Prom...again

So the week of prom is finally here after counting down the days for weeks and getting ready and finding that perfect dress…which I have to say I found with like 3 weeks till prom and was freaking out because I thought that there was going to be nothing left for me to find. But when I went to the original store that I started my search on I found the perfect dress…even though it’s a dress that I would have never seen myself in, but I love it anyway. I am going in a group with one of my best friends and it’s just going to be a small group because we don’t want to deal with all the drama on a night that we are supposed to want to have fun and remember those fun times, and we don’t want to have to forget all the drama that could have happened, because I think that if a group of people are just thrown together that at some point there is going to be drama inside that group, and that’s just something that anyone doesn’t want to happen especially on a night that is as big as this one. I am really excited for this weekend with all the things that I am going to be doing that day. With hair and nails, oh and having softball practice that morning for like an hour and half and hopefully having enough time to get nails and stuff done before my friend and I go to my moms friends house to get our hair done. Which I am totally freaking over because I have absolutely no idea on what my hair is going to look like or what I want to do to it. I don’t know if I want it up or down. I know for a fact that I am not going to have it curled because my just isn’t the type of hair that stays curly for long, and I don’t want to have to spray hairspray on it every 5 minutes because that will get old pretty fast. But I guess this all comes with the experience of prom and what it has to offer. It’s not like any other dance though it’s the last dance of high school for seniors and it’s a really formal thing, and of course I want everything to go perfectly so I can look back and say that I really enjoyed that weekend and that finally formal dance as a high school student.

Moving Forward

So has senior has been coming closer and closer to an end finally, I have realized that school right now at this moment just isn’t really going good at the moment. I not saying that I’m failing any classes because I’m not…just the concentration level that I have right now just is really the best. I think at this point in the year that my level of actually getting things done ahead of time or keeping on top of assignments is just not the best. I’m getting them done, but at the slowest rate ever, or I’m getting them done the night before and starting them at like 9 and getting them done at like 10:30, which I have never really done before, but until now I think that’s the only way that I could get something done is doing it the night before it’s actually do, which I’m not going to lie I’ve done multiple times before and have been doing it all throughout my high school career. I mean what student in high school doesn’t procrastinate at some point in high school. I guess there could be people that like to have things done way before they are actually due…but right now I don’t really have that kind of motivation for doing things right now. And I think it’s the combination of having things to do after school with sports and getting ready for prom this weekend, which I have to say that I’m still not ready for and it’s in like 2 days, which I am totally pumped for. Also it’s the combination of having softball practice after school till like 6 and then just not feeling the best either. Then getting distracted by something else…and just things like that make me the biggest procrastinator ever especially right now. But I am really excited to be finally done with high school. With the 8 or less days that are left I think I’m going to kind of miss what was going on in high school. I think I’m especially going to miss the Friday night football games, and going to state for different sports. But I guess eventually everyone has to graduate and move onto another chapter in life, and I really excited to start that new chapter of college. With the moving into a new place and being independent, which I think for me is going to be kind of hard, I mean I can do things on my own that’s not the problem I think it’s the more responsibility aspect of it. Like paying for different things like I’m going to have to pay for my cell phone, and groceries and things like that, that I have depended on my mom to get for me and I think eventually it will get easier but I think at the beginning it will definitely be a challenge but I think I ready to move onto the big world of college, and being on my own.

Softball begins...

