one. I want to have one soon. I have this huge bundle of notes that I have from over the years that I want to burn. I stuck it in the pit, but I think my dog got a hold of it. If she did, then theyre long gone now. We used to have a bunch of bricks piled up in a square or circle shaped thing, around a fire. I would make tiny oven-type spaces and pretend to cook things with it when I was little. I would get so scared when embers would fly out of it though, cause I was afraid of getting burned.
ReplyDeleteday ??? in my boring ass life. stuck in school but probably for the best. i have no job and theres not alot of friends taht i hang out with. thats by choice. ive always only kept like 3 close friends and the rest are just school friends. most of them are bissy this week but ill try to hang wiht my friend kurtis this weekend. who knows. only time will tell and i have a ton of that as far as i know.
ReplyDeleteokay... aparently my teacher wont let me watch cnn any more when i dont have any thing to do. its kinda stupid though. its the day after easter and he thinks i have work to do. its study skills that im in right now. this class is awsome when i do have work though. i never have homework.
ReplyDeleteso the school year is almost over. everything that has happened over the past year will be the most memeorable of all my school years. i remember not being able to wait till school would be over, but now im wishin it wouldnt end. knowing when its over, your either working or going to college, and some people will be moving away, or going to the army. some people you might not ever see again. friends will be the most memorable thing from highschool
ReplyDeletesome of my favorite songs are ones played just on acoustic guitar. i dont know why but its just better sounding to me. it doesnt have all the bass and symbols from drums and thats when u can tell if the singer has really good talent becuase its not covered by the sounds of drums and guitar.
ReplyDeletei really dont like the fact that gas has to cost more in a week than food. it really limits the things i can do and how often i can hang with friends. some poeple with v8 engines prolly have to spend almost a whole paycheck just to fill their tank to go to work. thats rediculous and needs to be taken more seriously by our government before gas prices get so high we cant afford it.
ReplyDeleteI recently just got a new job! In December, I applied for a job at Lifetime fitness in Commerce Township, working in the kid’s activities center. Then a week before spring break, I got a call saying that would like me to come in for an interview. I went through two interviews and just last Friday they called me saying that I got the job! I am very excited! Since I am staying at home, it will be nice to be working through college. I have also been working for my dad for about 3 years now, every Saturday. When I work for him, I pay bills, help customers, clean, organize, and doing pretty much everything that he tells me to do. One of the advantages of working for my dad is that I get paid under the table, meaning cash. So when I start working at Lifetime fitness, this will be a new experience for me because I have never had a job like that before.
ReplyDeleteClothes. I absolutely love clothes. Sometimes I really feel like I have an addiction to buying clothes. Fortunately, it’s not an insane addiction where I’m at the mall every weekend spending all the money in my savings account and wallet. It’s just whenever I am at the mall and I find a shirt that I really like, I have to have it. In addition to that, I always feel like I have no clothes and that I have nothing to wear. It’s very frustrating! Every morning I wake up and look in my closet and nothing catches my eye. Growing up with a mom who loves clothes, shoes, purses, and make up, I am surprised that I don’t have a serious addiction. On a good note, I don’t care for purses at all, or shoes and I only buy cheap make up from Target. When it comes down to clothes, I’m a goner. I love the feeling of where you just bought a new super cute outfit and you simply can’t wait to show it off! After the weekends, I love wearing all my new clothes to school and getting compliments on them. Plus, I also feel more confident in myself when I wear clothes that I absolutely love.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I can’t wait to be done with school and to start college the thought is very scary. However, it does help a lot that I am not going away. Over spring break, I finally decided that I will be attending Madonna University next year. My mom went here and when I visited it, it was really pretty. The reason why I decided to stay at home simply is because I really don’t feel like I am ready to be away from home. I am most definitely a mama and daddy’s girl. Since I am so close to both of my parents I can’t even imagine being away from them, but I will get there eventually. I will be attending Madonna for one and maybe two years, then I want to transfer to Michigan State. Even though it’s a scary thought to be finishing up high school and I am really looking forward to a new change and starting over. After everything that has happened to me this year, I feel change is needed for me.
ReplyDeleteOne of the great things about being a senior is attending prom! I am so excited for it! I already got bought my dress. It’s from a small store in Milford called, Uptown Threads. This lady sells one of a kind dresses here. Another great thing is that, once you buy the dress that you like she won’t let anyone else from your school buy that same dress. It’s a pretty much guarantee that no one will have your dress. Anyways, my dress is orange but it has a lot of other colors in it as well. It has blue, green, purple, and yellow. It doesn’t sound like a very good mixture of colors, but it is very pretty. Also, it has sequence and beads along the straps of the shoulder going all the way down to the dip of the dress in the back. Whenever I put it on I literally can’t stop smiling and I never want to take it off! Now that I have my dress, shoes, accessories, and a date, I just need June 2nd to get here soon enough so I got put everything together!
ReplyDeleteFor spring break this year, one of my best friend’s and I went on an Eastern Caribbean Cruise. It was so much fun! This was the fourth cruise I have ever been on and I feel they are a great way for people to travel. The ship is so large there is always so much to do. However, since my friend and I are only 17, there wasn’t much to do for people our age. There was this club, where there was dancing and meeting of different people, but we only went to it once. The majority of the kids there were 15. Anyways, this cruise was amazing. We went to this insane water park in the Bahamas, went snorkeling, and then got to play with sting rays! I really wish I was still on this trip. The best part about being on a cruise is that you have no connection to anyone back home. It was so relaxing and so less stressful not having to worry about texting or any drama. I got to enjoy my vacation in peace and quiet. Another reason why I love cruise’s is because no one knows your or watched you grow up through your awkward stage. Everyone is just looking to have a great time! :)
ReplyDeleteEating disorders are something that 1 out of every 100 girls face. Having an eating disorder is a mental illness in which you don’t see what is really there. One of my best friends actually had an eating disorder for over a year. She would tell me that when she felt like she couldn’t control the events of what’s happening in her life, she would make herself sick because she didn’t know what else to do. She was already tiny to begin with, but with her doing this to herself she was down to 80 pounds at one point. Just looking at her you could tell she was sick. Eventually, she told her mom and got some help and gained some weight back and was doing great. However, every once in awhile she would have a moment of weakness and instability and would relapse. Just recently, she was telling me how she was doing it again. So one of our other friends and I called her mom to let her know. We felt it was the right thing to do because we didn’t want her hurting herself even more than she already has.
ReplyDeleteI recently just made a final decision to where i want to go to coolege. It was a hard decision between Kettering University and Michiagn State. I am going to college for engineering and kettering is very strong in Engineering. However, Michigan State is also very strong but it has an added bonus of name recognition and much more alumni. I decided to go to Michigan State. i think it will be a lot of fun and will be something I will never forget. Their programs are great and the college life there seems so much fun. I hope it is wirth the 23,000 a year, but i'm sure it will be worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteToday is Tuesday and that means I have a track meet today. However, it is supposed to storm so I'm not sure if the meet will still be on or not. We will just have to see. In track, i dont do any of the runnign events; instead i am a thrower. I throw Shot-put and Discus. I like to do these things because practice is more strength training than endurance. I like that type of working out. I dont like runnign as much but I like lifting weight and such. Overall, track so far has been pretty fun. Its hard to beleive we have had 2 meets alraedy. Today is supposed to be our third. it is kind of funny that shot-put and discus came about as ancient weapons. Historically, a shot-put is nothing more than a cannon ball, and a discus is an ancient bladed weapon that you threw. Obviosly there are no blades on this type of discus, but it is in the same shape, weight and is thrown the same.
ReplyDeleteWith the golf season underway i can finally say i am excited for the season. At first i felt myself dragging my feet but i have come to realize it was most likey just the weather. In our first 3 weeks of practice, its been nothing but rainy and cold. As much as i do have much love for the game, i didnt feel as motivated to stand out in the cold for 2 hours straight. Though it was cold for that period, i am happy to say that today we were finally blessed with some good weather. With the sun out and me being able to put on a short sleeve shirt, i felt much more motivated to play the game. We had the opportunitry to go out and play 9 holes today and am glad to see that im hitting the ball the way i know i am capable of. Looking into the season i am very excited and hope to play my best and put fourth my share of good rounds and hopefully achieve back to back seasons of being undefeated.
ReplyDeleteCurrently as many know, the NHL has reached playoff time. Depending on the sport you play or may find an interest in there is no better time in the season than when it comes to playoffs. This is when the hardest and most succesful teams on the season come together to find out who is the number one team. Whether it be the superbowl, the MLB championship or the Stanley Cup, they all bring viewers in from all over the world to witness the glorious ending. Of all these great events, the one which i find most interesting due to my love for the game, is the stanley cup in hockey. Being a lover and athlete in the game since i was 5 there isnothing better to watch the NHL's best teams and players face off for the stanley cup. Like in any other sport, everyone has a specific team which they share most love toward wether it be their home town team or a favorite team. Being in Michigan, there is one team which is being ruited upon more than any other team and thats our detroit redwings. Ye, i love our detroit redwings and would love for them to win the cup, the team which i find to be one of the most important things in my life and whom i would like to see win it all is the Washington capitals. So far they are off to a good start as they have defeated the new york rangers in round one. I hope to see them go far and hopefully win it all.
