Summer =)

I'm so ready for summer. I mean I have nothing major planned but school is driving me crazy. It's driving me to the brink of insanity. I have piles and piles of homework which I only have myself to blame. It's stupid procrastination. I've had that problem since freshman year. I guess I'm taking advantage of 1 day between classes. I just hope that next year "my" freshmen from KO learn from my mistakes or otherwise they'll be screwed. Summer was the title of my blog so I should be talking about summer. Summer is by far the most exciting season of the year. It does stink I'm stuck babysitting my little sister all summer, but oh well I have nothing else better to do. I'll probably take my driving test to get my intermediate liscense (still haven't gotten it yet.) My dad might take me and my brother somewhere for like a mini vacation. I don't think we will be able to afford a huge vacation to like the beach or something like that. I've been wanting to go to Graceland. So I'm hoping we will do that. It sounds fun. After all I am obsessed with Elvis Presley!!! :)

Country Music

Thought I'd blog about country music. Boring, right? I know. I'm all out of ideas of what to blog about. I don't mind listening to country music. I listen to just about everything. I like country music. Mainly because when I was younger I grew up listening to country music. That's all my grandparents ever listen to. Everytime I hear an old ('90s country song) on I reminence about my childhood. It was a good one, listening to Faith Hill. Country music is not all that bad. Speaking of I'm listening to Rodney Adkins right now on Pandora (I made a station for Josh Turner music.)Tim McGraw is another one of my favorite country artists. And I can't leave out my girl, Taylor Swift. I freaking LOVE her. She's so cool!

KOM

I had a very productive day today of KOM. It was so much fun. I didn't expect for it to be so much fun. We did these really fun "ice-breaker" activities where we got to meet some new people. It's always great to meet new people. As a matter of fact, even though I'm shy I love to meet new people. The dance we learned was probably my favorite part. As dorky and embarassing as that sounds it was fun. I love to dance (I'm not really good at it.) I'm looking forward to kick-off orientation day where we get to meet "our" freshmen. A reason why I decided to join KOM is because it would've been nice when I was a freshman to have a mentor helping me with my way through the school year. I was practically lost mentally and physically. I'm hoping I make an impact on them.

Elvis Presley


I feel like a grandma saying this, but I'm IN LOVE WITH ELVIS PRESLEY!!! I think I've fallen for his charm. Especially when he was in his 20's. Oh goodness gracious, he was so good looking. I'm swooning. I have a good majority of his songs on my iPod. Call me crazy but that true. I wish I was alive during his hay day. There's no telling what trouble I would've got myself into. haha. He'd probably have a ton of restraining orders against me. I swear when I was watching Blue Hawaii the other day, I don't think I ever moved a muscle. I was so captivated by him. I just have to go visit Graceland. I've been dying to. He is a legend. Nobody would ever replace him.

Tim Urban (American Idol)


I keep up with American Idol every year. My favorite this year had to be Tim Urban I guess because I'm infatuated with him. OMG, he's just too cute for words. He does have a good tone to his voice. I'm going to miss him on American Idol. I really loved him. I think it was unfair how he left last week on the Idol Gives Back episode. Every year on the Idol Gives Back show they send no one home, but this year they just had to send Tim home and make me sad. I think it was unfair. And I was crying. It was bad enough, the footage that was shown really jerked tears from my eyes. Then I found out the news about Tim and I was so sad. Never in all the seasons I've watched American Idol have I cried over somebody leaving. That was so crazy. I was sobbing and I was depressed for a week. I feel like the Sanjia girl. haha. At least I still have Aaron the 17 year old. I don't know what I'll do if he gets sent home.

Weird

I'm weird. Plain as that. I think that everybody is weird in some shape or form. I know I am. I would say why I'm weird but I'd have to save that for another blog. There's too many reasons to name. I think there's nothing wrong with being weird...or unique. I actually think it's pretty cool. Personally I'd rather be weird than normal because normalcy is just boring. Just think if every single person in the world was normal. We'd be living a pretty bland and boring lifestyle.

TEWWG (thoughts on the book so far)

I kindof like this book so far. I mean I like it so much better than Of Mice and Men and Scarlet Letter. I love the message that this book partakes. It's really sweet. The only think I don't like about it is the dialogue. Half of the time I'm trying to figure out what the heck they're talking about. I'm liking this book so far. I'm hoping that I end up loving it. I think it's going to be pretty great. I just love, love, love, love Janie and Tea Cake's relationship. I hope it lasts forever <3 That'll make me happy. I have a feeling something is going to happen to him. That seems to always happen. I get attached to a character (other than the main character) and something ends up happening to them.

My Expectations of Senior Year

Next year seems like it'll be really fun. I am actually really excited and anxious for senior year. I don't really know why. I guess because it's my final year of high school. After I graduate, it's total freedom. I have the whole world to explore. Anyways, I'm getting ready for my future. I've signed up next year to be a peer tutor and KOM. As I've mentioned before in my blogs I plan on being an elementary teacher or possibly special education. I'm not quite sure yet. I don't even know what college I want to go to. I mean I have my sights set on one but it'll be impossible to go there. It would take a miracle. But I'm going to save talking about college for another blog. I'm looking forward to next year and making memories that'll last a lifetime!!!

Junior Year =)

This year was and is full of stress!!! Yeah, I think this year was a roller coaster. There were some days where I felt like nothing else could be better but then there were the days where I thought anything could be better. Time flies by. No kidding. It feels like yesterday I was a freshman and now junior year is coming to a close. And thank the lord. I've had some pleasant experiences. I made some really great friends over the years and our friendship seems to grow more and more each year. That sounds cheesey but it's true. I'm going to miss my friends once everything is said and done (after senior year.) I mean this year has been interesting to say the least.

Glee


I am addicted to this show. I absolutely love it. I love it so much that I thought I would blog about it. So, whenever I heard that this recent episode was going to be Madonna themed I was like "what? You've got to be kidding me?" In like a sarcastic tone because I'm not a real huge fan of Madonna's. I like her music and her as an artist, don't get me wrong, but I just don't like HER as a person. After watching that episode, I think I feel different about her. That episode was AMAZING!! I'm thinking about sending a video for a Glee audition. That would be like my dream come true, to be on that show. That show is incredible. The show is absolutely perfect. I think it sends a good message to high schoolers all over the country.