So yesterday was Monday obviously, which I have to say is the worst day of the week for the fact that it’s the beginning to a new school week and the next weekend is that much farther away. Also yesterday was the first practice for softball. Which I have to say was kind of hard because of the fact that haven’t really done that much stuff with softball drills for a while and I think it might take me awhile to get back into the groove of the drills but I don’t really think that it will take me that long to finally get where I need to be. But this I hope it’s going to be a good year and it’s a fresh start. Everyone starts with a 0-0 record and everyone is on the same level record wise. Teams might be rated but that doesn’t really mean that they can’t be beat. Believe me I have had plenty of occasion where I have pitched and won a against a team that has gone to state multiple years in a row, and have won against a team that has a pitcher that might be one of the top in the state, and have been able to win the game with them not scoring any runs. I think that those kinds of wins really boost confidence. It somewhat shows you that even though they might have a really good pitcher or a really good team in general that the can’t be beat but they can, and that’s they best feeling in the world when it’s you that are the ones to beat them, especially when you have kind of had a little bit of a rough outing with games, it’s a real confidence booster. Especially for the whole team and not just one player. I mean when a whole team goes into a game that they think won’t even happen for them, and then they come out with a win it makes the whole morale of the team go way up. That happened to us last year multiple times. Once when we played Solon, which is a softball team that has a monster power of its own. They have been to state multiple years in a row, they have intense pitching and there batting is ridiculously good. But even though we kind of thought that we were going to go into this game and that we were probably going to get beat, but yet we still had somewhat of a chance, and the come out with a win of beating them by 3 it’s was a good day because that tournament we when 4-0 and made it to the championship game again same as the year before and played the exact same team that we did that year in the championship game and this year we were the ones that came up with the win. And for me as a pitcher of that game, at the beginning in came into the game going thinking oh jeeze this game is going to be tough…because while warming up for the game I wasn’t really that confident in my pitching at the time and was scared that it was just going to go down the drain and they were going to score like 10 runs in the first inning or something like that, but I realized after awhile that even though my warm up pitches were not the best that my pitches were actually working when I thought that they were never going to work. I think that was the most exciting and intense game I have to say of the entire season. I think those are the kinds of games that I learn from. Like realizing that even though a team can be that could they still can be beat. I also think that those are the kinds of a game I grow stronger as a pitcher and that’s what I like about the game of softball, things that are totally unexpected can happen especially when they are for the better. This year is a new year and I’m excited about what it has to bring.

Graduation...again

So I don’t really know what to blog about this week. Last week I had actually had in mind what topics I wanted to write about, and I have to admit they were kind of boring topics. I think I was just trying to fill in the blog requirement which I am behind on. But maybe I’ll write about graduation again because at this moment it’s the best topic to write about because it’s so close. There are give or take 18 days till the big graduation ceremony, which to be completely honest there is a part of me that isn’t that excited for the fact that we have to sit in seats for like 3 hours and listen to speeches and bands playing the choir sing and what not and that’s the only part that I’m not looking forward to for the fact that I’m not the kind of person that can listen to people talk for long periods of time, which for me is a bad deal because I’m going to be dealing with that next year in college, I guess I’ll have to find some way that I can stand it. But anyway, that’s the only part of graduation that I’m not looking forward to. But I am excited that it’s finally coming closer to that big day, which begins a new chapter in my life which is college. And I’m not gonna lie and I am pretty nervous to finally be moving out of the house. Because I am an only child and I think that it will be the hardest on my mom considering I am an only child. I am going to be moving out of the house and doing things on my own from that point on. With things like cleaning and shopping for myself which I don’t really think I’ll have a problem with because I do a lot of those things right know anyway, but then there comes to things like paying bills and things like that. I just don’t really think that my mom is ready to except that I’m growing up, and I have come to that point where I’m leaving the house. I think she thought that it would taking longer than she thought it would, I don’t think that she expected it to come up this fast. But I think I’m ok with finally moving out and heading to college, I have really been looking forward to this since the beginning of senior year of finally moving out and heading off to college which everyone eventually does. But I really hope that these finally weeks go pretty quick which I think that they will because there are a lot of things in between now and the day of graduation.

