smile like you mean it...
Well, well. It's been quite some time since my last update. I promised myself I'd write more when school started but it just hasn't happend yet. Everything is always so busy. Days and nights just fly by. My nights usually consist of volleyball until about 6ish, come home, eat, study/homework, or a soccer game sometimes. I try to get to sleep early but that never seems to happen until at least 11 ish at night. I really think it sucks not seeing the Bfielders at all during the week and very little on the weekend. Such a drastic change from summer. It feels like forever seeing them even though it's usually only a week. A week is a long time, but really not.
Senior year is already flying by. This week we are starting Homecoming decorations. craaaazy, but I'm extrememly excited. Our hall is going to be beautiful, if people actually help which I think they will. This is our last homecoming ever, hopefully everyone realizes that and will put in some time since they the majority haven't the past three years. maybe. Then again, those of us who seem to always do everything, we'll get it all done just fine. We'll see what goes down. Powder puff is next Sunday though. AND the Senior sleepover. If we aren't the Champs in Puff I'll be very disappointed. The senior sleepover- will be exciting if it is ever planned. I found out the other day that I'm on court for Homecoming as well. It sucks that we could only have 2 representatives from volleyball and there's 3 seniors... so we just flipped a quarter. It's going to come up fast, and go by fast too. I really am going to try and enjoy it all this year because I know it's going to be sad once it's all done.
Volleyball. Going good for the most part. We're 2-1 in Conference. Stupid KML. Such an amazing team. We played hard, but came up short. Hopefully we'll be able to take top 3 at least. We have a good shot, but everyone needs to want it as much as us seniors. Slinger is on Thursday. Everyone better be there like at the soccer game, and as loud as we were. That would be delightful. Our team was getting along just fine, but then this past week-ish we had a few minor problems. I hope everyone shapes up and stops being babies just thinking about their own selves. I think we're back on track though which is definitely a plus.
I forgot to mention my dear Sar has joined me in the adulthood! :) haha. Her birthday party downtown at John Hawks Pub and back at Steve's was too much fun, for the most part. I love having Sara in my free period seen as how it's the only time to half way catch up with each other. because we see each other never. awesome. The starbuck's runs are always enjoyable. who doesn't love that place? It's beyond me.
Proud to say my college applications are finished and were sent out last week. SUCH a relief. kinda. Gave them to Mrs. Clement and kissed them adios. It's a strange feeling. Part of me is glad, but then again there's still parts of me worrying if I got everything done right, or didn't forget an extra-cirricular activity that could influence the admissions people in accepting me or not. Or just the fact of wondering if I did well enough over the past three years of my life. Getting a letter back saying "you're not smart enough to go here" is probably going to suck. I'm convinced at least one will be sent to me, can't wait. I just had a long talk with my mom and dad. They promised the last one for a long time until all my apps are answered. It was really sad. Throughout the whole "college process" my mom and myself pretty much talked about it and toured since dad was at work. Sitting down with them talking about my future and to think about friends but not let them influence my decision turned out to be both sad and frusterating. Sad to think that if I somehow end up at Minnesota, or even St. Norbert, I won't be seeing much of my family for an entire school year. (minus the 2 or 3 breaks) While first starting the whole college search I wanted to be close to home. However, as time goes on, some of me wants to venture out. Explore new things, not go to Marquette because my brother/uncle did, but to a new place. no family "history." It's hard for me to not think about my friends. Yeah, a lot of friends are "high school" only. Sorry to say, these are going to be my "life friends." A lot of people say that, but knowing myself and my friends I'm convinced no matter what we'll stick together. Hearing my parents say how much they love all them dearly but then again "these friends very well might not be your best friends through life, this is your own life now and they might not be in it." Wrong. Pissed me off. These will be my friends forever. I just am going to have such a hard time making up my mind about college. I don't know how I'm going to leave these girls. Especially if I go somewhere alone. That'll be fun while my friends all go places together and I'm alone. Yippee.
Well now that I'm crying at my computer screen, I better go finish some homework and get some decorations ready for the hallways. Any extra red,white, orange christmas lights please bring with your name on them and they'll be returned after HC week. Also, Thanksgiving/Halloween/autumn decorations, TP rolls, TP, that would all be beneficial. All help during free period/after school from 4-6 will be GREATLY appreciated. Let's make the most of this time, it's going to go by fast!
