UPDATE!!!

Since the last time I blogged, a lot has happened. At my last track meet, I placed sixth place for discus at the zone meet. I was ecstatic when they told who placed on the big speaker. I tried out for the soccer team and got on B team. It seemed really hard at the tryouts, but it got easier. Today we ran a mile at practice in under 9 minutes and I actually got it. I also took the 7th grade Writing STAAR and the 8th grade Math STAAR. The writing test was a two-day test that you had to answer 46 revising and editing questions and write a total of three essays. The math test was absolutely horrible. There were 64 questions total on the stupid test and we only had four hours to take it. I took 3 hours and 35 minutes to take the test. I know I did good on the test. I just hope I get commended on the test.

Track Meet

Tomorrow, is my first track meet. Since I made the track team, I've just gotten used to the waking up early in the morning it's not even funny. The events that I'm doing is discus and shot put. I actually am pretty good at both. Not the best, but I'm alright. I really can't wait to go to the meet because it's the only meet in the season that's at a different district. I really can't wait and I really need to do good tomorrow. Wish me luck!

   

Ali Taylor

Ali Taylor is one of my best friends and, I guess, that's pretty sad. She is one crazy girl. Ali is also one of the most ghetto-est person I know. She always has food. Always. She never goes anywhere without having at least one bag of Takis and some vitamin water. Even though she has horrible habits of eating so much junk food, Ali is a great friend. She is always there. Ali has her stupid moments. She thinks out loud a lot and, most of the time, it's really funny. She gets "addicted" to almost any new game or app she sees. She posts the funniest things on her blog and they're sometimes really stupid.

GenTx Week

This past week at school has been Generation Texas week. It's basically about college and career readiness. This whole week, all of the teachers at my school had to decorate their doors to represent the college they went to. I love this because we get to decorate, which I love to do, instead of reading for twenty minutes. On Wednesday, during your science period you had to go to the eighth grade computer lab and take this career and skills survey. On my career interests survey, my top five pathways were performing arts, journalism and broadcasting, marketing communications, visual arts, and governance. I do not life performing arts, marketing communications, and governance. The only job pathways that I would even consider would be the journalism and the visual arts pathways. My skills confidence survey had similar results. I got journalism and broadcasting, performing arts, professional support services, health informatics, and early childhood development and services. I don't like any of these except, of course, journalism and broadcasting. Tomorrow, there will be a poll of which teacher's doors is the best. I'm pretty for sure that it would be Ms. Pennington's door because hers had lights, a theme song on it, and is overall awesome.

Athletics

Yesterday during athletics, the 8th and 7th grade B and C team volleyball players had a tournament. The 7th grade A team was left with us off season people. I, personally, love being in off season. We get to pretty much run every single day. The first day wasn't the easiest, but when you run for almost every single day, you get used to it and have a pace set for yourself. The coaches made both the off season and A team run a mile. Running a mile at my pace wasn't super hard. The only problem was that it was raining hard earlier, so the track was wet and it was lightly raining. It's not that I don't like the A team volleyball players, it's just that their all snobs and they think that they're better than us because they actually made one of the teams. All of the coaches had to leave, so they left us there with the boys coaches. Having the guy coaches watch us probably wasn't the best idea because they all were working with the football players. When they told us to start, the volleyball players barely made it to the 100m line before they started to walk. We started to yell at them because if we slacked off during the mile, we would have to do snakes on Monday. Snakes are probably one of the worst things you have to do. You have to do run from one side to the other side of the football field and do up-downs. They are, in other words, horrible. We continued to run, but that didn't stop us from hearing what they said. They were saying things like, "I heard the off season girls do this everyday, so of course they can run a mile." and "We on the A team, we don't have to run like this." In other words, they sounded like wimps because they couldn't run. I mean, if you can sprint a whole mile then that's great for you, but if you know that you can barely sprint around a single lap without passing out, then you shouldn't sprint. Nobody cares about how long it takes you to run a mile. The only thing that really matters is if you can run a mile without walking. That was the only thing that mattered. After we ran the mile, we had to walk the track and that wasn't a good idea to because we were all playing around and talking. Yesterday was probably my favorite day in athletics and I can't wait till the volleyball players have another tournament.