Softball...it's almost here

So as the school year finally comes to a close (thank goodness)…Well for seniors at least it ends early…This event of school coming closer to an end also marks something that’s exciting to me at least, and that’s the beginning of softball practice. Waiting for that day is getting closer and closer, and I couldn’t be more excited for it. I have been playing softball basically since I was like 5 or 6 starting with T-Ball of course and then working my way up to coach pitch, and then I began to do an ASA league through Kennedy and that’s how I got started pitching. I think I have been pitching for like 6 or 7 years; I started off slow and not know what to do, and just doing it for fun. Then one tournament in Solon, the coach put me in pitching, I was pretty scared but at the same time excited, and think I got all three outs by myself. And then as ASA ball went on I got more serious and serious about pitching, practicing whenever I could and going out the field and practicing. Then when I finally got to high school, the summer of my 8th grade year I finally was on the high school level for softball and I was excited, I did pretty well I think. But then my freshman year I was on Varsity and I going to admit that I was terrified because of course we compete with all the teams that have gone to state multiple times and it was kind of intimidating, and that year was also the year that we had gotten a new coach, that actually came from one of the schools that we compete against, and it got kind of annoying when he was our coach because of the fact that he always everyday of practice had to say something that referred to the school across the river…meaning Jefferson, and its like we thought well if you like so much then why don’t you got back…everyone one the team after the second year that he was there thought that we didn’t like him at all. And of course as soon as he resigned we were all excited that he wasn’t coming back…and where did he go….back to Jefferson…which wasn’t surprising at all because he talked about them so much that we thought that he missed it and wanted to go back, and wanted to change our program into a mini version of what Jefferson was and we got tired of it after awhile…anyway off topic. Pitching became my life in the off season…At the end of my freshman year of softball I had begun to start working with a pitching coach in the off season…meaning all winter once a week I would go to sports zone and throw for like an hour…and that’s were I got better and was able to also gain so pitches and got more speed and worked on my mechanics to become a better thrower, and I think that I was lucky that I was able to get a pitching coach to help me get better because I honestly don’t know where I would be as a pitcher if I didn’t have a coach to help me with what I was doing wrong and helping me fix it, and also I would have the pitches that I do right now and I m excited for that because the pitches I have now I think have made me a pretty successful pitcher.

Prom....

So the day till prom seems to be getting closer and closer as I know it. And it’s pretty exciting and at the same time some what of a sad moment because prom is the ending dance to all the high school dances and it’s one of the biggest…for seniors at least for the fact that it is the last dance of our high school careers. So last weekend my mom and I finally had the time to get to go shopping for prom dresses, and I know im thinking what the heck am I doing shopping for a prom dress with probably a little less than a month till prom and I don’t have a dress…I was freaking out being like what if there aren’t any dresses left and what if they don’t have what I want and what I thought that I was going to get. So my mom and I, last Saturday went on a prom dress road trip. Our road trip and search started in the town of Boone. And why Boone, well there was a store or shop or whatever you want to call it there that carried the brand of dresses that I wanted to get. But just my luck the store was crappy compared what the website that I looked at, it seemed to be better, or I thought that I would find the dress that I would wear to prom there, but I was so wrong. We got there and the people that were working there just looked at us like what the heck are you doing here and why are you here, it was the most awkward moment of my like I thought. So I tried on some dresses but just has my luck would have it nothing. Then as we were leaving, it was that same awkward moment of the what the heck are you doing here. So after that disaster my mom thought that since we were so close to Des Moines, where I originally started my search for my prom dress and found nothing, we went back to that same store. I searched through the same dresses that I had gone through the week of spring break. As I was looking I found the same dress that I had tried on that same week and was excited because I really wanted that dress. But as I found that dress and found others that I could try on, one of the people that were working gave me a dress that I thought was the ugliest thing that I had ever seen in my life. It was a dress that I thought I would never ever in my life get…I tried it on and thank goodness I didn’t like it. But then she gives me another dress and of course I think it’s the ugliest dress ever, but then when I tried it on and look at through a mirror I thought oh my god I think I have found my dress….the person that was helping me forced me to try on this dress that I thought are you serious this thing is ugly, something that I would never try on or even were for that matter. But when I tried it on and looked at through a mirror I loved it. And after my mom had paid for I thought oh my god I just got a dress that I thought I would have never had gotten if this lady didn’t tell me to try it on. It was a poofy dress and it was also pink, two things that I thought I would never put together. A poofy dress which thought I would never get because I didn’t at all no exceptions would get a poofy dress because of the fact I didn’t want to look like Barbie. And the fact that it was pink was fine with me because the original dress that I tried on was pink and that was fine with me….but the fact that I had just gotten a poofy dress…I was in shock because that was one of the things that I didn’t want, but with the dress that I got it changed my mind.