ReplyDelete23 days until senior year is over. I'm so excited to get out of Lakeland and be done with high school. I won't be done with school completely on the 27th, because the following Tuesday I have to start going to OTC from 8-3...But being done with Lakeland is good enough for me C: Don't get me wrong, I am scared to start my life and all that, but I know I have a good plan and a good future coming so that makes it a little less scary. Hopefully by this fall, I'll be a licensed cosmetologist C:
ReplyDeletespring break was about two weeks ago, but I'll talk about it anyway. I stayed in Michigan and didn't really do anything that exciting, until the last weekend. I went up north with my boyfriend, his friend and his two cousins. We stayed in their grandparent's old house and it was really fun. I wish it could have lasted longer though, it was really relaxing to be in a town with very little people and stay in a house with no neighbors. Hopefully we can go up again this summer C:
ReplyDeletewith the thought of hockey on my mind, i would like to discuss my love for a specific player in the NHL. Liek everyone, i too have a specific figure who i look up to and dream to one day be like, and that person is Alexander Ovechkin. Alex is the current captain for the washington capitals who are on there way to hopefully clinching the stanley cup. Growing up in russia, alex played for all sorts of teams including russia's national hockey team. After years of playing for russia, alex entered the nhl draft and was takin by the washington capitals. he immediatly shocked the nation with his ability to move the puck down the ice, moving around the opponent. he is built of all different attributes such as his speed, high powered shot and accuracy. He is also well known for his big hits made on the ice due to his strength and large body build. Ovechkin led the league in goals, assists, and overall points. Everything about him and the things he can do with and without the puck absoulutly amazes me. With what he has shown us so far, i have no doubt in the world that he will be looked back at by other generations, as a hockey god such as a wayne gretzky.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was a wierd day. It was supposed to storm, there was tornado watches and it was supposed to hail. I had a track meet yesterday and I was expecting the worst. The weather looked like it was going to get really bad (even though it was like 70 degrees). They ran the track meet super fast in order to try and bea tthe weather. nothing never happened though. All it got was cloudy and windy. It was really warm and most of the meet it was sunny and beautiful. i have no idea what the weather people were talking about. And today, they said 30% chance of rain at 7 this morning. It was absolutly pouring. People came in saoked to the bone. It looked liek they just got out of the shower with their clothes on.
ReplyDeleteSummer is coming and I am really excited. I cant wait for graduation and to be done with high school. I also am really excited for my graduation party. It is going to be a lot of fun. i have so many things I am going to do this summer, it is going to fly by. I have graduation, my graduation party, a possible Alaska trip, up-north, Indiana and proabbly more. Its going to be a lot of fun. I am also excited to go to college in the fall. I am planning to go to MSU. I think that will be a lot of fun too. As the year is winding down, I am about to take some AP tests and then Those classes will basically be done.
ReplyDeleteReally soon I am going to go up north to my cabin. In early may, just around mothers day, the Morel Mushroom grows in Michigan. It is a wild mushroom that has the best rasting flavor you will ever taste in a mushroom. It sounds really wierd but they are really good. For some reason, people dont know how to grow them, they just know they come around this time of year in the wild. Scientists have been trying to grow them to sell on a larger market, but never have been able to do it successfully. This time of year, we go up north, out in the woods and look for these things. If you like mushrooms, you have to try these. You can buy them at very high end produce stores, but they come from people who find them in the wild. To buy them, its 40.00 for just 4 oz of them.
ReplyDeleteSeafood is some of the best food around. I love any kind of seafood. Everything from shrimp, crab, lobster, scollops, mussels, fish of any kind, and even sushi. Sushi I think is really good. It is somethign everyone should at least try. Most poeple dont even try it becasue they cant get past the idea of it. You cant knock it until you try it. OUt of all seafood though, crab or freshly caught lake fish are of my favorites. Bluegill, sunfish, perch and walleye are some of the best tasting fish in my opinion. since I am a fisherman, i love going to the lake, catching me a mess of good fish and having a fish fry. Just thinking about it makes me want to go fishing right now.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine just went to court today beacuse of a speeding ticket he got. He was racing one of his friends and they bost blew past a cop ay about 80 mph. The one got pulle dover but my other friend didnt. I dont know why peopel would want to go 80mph or more down M-59. That is just absolutly crazy. your asking for a funeral doing something like that. For me, I've never gotten a ticket, but I have gotten in an accident. The accident htough wast my fault. I was stopped waiting to make a left turn and some idiot decided to rear end me. Not very fun. Fortunatly, my truck was ok. her car on the other hand was mashed and she could even drive it away. Thats whats nice about driving a truck!
ReplyDeleteRight now I am in the CAD computer lab and it is ridiculously hot. Some rooms in this school are really hot, whilel others are really cold. No matter waht time of year it is, they can never seem to get it right. i dont know if its the custodians, the equipmment, or the lack of funds to upgrade, but something needs to be done. I understand the schhol is a large place to heat/cool, but they do make systems large enough to accomadate such provisiosn. I dont know what the deal is. It also seems to be worse in certain classrooms all the time. Certain classrooms always have temeprature issues. Its strange that they are not able to fix the issue, or it takes them way too long to get to it.
ReplyDeleteOver spring break I went to Key West, Grand Cayman, and Ocho Rios Jamaica on a cruise. I didnt think that this cruise was going to be fun at all but I was wrong. It ended up being really fun and you got to meet a lot of new people. They had all the food you can think of and had other things you can do to occupy yourself. There were kids from Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, and even Michigan. They were all cool and we just had fun. If I was given another chance to go on a cruise I would do it.
ReplyDeleteWell we are almost done with our high school careers. It just seemed like we were freshman not too long ago and now we are finally getting to graduate. There has been a lot of memorable memories we've had over the years like winning against Milford in football and had fun there. I know once the time comes to say goodbye to everyone there, it will be sad but I'm ready to go to college and become one step closer to become a police officer.
ReplyDeleteToday, I got a ride from one of my friends and we both saw that gas was over 4 dollars a gallon for gas. The rising gas prices are becoming a problem now because most of us need our cars for getting to work and other things and now gas is rediculous. This is happening because we are buying our oil from overseas and demand is always high. What we need to do is to start thinking about drilling here in the States so the price will go down a little bit. If gas keeps going up like 5 or 6 bucks a gallon, then we will see people start riding motorcycles or bikes to work.
ReplyDeleteSome people like rock and some people like rap but to me, I like country. I think its got a catchy tune to most of their songs and most of them you would hear at a party or a graduation. If you look pass all the sad songs, its really good for a long drive or even just something to listen to. I would recommend this to anyone and some of them would be Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Colt Ford, and many other good country bands.
ReplyDeleteIn 2 more weeks, the Downtown Hoedown will be coming to Hart Plaza in Pontiac. For those who don't know what the Downtown Hoedown is, its a 3 day concert that plays the most popular country artists and vendors go down to sample their products there. Even if you don't like country, its just fun to meet different people there. I think that its gonna be a good concert this year because they've got a good lineup for the 3 days.
ReplyDeleteWell, again procrastination has been a problem for me so time to blog. Not sure what to really blog about really. The blogs are a great idea mainly because we don't have to turn in note books etc. It also gives people some way to express themselves if they are confident in being open which is nice.Not really sure what else right now.
ReplyDeleteI am probably not the only sick of the gas pries going up and up. I get surprisingly good gas millage in my car. I think mainly gas millage depends on how you drive. My Camaro has a 5 liter v8 and I still manage to get 20-22 MPG by not driving like a asshole. When I do decide too though I still get around 18 which isn't a very big difference, but with the way prices are going its starting to be. If people just ease into the throttle more instead of just stomping it to get up to speed you will save more gas.
ReplyDeleteTo fight the gas prices people are buying hybrids and small engine cars to get better MPG. Me I decided to get a motorcycle. For less cost and what I think is a more enjoyable ride I can go 150+ miles on just 2 gallons on gas. I think more people should get motorcycles mainly because it will raise awareness of them. Most motorcycle accidents are caused by car drivers not noticing the motorcyclist. Most people think its just the motorcyclist being a jackass but its not. Its the people speed while texting on their phone and not paying attention. Motorcycles have been given a bad name because of that.
ReplyDeletetoday i went running for a mile. the thing i noticed was even though i went running, my body felt like it didnt want to. it was almost as if my mind and body were fighting on what to do? ive noticed when i try to work out after i eat i have less urge to workout than if i worked out before i ate. i dont know why it is like this for me, but life is strange in many ways i guess.

