Remember to bring any materials that you might need to work on your Novel Study Project in class tomorrow.
Today we shall free blog. The point of the free blog is to write on any topic you wish but have it be meaningful and an insight into you. If I sense that you are not being meaningful and just rushing, I reserve the right to not give you credit.

In January i turned 16 and got my drivers license. Even though I have been driving for a little over 3 months my mom still feels the right to correct me while i am driving. The other day i drove her to a meeting and even though i could clearly see the light was red she still felt the need to tell me it was. I personally think this is a little nuts. I love my mom and i dont mind the way she drives but it really bugs me when she corrects my driving. I think since i have had drivers training within the last year that i probably know the rules to the road a little better than her because she hasnt reviewed them for awhile. I really wish she would stop correcting me and accept the way i drive. That way the car ride would be a lot less stressful for the both of us. (:
wella topic or a blog id like to do is...... about how people can sit there and be hypocrytical toward everything you do but then again they go and do the samething. like id be sitting i class and kids would be like dont do drugs but then they go and smoke and pop pills all the time. like hey if your strong enough to tell someone not to do why dont you stop. they make it sound like weed is addicting and its not, and when they do say that tthey sound stupid all weed does is make you dumb of your butt.
In the Fall I am part of the most wonderful program here at LHS, my own opinion; the Marching Band. The past two show's that I have done since I started in the MB were titled "Road Trip 2008," and "Made in the USA." I play the Alto Saxophone, and I'll be the section leader. Our show will be related to the painting called "The Scream" by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. If you have never seen the scream then look it up on Google Images. The band hasn't been that large sisce I joined in '08. I want to see a larger band than the last two seasons as well. If you want to join then talk to the band director, Mr. Green.

Today I feel depressed. The clouds are filling up the sky until not a peep of light shines through. The rain falls down and lands in puddles on the street. School dragged on today until I could barely keep my eyes open. My friends snicker and gossip about each other in the hallways. The boy I like to talk to yet again ignores me. When will this end? I arrived home to a mom who misses her son who moved away. She calls him over and over yet he doesn't answer. She fills me in on every negative aspect of her husband once again. Everything in my life seems to blur together these days. Yet I still keep my head up and wait for tomorrow.
for this evening i will be doing a current event. NFL football players are some of the most loved players in all the sports. Ben Roethlisberger a beloved player on the Pittsburgh Steelers was suspended for 6 games for being accused of rape. this is the second time he has been accused of sexual assault and it is ridiculous. i really don't get why NFL players feel the need to go do crimes because they think they can get away with it. i also don't get why they would throw away one of the best jobs on earth when they have a life most people would die for. this is the event i chose that is based on sports news.
I want to talk about summer. I have a lot of stuff going on and i am really excited about most of it. My cousin Cody moved in but is moving out for the summer and that makes me sad but i have a lot of other stuff going on too. My brother Joey lives in Lansing and i get to go see him which i am really excited about. i also have some summer clothes i am pumped to wear. I also go to Mackinac city every summer for my family reunion so i am pretty excited for this summer and hope everything turns out good and fun.