Graduation...again

So since the day till graduation is starting to become closer and closer and many of us seniors are starting to or have already began to plan out graduation party plans. Except for me. I know I’m think to myself that I really need to get on the ball with this whole graduation party thing, because graduation before I know it is going to be here an I’m going to have a party that family members and friends can come to and see what I have accomplished over my high school career and earlier. I’m thinking holy crap I really need to get going with the plans for my graduation party, since there is so much to plan with the whole graduation party thing. To me kind of I think I graduation party is something that you have to have. It shows that you have finally made it passed the next big step of your life and that you are now going to be making an even bigger step, with moving on to college. But I mean it’s kind of a stressful thing to plan. You have to have the right place to hold the event and have the right food and invite all the people and make all the invitations and send those out.
The hardest part I think for me is going to be figuring out when I’m going to have it. I don’t know if I should have it the weekend of graduation, (which I’m thinking is a good idea) but the thing with that is, that everyone that I know for the most part is going to have their party on that Saturday or Sunday, and it’s like if I also another person that has their’s that day than how many people are actually going to come to mine with they have other people’s to go to. I mean people don’t really have to stay for that long, but its like there are so many that weekend and they are all at the same time and its going to be hard to figure out which ones you can make, and which ones that you might not make it to. I mean not everyone that I am going to invite has to come to mine, I totally would understand if they cant make it, but it is really crazy to see how many people are having it that weekend. I thought about having it the weekend after but that option is thrown out already, because my dad is having my graduation party for me because my parents are separated and I think that two parties would be to much to handle, and I bet people would think why wouldn’t you have two parties you get more money and presents and stuff like that with two parties, but then I would have to plan a second party and that would be such a hassle to both me and both my parents. So I decide to have just one. Then the other option for a party date would be two weeks after graduation when all the parties and things have settled down, but it’s like I cant wait that long, it’s to long to wait to have a party at that time. So I guess I am going to have to go with the weekend of graduation which is going to be crazy but I guess I’ll have to deal with it. I’m just excited to graduation and finally be done with high school, and get on with another chapter of my life.

Spring League Begins

So it’s that time of year that some summer sports are beginning to practice. Like baseball and softball for example. Well I play softball and we began practice and along with those practices we also began a thing called spring league, were teams from around that area get teams together and play like scrimmages, they don’t really count for anything there just like pre-season games. It’s tiring sometimes and still cold, because sometimes it’s not quite warm enough to play outside, but we still have to. Sometimes I’m not the biggest fan of spring league for the fact that we have practice like 3 or 4 times a week and not every player that we think is going to be there is there.
Not everyone plays though so the ones that don’t go out for spring league don’t have to be there, but the ones that do are the ones that go to the practices. I mean I sometimes like playing spring league because it gets me back into the groove of things to come for summer when are actually playing for real. I like the fact that I get to practice getting my swing for batting better and hopefully with that little extra practice I will improve my batting average and get more hits this summer than I did last year. I mean I got plenty of hits, but definitely think that I could have gotten more. It also helps me get back into the groove of pitching against hitters again. Because all winter I had pitching indoors and didn’t really have batters that I could pitch to, to see where my pitches would go when there was a batter standing in the box.
The spring league is also a good way to see what the upcoming freshman (8th graders) are going to play like, and what kind of skills that they have, and how they are going to handle the more fast pace game. Since they are used to like 14 and under year olds pitching to them, because compared to that kind of league everything is faster paced and they have to be ready for that. Even if they play on like JV or fresh/soph. those teams are a little bit more competitive than what they are used to, and I think that if they participate in the spring league than they can get a little taste of what is to come when it comes to high school softball.
There is one downside to having eighth graders going out for spring league. It is the fact that they don’t really know what to expect when it comes to what kind of softball high school level is. And I mean I should give them a break because they don’t know what to expect, but sometimes it frustrates me because instead of practicing and getting better they would rather mess around in practice and talk, and not practice on getting better with like batting or something. They would rather mess around with a drill and not make it serious and get it right, or do it well the first time, and I mean I’m not saying that some days that’s what I’m but I know what the drills are like and I know without asking sometimes what I’m doing wrong or what I need to correct. I mean sometimes I do mess around but usually I’m concentrated on what I’m doing at the same time so I get it right and that I don’t have to fix it later, I can fix it now. But there learning about what it’s going to be like and hopefully they can get everything out of it.