ReplyDeleteeveryone went away on spring brake, but i didnt not. My friend laura and i watched my friend taylors house along with her dog. Laura is like my very bestfriend and i never once got sick of her. we did everything together that week and we had alot of fun even if we werent doing anything. I could really see my self being a roommate with laura in college or moving into a small house or something with her. Laura is my one friend that i can trust 100% and always relie on if im upset. I spend every weekend with her we are always together. I love her to death

ReplyDeleteIm so excited for school to be over. I think we have like a total of 20 days or something left. Im so excited for summer i hope this summer is even better than last year. Im so excited for all the bonfires, the partys, the boat rides and swimming. I would have to saw the best part of summer is waking up late knowing that you have nothing really important to do.
ReplyDeleteI dont really get the point of blogging. Ive had to do it for 3 years now. Mr.kay would always make us do it but instead of doing 10 or 15 a semester we had to do it everyday. I never know what to talk about so its really hard to make it really long like most peoples. So most of mine will be short and to the point. I dont liek blogging i think its pointless and i dont see how it helps in school.
ReplyDeletelately i have been going to bed so late and its really hard for me to get up in the morning for school. I love love love sleeping and i never watn to get up in the morning. in the morning i have to take a shower then right after i have to wake up my sister becasue she cant wake up on her own. most of the time she fights me and never gets up when i tell her to and it makes me very angry. Then i have to do my hair which takes me forever cuz its really thick. then i do my makeup and find an outfit to wear then im off to school
ReplyDeletethere is so many things that i have learned threw high school that have effect my positivly. The most important would probably be to respect everyone even if you dont know them. Also you should always smile at people in the halls it makes you feel good and the other person you are smiling at. It feels good to know that people notice you and respect you as well as you doing the same for them. you always need to have ta positive attitude or you will get no where with people in highschool.
ReplyDeleteIm kind of scared for college and what it comes with. I think its more of the fact that im scared to leave home. i dont know what i would do without my parents. They both mean the world to me and i love them more than anything else in the world. I have so much respect for them and eerything they do for me. Im also scared that i wont be successful in college and go no where in life. eventhough thats mostlikely not goign to happen i still think about it all the time.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is so excited for prom but im really not that excited. I havent got asked yet and i really dont think im going to. Which kinda makes me sad but what am i going to do about it. so if i dont get asked then im not going. i dont really see the point of going if you dont have a date. Everyone goes with someone and i would just feel awkard if i didnt have a date. I really want to be asked in a cute way.
ReplyDeleteI really hate school. Actually,i've really lost all motivation for it. I'm not scared for college, in fact, i think that it will only make me a better person and let me have my own freedom. I think it's finally starting to set in with my parents that i'm not exactly a kid anymore.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Chicago again this weekend. When i went for my Senior Trip, it ended up being really lame. First off, my friend who i went with enter into the trip in a automatically bad mood. She wanted to be somewhere warm. To add to her mindset, it was raining almost all the time. Im hoping nowthat i am going with my boyfriend and his family, that we will all just relax and have a great time!

