in need of an update

it has been WAY too long. i feel so bad!! my goal for this blog is to talk about my life, an online journal in fact. i haven't been doing to good with that. my last post was what? over TWO months ago! my goal now is to post at least once a week. i can do this. i always find my self sitting on my butt bored on sundays. why not spend it blogging???

lets get on with the update!

Running to the finish at the BYU
classic.

*cross country season is over. this makes me extremely sad. miles have gone down to running just 4 miles a day and it doesn't feel right. we do have a race in California this weekend. i am so excited for this. not only will i miss some school, but i'm excited to go up there and have fun. my little brother will be coming with us and thats fun! we are taking a charter bus up and spending time on the pier one day. we will always run on the course just to see how it is. the race is going to be tough.  i haven't ran in it before, but Riley has and he said the hills are nasty. there are these switchbacks that kill you and some of the fastest runners WALK! what? bring it on **FOOTLOCKER!

the first quarter of school is over and we are already half way through the second! we had a three day break for thanksgiving and we start back up tomorrow, monday. only 18 more days until christmas break and boy am i ready! this has been the toughest year of school for me. my 4.0 streak was broken last quarter in math and chemistry. that will be different this quarter!

nothing is really happening with dance. just the same old, same old. practicing every other day. i really wish we could practice everyday though. since our school just got a drill team this year everything has changed and i don't like it. i feel jipped, but whatever. if drill never came then i probably wouldn't have done cross country. oh, but we did have the shakespeare festival. we always have fun with that. what happens is there are classes all day for two days, but also adjudicating. we took a dance from our concert it did really well with it. i can't remember our official judging, but the judges were quite pleased! we also got our team pictures done a couple of weeks ago.

officers!

officers... again.

the team!

this is a picture of us after we performed in an assembly.

well, thats it! more posts to come.


*a post on the the season will be coming up soon!
**after Footlocker i PROMISE a post. with pictures even!

Today...

i am remembering.

{via}

ten years ago on this day i was just barely five years old. i was on the couch watching tv. clips of a plane hitting a tall building were being shown. at that age i did not understand much, but i do remember it. i know i was thinking a plane was going to bomb my little small town. i wanted my dad home from work cause i was scared he wouldn't make it. little did i know the seriousness of this. now, being 15 years old i look back on that day thinking of how many families lost a member whether they were working in the buildings, were firemen, policemen, etc. i will think of them. please, think about what happened and give thanks to those who have risked their lives for america!

life can't get better

**can i begin by saying thanks for the followers!? 24 (in my mind) is pretty good and i can't wait to get more! **

so, what have i been up to lately?

honestly, i've been having a good time! i can actually say i like all of my classes. chemistry might be an exception but i'll make the best of it! dance is amazing, loving every practice! except for drama. it really sucks. the sad part is it isn't even the drama within the team it's drama outside of that! ugh!  friday we performed in the homecoming assembly and i think its safe to say we did really good! now we are getting ready for our concert which i'm so excited about. our theme is "astrology" so we will be dancing outside! it's going to be "totally wicked!!!" cross country is awesome! yesterday we just got back from a cross country meet at BYU! i got a personal record (PR) there and placed 42/127! it was so much fun! i can't wait for our next meet!

here is my goal for my blog: to post at least twice a week. life is crazy, but i really want to improve this blog! so, on top of the posts from me, if any of you would like to guest post on my blog we can swap and i guest post on your blog and get more followers! yay for followers! email me ok?

how's your life going?

Sophomore Year.

sophomore year has started. i'm already going crazy. life is busy between dance, cross country, school, homework and occasional sleep. a normal day for me consists of waking up at six to go to cross country or dance (depending on the day), go to school, go to cross country, go to dance, do homework, sleep, and repeat. 

high school is important for me. i love to dance and run so i have to stick with those activities but i have to maintain good grades. the college i plan on going to requires good grades and scholarships do too! 

i'm going to try to post as much as possible. hopefully the weekends will be pretty open so i can! i also has this awesome idea and i want to get your guy's opinions. every blogger wants followers, am i right or am i right? how would you blogger's like to guest post on my blog? that way you can get followers on my blog, ya? email me if you would like to guest post. it's pretty up in the air what you right about. as long as it is family friendly of course! comment if you have questions! 

thanks

HAS SCHOOL STARTED FOR YOU? WHAT'S THE BEST PART?

whoa there!

can i just slow down time right now? school starts in 3 days. bleh! i have my schedule but honestly i haven't done much shoppin'. i'm not ready for it to start... AT ALL!

so i told ya'll i had cross country camp, dance camp, and then a cross country meet. all of them were really fun! i just want to know why everything has to happen all in one week? like why? i need like two more weeks of summer so i can catch up on sleep and just take it easy. my body feels like it might fall apart and the saddest part, i won't have a break until, well i don't even know! oh my!

cross country camp was awesome! at first i wasn't sure about going. being new to the team and not having your friends come to the camp was a little bit sketchy for me. there were only like seven girls and close to twenty guys. i worry too much because camp was a blast! we ran... a lot and chilled. what the best part was is running to the river after the run. when the river is ice cold is feels AWESOME on your muscles. just sayin!

so right when i got back i had a day before i was off for dance camp. so many funny things from the camp! i'm going to have fun editing pictures and post them later for you guys, okay? we stopped at a petting zoo along the way. there was the CUTEST baby llama ever! i'm not kidding. then we made it to the house we were staying at and relaxed. woke up and danced. went to bed woke up and danced, and then went to bed to then wake up and go home. the last night was da bomb! so borgey, i've talked about her before, is a SPAZ! and we love her dearly because of that. well she made my night. 

about a half hour after making it home i had to leave for my FIRST cross country meet. it was nerve wrecking. i don't think i did my best but i still made varsity! i can't wait for the next one which is august 20th! i really hope i can get a PR that race, actually i know i can!

well thats it... 

stay tuned for pictures!