My Fantastic/Horrible Week (So Far)

These past two days have been fantastic for me. Yesterday in first period, we did absolutely nothing. We only had to review someone's Native American PowerPoint and then submit it to our teacher. In my career portals class, we only had to work on our "resume" and cover letter. Science was as boring as always. In journalism, we got to spend the whole entire period taking pictures of people dressed in red, white, and blue to honor 9/11. In language arts, all we had to do was peer edit our personal narratives and do our vocabulary words. Math is a wasted period. I mean, we never do anything in that class. Athletics was awesome. All we did was laps in the gym. Overall, that day was awesome. Today was just as good. It was picture day and we had to take our pictures during our social studies period. Thankfully, mine is my first period. By the time we got back to class, there was only like twenty minutes left. So, we got to watch a video honoring those who died twelve years ago on September 11th. Career portals, science, math, and language arts were pretty much the same. In journalism, a couple of my friends and I got to start our first story. It's about the honoring those who died on September 11 twelve years ago. After school, I was completely wore out. I got home, at my usual time, to only find that we were going to have this electrician come and install our new kitchen lights. That was bad for me because I had to work on four assignments. My day only got better and better when the electrician left my house. At nine-freaking-o'clock. That means he was here for about three hours. I never thought that was possible, but him and my dad were buddies making them talk and joke around. I am so tired. that I could literally pass out and not finish this post. Luckily, I'm not that wore out. I probably won't post till like Friday at the most. Hope my week will finish off just like it started. Peace!

Journalism Class

Today in journalism class, we got assigned projects that we had to report on. I have to go to either the 7th grade football game or the 8th grade football game. I have to write about their scores and all that type of stuff. Since I don't know anything about football, I'm going to try to get my dad to help my with the statistics and all, but the rest of the work is going to be all mine. My school blog hasn't even been updated since May. I can't wait to actually start writing stories. I hope this is going to be as easy as this blog. The school blog is called Chisholm Trail Tribune and is on my blog list. I hope you all like my school blog. Peace!

Tough Day at School :(

Oh my gosh! Today was a very loooooong day. First period, all we did was work on this PowerPoint about a Indian tribe in Texas. Second period, was career portals and all we did was finish the rest of the things that we did yesterday. Third period, we actually had to take two quizzes; one was a safety quiz and the other was about force and motion. Fourth period, was journalism and we got to look at all of our blogs. The blogs are all on my blog list on the right column. Most of them barely have their first posts. We just started these blogs last week. Fifth/sixth period was language arts. For about the first hour, we spent that whole time trying to upload this personal narrative that we'd written on Monday. Sixth/seventh period was math. I absolutely hate that class. Everybody is so talkative. Sometimes, I just feel like yelling to everybody to shut up. The bad part about it is that not only is it a Pre-AP class, but the people that are talking all are flirting. It's just annoying to hear. Athletics, my eighth period, was awesome today. We ran half a mile, two times around the track/football field, in less than three minutes. Then, we went inside and ran about the rest of the mile because it felt like a hundred degrees outside. Today, I finally got to see the one person that I've been looking for the two weeks. My friend, Lily, and I got to sit in the very back of the bus. We were so happy because it was the coldest part of the whole entire bus. When I got home, I got to spend pretty much the whole entire time working on my Texas history homework. Curse you homework! Whoever came up with that idea should have thought more about their future descendants because we all hate homework. Hope you all have a blessed day! Peace!

Bad Day :(

Today was a stressful day. First of all, I woke up at five o'clock in the morning just to only lay in bed in the dark waiting for it to be seven. Of course, when you have two loud sisters that go to elementary school, you can never have a quiet morning. I, then, went to go get ready when my sisters left for school and finally got ready. I got to the school bus with all of my things at eight thirty. I was almost late. I had my school bag, my athletics clothes, my athletics shoes, my lunch, and a jacket in my hands. I know what you're thinking. "Oh my gosh! How can a person carry all that stuff in one tote bag." I could barely fit my clothes, school stuff, and half of my lunch. So, I had to hold the rest of my stuff in one hand. School was horrible. On the outside, I looked perfectly fine. Inside, I was so tired. I didn't feel like going to school. I guess you could say that I was kind of depressed today. I mean who wouldn't be when they feel like they went to sleep at two in the morning. My head hurt so much, but I had to look like I was okay. I hope tomorrow is better. Peace out!

OMG! I am so sore from trying out for volleyball this week. It was a four-day tryout with a total of 80 girls trying out. My thighs and feet hurt so much from running and jumping this whole week. In the end I didn't make the team, but I'm okay with that. There's always next year to try out. Today, my aunt, cousin, and her family is coming. She has THREE boys. The oldest is 11 so this is going to be a rough weekend for me. I can't wait till school starts again, cause I don't really want them to come. The house only has a total of four people and there's already six people in my family. That adds up to twelve people. It is going to be a chaotic weekend. Wish me luck!