Currently, I am in AP Calculus. I have never had such a hard class in my life. Everything in school has come so easy to me, but Calculus is just downright hard. I have cruised through all my math classes up until this point. I want to become an engineer, and I know that these skills will be invaluable. i will have to take even more calculus in college for engineering. I think all of the concepts and stuff is interesting, it is just hard to wrap your head around it sometimes. The countless rules, processes and formulas that you have to remeber are mind blowing. It also doesnt help that calculus is a new subject in math on its own. Geometry and algebra classes are all related and build off one another. Calculus uses some algebra, but most of the concepts are brand new, so it is like learning a new language. Most of the concepts I havent even heard of until i got in the class. Things like integrals and deriviatives are such concepts. I hope I will do OK with this in college!
ReplyDeleteMy dad has been getting no me lately because i don't really believe in chivalry because I always think if boys and girls are supposed to be equal why can't girls try to be polite to guys. I'm not really sure why he is getting upset for me he always told me to be myself and not to get stepped on and hurt. How can I make sure that happens if and that I am still myself if I can't even do what I truly want. Chivalry is cute and stuff but why can't girls show the same feelings towards guys. I have always been doing the kind of stuff guys do for girls well mainly opening doors and all of a sudden I have to stop. Why aren't I allowed to do what I want just because I'm older that doesn't mean that I can't be the same in that respect.
ReplyDeleteas a senior im still taking spanish. I hate spanish i think its completly pointless and i dont understand why people are required to take it. I think that we sould be learning some other forigen language other than the ones that we have an option to take. FOr me spanish is really hard and i barely know anything.its really hard for me to understand anything in spanish i cant even read it. its super super super hard.
ReplyDeleteSo i was online looking at this store called "the container store." I've already got an idea of what i want my dorm to look like. I'm thinking like an eggplant purple with gray. I'm kinda a clean freak, so i hope that my roommate isnt messy.... or weird.
ReplyDeleteSpring break in mexico this year was insane from what I can remember. I spent most of my time in the pool underneath the cabana sitting at the swim up bar chilling with all of my friends and meeting new people. I met so many new people down there and everyone was friends, none of us really cared where eachother were from. At night we would all go to the club called the Jaguar. Dancing and loud music took place in this club but you had to be 18 and older to get in. Altogether it was the experience of a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteThe rain of late has been really bad. We have had a lot of storms recently, and its getting a littel old. Most of these storms are the atermath of the really bad storms down south. It sounds like they have had a whole bunch or tornados and many people have been killed. This is a bad time of year for this kind of stuff. it seems like every year there is alawys flooding and tornados that wreck havok in the United States. Luckily though, Michigan is pretty lucky for avoiding big disasters like that. It is very rare for us to have a tornado, so we dont have to worry much about them. it is impossible for a hurricane to hit us, and we are nowhere near any fault lines that would cause us to have any earthquakes. From a natural disaster standpoint, we are pretty safe. That doesnt mean we dont get a lot of rain or snow however. I like michigan for its always changing seasons and weather. it mixes it up a little. My favorite time of year though has to be the fall. The colors are really amazing.
ReplyDeleteNext year my plans are to go to the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I will be atending the College of Engineering as a freshmen. I am very excited to go there as it has always been my dream as a kid. I cannot wait to attend the football games at the big house, and experience life as a college student in one of the biggest campuses in the country. Most of all, however, I can't wait to start over with meeting new people. I am done with high school and I have never been really happy with my social status at Laklenad. I can start all over in college because it will all be new. Another reason I am excited is because I will be off on my own, making my own decisions and living independently.
ReplyDeleteI actually kinda of enjoy school now that i think about it. not the actually learning part but seeing all my friends everyday it awesome. I think im really going to miss highschool when im done with it. right now im more excited than anything to be done with school. but later on im goign to miss it. like seeing everyone all the time haveing something to do like everyday. looking forward to the weekend and finding something to do after school if i dont have homework. highschool has changed me for the better and im thankful for that
ReplyDeleteMy first hour was so fun, I'm the only senior in the class though but I still have other friends. We were playing the circle game as we call it which is supposed to be where there are enough chairs in a circle for everybody but one person and that one person has to stand in the middle and say something about themselves if someone else agrees they have to get up and run for a different chair that is unoccupied brcause the other person agrees. It's a game we play to learn more about each other. There is this one girl I can never remember her name I want to say it's Emily but I'm not sure she is a freshman. Anyway she is supposed to be the "creepy" person in the class. Someone was saying that she didn't like her and the person that said that was in the middle of the circle so my teacher got up joking with her and the whole class noticed and started laughing. Earlier she stole a chair from someone well not literally she just jumped in front of them to land on the chair. She is competetive just like most of us. It was an awesome hour, we have known each other all year so we have good chemistry and we know how to get along with each other.
ReplyDeleteBlogging again, this time about Prom :] I am the VP of our class and we have been planning prom for 2 years now and its going to be great! June 2nd at Crystal Gardens in Howell. The tickets will be on sale until May 18th so don't wait until the last minute! Also, we need people to download pictures onto moodle for the graduation slideshow :] Let any of us class officers know if you have any questions!
ReplyDeletethis is my last blog! yay. staring at this computer is making my head hurt really bad and my eyes burn. im sick of blogging i really have no idea what to talk about. im excited to be missing school tomorrow for our feild trip. i have already been here last year with the team tought class and i enjoyed it for the most part. it was intersting to see a actual college and see how big it is on the inside. i dont know where im going to college next year but probably occ or heneryford.
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago, I went on vacation to Grand Cayman. Although the trip was fun and I saw a lot of cool stuff, I now have tons of work to do and various pressures on me to graduate. I absolutely HATE it when people talk to me like it is their problem! Why can't I handle it myself without all the freaking pressure?!?
ReplyDeleteSo everyday lately seems to be the same thing. School, Hockey, watch hockey then go to bed. I wish the weather was nicer so i could actually go on the boat and hangout with friends. So i guess ill have to wait until it gets nice to get out of this hole.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a little nervous about graduating OTC on time. My goal was to graduate by the end of summer school, and when I started off the year I was sure that it would happen. But after so many early release days and days where I wasn't able to go, I'm pushing it. And I just found out that I have to go to Lakeland's graduation rehearsal June 1st which means I have to miss seven hours at school. I just really don't want to have to go back to OTC in the fall, because if I do it will only be for a few days, and that would be pointless.
ReplyDeleteI cant believe that theres only a month left of school. I have really mixed emotions about it all, and am still trying to figure out what i am going to do once i get out of this place. I have been accepted to afew colleges, but im caught between going for my goals and doing what everyone else is telling me i should do...
ReplyDeleteProm is coming up, and I'm kind of excited about it. I never thought that I would go to prom, and I didn't plan on it until I found the dress I'm going to wear. Plus my boyfriend and my family convinced me that I might regret it. I just hope it's not stupid...which it probably will be, like most other Lakeland dances. But I'm going to give it a chance.
ReplyDeleteSo prom prom what to do what to do, I have nobody in mind to ask. Im not really even attracted to most of the girls left in our school. Thats why I need to get out of here and go to college already. I want to party and have fun already im just sick of all this high school b.s
ReplyDeleteSo I was accepted to Oakland University and Oakland Community College, I had my heart set at Oakland Univeristy and my dad wants me to go to OCC. He doesn't seem to understand I worked my butt off to go to Oakland University or a school like it since 8th grade. Now he doesn't want me to go all of a sudden and it's really upsetting. When I went on the OCC field trip because I wasn't accepted at Oakland University I took the COMPASS test the placement test they have. My language arts score was 4 points off from perfect and language arts is my worst subject. For math I got like a 46 or so out of 100. MAth has always been my best subject. That test is so messed up I can only imagine how bad the math department is, which is what I want to major in. My first few math classes will be what sets me up for success or failure. I want to tell him that I want to do the O2O which is where I can enroll is at both Oakland University and OCC. It sounds like a compromise of what we both want.
