Senior Pictures

This weekend my brother is getting his senior pictures done in Tucson, from one of our friends Cherise Glauser. She takes the coolest pictures, and I can't wait to see how they turn out! After swim practice,  me, my mom, and my brother are driving up to Tucson. We're spending the night, and coming back in the morning. This weekend should be fun... I guess. It would be so much better if I didn't have freaking seven World History essays to write this weekend. Darn you procrastination.

Future Children...

One thing that I will make my children do, even if they don't want to do it, is probably play piano. I won't make them do it the whole time they live with me, but I will make them try it out for a couple years. I think playing an instrument is really good for people. It's proven that people who play instruments have a certain way of thinking... haha I don't know, it's just something I've heard. I hated piano for awhile, but then I gave it a better attitude and now I absolutely love it. Everyone should be given the opportunity to try it.

Intro Video

We're finally done with filming the introduction video for the announcements... and now there is absolutely nothing to do. We can't start the announcements until all the equipment is here, and we've practically perfected the tri-caster. It's just the same thing over and over again.... I still like this class I just wish there was some fun, new, crazy project for us to do. It's just a routine...

Busy Week

This week is crazy! I have so much homework due. I have seven essays due to next Monday in World History. I feel like I'm never going to start, or finish! I feel so overwhelmed and I don't even know where to begin... This stress isn't comforting AT ALL because it is only my sophomore year! Great. I'll being doing just great my next two years in high school.

Thursday

When the heck did it become Thursday?! This week went by seriously so fast. I have so much to do, and so little time (and motivation) ! Not going to lie, I am thrilled that it is already Thursday. I love when the week goes by fast. This weekend should be really fun because tonight I get my haircut, and it is finally Thursday! You know what that means.... Perks of Being a Wallflower! I don't know if I'm going to be able to go because I have quite a lot of homework, and I have no idea if my mom will let me. Oh well, I can go sometime this weekend! Tomorrow we are having a swim party. Also, I get to sleep in because I don't have swim on Saturday. It's going to be a great weekend!

Mom

A time where I've spoken what's on my mind would be when I was talking with my mom awhile ago. My mom and I get along pretty well, but we definitely fight... We were talking and we pretty much just talked everything out. We aren't perfect now but I would say that I feel a little better with her. Even I just was bothered with her last night... oh teen and parent fights.

Perks of Being a Wallflower

The movie Perks of Being a Wallflower comes out this Friday! By that time I have to finish the book, and get tickets. I am so excited! I've been waiting for this movie for what seems like forever. Some of my favorite actors (Logan Lerman and Emma Watson) are starring in the movie so I am so stoked. Me and my sister are going to midnight premiere. WOO HOO!

Difficult Problems

Just like everyone, whenever I run into a difficult situation, all I want to do is run away. Although, I do not do that. How I usually handle it, is it's all I think about for the longest time. I go through every possible outcome, and how it would affect me. Would I be happy later? Am I making the right choice, over the easiest option?

Out of Phoenix

My most recent trip when I wasn't in Phoenix was when I went to Tempe sometime over the summer... I don't always remember when I go out of Phoenix because I go out quite a lot. My Nana and Papa live in Tempe so we visit them often. My little trip I remember most vividly right now though is when I went to ASU Main Campus with my sister this summer. We walked around campus and got her schedule all figured out. I don't think I'll ever go to ASU but their campus is beautiful! It looks super fun just to walk around for a day. They have a bookstore, and plenty of cool places just to hang out and study.

First Swim Meet

So... I haven't swam in a swim meet since sixth grade. So I'm pretty nervous for today! Also, I might be swimming backstroke. I really don't care how I do, I just don't want to completely embarrass myself. Although, I shouldn't worry about that either! I should just do my best, and forget the rest. I'll totally torture myself if I'm only worrying what other people are thinking. I'm doing this for me! No one else.

9/11

I know 9/11 was totally unexpected. I know that it was planned.
9/11 was something that was totally unfair. They killed thousands of innocent people. I feel like there was no rational thinking in their plan. I've heard that their God told them to do it. I still don't think that justifies it... I've heard some people think it does.
I also know a lot of loved ones lost their lives because of it, and that it broke a millions of people's hearts.
I know all the people who fight terrorism today are our heros.

Clone Stamp Tool

The clone stamp is used to take on section of a picture, and copy it on to another picture.

This weekend will be good.

Rain is always so fun at school for some reason! Rain is already amazing but I just love it at school... Friday+Rain= Great Day. I just know.
So this weekend is going to be grand! Tomorrow is $8.95 all-you-can-eat pasta at Olive Garden! I'm for sure making an apperance there... Will you tell me who wouldn't?! It's amazing.
Saturday night is my friend Jenetta's surprise birthday party! Shhh! I'm so excited! This is also a success because she has no idea.

Discipline

Discipline is receiving consequences for your actions... or I would think that it can be taking responsibility for you, and what you need to do.

Without discipline, I feel like you will have no motivation and self responsibility. If you can't think ahead, and come to terms with what you really need, then I don't know how far you are going to go. With discipline you can take charge, and make smart decisions.

Mask

Masks on photo shop allow you to combine two pictures by having two pictures (or layers) sitting on top of each other. You can change the mask itself with the marker and eraser tools.

To do cross country, or not...

My cross country is  pretty intense for a high school sport. He is an okay person, but we definitely have some personality differences... He is always especially harsh on me and my brother on the rules and regulations. Yesterday, he kicked my brother off the team. This whole season I really have been hating cross country. I've been trying to like it, but he puts way too much pressure on me... My parents were really upset that brother got kicked off the team, so they are letting me decide if I want to keep doing it. I honestly don't want to, but I feel like I'm letting my team down. Today after school I am going to swim practice to try it out, but I'm nervous I'm going to hate that too! Ughhh I really don't know what to do right now...
