Smile and March Forward


Competitions..they are so stressing!!! Sometimes I wish I never had to go to competitions, but then that would take all the fun out of winning since there would be no winning. Competitions are the things that I practice for. They are the things I work so hard to compete in. Ask any of my friends. They are the one who have to deal with the fact that I practice like 3 days a week for at least 2 hrs. On Sunday, I have to wake up at 7, put my hair up, and make sure I'm not late so I don't have to fun laps around the gym. Practices are 6 long long long long long long long long hrs..... Well.. anyways.. going to competitions and kicking all those other teams' butts makes all of this worth it.. (and yes polarjelly you can laugh). And I have learned to get thorugh my nervousness by well just laughing it off, having a good time, even though we are competing against each other while some of us are on the same team and in the same division. That just makes it all the more fun when you beat someone that you actually know than someone whose a stranger... I know the feeling. Competitions... the joy and the stress of my life.

Shopping Craze!


Hmm.. I wonder what this post is going to be about. SHOPPING! We girls as a stereotype are like absolutely obssessed with shopping! and today is like the best day to shop! The mall are packed to the brim and if you want something awesome, you probably have to wrestle someone to the ground for it.. that's just how crazy it is! Wandering the shops when you have money is the worst torture.. You notice something so cute and you can't get it. And the next person that somes along and grabs the very same item that you have been looking at with such longing, bringing it to the counter. That is the very worst torture.
Now turn on the radio. What do you hear? Commercials, commercials and more commercials! I just heard one about Macy's telling us about their after Thanksgiving sale! They are so annoying,but without them, we crazy shoppers(girls...) would never know when there is a sale at our favorite store and we can get great things at half the price that it was before. That is the greatest thing. And right now, there are probably people riding to the mall in their cars, waiting for that shopping craze at the malll that is waiting for them.

Semifinals :D

Hooray!!! Finally! sheesh!! It took forever just to get the scores and now that I know it was not worth the wait. Our scores were like soooooooo high!! The scorers were too nice... yeesh! i did so horrid on my opening and I get a perfect.. No need to be nice since I know how bad I did. When I heard our coaches talking about how we did I got really nervous because I heard them talk about me in like stage whispers, so basically letting us hear every single word they were saying. Our team made it to Semifinals!!!!! Which is awesomeness and randomnes at the same time.. Our percentage was of 50.31% which means that the other team only lost by like 2 points. Team B, the team who didn't make it to semifianls only lost by 2 points to Dexter (ewwww...),but thank god they didn't make it to semifinals either because their percentage was too low for them to be us( since we are so awesome!). The four teams who are still left in semifinals out of 39 middle school teams are Wesley, last years champions, Sierra Canyon, the two year's prior champions, Chaminade, a ghetto college preparatory school, and then us!! There is a chance that we will go against Wesley since they didn't switch sides and are still on prosectution. We all don't seem to want to face them since they are such a *****y( figure it out yourself) school and so stuck-up. We just have to till Tuesday and see. Semifinals then Finals here we come and we are going to rock the courthouse.

Waiting :(


I ABSOLUTELY HATE waiting for anything!!! Basically, that means that I am a very impatient person. Right now, I'm waiting for our scores for Round 3 of Mock Trial to come out and they are taking forever!! I'm checking like every 5 minutes and they still aren't there. Some of us on the Mock Tiral team have also been checking since 8 o' clock this morning! Waiting is the hardest thing to do! You just can't stand there, waiting and waiting. I even hate waiting in my school lunch lines and i *cough*cut*cough* in line...obviously. So basically, i hate waiting and right now, I'm getting really frustrated that the scores won't come out!!!!!!!!

The Joys of This World

"Joy to the world the angels sing..."( I have no clue if these are even the correct lyrics). We all think of different things as "enjoyable", however, all of us (hopefully) have one thing in common. We LOVE Christmas. As the songs go( can't remember a specific one), Christmas is really the BeSt time of the year. This is the time of year we get to celebrate, party, and give and get presents. Have you ever seen the smile on someone's face when you bring the joy to their year with your present? That is something that I haven't seen. I, for one, love getting presents(greedy) but i never seem to get any! *a tear drips down my face* Every individual has their own special joy and for me, one of them is when Christmas comes to town.

Time Management


Time.. This is the one thing I'm the worst at managing. Think about it. We have a project we have to do and we prcrastinate and procrastinate and put it off till the last minute or we get distracting by the thousand more tempting things that are much more interesting than homework such as going to the mall which is having a one-day sale and im guessing that this only applies to me, but going to Borders and sitting there, reading manga as fast as I can. Time management is one of the things I seriously need to learn how to do since I need it to be able to be successful and I am aiming really high as most of my friends know. Everyone has so much to do and I always go when someone asks me do I have time hmm... I never really know what my schedule is and as I get busier, I really need to keep track of my time. Time goes by really fast or really slow, although it always depends on what you are doing, but without time management which I have learned myself, it is really hard to enjoy your day since you rushing around all over the place.

Sport of Champions


I bet your wondering what in the world is a sport of champions. Obviously it's baton twirling! Most people have no clue what that is so I'll explain. First of all, the baton that we use is a metal stick(and yes it is really metal and really hurts when it bonks you on the head) with rubber tips at the ends. You can spin it around, toss it into the air, and a lot more things, but it really hard to explain in writing. You have to experience it. Most people see them in front of a parade, a person twirling a baton in front of the band, the flag tossers and even the banner holders. It's great being in the spotlight. We even have competitions. I'm very inexperienced in solo activities, but our team won 6th place at Nationals that took place in Notre Dame, Indiana two years ago. Next year in July, my team is going to go to Daytona, Florida for a different competition. I can't wait! Baton twirling is really a sport for champions

Anime for those who don't know




Anime is the awesomest thing in the entire world! I think you can tell that I think a lot of things are awesome... Anyways.. anime is something that people get addicted to once they start. Once you start you can stop. Most animes are also based on manga sometimes called graphic novels are the book version of anime. Anime and manga both have many different types.. such as shoujo, romance, action, sci-fi, sports, drama, comedy, hentai (which is perverted in jap) and so many others that i don't feel like naming. There are so many series of anime. Some exanples would be Full Moon wo Sagashite, Ashita no Nadja, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Tokimeki Memorial, Gakuen Alice, Prince of Tennis, Code Geass, Prism Ark, Bokura ga Ita, Radnarok, Fruits Basket, La Corda D'Oro, Black Cat, Chrno Crusade, Cardcaptro Sakua, Tsubasa Chronicles, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha,and a lot lot more..I'm still addicted as the proof of the addiction of anime.. I ABSOLUTELY luv anime!

What in the world is MoCk TrIaL?!

It is the awesomest thing in the whole wide world! lolz :] We kids fake a trial, not like we really are kids. Lawyers, witnesses, clerks, and baliffs are what we become! We rock that courtroom and obliterate our opponent. Last week at the county competition, we absolutely kicked ass. At the end of the trial. the other team basically told us that they knew that they had lost. We scored 234 out of 255!! Obviously we won! No duh! And we are going to do the same this tuesday!