ReplyDeleteA week ago, Playstaion Network went down for maitainence. Since then, I have started a new hobby; I'm writing stories. So far, I have posted 4 chapters of the 1st part of a story I had thought up. If you want to see it, look up GrandmasterDash on fanfiction.net. I think it's preety cool so far.
ReplyDeleteSo evan and I have a friend who is really cool and fun to hang around, when he is not constantly worrying about his girlfriend. He is constantly texting her and will not do anything if she doesn't want him to. So basically she controls every aspect of his life. He is so concerned with pleasing her that he doesn't take the time to live life and do what he wants to do in life. Evan is concerned because he is rooming with him next year at collge. Evan wants to have fun and live the college life, but this girl is going to hinder him from having any fun indirectly. She also doesn't appreciate him that much which is a problem. We both think that he needs to break up with her for these reasons but he will not.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I feel like I can't handle all the pressure people put on me. I know I'm smart, but I feel like they expect me to prove it more and more. What I would want is to have a clean slate; that way, people would leave me alone.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to get out of Lakeland and start my life. I plan on going to OCC in the fall and I'll have my associate's degree in one year C: I already have half of the credits just from going to OTC. I think I'll enjoy college a lot more than high school, and once I'm done with OCC I can (hopefully) start assisting in a salon. I don't plan on moving out for a few years, though. A lot of people are planning on moving out as soon as they can, but I want to save up money first so I don't have to struggle as much.
ReplyDeleteThis summer is going to be bomb, its going to be everybodys last summer together. So we are all going to live it up and live everyday like a party. There are going to be so many grad partys we are going to have and everything is going to be awesome. I think i am going to have a karaoke machine at mine, which will be awesome. I am going to have a blast.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this summer to come around. Once all AP testing is done, i am considering it summer. I can't wait to party all summer before I go off to college. To start, we have prom which I am excited about. It is going to be a blast and it is going to be awesome. I still don't have a date, but I will before prom. It is going to be our last summer together with all out friends, so we have to end it on a good ote. I will probably never see most of these people ever again. Overall, i am really excited.
ReplyDeleteOver spring break I went on a cruise to Costa Maya and Cozumel. It was a 5 day cruise on Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas. It was a lot of fun and I went with my family. It was cool because it forced me to meet new people. I met some people from Michigan and Georgia and we had a lot of fun in Mexico and on the ship. Aboard the ship there was a pool deck, a casino, a huge dining hall, a theater, and other things. I never got bored once on the trip. I also flew to North Dakota for a wedding on spring break. My cousing got married and I was an usher. It was fun because I got to ride in the limo with the wedding party before the reception and I got to sit at the head table. I had a really fun spring break.
ReplyDeleteRecently, I built a computer with some old spare parts laying around. I first tried to make a Hackintosh by installing OSX 10.6 on it, but that failed so I installed Ubuntu. It is a Linux distribution that is very user friendly. Since it is Linux, it is open source, which means it can easily be modified and any kind of program can be installed on it. As opposed to Windows where everything must conform to Microsoft's policies. It is also free. The downside is that it is often difficult for people to use who are not tech savvy. The next step I had to do was hook it up so that I could use one set of keyboard and mice on two different computers. I used a program called Synergy to connect the computers through my home's LAN network. It is great because the program works accross platforms. It is really cool.
ReplyDeleteI wasnt able to go anyway during spring break this year. Thats because I got to go to Hawaii over Christmas break. Although that trip wasnt the best; a lot of things happened that made it not so fun. Being able to say that I've been t Hawaii though is good enough I suppose. Not many people can say that. So instead of going somewhere over spring break, I stayed home. I went shopping and got some clothes. I really need a new wardrobe. Most of my clothes either dont fit or I dont wear anymore. I also went to some family things. And my birthday was during spring break, so I got some presents too.
ReplyDeleteThe next two months are going to be busy. Although school is boring and I dont do anything while I'm there, there is alot going on outside of school, too. This week is my last week of a full week of actual school. Nest week I have 2 days of ap testing, and the week after I have one day of ap testing. Then on the 19th, we only have a half day. And finally, for our last week of school, that monday is senior skip day, and friday isnt really a day of school anyway. Then prom is june 2, graduation on june 5, and orientation for college on june 8. My dance rehearsal and recital is the week of the 13th, then my graduation party is june 25th. Then june 28th im going to California to visit my aunt and cousin with my grandma, and I dont get home until July 12th. What a busy couple months.
ReplyDeleteLike I mentioned in my last post, I'm going to California from June 28th until July 12th this summer. I am very excited because I havent been there sense 7th grade. When I was little me, my brother, and my mom would go there all the time to visit my aunt. But once we grew up, we stopped going. Probably because it was getting more and more expensive. We also would go up north every summer, but we stopped going up there when my other aunt got a divorce. I went to there every summer from before I was born, until 7th grade. I loved going up there. The cottage was on lake Huron by Rogers City. There would be a parade and a festival every year too. It was sort of like Milford Memories.
ReplyDeleteI have been obsessed with the Hunger Games since I found the series last year, well obsessed may not be the right word, maybe in love with. I always go on 2 different Hunger Games websites whenever I can get o the computer just to check the cast out for the movie that comes out in 2012. I've never followed a book being made into a movie so intensly but that's probably because I haven't had a book that I really loved that was being made into a movie while I was reading it. I usually come in after the movie comes out.
ReplyDeleteAfter etting all of the surveys and questionaires we got recently I've finally realized the year is almost over. It seems like we just entered high school last year or so and now it's over in less than a month. It' wierd to think about, everything is going to be over soon, we won't be going to Lakealnd again next year even though it feels like we will be. I guess that's what happens when you go to some place for so long. It feels like it can't go on without you when it really can.
ReplyDeleteWith the end of highschool coming closer and closer, i can not to this day believe how fast it went by. Looking back i can say i do not regret one thing, as i made the best of it and met many new friends. Coming into highschool i was very nervous as i would have to walk the big halls of lakeland withthe older kids. But at the same time, i was very excited to meet all the incoming freshmen like myself from oakvalley. Growing up with the same friends i was nervous to see what the other group of people would be like and if we were to get along. turns out, we all connected immediatly and became great friends with everyone. I was able to make a bunch of friends and spend my time with them throughout highschool. Today, some of my bestfriends came from oakvalley and am happy to have gotten the time to have that friendship. With graduation right around the corner, i am starting to get the nervous feelings back as i am going to have to start all over with meeting new people as we move into college. I am sad it is all over, but plan to always keep in contact with those i was close to.
ReplyDeleteThroughout highschool, many memories were made. One of my biggest memories had to have been the time spent with some of my closest friends down in punta cana. In the begging of the year, the big question was were our senior trip was going to be. Many fought to go to cancun or many other locations. Turned out the final decision was the dominican republic. Once the decision was finnaly made, the worst part came, and that was waiting till spring break. After all, the long long wait was well worth it. All my life i have ever witnessed such a beautiful place. When we arrived down there, it is easy to say that the lakeland senior group made themselves right at home and fit in to the scene. After day one we all couldnt believe we were finnaly here and that it was only day one. A week later, we were on the plane back to the states. WE coulnd not believe how fast the trip had went by and how sad it was that it was over. though its all a wrap, we all can agree that many memories were made, and we can live on to tell many stories about our senior trip to punta cana, dominican republic.
