Arizona

I'm finally doing something productive so I thought that I would do some posting. Tucson, AZ was the location of this year's national baton twirling championships. I was not looking forward to the weather and I wasn't disappointed. The difference between the air conditioned arena to the hallway in between the checkin area was astonishing.

Team was pretty bad. I had to get up every single day at about 5:30 because I was the alternate for every team routine that I wasn't actually doing, even for America (I hate those fake eyelashes). The junior team basically gave away their first place because of the amount of drops they had in White Bird, but second was okay, just not what we wanted. America and Sol-fa both got 5th out of 6 teams, which was really bad. Liane and Nancy definitely weren't happy.

Nevertheless, Saturday completely made up for it. Everyone was a champion in something. Teresa started the day for us because she was Set 1 and she was the first one to get a 1st. After that, at the end of the day, all of us had something to take home. Cassidy made up for her drops in her presentation last year by winning both her Beginning and Intermediate Presentation. I really regret not polishing up my illusion now because I only got second because of my horrible illusion (but anyway can't do anything about that now). I got first in solo, two baton, and duet with Teresa (we are Beginner now :D) and even with a bloody nose before my two baton. I was literally, no kidding, twirling with a bloody nose which absolutely sucked.

Now, all we have to look forward to and work for is International Cup. Australia is in 4 days!!! I'm super pissed that I'm not doing Sol-fa, but what can I do about it now...

Isn't this so cute??

Team Marathon

Yesterday the competition at Brea-Orlinda High School ended with me running across the back of the gym to join the Senior team to do another routine after just finishing another. Emily was missing so I had to fill her spot and then, I had to do my own spot on the Sol-fa routine. It was absolutely, completely exhausting, but still fun amazingly. I felt that I just finished running a marathon when I was done with both; I was breathing so hard and sweat was literally running down my face even after I wiped some away. Nevertheless, I dealt with it because when you are doing something you love, you just put up with all the things that are thrown at you.

Locking the Door

Today I just bursted out crying for no reason. Not exactly no reason, but I feel that crying was unnecessary. My stupid dad got angry at me for taking out his USB's wrong for god sake and for some reason, starts shouting at me for not giving him his computer although I was just trying to close windows and shut down. He is SOOOO annoying. Even his voice annoys me if that's even possible. (Sorry Norm you get to read my rant)

A Golden Paradise

Prom 2009 was definitely an interesting experience.

Spring Break :]

Lovely lovely spring break.... One more day! :[

No School!

Finally another no school day... I don't know how in the world I am going to survive March without any days off except weekends. The parade is coming up next week! That should be a fun, exhausting, and interesting day! :)

Grades

Hooray... Grade sheets today and final grades... We switched teachers... Laski is super loud. Parents can nag so much..

Finals

Finally!!! Finals are over!! Whohoo! :) well.. except tomorrow, but that doesn't really matter.

Well, who knew one teacher can make someone's day so horrible and make her students in her class miserable for two days straight? amazing.. *sigh*

Short and to the point ^-^

Nothing

blech

Birthdays

I forgot my mom's birthday... That was not good.. We went out to eat dinner and it was yummy :) Birthdays should be good times and making good memories. I guess today was one of those days.

Exasperating

Things that make me want to kick a wall:
1) Doing a puzzle where piece don't fit
2) When parents yell at me for no reason and say stupid things that make me want to yell right back

Things that makes me want to jump up and down:
1) Finally doing my monster neck rock right! :)
2) Putting pieces in the puzzle that fit

Homework

Homework is such a pain and there is almost no point to it except review.. ugh.. hate this...
(Norm you said short would do)

Pride and Prejudice

Basically, while I had decided to finish my homework, I didn't because I was so preoccupied with watching Pride and Prejudice, the one with Colin Firth. IT was actually really good, but SUPER long! Well, I still enjoyed it though.. and yay! It is three days in a row now

Posting

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted! 23 hours!!! That's amazing.. I haven't posted in so long and I now have two days in a row.. crazy.. oo well.. just felt like posting because it's NEW YEAR'S DAY!!! Recycling today was fun. Car rides and riding on scooters was fun too. Being a klutz isn't fun...I also realized today that watching planes write ads in the sky that also welcome the new year is pretty awesome
(wow.. I use awesome way too much now..)