Something random

So this week I really have no clue what I’m going to write about but I think I might have an idea. So this past Monday it was opening day for major league baseball, and you might think a girl being so concerned with major league baseball and yea I kind of am but I’m like a super fan, I just enjoy watching my favorite team, or whatever team happens to be playing on TV. that day. Usually I don’t really care what teams are playing, but I do have a specific team that I like to follow from time to time. The chicago cubs. I honestly don’t know why I started liking the cubs, my moms asks me that every time I think I watch it, and every time she asks me I answer with an I don’t know, I just like them.
I started watching the cubs like always this past summer. Everyday when I would come home from softball practice or whatever I had that day; I would turn on the TV to see if they were playing which usually they weren’t because it was still early in the afternoon to late evening, but anyway. If they weren’t on when they got I home I usually got to catch a few innings when it was on and try to watch as much as I could before I had to go to practice in the afternoon, or before I had to head back to school to get some pre-game batting practice in, before a game or before traveling to Iowa City or Waterloo, or where ever we had to go that week for an away game. In the summer practices don’t really go that long so if the game that was on for that day was a late night game I usually got to catch some of the innings or the whole game.
I was actually excited for baseball to start because that means that softball also beginning to start up again, with the pre-season games and practices that we have and all the things that are involved with softball, even though it’s hard work and I dread doing it every other day, it makes me excited that, that day getting even close with every day that passes till the first practice and then till the first game. So finally opening day began and I was excited, because for awhile I was waiting to be able to start watching the games on TV again, instead of the spring training games, which to me aren’t that exciting because they are just spring training games, though they are important because of the fact it kind of shows what the teams might look like before the actually season starts. This year while watching some of the spring training games, I was kind of nervous. I thought that the cubs might not be as good as they were last year, or might not have as good of a season as they did last year, and last year was a good season with them being division champions, but yea I think that this season might just be as good as last I only hope. So it’s like what my mom asks me about liking the cubs, just don’t know why I like them I just do, it doesn’t really make that much sense but oh well.

The summer to come

So with there only being like less than 40 days left until it’s the last for seniors, each one of those days seems to crawl. The days seem like more hours at school than we are actually here, and the weekends seem like they are only days at a time. Spring Break went way faster than I thought that it would go, because I thought that since I was actually doing stuff and not just sitting at home that it would actually not got as fast as usual but I was wrong, that fact that I was actually doing something made it go that much faster and that really stunk. I really wish that spring break was longer than a week just because it seems like there’s really no time to do anything fun, it might seem like that a week is plenty of time but if you really think about it, it’s not. If you think about it, if you go on a trip somewhere and you fly you spend 2 days one at the beginning of the trip and one at the end flying on a plane to get to where ever you are trying to get to so really you only have like 3 days or less to actually enjoy the vacation time that you have planned out. And the fact that spring break is so close to when seniors actually get out of school it’s makes it that much harder (at least for me) to actually want to get up in the morning and make that drive to school and have to actually do something and participate, meaning senioritis is really kicking in and the fact that it’s really close to getting out of high school for good makes it that much worse. Also it’s the beginning of starting to figure out summer plans. With vacations and beginning to make the big transition to college, with signing up for classes and that one day comes of moving into the dorms. Before I know it college classes are going to begin and that long summer is going to seem like it was only a few days. Because I mean, my summer is going to jam packed with things. Like softball, and vacations to Washington and possibly Canada, and possibly a trip for two weeks to Texas, believe me I really think that this summer is going to go faster than any other summer that I’ve ever had. I the summers I have go faster than ever before, because of participating in softball, and then like last year summer practices with volleyball, but with me being a senior this year that’s not really part of my summer this year, which means I have just a little bit longer to actually have a summer for a change since softball takes most of the that from me, and of course that’s when I’m going to be doing the most of my traveling. I honestly think that in all the summers I will probably have never traveled this much combined than how much I’m going to be traveling this summer, I thought about it and it seems like that I don’t really know how long I’m going to be home after softball season ends, because of those trips, but hey I’m not complaining.

