  1. I decided that I'm really tired from school and working all weekend, so I'm just going to start out with I don't wanna be at school anymore. I'm sure everybody's still kind of excited that school finally started and that we're seniors, but honestly, I'm ready for school to be done with. I'm happy that I'm finally a senior and that I'm almost done with high school. I'm hoping college will be a totally different experience. (:

  2. I heard lots of people today complaining about the weather.But why? It was such a great day out.
    I think that any day that is cloudy and windy is a good day. For one you get to stay inside and feel all cozy. However, I would love to be outside on days like these, because then I would be running around all over and exploring. The very best time to be outside, is when the wind is really strong and the clouds look really creepy and down right awsome! It's also a good day to fly bags. What you do is, you take a garbage bag, hold it open, let it fill with air and let it fly up into the sky, and then you go find it and see how far it flew. I hope that the weather stays like this for the next week or so, because its the best weather for the Octoberfest parade, not to sunny or warm, just cool and dark.

  3. This weekend I went on a tour and interview at Macalester college in St.Paul. It has a pretty campus, right on Grand Avenue, and there are buses to take you everywhere in the Twin Cities. The interview went well, I think, and everyone there was really nice. I hope I get into this college, because it is my first choice school, and I love it! After the interview I went to Urban Outfitters and Ikea.

  4. Today was slightly odd. The first person I talked to this morning when I got to school snorted at me. When I got home from cross country, I found a package in the mail. Upon opening it, I discovered a T-shirt from Gustavus bearing the very catchy slogan; "Make your life count." Having never heard of such a thing, I have pondered this and have decided that, yes, I would like my life to "count." The End.



    My life is an ocean, stretching and wide
    that keeps me from running but begs me to hide
    the waves rise above every thought that I think
    and leave me to float, or leave me to sink
    I dive deep below, to the beauty within
    where there's never a scar, and there's never a sin
    if I were stranded alone on its loneliest shore
    I'd swim till my heart couldn't take anymore
    if I were drifting alone in the midst of the waves
    I would cry to be loved, I would cry to be saved
    to be never alone, but to never be near
    is my deepest of hopes and my darkest of fears

    My life is an ocean, expansive and deep
    that cruelly beats me then lulls me to sleep
    the tide overturns every wrong or mistake
    and leaves me to perish or suffer the wake
    I fling myself into the depths of my sea
    as it smothers and cradles and terrifies me
    if I ever could reach its bottomless end
    I'd realize the waves are my only true friend
    if I ever could see to the opposite side
    I'd deepen the waters with tears I have cried
    for to see that the end is coming and near
    is my deepest of hopes and my darkest of fears

  5. Well today I was pretty disappointed to find out that I'm most likely not going to Mexico. My grandma's Lions Club goes every year, and this was going to be her last year. When they go they hand out eyeglasses to the poor, so I thought it would be an extremely fun experience, along with looking great on a resume. But right now with the drug wars it's looking a little too violent to go, especially with a huge group of old people. I was definitely looking forward to going.

  6. I did not want to wake up this morning, especially after I looked outside and it was raining. AGAIN! I had to walk to class in the rain. I hate rain. And I think I am getting sick. :(
    I am taking a Psychology test online right now. It is no fun. There are 50 multiplier choice questions. It's taking forever!
    Today was extremely boring, so I don’t have anything interesting to say. I hope tomorrow is sunny and a better day than today was.

  8. Monday's are not my favorite, but today was not that bad! I'm finally starting to get back in to school mode and things are not as overwhelming, which is awesome. :) The weekend was a lot of fun and I wish it wouldn't have ended, but oh well! We have a cross country meet tomorrow in Eleva, and i'm pretty excited! Alright then, off to bed!

  9. Yeah, I had no idea what to blog about today. So I just went with whatever came to my mind first.

    Today wasn’t so bad for a Monday. It would have been loads better if the sun had been out for most of the day, but at least it wasn’t freezing out there. Autumn is definitely on the way, which is both good and bad. Autumn is probably one of my favorite seasons (the other being spring) mostly because of the leaves changing color. The temperature getting cooler and cooler each day is something about this season that I can’t stand, but that itself is only a sign that winter is on the way. I don’t really look forward to winter, but at least there is Christmas and skiing to make up for all of the cold and illness that is common during that time of the year. I do hope that this year’s winter goes by fast. That way it’ll be spring, the sun will be out, and the temperature will be just right again. Plus that will be the time we graduate, which I’m not so sure I’m 100% ready for yet. Luckily there is still plenty of time to prepare for that!

  10. So last night the volleyball team had a great practice! Though we had to run alot from missed serves, it still went pretty good. I am completely pumped for my game today at Spring Valley. Last night I read more of my book, and it got very intimate out of no where! I thought that was very odd. Though I am really starting to get into that book! Yesterday school day went by super fast, and today is going by extremely slow!

  11. I thought this monday had gone by kinda slow. So far for tuesday it is going kinda fast but its still the beginning of the day. I'm getting close to being done with my book for my book review so thats good. Hopefully the sun will come out sometime today. If it did it would be really nice out.

  12. Well I had a horrible morning. I was driving to school, when I saw a huge, disgusting rat in my car. It ran around the feet of the passenger side, and crawled under the passenger seat. I sped up, hoping to get out of the car ASAP. Just my luck, I got caught behind a train of vehicles going 45 in a 55. I was screaming and making many hand gestures.

    BESIDES THAT...
    I'm looking forward to this Sunday. My older sister, Amanda, is coming to visit me. We're going on tour at the Leinie Lodge. I never see her much. Plus she just moved to Iowa.

  13. Ok i'm exteamly tired i need to learn how to do homeowork, work and sleep because whatever i'm doing now is so not working. Right now i don't like my indipentent study because i just can't seem to push myself to do it but other than that school is good. I'm getting yelled at here at home to start doing things around the house but that doesn't really work when i'm not home but we'll see how that works out!

  14. Well I've been slacking off and it's actually thursday and its raining. It's been raining all day. I sort of like it when it rains on school days though. It keeps it cool, and its were stuck inside so it doesn't matter a whole ton anyways. But it would be nice if it would stop so I can go outside and get a little bit of stuff done outside tonight. Doesn't really look that will happen, but we'll see.

  15. School has been a lot harder to manage than I thought it would be. It has completely overwhelmed me. I find no reason to do anything school-related. I really have to step it up in all my classes and start getting homework done and handed in on time. I'm sure I'm becoming a head case for Mr. Meade because I don't hand everything in on time. I am trying really hard though.

    Other things that are on my mind right now are people saying stuff for no other reason than to just say it and get a reaction out of me. Whether they know it bothers me or not it does. I'm not saying who it is and what they've said but I will say it bothers me. I hate hearing from random people that somebody said something bad about me or something I did or said. If you're not man enough to say it to my face then don't say it. Step up.

    Have a great day Mrs. Myers.
    (If you can't tell, I was sucking up to you.) :)

  16. It feels like whenever I get homework this year, it is always in bunches. I will go a few days without having anything,but then the next day I have homework in all my classes due by the next day. It gets kind of stressful in figuring out how to do it all with sports. I get by just fine I just hope it isn't like this the whole year. But otherwise, school has been flying by and I can't say its been bad.
