Getting somewhere...

Tonight I had my last dance recital for the year! I got some exciting news! I am officially a teacher at my dance studio (instead of an assistant) starting in 2 weeks! Lesson learned:Never do anything your parents told you not to do! I learned this the hard way today! If you do something you are told not to something will happen and you will get caught somehow! I didn't really have anything to talk about so just thought I would share some exciting news! :)

Jumping on the bandwagon...

While being sick and stuck at home all day I accomplished absolutely nothing. I spent my day watching The Voice on hulu and listening to music. All of my friends were in love with Scotty McCreery when American Idol was on and I decided to see why they loved him so much. After spending about 30 minutes watching recaps from American Idol I must now say that I have jumped on the band wagon and fallen in love with Scotty! I also watched videos of Patrick Thomas from The Voice...I don't know what it is about country boys but there is something about them that I fall in love with! This week is a very busy week, I have exams starting Friday, cheer practice Friday after school, a dance recital Friday night, I am going to graduation on Saturday, a party Saturday night, and hopefully finding time to finish my english exam Sunday since it is due Monday. You would think I would have finished the exam today with all of my free time, but I am a huge procrastinator. I didn't really have anything to talk about today except for the fact that I fell in love with two people that I don't know and have no idea who I am. I have to go to dress rehearsal for my recital...which is the last thing I want to do today. :(
Until next time...

To dance or not to dance?

Looking back on the last 14 years of my life I have realized my schedule has consisted of dance and school. Is this what I really want in life? I have been thinking about what my life would be like if I didn't dance, spent time with friends, and made time to relax and not worry about anything. I have thought long and hard and I can not decide whether dance is something I want to continue doing. Somedays I feel if I don't dance I will die, while other days I don't even want to look at the studio. I feel left out of a lot of things my friends do because I am so involved in dance, and I think is this the life I want for myself? I feel if I quit dance I just gave up 14 years of my life, but I also feel I will be much happier. I want to always be able to tell my friends I can hang out whenever, but with dance I can only say "let me check my schedule, it may be a few weeks." I tried out for varsity cheerleading at WHS a couple of weeks ago and made it. I decided to cheerlead and take 2 or 3 dance classes next year to try and decide what I really want to do. I have always wanted to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader when I was in college like my mom. I have wanted this since I was 6 and I don't want to give up on my dream, but if I quit dance trying out is out of the question. I went back to ballet at the beginning of sophomore year and realized how much I missed from just taking a of couple years off of ballet and if I quit dance all together I don't want to see how much more I would miss. So...to dance or not to dance?

1 more day!

Well, it has been a long time since I have written anything! I just got home from Orlando, Florida for Spring Break! My friend, Courtney, and I went to Universal for a week. We are supposed to go back to school on Monday, but while I was gone I received news that my sister is going to have her baby Monday morning! Brayden is breech so she has to have a c-section. The whole family is driving to Mooresville tomorrow to spend the night with her so we can all go with her to the hospital when she has the baby! Unfortunately, we all have to drive home Monday afternoon due to school and work. Hopefully on the weekends we will go to stay with her and help out when we can. I am also going to spend the summer with them so my sister can go back to work and I will babysit during the day! I am so excited to finally see Brayden's face in person and not through an ultrasound! That is all for now!! :)

Less Than a Week Until School Starts!

School is starting next Wednesday...and to say the least, I am not very excited! This summer has been very busy and has flown by. I have gotten to go to the beach with my friends and spend time with family. Last Saturday I auditioned for a musical and got a part as a featured dancer! For the past week or so I have been working at a dental office with my mom shadowing since I want to be an orthodontist. I got to go see my 7th/8th grade teacher yesterday! I have not seen her in a while, but she was in town and about to have her baby so I decided to go visit! I also had an orientation at my school last night since we got a brand new high school and a lot of stuff is changing! It looks like first semester will be pretty busy considering almost all of my academics are first semester. Freshmen year of high school flew by last year and I loved it because I do not really like school, but I have gotten to thinking and I am not really ready to be out of high school yet. I am going to take it as slow as possible and not start wishing my life away.

So there is now about three and a half weeks left of school! I have two and a half weeks left of dance at one of my studios and three and a half weeks left at the other. I am being worked to death and about to fall over. There is so much going on right now between rehearsals, homework, and work. Since I have recitals coming up not only do I have class every night but I have to practice at home too! This is when I am glad that our classes are now split up and I don't have four academics at one time. I am praying a lot right now to help me get through these busy times; but it is great to have my wonderful friends who help relieve the stress. Looking back at old pictures and e-mails from my best friend always make me smile even when I am sad or too stressed to think. I thought I would share one that she wrote while we were goofing off at the college while waiting for her grandparents to get off work.
It turns out Harold's not a Jedi
ASK ME NO MORE QUESTIONS TELL ME NO MORE LIES!!!!! Why does Chinese food always seem to taste better in front of the computer?... If you don't tell me I will be tempted to unleash the one legged space chickens!!!!!!!!! and you really need to get on watering the plastic flowers at your big toes wedding!!!! you should have known all along that you cant make friends with salad. Next election if you need some persuasion i'd vote for Benard Cribbins!! PALO PALO PALO PALO BENITO PALO EY I I I PALO BENITO PALE EY = SINCO de MAYONNAISE!!! you know pork chops taste better in the toaster!!! You've just been busted, cold dusted, hot dog, with mustard!!
We also used to tell her grandparents that we had to be at specific places at a very specific time and make it seem really suspicious...let's just say we liked to make trouble! But they would take us where we wanted to go no matter how suspicious we seemed! Good times...good times! I love her to death...we have been friends for almost 13 years...and what a long 13 years it has been! Always cherish the memories you have and look forward to the ones you will make! The friends who grew up with you deserve a special respect. The ones who stuck by you shoulder to shoulder, in a time where nothing was certain, all life lay ahead, and every road led home.

A day in my life!

So best friend...lets call her Bobina and I have many wonderful times together! One of the best happened a few days ago. I was just informed that my teacher was substituting her class while the student teacher from my class taught us. Little did I know when this happened Bobina had a conversation with my teacher about me. She asked him if i was the quiet one who sits in the corner in a fetal position rocking back and forth during class. Oh..wow...how I love Bobina!! More of our amazing stories will be coming soon!
