extreme makeover home edition! 10.23.
6:02 pm Uncategorizedsoo exciting news! this family in our town actually got chosen to do the extreme makeover home edition! Jake Grys is a cute little kid that has brittle bone syndrome and he’s awesome! Our school is affiliated with easter seals and we raise money for them every year that goes towards their program. Anywho its pretty weird to know that they are filming the actual show in our town! Its been chaotic. I just got done making the flyer to post around town about raising money. We want to raise enough money to pay off the mortgage for the house which someone told me was $130,000. They want us to do it by next tuesday! Thats a pretty HUGE amount of money to raise in such little time. The reason for the time crunch is that if we do it, then we will be on national news and stuff! I was trying to convince my mom to set out a donation bucket at her work, but she said people are too cheap and stuck up to donate. Because they don’t have money themselves. I can never convice my mom with donating anything because she is too cheap..grrr
Well they started the demolishion on the house today. I wish I coulda been there but I saw pics in our newspaper! lol the family was sent to disney land =p It probably won’t be on TV until like next year or so. Its going to be fun to watch it and know that it was in our town! haha
heres an article if anyone wants to read up on the family! http://designbuilthomesextreme.com/family.htm

feeling like crap. 10.22.
5:41 pm UncategorizedLately i’ve been stressed out to the max. Whats new? I don’t know, I just feel so overwhelmed right now. Like I have so many things to do, I don’t even know where to start. School work sucks because my mind is never focused on it. My physical and emotional health is suffering from lack of sleep and no energy. Cross country is stressing me out because i’m injured right now, but I’m hurting myself even more to run because we have 3 weeks left. College stuff is worrying me. I have to decide where I want to go for the next 4 years of my life. I’m not 100% sure what I want to major in. I don’t know if I can afford it, so I dont know how I will pay for college. I don’t know if I want to run in college. I’m trying to get involved in school because I haven’t been involved in many school extra currics. I’m trying to get all A’s to keep my top 10% rank. I’m trying to volunteer whenever I have time. I’m trying not to kill myself with stress. I’m trying to put up with immature and ignorant people I encounter everyday. I’m trying to avoid fights with my parents. I’m trying to do EVERYTHING because there is SO much to do!
I’ve been noticing its been getting worse lately. I’ve seriously been neglecting my homework. I got a 13/40 on my physics (which is like a 30%) because I didn’t do it. I slept seriously the whole night. From 7-7 in the morning. I tried to do as much as I could in school, but I didn’t finish it, so now I have an F in physics. I’m not going to lie though, it’s not the fact that I am so busy doing things. I made a personal choice not to do it, because I needed sleep. I’m not saying that I never have time to do anything. I think I have plenty of time to do my homework in the evenings. However, I just can’t get myself to do it. I spend 9 hours in school. Sitting there listening to my teachers lecture, do assignments, tests, etc. As if I haven’t already wasted all my life in school, I do not want to go home and work on some more school work! Seriously, my brain needs time to relax and I can’t constantly be doing school work every waking moment of my day. I need a break. I look at my home as a place to unwind and relax. After a long day of school and practice the last thing I want to do is repeat everything again at my house. I watch tv, lounge around, eat, take a shower, and just chill when I get home. I don’t go straight to working on my homework because I can’t physically get myself to do it. *sigh* what am I going to do….

2nd team…again 10.17.
6:23 pm Uncategorizedso today was our conference meet and I dont really know what to say about it. I’m mad but i’m not? I got 16th so I got second team conference..again. Like I always do. The cut off for second team was 18, so I was glad that I at least GOT second team all conference. I almost missed it. Anywho, I ran 16:28, which is not my best. I hate the course though because its so flat and open. Well our FRESHMAN got 6th and ran like 16:02. He did amazing, and I was jealous. I’m not going to lie but I was pretty mad about that. As selfish as that may sound, but I have always been like the runner who never got any of the attention and was always outshined by others. This year was my chance to actually stand out and be our best runner. I mean the whole school knows me as “the runner” and that I am good. But now that a FRESHMAN got first team all conference and I got second team, that makes me lose my rep. It sucks. We have a winter sports assembly in like a month or two and they announce all the conference winners and such in front of the whole school. So I’m going to feel extremely stupid that I got second team all conference and a freshman got first team. Grr he’s really good though. I mean REALLY good for a freshman, so he should be amazing his senior year. It just stinks that I can’t ever be the one in the spotlight. I tried my hardest and as best I could, so I know there was nothing that I could change. Regionals are next week. I WILL be pissed if he makes it out onto sectionals and I don’t..so yeah hopefully I will place good enough to advance. Wish me luck!
