oh hi there

more like oh bye there.

i can just feel the time coming for me moving to tumblr.

my reasons why you may ask?

: the iTouch app

: it's prettier

: it's easier

: i've had this little blog since i think the eighth grade, it's time for a fresh new start

well this may as well be my last post on this little blog, oh well.

eight months

honestly, i don't know what i would do if i didn't have rupert (my camera). me and the big guy have been through so much together. we went to summer camp we've done some photo shoots, we traveled to kenya, and who could ever forget chi alpha. in fact he has played such a huge role in capturing my most favorite moments with my favorite people. and i love it so so much. boy oh boy, it's been a great eight months rupert. well whoever invented cameras, i sure do owe them a HUGE thanks.

well would you look at that, two posts in one day

(:

the sweet sound of freedom

in this case that sweet sound was the school bell going off announcing that it is time for spring break!!!! yay yay yay!! i couldn't be anymore excited, right when i got out of call i literally did a little jump for joy, not caring who saw. sorry, but i have been waiting for this day to come for quite a while. and i am so stoked for this week. i don't really have much planned but i will soon. all i know is that it shall be a week filled with friends, love and a whole lot of pictures.

dates that are up

More commonly known as UPDATES!

-- last weekend i finally go to see all my church friends that i missed so dearly. that night, i fell in love with hearing the words, "welcome home". that just warmed my heart.

Study (verb)

Finals, noun: To study very hard until your eyes burn down. Happens twice during the school year.

Actually there are only some classes that I can not stand studying for a long period of time. Especially when I don't even know what the test is gonna be like. Which is stupid and inexcusable. At the moment I really don't feel like getting a head start on studying for my Bio and History final (which are Thursday). I mean I just got a really good book to read and I have been proving that I am slightly unable to survive my Glee absence without looking back on some of the episodes or listening to the music. Oh well. But at least I don't have school on Friday. Now maybe then I can completely finish driver's ed or just being glad that I am almost half way done with my sophomore year. Crazy, ya I know.

Funny B(acon)ones

For those of you who know me, I can not stand bacon. Judge me tender please. Anyways, in English class the other day some how, the subject of bacon came up. I don't know why to be honest. This girl next to me was going on and on about how amazing this bacon that she had on Christmas it was, "The best bacon ever!" Of course I did mention my dislike of bacon. Then all of the sudden my friend Adam said,
"Wait are you guys talking about bacon?"
Me: "Ya, why?"
Then the next thing I knew he pulled of of his backpack, a bag full of bacon!!! It was the funniest thing that ever happened in that class. Even though I don't like bacon, that doesn't mean that I can't laugh about it.

Tik Tok Like a Clock

Goodness, already this month is going by quickly. It is just so hard for me to believe that I leave for Chi Alpha (winter camp) next Saturday! Then the next weekend I sing for High School Ministry (A.K.A HSM). Then that following week is finals. Man there is just so much stuff going on in so little time. It's so hard for me even to rap my mind around the fact that at that time I will be half way through my sophomore year. That's just so crazy.

It's weird how one day I'll say, "Now that Christmas break is over can we just skip to Chi Alpha, winter formal, Kenya, spring break, then summer?" Then the next day I say that time goes by too fast. Oh well, as much as I"d like to skip my way to all my fun events I'll just be grateful for each day I've been given.
