| Hey Guys! So I haven't updated in like 3+ months. I have just been busy with school and stuff. For Cross Country we missed going to state by 7 points. It was heartbreaking, but the guys team got 2nd at Sectionals and made it to state, so it was a good day for BHS!  Bowling has now started, and I am excited to say that currently I have the highest average! Not to brag, but I've been trying so hard for the coach to like me, and now that I'm a 1/2 way decent bowler, she keeps me in the games! Anyways, BHS has finals this week! But senior don't have to take them, so tomorrow is my last day of school for the semester! Then I have six days off. Yippee!!  I have a bowling meet on Thursday, and today we had one too. I bowled a 168, 177, 167. Avg: 170.67 for a 512 series! Yeah, over 500 series is hard for me, so I'm happy. I went running when I got home with my mom! We only run for like 25 mins. but it keeps me in shape before Track starts! I am deciding on colleges now...its mostly between UC, NCC, and Illinois Wesleyan. I want to run in college, but I'm not totally sure yet. If not, then it's gonna be U of I in Urbana. I am fillin' out all the scholarships I can, to see how much money I can get (major factor for my parents). ARG! Well, that's all for now. I am gonna try to update this thing more regularly. Stop being a slacker. Off to do English homework. Later kids! | | |
| - My Place Hey all! No more cool colors or fonts or anything like that. Oh well. This week has been sooo busy with school and everything. It is crazy. Well, Monday- Friday was school. It went by pretty fast, I think it was because ELGIN CITY CLASSIC was on Tuesday afternoon. We got 1st for the 5th year in a row! Everyone did so awesome, I am so proud of how far our team has come, even since just the summer. I got 3rd and my time was 16:02 for 2.5 miles. I was pretty excited. Friday night I went to watch the NCC XC meet. Eric and Brody did really well! Derek came over afterwards and we just chilled, didn't really do anything. Saturday was ST. CHARLES EAST LEAVY INVITE!!!! We got 7 out of like 15 or something teams. It was alright, but everyone did really good. It was really hot, and our training hasn't been focused on speed. I got 32 out of 140ish. Time: 20:12 for 3 miles. A lot slower of a pace than Tuesday, but it was a longer course. This Saturday is Lake Park! It's so flat and a really fast course, so we will see what happens. Saturday night Derek came over for the last time in a while. He left yesterday (Sunday) morning for Carthage.  I miss him already. =( Yesterday, I worked all day and then went to my cousin's biday party! Happy 6th birthday Cooper! I worked on college apps, essays, personal statements...blah blah....
Today was morning practice. Ran 50 minutes, helped Amanda with her math homework, ate a donut, took a shower, and now I am writing this and have to go do Spanish h/w and a ton of other homework. And, I will leave you with that....

| - - Hey Everyone. So I haven't written in a week. Well Monday and Tuesday, I had the days off of work, so pretty much I just had XC in the morning, cleaned my room, did laundry, finish all summer homework, and read Crime and Punishment all day. Wednesday I started school, this is my schedule: 1) Civic Honors (Mr. Pemberton) 2) AP World History (Mr. Weiss) 3) AP English (Mrs. Lapetina) 4) AP Spanish 7-8 (Mr. Demovsky) 5) Lunch 6) Study Hall 7) AP Calc (Ms. Phillips) 8) Senior Leader P.E. (Mrs. Linnert) I really like my schedule, except I have some interesting teachers. I had Demo and Phillips last year, so that's pretty cool. Also, I love Mrs. Linnert. I'm a student leader for her freshman class, it's a lot of fun. Two of my kids from Link Crew are in that class, yeh!! Mrs. Linnert is my track coach and I had her freshman year for my freshman P.E. class. It's cool. Also, Mrs. Lapetina is pretty interesting. It's gonna be really hard in her class, we had a test of Crime and Punishment on the first day of school!! I got a 78%, how dumb am I. But it's pretty good for not really "reading" the book. Anyway, I am really dumb. Friday I thought it was 5th period so I go to Lunch and really it's 4th. I realize it when the bell rings, so I run all the way to the 3rd floor. I'm like 3 mins late, and Demo wasn't even in the classroom yet. I was so lucky, but I felt so stupid. Friday night was the football game, we lost to Glenbard North 7 to 34. Yeh, we suck. But, it was fun nevertheless. Well, some parts got quite boring we Jenni, Heather, and I were left by ourselves. After football, Jayme, Hilary, Heather, and Jenni came over and spent the night. heheh! It was a lot of fun. We TP'ed houses, my house got TP'ed with 100 roles =/. Saturday morning, we had a run- a- thon. I ran 30 laps in 1 hour = 7.5 miles at 8 min. mile pace. YAH! After that, Ben had a XC picnic/ party at his house. They had a pool, zipline, teather ball, etc....to bad it was freezing outside. I went home around 2, took a nap to 6, went out to eat at Nest Cafe (it was really cool and had good food), then Derek came over. I was doin all my school supplies stuff and laundry, so I felt bad that we couldn't really hang out. I was happy to see him, because I hadnt seen him in what seemed like forever!! He is leaving on Saturday =(....I'm gonna miss him so much!! =( We watched the olympics, but I was really tired so he left around 11. I have to go to work at DQ now, so that pretty much sums up my excited week. hah. Morning run at 6:15 tomorrow, then school. YAH! Later | | |
| Today was a crappy day. Had to work, and nothing was cleaned from the night before. Then I went to Target and they had nothing good. Then Hilary and I hung out for a while and ate some Pork Shoulder and Mashed Potatoes!! YUM! Jayme and some of us were supposed to hang out but no, nothing to do. TODAY IS A DAY OF NOTHINGS!!! =(
Anyway, Hilary is over now! YAH! and we are just chattin' online. I really have to read Crime and Punishment...still 500 pages left. Tomorrow, no entry so here is what I have to do:
1) Run 2) Shower 3) Read 4) Take a break and go to shoe carnival and shop for school 5) Read some more 6) XC Practice 7) Go to Hollister w/ Derek (FALL OUT BOY CONCERT!!!) and 8) Read again. Pretty boring. But that's all. LATER KIDS! | | |
| - A Thousand MilesI can't really remember the last time I wrote or what I said. But, last night I hung out w/ Derek and then I had to go home. But on the way home Hilary called me, and she was at Jayme's, so I went home and asked my parents if it was ok if I could go to Jayme's for an hour. I went over there at Eric, Ryan, Drew, and Simone were moving some furniture cuz Jayme's sister was going back to school. We decided to TP Simone's house and a lot of stuff happened. Hilary and Ryan got in a fight, Simone punched me in the neck, and we hide behind these big bushes. It was fun, but crazy. Then we went to find Drew's house but couldn't so we went and TP'd Amed's. We thought we were gonna get caught and get eggs thrown at us, but we didn't. We did it really bad though and only used 3 rolls on this one tree in front of his house. It wasn't good at all....=/ But atleast we had fun. My neck still really hurts though. Anyways today was XC. Fairfax Friday!!! It's only 2.5 miles and we all run together as a team and sing, so it's really fun! After XC, I slept till around 12. I was really tired and needed a nap before Link Crew. Around 2:30 I went to Walgreens- got blowpops and starbursts for my freshman crew- and then off to Link Crew. It was really good, I think that the freshman had fun. I got home around 8, and now DEREK is over! Yah! I'll write later! | | |