I am so excited for summer! I love the feeling in the air when it is starting to get warm out and the anticipation for summer is increasing. I always start to count down the days until school gets out. Finally, on the last day of school, it is hard to focus on your final exam. After you finish your filled with excitement. I always get sooo excited to think what I'm going to do on my first day of summer. I love having bonfires at night with my friends. We always sit around the fire and listen to good music and some of the guys will play guitar and its so relaxing. Its nice to know that we don't have to wake up early to go to school or study for a test. I'm always happier during summer, its such a relaxing and nonstressful time of the year.
For the free blog I feel the need to vent! There is a lot of stress going one right now and I feel like there is no place to escape from it all. Home is so stressful right now. There is so much drama going on and when I get to school all I think about is every little grade. With everything going on right now, I haven't been focusing in school and my grades have slipped which is very, very hard for me to handle. My grades have always been excellent but now... not so much. Then, I have an after school job which is complete and utter hell. It's not the working I hate but the people I work with. I totally love some of them but the others.. are just horrible. They're rude to everyone and just wreck the entire day. And I work a lot of days after school and always on friday, saturday, and sunday do I don't even get weekends anymore. It's always five days of school and 3 days of work, usually more though. I just want things to quit happening for a while. I feel like I desperately need a vacation away from everything.
i love photography. i started to get into it the beginning of this year after taking digital photography and learning the basics. i got a pretty sweet camera now and am taking so pretty awesome photo's. i love capturing the beauty of nature. i also like photographing cool industrial things, and old abandon places are really cool. i hope to get real good as time passes and if i could make some money through it that be cool. im realy glad i took digi photography this year because i never would have got into it otherwise.
I'm gonna vent about everything. This weekend was a good one. Sunday was frustrating because my boyfriend chooses to work on his car then hang out with me. I've started hanging out with some new friends and i'm loving how thats going. Monday turned out to be a horrible day. Every hour i would find out something new that wasn't a good thing. Some about my best friend that i'm starting to dislike. She's changed into a whole new person and i don't like it at all. Other hours i just had the day where everything was annoying me. People in the hallways are mean to each other and i can't stand it. We need some respect. Tuesday was an alright day. I can't stand going home and listening to my grandma. She's recently moved in and i love her to death but i'm easily annoyed. She's old and every question that she asks is irritating. Today, was good until 5th hour. The passing time between that class is horrible and i just don't look forward to that at all. Oh yeah, i guess i'm moving too. Sale sign goes up friday. That should be interesting. Other then that, lifes okay.
Today my softball team and i had a double header at Waterford Mott. The first game we won, 3-1, and the second game we also won, 5-1. I play the outfield and there is a lot of outfielders so i don't start. Today i only played one inning out of two games. It got me a little frustrated. I don't know what i did wrong to not be able to play. I always work hard in practice and im just as good as all the other girls. The thing that annoys me the most is that there are girls that don't even try and they play over me. The coach always say that you have to try hard and keep a positive attitude and i do that. Other girls don't try their hardest and get mad if they don't get a hit. This is just very frustrating for me because i don't know what else i can do.
I just got home from baseball. I'm on the j.v team and we split a double header tonight with Waterford Mott. We lost the first game 9-3 and won the second game 4-2. Our record so far this year is 4 and 4. We're doing very well coming together as a family and playing individually as well. There are a lot of players that have greatly progressed since last year. I'm havin a great time and am proud of where we are at and ready to play Birmingham Groves on Saturday!!
Lately I have been applying to a bunch of different places trying to get a job for the summer. I want to work on a golf course because I think that would be pretty easy. I wouldnt mind moving carts or picking up balls from the driving range. I also wouldnt care about working in the banquet hall at some of these country clubs. I just really need to get some cash flow coming in. I've applied to the golf courses around here and hopefully get called back soon.
So basically I woke up today feeling that it was going to be a good day today because I thought I looked nice and then when I got to school I just felt a big wave of stress coming on. For the rest of the day, no matter how many songs that get me pumped up I listened to, none of them worked which made me more stressed. Then when I got home from school at about 2:30 i just went straight to sleep until 5:15 when I was supposed to leave to my game in about 10 minutes. My mom and dad tried talking to me at dinner but I just wanted to eat and keep to myself because I knew if I talked I was just going to be a b***h and I would get yelled at. So I get to the JV game and when we warm up, it starts pouring rain. We have to stay there and watch the whole game until we warm up and by that time I just wanted to break down and cry. So then it's game time and in the 1st half I go out and get my first hat trick of the year :D which fired me up completely. Hartland, who we played tonight, was undefeated until tonight when we came out and beat them 14-12ish (I can't quite remember the score). I'm glad my day got a little better when my game came around because today sucked.
The tigers started off the season hot. They won 5 out of the first 6 games going 5-1. Since going on the first road trip of the season, the offense has appeared to shut down. The tigers have lost 6 out of the last 8 games and are currently 7-7. Miguel Cabrera has been smoking hot lately and is batting .364. Miguel has also hit 3 homeruns. Another reason to the tigers early success has been Magglio Ordonez. He has been hot as well batting .316 and has 5 homeruns. I hope the tigers can keep hitting and make it to the playoffs.
Yesturday after baseball practice I went to a hitting coach for a one on one lesson. There I changd my stance up a little bit. The change was to load earlier and slower. This helps me a lot because with slow pitchers I would always lung. When a batter lungs and hits the ball they don't get much power. Today at the game I went 1-3 with a groundout, flyout, and a single. My single was in the second game when it was tied 2-2 in the last inning. After I got that hit everyone else started hitting too. I almost got to bat again but we got the 3rd out when I was on deck. Overall I feel like that lesson yesturday helped out and that I will be getting a lot better hits in the future.
Over the summer i am going to fly to Arizona to visit my brother and sister, i am very close with both of them and i dont get to see them that often so im really exited to see them. When ever the 3 of us are together it is so much fun, we laugh and have a great time. we akk get along great and have a good time together. i also love going to arizona, when ever i go there to see my brother and sister we go on hikes and atuff its so much funa nd we go some where new every time and its a great adventure and we always have fun. my brother and sister are my hero's and i look up to them, it will be nice to be able to hang out just the 3 of us and not my parents there. in a way we all help each other and its really cool. i hate that they are so far a way and i dont get to see them that often so when we get to hang out its the best time ever and saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do.
This weekend my sister is going to California... I am super jealous because I always wanted to go there. There is not alot of exciting things in my life right now. I guess the most exciting is that I am turning 16 in November. Also I can not wait for the party my parents throw every summer. I get to see people that I only see once a year and it is really cool to catch up with them. I guess I can not wait til June 30th. This is because an amazing movie is coming out. Plus I get to go see it with my BFF's. They live a hour away so I do not get to see them all the time. Thats about it.
Im so ready for school to be over. Everything is just starting to feel like too much. Between school and track im always tired and i feel like i never get enough sleep. I wish there was more time in the day! That would probably be the one wish i would want to come true. I feel so pressured with school, i always get my grades up but my parents are constantly on my back about it, and they are with track as well. It just seems like my best is never good enough. The transition from middle school track to high school track still hasnt set in yet even though this is my second year in high school. I hate having a lot of competition and actualyl having girls who are better than me to run with. It wasnt like that until last year. Every time i run i get so nervous that im going to lose and it drives me insaneee! I need to go back to florida. :)
Tomorrow ill be off to Minesota for a volleyball tournament. I love leaving for the weekend to play some good volleyball with my team. What makes this weekend even better is its our last chance to earn a bid to the JO's in Reno!
National teams everywhere meet to compete for this bid and its a great opportunity to challenge yourself against the intense competition. Within the three days of play time we'll get to play ten games(hopefully more). There are eight girls on my team and everytime we leave for another tournament we come back so much closer. I just cant wait:) Go Legacy!
