Volleyball, Homework, Tests, SGA, Yearbook, Soccer

^^ the things that consume my life.

Last week felt like the 3rd month i was in school but apparently it was only the 2nd week. man. Oh well...ya know its the uh "adjustment" period. Classes are going pretty good. It's a lot of work but it'll pay off in the long run [i hope]. Lost our first 2 volleyball games *we only had one practice as a team, what do you expect?* However, we did pretty good in our tournament yesterday so thatll probably help a lot. 4th out of eight. What else happened this week...recycling @ student government, long talks, winter formal planning, yearbook meetings. All that stuff. Sold pizza on thursday again *good time with brad, caitlin, and becca* [did u wear your gloves to eat your pizza?] Friday night after volleyball and tennis we all went over to laurens *kenzie, danielle, maggie, me* showered, ate, and then met up with some pple to see Pirates @ the Museum. Haha--orlando bloom and johnny depp + kenzie's plan to do them both. Maggie dropped me @ home around 1130 and i went to bed about 12 15. Too bad i hadta be at school 820 yesterday to leave for our tourney--woohoo for RCHS's first V-ball trophy! Last night I went over to Danielle's and hung out sam, brad, maggie, kenzie, jana, tony, lee, lauren, and matt. I was exhausted tho. Haha until like 12 30 after brad brought me home and i was suddenly very awake. [[I def. kept brad for like 45 minutes at my house b4 he went over to lees --okay so i like to tell stories!]] Plan for today? a TON OF HOMEWORK and my first soccer game. Wow i havent touched a soccer ball in awhile!

Life @ School thus Far

My life @ school thus far basically consists of boring classes, hectic lunches, volleyball practice, and lots of hw. There's drama too of course, but nothing deadly...yet. Most of my classes are okay, a few suck. Don't really have one i love, but whatever. I'll deal. I wish lunch was longer so i could catch up w/ everyone. I have a few bright spots in the day tho =D and they know who they are. Last weekend was pretty fun, long talk friday night w/ brad, work sat. morning, movie and hanging out with jen and maggie, later joined my danielle. Sunday i enjoyed the olympics and didnt enjoy hw. Today we finally saw who was on the vball team (too many pple) i really hurt my foot in practice, chels and laura visited, and HURRAY for uniforms!! First game tmrw...

Phairly Good

You go on ahead, Honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
I'm no ordinary lover or a friend

I believe we have things to do
I believe in myself and I believe in you
I believe when I sleep you are near to me
When you sleep, I am near to you

You walk out of the room with your hands so deep
In your pockets I don't recognize you
You say you're a ghost in our house and I realize
I do think I see through you

So you go on ahead, Honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
I'm no ordinary lover or a friend

It's a death in our love that has brought us here
It's a birth that has changed our lives
It's a place that I hope we'll be leaving soon
And I fear for the year in his eyes

And it goes 'round in circles
One night is lovely
The next is brutal
And you and me are in way over our heads with this one, it's hard
To admit it

So you hold me and I can't feel you
We hurt but we smile
I promise I'll make it back
When the summer has warmed me awhile

You go on ahead, Honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
I'm no ordinary lover or a friend

I believe we have things to do
I believe in myself and I believe in you
I believe when I sleep, you are near to me
When you sleep, I am near to you

Tryouts Again

Another day of volleyball tryouts. Not quite as fun as the first [[reminds me of how the first day of school is so fun cuz u see everyone then the second and third it just begins to fade.]] However, as i can tell by my soreness, i am getting back in shape. I need to work on hitting since i play front row..altho i dno what it will be like this time. What if i dont play? ARGH...dont wanna start thinking about that right now. So now that ive watched the freshies id say 3 of them are good and will get some playing time. Depending on how many she cuts, i dno who else will be picked. All i know is that i want to play middle hitter and that i have some competition for the spot. oh well, itll make me push myself. After tryouts brad came down to the gym and we talked for a little while then i left with maggie, jen, and a new tennis freshie, allison. *or maybe she spells it my way, thatd make her awesome* Who needs two Ls in Alison?

Volleyball Rocked It

Jen drove me to volleyball yesterday, went up to peace and said hey to jana and some of the new freshies, then down to halifax for practice. It was great seeing some of my team mates again, like lauren, nikki, emily, erin, etc. There were a TON of freshman. 7 of them and 2 more are coming. So we're def. gonna hafta make cuts this year, unlike last year. Most of them are just now starting volleyball, but i mean tahts fine, i practically did the same thing. Overal theyre pretty shy, but one girl is like really cocky and i dno why but w/e. It just felt great not to be the youngest one. Actually, it felt wonderful *lol* but i'm gonna try to make them feel welcome...i know they must be nervous w/ so many of them trying out.

Tennis got rained out so a few of them came down and watched volleyball for a while [i love my tennis girls!] then matt, andrew, and jeff came by. We hung out for a while and then went to bojangle's before heading back to halifax for the boys' soccer tryouts. Everyone started to show up for that [[met 2 new kids]] Hung out til the guys hadta go play then dropped of maggie and me and jen went back to her house, showered, and hung out til maggie came back and we had our girl party --that was a great pillow fight maggie! Maggie drove me home later than night and now its tuesday, another day closer to when school starts, and another day of volleyball.

My last nights of having fun before school starts...

Only have a week till school starts. It's crazy. However, the last few days have been so much fun. I went to the mall w/ jana and laney yesterday. Free panties @ VS, make up counters in belk, and jana trying on huge heels in attempt to be taller than me [good times right THERE!] It was really fun, i hadnt seen laney in a while so that was good too! I got a few things + achieved my goal in getting jana to try stuff on thank [[thank you i love you!]] Then she got picked up and brad and caitlin drove up right as she was leaving. We chilled in my room for a bit and then lee came over. How many outfits did me and caitlin go through>? Then we went over to maggies so i could give her back her pants for her portraits today + we kidnapped her! *lol*

Drove over to A3s, played some video games [mortal kombat brings back SO many memories!] then headed over to Chili's for dinner. Brad hadta leave : ( b4 we ordered but then Jen met up with us. Ate dinner then actually went to go play tennish, yes, i said play tennis. A3 left and we went over to jen's neighborhood. Changed clothes, and played for about an hour. It was fun...def. a good laugh. Then everyone needed to get home so me and lee dropped off caitlin around 1135 then drove me home. We talked for awhile [that was more then ive let out in a long time] then i went in to bed! i was exhausted. Plans for today...VOLLEYBALL..oh gawd.