ReplyDeleteWell now that school is coming to a end I wonder what I am going to be doing after. If I am going to go to college after or just work at where ever I get a job. Maybe get lucky and work at a auto shop and get my certifications through there. Or maybe go to school at specs howard for broadcasting or video game design. I am still indecisive on what I want to do after high school. I do know I don't want a "job" something thats just day in day out. I want a career something that I will enjoy doing.
ReplyDeleteSummer is finally coming around which I am excited for. Before it was we just get out of school. Now its freedom. I know I am excited for the hoedown in may this year. I know I am going with a group of people from school. I also wonder how many people besides our group is going. It is going to be fun though either way.
ReplyDeleteNormally I am not a fan of covers in music. I was surprised a week or so ago though when I heard a cover of "Old Man" by Redlight King. It is the same as the original lyrics wise. It also has clips from the original in the song. What surprised me is how much it has changed from the original without ruining it. Its a great song and just flows.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I think I really hate about lakeland is the lack of respect for peoples cars in the parking lot. It seems like no one cares whats going on there. When people are walking in they don't care if a car is coming because they have the right of way. Which is kinda stupid cars just cant stop because you decide to be a jackass. People also seem to think its a good idea to put their car door into someone else's. I have had one of my cars dinged twice this year. The other one I haven't bothered with because its already beat up.
ReplyDeleteI feel like i am running out of things to blog about. I don't know if its a lack of creativity or lack of expression. Blogging is fun though in its own right. It makes me thing of stuff to write about. The only time I have a hard time with it is when my mind goes blank.
ReplyDeleteVideo games seem to have gotten popular with everyone lately. Not just introvert people. Myself I dislike playing games unless I am on xbox live with my friends. Some people think the mainstreaming and social friendly games are "destroying" it. They still make good games that newer people to the scene will not know about. Why would it really matter though either way? If you enjoy it why not share it with someone else.
ReplyDeleteBands are a inspirational thing. Through their names their songs. The way they express themselves their is something for everyone. There is a song somewhere that someone can relate too. Either it be going out having a good night. Or picking yourself up from disaster and putting everything back together and making it better. I feel like its great that we have people that can make this. One song could bring all sorts of people together just of similar interest. They could relate to the song through experiences they have had or just both having the same taste in music. Without music this world would be very different.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have done all 10 of my blogs but I am going to do this last one just to be sure. I feel like I have gone over a handful of things but mainly go back to stuff I like overall. That I am just expressing the same thing differently. I also have read over some other blogs people have posted. Some just venting others talking about their day or dreams. Others are just flat out strange to me. But writing is a form of expression so might as well get some kind of word out instead of keep it all bottled up.
ReplyDeleteNeil Peart is, in my opinion, one of the best drummers of all time. For those of you that do not know, he is the drummer for the band Rush. He is one of the fastest, calmest, most creative drummers I have ever seen. While he plays the drums, it looks like he doesn't even break a sweat. He just sits there as if he is watching TV. I watched a documentary on him once that said that he rarely ever gets his songs 100% right in front of a live audience. It seems like he gets pretty close to me! He is definitely an inspiration to me as a drummer and I wish I had that kind of talent. I love the band and the music they play as well. Overall, Neil Peart is one of the best drummers of all time in my opinion. If you do not know who he is, look him up, you will be amazed.
ReplyDeleteOne regret I have from high school is not having a great social life. At the start of 9th grade, I didn't have much social life at all, even though I desperately wanted friends and people to accept me. I now have a lot of friends but only about two close friends. I don't really hang out with a lot of people outside of school or get invited to parties. I know a lot of people say who needs those people who party all the time, but the truth is they have a lot of fun doing it. I have a lot of fun doing it too, the few times I have had the opportunity. I am not saying I want to be part of the "popular" group. All I am saying is that those people need to be more open to having other people come hang out with them instead of ridiculing people for trying to fit in. I personally think of myself as a guy who is friends with all types of people. I like that, but it has its disadvantages such as this one above.
ReplyDeleteFor this bog, I am going to talk about things that annoy me and pet peeves. There are two things that really annoy me and I do not know why. One of them is when people stop right in front of you in the hallway to talk to someone. I just want to push them out of the way and I hope they trip and fall or something. You would not do something like that on the road so do not do it in the hallway. i will even give them like a hip or shoulder check if they do stop in front of me in the hallway. My other pet peeve is when people do not accelerate up to highway speeds on the ramp to get on the expressway. People go like 45 mph on the ramp and then try to merge with traffic and it messes everything up. Not only that, but they cause everyone behind them on the ramp to go slower so even more people get annoyed. That is what the ramp is for, and that is why it is so long so that you can get up to 70 mph before you merge.
ReplyDeleteToday is Thursday, so this means that the weekend is almost here. I am so excited! Friday, I'm hanging out with my two best friends Mollie and Kristen. We all have been best friends since we were in 3rd grade. It's pretty incredible, because we have the type of relationship where we can not talk for weeks, but when we hang out, it's like not even a minute has gone by. Our plan is to go to the Comeback Inn doe dinner and get the amazing taco salad, and then go do whatever comes to our minds. Then on Saturday I'm going to the movies to see Water for Elephants with one of my favorite people ever!! I hope for a good weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteSo I guess I have to give a speech at graduation this year. I honestly have not started it yet and I have no idea what I am going to talk about. I told the other person that we should do a duet because there is two of us. This way we could sing and entertain people. She didn't think it was such a good idea and you really don't want to hear me sing. I will probably just do some inspirational stuff but I do want to try to make it somewhat entertaining to people.
ReplyDeletePlans for this weekend. Hmmmm... Well tomorrow (Friday) I am going to UofM. Tomorrow night I have a lacrosse game against Hartland. Saturday morning I plan to wake up early to take a practice AP Calculus test. After that I will go to work until about 8 or 9 oclock at night. Then I will probably go out and hang out with some people. Then Sunday morning I will wake up and do homework. I am going to an AP Chemistry study session from 3-7 pm. It will be a pain but it waill hopefully pay off because the AP test is on Monday. I am headed for a busy weekend, but I think it will be a rewarding one.
ReplyDeleteAs of right now I'm watching Vampire Daries with my mom. When I first saw this show I thought it was really stupid and just another show that every girl would be gossiping about and would be in love with the vampires of the show. However, just recently I gave the show a chance and watched it a few times and it's actually pretty good. It deals a lot with relationships and problem solving. This show is very similar to thte Twilight Saga, but the difference is is that there's more action and less lovey dovey stuff. This is the reason why I like this show, don't get me wrong I love the Twilight books, but I just feel they give a unrealistic look of realtionships.
ReplyDeletePart of my staying home for college is that my dad would buy me a new car! I really want a Jeep wrangler! So today my family and I went to the Chrysler and I got to test drive a jeep. It was so cool, I fell in love with it as soon as I got in the driver's seat. The color that I would like is that beautiful blue, but I probably won't get that color, because we have to buy a new used car. Either way, I am still very excited. As previously stated, I'm getting the Jeep Wrangler, however, I will be getting the hard top. On the plus side though, a tiny part of the hard stop still comes off, so you can still have the top off in the summer while driving. I am very thankful for my dad buying it for me!
ReplyDeleteOne thing that bother's me the most is when people don't think and then they get mad at you! When something isn't your responsibility, then you clearly aren't responsible for it. Especailly when it's 9:30 at night and they're calling you for help for a test that is tomorrow because they don't want to fail. Well, maybe they should have thought of that before this late at night. What get's me the most is that they are being rude to you on the phone like you have no right to be upset. News flash, I do. I have other homework and other things that need to be done. It would be okay if it's just a one time thing, but when it's over and over it's really frustrating and annoying.