Go UNI Go

So March madness has finally began officially today. With the first round beginning today and the many games that are all scheduled today there is one team that I hope to do well in the tournament. That is the Panthers of UNI. I know that they might not make it as far as say UNC but hey at least they made into the tournament. They face off today against Purdue, who both them and UNI are successful teams and their records are not that far apart the only thing that really separates the records are like 3 games. Even though there have been many accounts in the past NCAA tournaments that the number 12 team always has an upset against a higher ranked team, I think that this game will be a close one, hopefully for me with an outcome of the panthers moving onto the second round of play. Why UNI? Well I have basically been following UNI teams pretty much my entire life with my dad being a graduate of the university; I have gone to many different sports ranging from football to wrestling. And I have been going to football games with my dad since I was like 9, and it’s to go, because it’s a fun experience to see how into some of the fans get into the game. I’m not going to lie have found myself getting pretty excited as well, but sometimes it my dad that out shines me when it comes to the whole excitement thing. I’m not saying that he is a crazy super fan or anything like that but he does sometimes get carried away. But any way back to basketball. The only thing that I don’t like about the games that happen during the day is that some teachers like to put the games on and some choose not to, so it’s hard to get updates on what’s going on with what team. So I’m hoping that they can pull through one of those lower ranked upsets and pull through a win and be able to move onto the second round, that would be something to see.

Spring Break

So it’s getting down to the wire and the last few days till finally we are away for a week of no school for spring break. And that’s exciting because it means that I am that much closer to finally graduating and finally finishing high school for good. But then it opens a whole other chapter to my life and that is preparing myself for college and the four years that I have to spend there. With bigger class sizes and the different types of classes that are offered their. Also the experience of going to college games, not that I haven’t been to one before, just that it will be as a college student and that I will experience it in a different light. But the fact that spring break is so close is really exciting because this year I’m actually doing something for a change instead of staying in cedar rapids the whole entire week and doing absolutely nothing and being bored out of my mind while other people around me are doing something for their spring break. I mean it’s no where major where I’m going it’s just a two hour drive with some friends to the big city of Des Moines, nothing major right, but hey I see it as doing something different for a change rather than just staying at home and doing nothing. I like going to Des Moines because it’s a totally different city than Cedar Rapids is. The shopping is way better there are more stores to choose from and there are more things to do there rather than in Cedar Rapids and I like that it’s a change from everyday life here in CR. Even though I’m only planning on going for a few days it will be a change to what I’ve been doing for every single spring break since I’ve had spring breaks, its nothing that special but I think it will be a fun couple of days to relax.

Graduation

So third term has finally started and I have finally realized even though I have basically been counting down the days till graduation and till the day that it’s the last for seniors and I couldn’t be more excited because the days are becoming more and more less till the day that I am finally done with my high school career, and that’s the best thing to think about. But then im kind of scared with graduating I don’t know why, because I should be overwhelmed with excitement of the day that I get to walk across the stage and get my diploma and that will be the day that my high school career is finally over. Also another thing that comes around to tell us seniors that are days of high school are finally ending is the big dance of prom, which makes graduating that more exciting because its even closer to the actual day that we actually are done with high school. But there is one thing that really stinks about being a senior, is the fact that as that days are counting down closer and closer to graduation, senioritis really kicks into gear. When you have senioritis you don’t want to do anything, you don’t want to do your homework and study for tests even though that’s the thing that’s most important thing for your classes, but you still don’t want to do anything, you want to be lazy and sleep in and don’t even want to walk into the front doors of the school and just sit there before school even starts because that makes it that much worse. Third term beginning doesn’t the fact of senioritis because the days till graduation and the day that seniors are finally done with high school, and from graduation on it’s the beginning of summer vacation for seniors and I am really wanting the days to go by faster. But there is one down side with the excitment of graduation, and that is the planning of the oh so exciting graduation party. All the planning of the locations and which invitations your going to use. Who im going to invite to the actually party itself, with all the relatives and all the other people ive that are included in that list of people that are invited. And of course the all important question of what kind of food to have at this celebration of graduating. Thats the big question mark, because there are so many options to have, am i going to go with the tradition of what everyone else has at there graduation party or am i going to be unique and have something that no one else is going to have. Its a tuffy, but i think i have awhile til i actually have to really start planning the graduation party.

