Thank goodness its tuesday. I wouldnt generally be excited about tuesdays, but this tuesday is kinda like a friday cuz we dont have school for the rest of the week! Its pretty awesome if i do say so myself. Plus tonight is our first basketball game & its at watauga…they can be so rude/stupid, but dominae (a watauga cheerleader that i love (no homo)) will be there so thats fabulous! Speaking of cheerleading it is gettin on my last nerve…mostly because we have to practice with jv, but allssoo we arent preparing for nationals & right now we are sucking butt.  Im gonna go play some online games though…sorry this is a bad blog:O) Hopefully cheer will get better soon & we’ll rock nationals!!!

College applications are hitting me now with full force. Tomorrow is the 1st day of october and i want all of my applications to be finished by like october 15th and submited by at most the 20th. Plus cheerleading is keeping me completely occupied. Next week is homecoming, we have competitions in 4 weeks, and we still have to master our routine. Its crazy. Homecoming week we have practice every day…& i have to take the SAT that saturday. Buutt i guess its whatever & ill just have to deal for now. Once college stuff is over & i know where im going i will feel soooo much better! Till then i just hope nothing else gets harder!!

I need to write a blog for this week & hopefully i can finish this one before the bell to leave which rings in about 6 minutes.  Tonight i need to write my rough draft for english, study for allied & terms for english. Buuttt before i do that i have to go to practice till 5:30. Im pretty pumped about practice today because we are doing mascot tryouts!!! Oh and today was xtra awesome because it is the mexican independence day & our spanish class got to go to los arcoisis for lunch! It was super delicious! Anyways its 3:08 & i got to go!

I feel like i havent blogged in forever! I’ve been suupppeeerrr busy with cheer/projects/hw/college junk. I was telling Paige at lunch today that i cant wait for December when we all know where we are going to college, scholarships are pretty much handled, and we can just enjoy high school. I love this sememster though. I have allied health 2 which is amazing. I absolutely adore learning about medical stuff. Yep, im geeky like that haha. Then 3rd period i have Spanish with Mrs. Baker who ALWAYS makes me laugh & it feels accomplishing to be learning a new language. 4th is a dream class. Mrs. Rivers knows how to make class interesting & keep us from getting senioritis. I wish i had her class all year. Right now we are working on a project in her class to describe characters from the Canterbury Tales & Oh my gosh i can only imagine how horrendous it would be to learn this stuff without her ways of helping us learn. We play North Surry this friday & it will be my 1st home game!! When we played Watauga @ home i was sick with the flu and my mom had me locked up in our house until my fever was 10,0o0 miles away….sooo im pumped about this friday. I love our band, our stadium, our fans, & most of all our football players! Welp i need to go finish my character sketch & double check everything on it. Ta ta for now!

Well this week was kinda crazy. Last Saturday i started feeling sick with a cough and being really tired. I didnt think much of it until Sunday when my symptoms got worse. We had our first game on Monday & i wanted to at least be well enough to go to the game so i went to the ER on Sunday. After waiting for like 3 hours, they told me i probably have the swine flu. This sucked. My mom wouldnt let me leave the house until Wednesday, so i missed my first game. But in an effort to be a good sport, i listened to the game on the radio. Watauga kicked our butts 30-0. The week only got better from there haha…On Wednesday i went back to school & practice. That was a mistake because it made me feel sick again. On Thursday i went to school, but left early because i felt awful. During all of my sickness and days out of school, we had a project due for English. Well..all of our stuff was done, it just wasnt put together because nearly everyone in my group was sick. Then Friday rolled around & it was ok. We watched Beowulf in English and it was…idk but it reminded me of Shrek haha. Saturday and Sunday were relax and hang out with friends days, i definetly needed that after such a stressful/sick week. & i guess my new week starts tomorrow. Hopefully it will be good!

Kso im not much of a blogger, or at least not to my knowledge haha, but i will do the best i can! 2 days from now is our first football game of the season (Ashe Vs. Watauga) & i could not be more excited!!  I love the thrill of walking onto the track, getting ready to cheer, & seeing everyone so happy. Its almost like everyone is on the same page; like we are all excited/nervous/awesome lol. Thats kinda weird to say but its 9:31 & it has been a long day to say the least haha. The point is I love cheerleading, i <3 football & friday is going to rock my soooccckks! Tomorrow i have a test or quiz in every class. Fun huh? Im not too stressed about it though because tomorrow is thursday. My week is almost over. Anyways i think this is it for my 1st blog. Look forward to many more! 

Song of the week

I Gotta Feeling-Black Eyed Peas
I gotta feeling… (Woohoo)

Go out and smash it
Like Oh My God
Jump off that sofa
Let’s kick it OFF

I know that we’ll have a ball
If we get down
And go out
And just lose it all
I feel stressed out
I wanna let it go
Lets go way out spaced out
And loosing all control

Fill up my cup
Mazel tov
Look at her dancing
Just take it… OFF
Lets paint the town
We’ll shut it down
Let’s burn the roof
And then we’ll do it again

Lets do it (x4)
And do it (2x)
Let’s live it up
And do it (3x)
Do it, do it
Lets do it(3x)

That tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good good night

I gotta feeling
Tonight’s the night (HEY! )
Let’s live it up (lets live it up)
I got my money (I’m paid)
Lets spend it up (Lets spend it up)
Go out and smash it (Smash it)

Jump off that sofa (Come On! )
Lets kick it OFF