ReplyDeleteI just ate some delicious hummus it was so good that I am going to talk about it. I really like middle eastern food because it is spicy. Tomorrow I am bringing hummus as my lunch to mix it up. And after I'm done writing this I am going to go eat some more hummus. I dont even know what hummus is made out of but I really like it

ReplyDeleteI haven't found a prom dress yet and that's kind of a problem. I like the dresses with the obnoxious prints but I would have to be really tan to wear that. Also, I have been looking at the mermaid style dresses because they slim the body. And I think the one shoulder dresses are very pretty. My mom told me she wont go prom dress shopping with me because she thinks I will not be a happy camper. Thats okay because she will have an opinion on it but it wont matter because she wont be there. I am going to Somerset tomorrow for prom dress shopping. So, I am way excited.

ReplyDeleteCurrently I am listening to club music and that music really pumps me up. I have gone to the club with my friends Raechel Moore and Sarah Brandenburg. That was an experience, we went to Tonic and Tiki Bobs. Lets just say Tiki's was a good people watching experience. I saw some disgusting things that makes me questions peoples class level. Overall, this was a great people watching experience and I couldnt help but laugh. And it was in Pontiac so it was a mini road trip to a different part of town!

ReplyDeleteSo I hate michigan weather. It is so unpredictable and dissapointing. It was 70 and sunny the last day of spring break while it was rainy and crappy the whole week before that. Now it wont stop raining and it is miserable outside. Nobody likes this weather, mother nature is not being nice to us. I want it to be summer so bad.

ReplyDeleteI am kinda nervous about the AP tests coming up but not really. For AP gov, I dont even want to talk about that test. But that test inst until May 10th so I have some time to study. I still have to do ALL of my review packets for that class. I have gone through some of the questions and realized I dont know something about our government. In AP gov, I have been drawing hand turkeys because I am so bored.
Today is the NFL draft and i couldnt be more excited about Lions football this year. The lions are starting to do things the right way, and us die hards couldnt be happier. They are drafting the right guys to builf their team, along with their coach doing a great job of using the guys that he has to be the best they can be. I think that jst about everyboidy is expcecting a playoff appearance this year, especailly after beating the super bowl champions to be last year.
ReplyDeleteThis is my last blog! I'm not sure what I want to talk about. Im feeling alright. I cant wait for school to be over. Im really done with school. I dont feel like doing my homework, and I ust cant concentrate anymore. I hope I'll be okay when I take the AP tests though. I really cant wait to go to California. I miss the sunny days and the warm weather. I like it when it's in the mid 80's. It's about time Michigan gets warmer. Im tired of the cold rainy days. Just as tired as I am with school.

ReplyDeleteRight now I am on facebook and nothing is happening. I keep seeing dumb stats go across my live feed. Currently, my dog is sitting on my bed and he looks so cute. I really want some hummus right now and I just ate it. Im SOOO happy that tomorrow is friday. I cant wait to sleep in on friday. I cant wait to go shopping. That was my last bloggg. YAy!

ReplyDeleteToday I had a baseball game. We had a doubleheader against Waterford mott. Our team played the worst game that we have everr played today, and in return lost the first game. I didnt play very well and I was very dissapointed afterwards because I expect a lot out of myself and when i do do poorly, i take it harshly. In the second game Brynn hamilton came up and singled in the winning run in the bottom of the sventh inning.
Through my high school career, there has been a lot of things that Ive learned. One of them is to respect everyone that you see now because they remember that and you will probably see them in the future. Another thing Ive learned is that you don't have to worry about what other people think of you because its only your opinion that matters. Its better to be hated for who you are then be loved for who your not. Lastly just be yourself. People will respect you more for being you then pretending to be someone else.
ReplyDeleteSummer. The one thing that we all hope for in the year because its a time where you can hang with your friends almost everyday and don't have to worry about homework or school. You also can go on the water and go jet skiing or anything that involves watersports. The only bad part of summer is that it gets very hot. I don't have air conditioning in my house so I either have to go downstairs to sleep or go up in my room and keep the fan on.
ReplyDeleteAfter not having a car for 2 months it has been an inconvenience because I have to ask for rides to someones house or either try to find a ride to work. Not having a car really impares you from a lot of things and sometimes it can be a good thing. In my case, I tore down my whole front end of the Jeep down and all I have to do now is to paint the 2 quarter panels and the front end. After that, I have to put it back together and just do minor things and it will be back on the road. Hopefully it will be soon
ReplyDelete"Live to Ride, Ride to Live". Its a quote that all motorcyclists live by because when your on the road, you feel like you got a taste of freedom. Ever since I was little Ive always wanted a motorcycle. Its just something that has always interested me and just wanted to do. With riding a motorcycle also comes with a price. You are more likely to die in a accident than a passenger in a car would. So not only are you watching for yourself, but you are also watching everyone else on the road as well. Some accidents are just the persons fault because they were going too fast or they just were not looking. If anyone is thinking about getting one, all I have to say is be careful because there are those idiots out there.
ReplyDeleteCommon sense. A word that some people in todays society that don't get it. It happens on TV, at the workplace, everywhere. Someone was trying to ask me where something was at work when it was staring them right in their face or my friend was asking me how to check your oil in your car. Its all just easy stuff. you just gotta think about it.

ReplyDeleteI am so tired today. Not really sleepy tired, I just don't want to do anything. I was supposed to go on the field trip to the University of Michigan with my senior comp class, but I really can't miss the hours at OTC. I don't feel like going there today though :/ But oh well, I'll be happy when I'm out of there by the end of July.

ReplyDeleteI really wish people in this school would learn how to walk through the hallwys. I wonder sometimes if these kids drive the way they walk. People block the hallways, walk at a snail's pace, stop randomly, and don't care who they run into. It's very, very annoying. I mean, is it really that hard? I can't wait to get out of this school.

ReplyDeleteRegardless of how much I hate high school, it has taught me a lot of things. I've grown so much and learned most of my life lessons through my experiences here. I started high school as a freshman in the International Academy, and I expected to stay in that all four years, graduate with my IB diploma, and go on to become a neurologist. I met some great friends and had a good time...until the work got to be too much for me. I was so scared to leave, though, because my best friend was in the school and doing great, and the thought of being without my friends was hard for me. But from that I learned that you have to go your own way and do what's best for you, even if that means leaving people behind.
I went on to be a normal Lakeland student in 10th grade, but that year went sour as well. One of my best friends completely stabbed me in the back and turned a lot of other people against me. I didn't even do anything to deserve it either, so that messed me up. But from her, I learned that things change, and not all friends stick around forever, but you don't need anyone in your life who doesn't want you in theirs.
Those were probably the two biggest things that have happened to me during high school. I've grown from those experiences and now have better friends and a way better future ahead of me.