Okay so this week we have to write about blogging…which I think pretty much I think I’ve written about every week since we have been blogging…but not very week…I don’t really know what I think of blogging yet because I haven’t really been doing it that long…but I think in some ways it’s a good thing because you can get what you think about things down and you can express yourself with to words…its like a modern version of writing a diary kind of. It’s hard to get ideas for topic but when you do get a good one then you can write it down and get a lot of stuff written down about it and you can voice an opinion about it. But personally I don’t really like it because I don’t really know what to write about sometimes and that’s were it gets hard because being able to write about something is different from when you are able to have a topic in your mind that you can write enough about…that’s kind of hard because there’s only so much that I can write about or think about writing about and writing about something every week that’s hard because there are only so many topics that I can write about…but yea blogging I think is something new that I have learned and if people like it than they can blog but I don’t really know if i’m the biggest fan of blogging and I don’t really know if ill do it in the future I don’t think I will but anyway.. What the hardest part of blogging is getting the amount of words that’s assigned all written down and getting so many blogs posted…and yea that’s really my opinion on what I think of blogging.

Random Stuff

This week I think was kind of hard in a way to work on blogs because I had not idea what I was going to write about and it stunk, but then I was like ok maybe Ill just write about this and it will be good enough or long enough of a topic to write about and it would be all good. But then I thought about what I was going to write about for the second part of the week that we were going to blog and I had no idea about what I was going to write about, and I still don’t, so im rambling on and on about what to write about and its kind of boring. And last time I wrote about something I actually liked what I wrote about, because I actually knew what I was going to write about and I thought about what it was going to be about and I actually figured out that it was a good topic even though it was totally random and didn’t really make sense to me but my blog title is stuff and I think that the blog that I wrote on Tuesday totally applied to the title of my blog.
Ok so I think ill take about some of the songs that have come out recently which I have to say I have many new songs that I definitely have to add to my play list on my ipod because there that good, and I really haven’t had the time to really put them on my ipod, because my computer was getting fixed which totally stunk not have my laptop for like half a month, because the motherboard whatever that means was being replaced an had to be sent to the plant of where my computer was made and it totally stunk trying to write papers and stuff like that on my moms computer, because I was so used to typing and stuff like that on my computer, and my computer has totally different software and icons and stuff like that than my computer has so it was some what difficult to work without my computer, and all of my updated songs are on my computer and since I didn’t have my computer I could do anything and it stunk. I really have to say that this blog entry was the most random that I have ever written because it has nothing to do with anything and its really weird, and I think that’s what happens when I don’t think of topics head off time, so from here on out it think im going to have to decide ahead of time on what things Im going to write about for this blog. THE END

