Here Comes Another Year

It's beginning to feel a lot like the beginning of another year of school! As the classes seem longer and longer each day and the homework slowly starts to reveal itself. My classes aren't too much to handle. If I keep focused at all times I can usually make it home without any homework at all! Cheer is now every day after school and I am also doing student counsel this year. It seems like a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it in the long run. We had our very first pep-assembly on Friday. It was originally schelduled for the first day of school and was post-poned three times! As if that wasn't enough for the week, we also had our first football game last night. I can't believe I nearly forgot how much work it is to cheer four quarters and perform a half time! We lost our game by ONE point. It wasn't even fair. Moon Valley decided to take a knee at twenty-five seconds and only thirty yards to go. The score was 19-20. This year, my coach is hoping to take the competition team to Nationals in Florida. They are holding tryouts again for the competition team. I am really hoping to have my back tuck by then. Morgan (my tumbling coach) has already started working on it with me so hopefully I'll catch on quick. Student counsel is already planning homecoming week because it's really early this year (the end of September). Our dance is going to be really cool! But I won't give away any details. In short, my week seemed like a month. I feel like I'm suffering from a serios case of sleep deprivation. But I can't complain. All is well. I have twenty pages left of Eclipse! Which I'm going to finish reading as soon as I'm done typing this. Hahaha one last thing I thought I would share... This morning as we were getting ready for church, Zane walked into the bathroom with a box of dental floss and a strand of about a yard already pulled out. He looks at my mom and says, "Mom, will you cut this for me? I want a snack." I just about fell over laughing. When my mom told him he can't eat dental floss for a snack he put on his pout face and said, "fine then! I'm not going to church!" and stomped off. I thought it was pretty funny. The things kids say. It's great.

Good News

Movie News Flash!

So I'm not sure if anyone has heard, but the release of the sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has been moved from this Thanksgiving to next summer. I suppose that might be a bummer for some people out there but it doesn't bother me one bit because... Summit Films has decided that us Twilight fans will get to see our movie THREE WEEKS earlier than the sceduled December 12th movie release date! Yes, that means that Twilight will be released on November 21st! I can't WAIT! I finish New Moon last week, and although it was a little depressing at the beginning it got really good at the end. I'm not going to give out any details in case anyone out there hasn't gotten that far yet (and I can't imagine anyone who hasn't because it seems I am far behind everyone else). But now i'm almost half way through Eclipse. These books are so great! When I finish the series I think I'm going to have to read it over again because I just can't get enough!

First day of school!

Yesterday was my first day of tenth grade! It was one of the longest days I've had in a long time. I only had about 5 hours of sleep because due to summer I was used to going to bed at midnight or later, so I couldn't sleep and then I had to get up at 5 for early morning seminary. My classes seem like they might be a little bit challenging this year. My first semester consists of Spanish 1A, World History, Design and Merchandising, and Algebra II. My second semester is Chemistry, Advanced Math Concepts, English 11, and Spanish 1B. We were supposed to have a pep assembly yesterday too, where my cheer team would be performing for the first time this year, but it was rescheduled to Wednesday. I had homework for Algebra II on the first day!!! Official cheer practice doesn't start until Monday, which is good because school has been exhausting for the past two days. But I'm really hoping to get straight A's this year! Wish me luck! And good luck to anyone starting school soon!

Happy (late) Birthday Kaylin!

So yesterday was my friend Kaylin's 18th birthday. I would've posted this yesterday but I spent the night at Jessica's last night. Kaylin is one of my BEST friends. She has always been there for me and even though we're a few years apart, she's like a sister to me. Kaylin is going to college this year =[ It's a bummer. I'm really going to miss her. A few months ago she said she would be going to college in Wyoming. Then she changed her mind and decided to stay here to help coach our cheer squad. But just a couple weeks ago, she announced that she had been offered a position on the cheer team at the college in Wyoming so she'd be going after all. I am happy for her because she's doing something she wants to do, we're all just going to miss her a lot. Yesterday, we went to Oreganos after cheer for her birthday. We had to wait over an hour to be seated! But it was fun to visit with friends outside of cheer for once. Jessica and I got her a Hannah Montana dvd and a High School Musical 2 toothbrush that sings. We all like Hannah Montana and High School Musical so we just had to get it Haha. Well I send my best wishes to Kaylin this year at college!

Twilight

I finished Twilight yesterday. Everyone else has probably already read it. It's really popular. But I started reading it, like a year ago. I was only about thirty pages into it and wasn't too interested but when summer came around and I had nothing to do I picked it back up, and finished it in a couple weeks. This is an AMAZING book and that says something for me because I hate reading. The movie comes out in theaters on December 12th, and I suggest everyone see it =]

Happy Birthday Austin!!

Today is my cousin Austin's 14th birthday.. Austin is a lot of fun to have around. He's always happy and he brings a lot of excitement to our family. He has a great sense of humor. He is also an amazing piano player. He can pretty much sit down and play anything you ask him to. We have a lot of great memories, like convincing Mason to take us to taco bell in Nauvoo. He's grown up so fast! He went from being Monkey Boy to a great young man. He thinks it's just facsinating how much taller he is than Ashlyn and I. On our last trip to Laguna Beach, Austin let us straighten his hair. It was lots of fun =] He is a great example to everyone in our family. We love him very much.. Happy Birthday Aust!!!!

Watch out everyone!

I got my permit today. Just so everybody knows, I DID take the test already once before and I failed it. haha It's a hard test! I guess I just rushed myself a little bit because afterwards I realized how easy the question was and wondered how I could possibly get it wrong. (like the question about what to do at a yellow light haha). But now I only have six months 'till I get my licensep