ReplyDeleteI'm running out of things to talk about. Last time we did blogs, I thought it would be hard to think of topics, but it wasn't. Right now I'm in the media lab with my senior english class working on our symposium speeches. I'm doing this instead though, because I have most of my presentation figured out, and we don't present until next Friday anyway. Second semester has gone by so quickly, I can't believe it's almost over. I thought Senior English would be the death of me, because I'm terrified of public speaking, but it wasn't that bad at all. I'm just glad I passed it the first time, when my brother told me about the class, he told me that he failed the first time but Mr. Kay gave him a second chance so he could walk at graduation. That scared me a little bit, but Mr. Perry is a great teacher and he made the class fun.

ReplyDeleteYay last blog. I guess I'll talk about our topic for this speech in Mr. Perry's class. Once I found some good information, I got really into it. My group picked drug trafficking as our topic, and at first I had a hard time finding articles and stuff, but then I found this really great, long article about why it's a problem, what Obama wants to try to do to fix it, and all the stuff going on in Mexico. It's really fascinating how smart the people in these drug cartels are. For example, when the Mexican government restricted the importation of pseudoephedrine (the key ingredient used to make meth), drug gangs figured out how to use a chemical found in the perfume industry to make their meth. They also have amazing ways of smuggling drugs across the border, including liquefying cocaine and putting it in red wine bottles.
I find it funny how the governemnt tries to crack down on gangs and drug dealers and they think they're going to win the "War on Drugs". These gangs are smarter than that. What the government needs to do is get down on their level.
i am sitting in Michigan university right now. we are on a field trip to tour the school and research for our paper. we are sitting in some computer lab and i saw kaysi start doing blogs, so i was like "what a good effin idea yo!" im glad we only have to do 10 of these things this time..
ReplyDeleteSpring is here (finally), but it seems as if spring hasn't really come. It is still freezing outside and I hate the cold. I do not mind the cold when it it supposed to be cold, but now that it is not supposed to be cold anymore, I am getting upset. I hope the sun shines soon and it gets warm.
ReplyDeleteso i got a job not that long ago. i work at jets pizza in wixom. it is by far the easiest job there is. how hard is it to look on a map see where you gotta drop a pizza off, then get paid for it. sometimes i deliver to my friends and i get to come inside for a sec and chill. we'll see how long this one lasts. hahaha
ReplyDeleteWhen watching the news, a lot of the news is based on the tornados that happened a few days ago. It was terrible for those many tornados to hit at once. I saw in the news that one of the tornados was close to a mile wide. I could never imagine a mile wide tornado spinning towards me. I hope nothing like this happens again.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeves in class:
ReplyDelete1. People crunching loudly
2. People who don't know how to chew gum with their mouths closed
3. People talking when I am trying to concentrate
4. People who don't raise their hand and interrupt you when you are speaking about something
5. People who go through their bag for close to 30 minutes because they can't find what they are looking for
i love riding my bike. i am going to the skate park today with my friend Adam. i just got a brand new rear wheel and some new handle bars. when i got the handle bars in the mail, they were really long. so i got the bright idea to just cut them a little bit. well, of course i cut them way to short so i ended up just wasting $60
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!:)

As senior year continues, my desire to do work decreases. I have senioritis pretty bad and reay wish I didn't. I would rather get my work done early and not procrastinate until the last few days something is due. I notice the same thing with other students who are seniors so I know that I am not alone when it comes to this issue. We only have a few more weeks and I want to make them count. After my AP tests are finished, I will be done with high school. It went by in the blink of an eye but I am so happy that I am finished.
ReplyDeleteHistory is by far my least favorite subject when it comes to core classes. I do not understand the point of learning about the past when we should look towards the future. We should replace history with a class that will better our future outcomes as adults. All history does is fill your brain with useless facts that would only be applicable on Jepordy. Leta move on to the future instead of looking at the past.
ReplyDeleteI am in senior english now and I used to be anxious when giving speeches but now I am much more comfortable giving speeches now. At the beginnin of the semester, I wasn't sure how comfortable I would be in front of all these people that I didn't know. The more you give speeches, the more comfortable you are when you give them. If anyone was to give a speech, I would recommend practicing but not over-practicing because that can ruin ypur speech. Also, keeping it simple is great because over thinking your speech can be a disadvantage. Luckily I only have a few more speeches to give.
ReplyDeleteI am at the university, it is a BIG place. Makes Lakeland look like an apartment block. The university, a condo. I am finished with my research so I'm doing my blogs.
ReplyDeleteSo today we went to Michigan university to visit the undergraduate library. It was fun and educational at the same time. Its nice to be able to visit the library and learn things about writing papers because in the future it will pay off.
ReplyDeleteThings I Hate About High School:
ReplyDelete-Drama
-Teachers being rude
-Ridiculous rules
-Overly strict teachers
-No cell phone use
-Tests the teachers do not prepare you for
-Immaturity
I brought a flash drive with me. It is a 8 GB stick I got from my sister's fiance. IT has my backed up save data for my PS3, among other things. It also contains my research data I've found from the University's database. Good amount of gold, I'd say.
ReplyDeleteI will be going up north for the weekend. It's been since last November I've been up there. I got nothing to do anyway.
ReplyDeleteI think Atlanta would be a fun place to live. From what I have heard, there are many places to go and many things to see in Atlanta. I have heard that the music industry is big down there, especially for Rap/Hip-Hop which I love. Artists like T.I., Young Jeezy, and Rick Ross all at some time signed with B.M.F. Entertainment, which is based in Atlanta. A concert down there would be crazy and I would love to go for a visit. The only downside to Atlanta is that it is hot; but I can get over it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is interesting that no matter who you ask, that person will always think their sport is the hardest. For example: if you ask a tennis player what sport they think is hardest, they will tell you tennis. Same thing goea for other sports. I am pretty sure that it is because everyone works hard at their athletic activity and wants others to appretiate it.
ReplyDeleteNext year, I am going to a small school in Ohio called Mount Union. It is located in Alliance, OH and their mascot is the Raiders. I can't wait until I can graduate to leave this high school and move on to college. I won't know anyone when I go there but that's ok because I want to meet new people that I have never met before. About four months left and I go from senior to freshman.
ReplyDeleteSo, this is pretty cool. I guess Friday's aren't my day, even though Rebecca Black might think that it is. Can't always get down on Friday, or have fun. So, today I've gotten in trouble TWICE already, both within 5 minutes of each other. First trouble I got in was because I signed Ms. Hufnagel up for one of those Meso books, you know, from the commercial? I didn't even send it to her, but she did get an e-mail. Apparently that didn't fly too well with her, so I'm getting a referral and probably losing my computer priveleges. Getting these blogs done while I still can, though. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I forgot to mention the SECOND thing that I got in trouble for. Basically, after getting in trouble for the first thing, I left the library to tell my friend, and also get the web address for the blogging site (forgot it). Well, that didn't fly so well with his teacher and I basically got kicked out. Yeah, today hasn't been my day. Hopefully this afternoon/tonight will redeem it. I could really use a good pick me up, lol.
ReplyDelete