Superbowl Stuff

This year the superbowl was what I thought that it was going to be boring and uneventful. I thought that the cardinals were going to get beat seriously bad…but I was totally wrong. I actually enjoyed watching it. I was really surprised that the cardinals actually held up to the Steelers. At the end it was actually a good game, but then that one pass turned it all around. It was a good pass and catch for that matter and totally changed everything that had happened in that one 15 minute quarter. The score changed and the leader flipped, which I thought would have never happened, but once again I was wrong. There was like 2 minutes or something like that left in the 4th. Then the Cardinals got an extra two points due to a safety…Then what would turn out to be the last drive of the game for them, and it was a scoring drive at that. This put them on top by 3. But then there was still enough time for the Steelers to come back and win the game…and that’s exactly what happened. They scored, and that won them their record setting 6th superbowl championship. And this was a good game to watch, and I’m glad that I did.
Usually I’m not the biggest fan of pro football, but on occasion I will watch a game or two. I also don’t really watch the superbowl, I mean I will watch it, but I don’t usually pay attention, but this time I definitely did pay attention. I usually watch the superbowl for the commercials which to me are my favorite part of the whole superbowl to begin with. In the past the superbowl commercials have been good. There were many that were funny and fun to watch, and then there were some that weren’t so fun to watch. But this year I was kind of disappointed and upset to see that there weren’t that many good commercials on, and that’s what I look forward to the most when watching the superbowl is the good commercials. I mean don’t get me wrong there were some commercials that I enjoyed watching, but they didn’t come till the mid to end of the game and that stunk, because I had to sit and watch all the commercials that weren’t the best, or they were movie trailers which I thought that this year there were a bunch of those, but when the good commercials did come on the were ok and I enjoyed watching them, but overall they were ok….if I were to give a grade on the commercials I would give then a C+, B-.

Something Random

This week I don’t really have anything that I really want to talk about so I think that I’m going to just talk about something totally random and that I don’t really want to talk about it. Last weeks school week was to me at least the best week of school ever. I mean come on the beginning of the week started off great with an early out, and after that it only got better. I mean what else could you ask for Monday was a early out then Tuesday was a two hour delay then Wednesday thru Friday no school, and I definitely have to say that a five day weekend was the toping on the cake for the week, and it was very exciting that each day that we didn’t have school to look on the TV. in the morning to see that we didn’t have school but I’m going to lie it did get old after awhile, I’m not saying that I don’t like snow days, just after awhile I got tired of not having school, which for me is really weird because I like snow days for the fact that I didn’t have to wake up at my normal school day time those three days.
But for those three days I didn’t really do anything because it was way way to cold to be outside. But hey a snow day is a snow day, and I’m not complaining with not have school, because it’s the best being able to sleep in for five days straight and being able to catch up on sleep, and just chilling and being lazy for those five days was also good. But when school came around this week it stunk. It was so so hard to wake up on Monday morning due to the fact that being able to sleep in for five days straight and then this day having to wake up at normal time, stunk. But hey having a five day weekend was the best thing that has happened this year so far, and hopefully in the future that more snow and freezing temps (which wasn’t the best part of the whole thing) will come again and a five day weekend with happen, but how likely will it be that, that will happen again.

Something random

Ok I totally know that this topic that im going to write about is going to be totally random and has really nothing to do with the other topics that I have been writing about. But it’s something to write about. I was just thinking about something to write about and this is the only thing that I could possibly think about to actually write about that will give me a lot to write about. So any way, my grandfather was a sail boater, and when I was little I and I went to my grandmother and grandfathers house we would go to the lake (if it was warm enough). When we got there my grandfather would go right to the dock and walk right to were his sailboat was located. My grandmother and I would follow and stop were the boat was parked. My mom rarely went on the boat because she got motion sickness really bad, so it would just my grandparents and myself on the dock.
My grandfather raced in many of the races that were held at the lake that weekend, and it seemed to me that there was one about every other weekend. And every time that my mom and I would come over to their house, he would talk about the previous weekend of sailboat racing. He was actually to what I know really good at what he did. I would always see the many first or second place trophies that were placed on the mantel of their fireplace, and there were many to be seen. When I would go on the sailboat races with my grandparents, I wasn’t to big on the whole thing of when the boat tipped to the point were it was pretty close to were your feet could touch the water and this happen only when the sails were up. So to make me feel better my grandmother would tell me what she did when the boat began to tip.
I think that the sport of sailing is kind of interesting and that’s kind of why im writing about it. I think it’s interesting because it all depends on the weather. It also depends on if there is enough wind so that the sails can make the boat go fast enough. So if there’s not enough wind or maybe it might have been to windy then there wouldn’t be a race that weekend. I think that my grandfather was very passionate about sailing and im glad that he took me along for the ride on the boat.
