Hey everyone!!!! So, it's fall break and I'm SO GLAD. Everything kinda piled up last week and I'm really glad to get a break. Things have been going really good with school, though. I'm lucky enough this year to have teachers that actually care if you're stressed and want to help you as much as they can. I think I would probably really be hating school right now if I didn't have them lol.

I haven't really done anything this week other than work on Monday, which is fine with me. I haven't gotten a vacation since last summer. Every break I've had since then has either involved some major school project having to be completed or I've been away from home. It's good to just be able to sit around and do NOTHING. *sigh*. ANYWAYS, I'm really happy with how my Senior year has been going so far. There have been a few frustrations but other than that I really think our Seniors are pulling through this year and making it a great one. I was thinking about how much time we have left in school and it kinda scared me though. I mean, December is coming up fast and then we only have like 4 months after that before we graduate and those are going to fly by. At times I don't think I'm ready but at other times I just want to get out. But then I start to think of all my friends and how not all of them are going to be around next year and that really upsets me. Hopefully, somehow things will slow down a bit and graduation won't come up too fast.

Not many people are really using xanga anymore so I don't think I'm going to update that much. Everyone has moved on to myspace or facebook (which I have both of by the way, so just find me).

Sorry I didn't have much else to talk about. Love you!! Bye!!

Wow guys!! I haven't updated in FOREVER!!!! Not that anyone really uses this anymore though lol.

Hmmm...what is there to talk about. Jazz Choir is AWESOME. Chamber Choir is AWESOME. Government is HILARIOUS!!! Calculus isn't quite as bad as I thought it was going to be but still very confusing. Anatomy and Physiology is VERY interesting. And I LOVE Ms. Jackson's class!!! The whole school spirit situation at Oakland is kinda annoying right now, though, but we're working on it so be patient please.

Last night was Oakland vs. Siegel and OHS WON!!! Woot!!! 7-3, close I know, but we pulled through like I knew we would. I left after 3rd quarter, though, 1) because I was tired 2) because I wanted to get out of there before everyone else did. I had been there since 5:30 anyways so I felt I had represented and supported our team enough for the day lol.

Other than that not much is happening. School is going by VERY slowly but I like it cause I actually have time to do nothing after school. Getting out at 2 is AMAZING. The only downer to my past week or so is that I have lost my voice. I found out that I have asthma. My doctor had always told me that I had an "Asthma-like condition" and right before I went to GSH my doctor said I needed to go to Vanderbilt and get some tests done so they would have a baseline for my information here at home. So I had that appointment like a couple of weeks go and the doctor said I have asthma now and that I need to be put on this medicine called Advair. He said since it was a powder that it might make me hoarse and guess what? IT DID!!! Now, I lose my voice enough as it is and this did not make me happy lol. Plus it is ten times worse now than it has ever been. My voice has never been gone for more than 3 or 4 days or ever COMPLETELY gone which it was last Saturday and Sunday. So far it has been gone 7 days, which is HORRIBLE for someone who has to sit through 2 classes of choirs without being able to sing. We called the doctor and he changed me to this medicine that I have taken before that is made of a microscopic powder so that way it won't clog my throat. HOPEFULLY my voice will be better by Tuesday. If not I'm GONNA kill someone lol. Needless to say I am VERY VERY happy that we have Monday off so I can have another day to rest it.

ANYWAYS. I'm going to go. I hope you guys have had a good three weeks of school. I'll talk to you later!! Love ya!! Bye!!

*sigh* So, my Senior year has officially started. Is it weird? Yes. Is it exciting? Yes. Am I scared? Yes. Am I confused about how I feel and about school? YES!! lol

So here's my schedule...

E - Anatomy and Physiology Honors - Bell

1 - AP Calculus () - McClellan

2- Government (it being in the annex makes me EXTREMELY angry) / Economics (it's in the main building so that's ok) - Scudder/ Fergusen

3- AP English IV - Jackson (don't know how I feel about that class)

4 - Jazz Choir

5 - Chamber Choir

6 - HOME YAY!!!

Yeah, I'm going to have to get up at 5:30 on Monday. I'm just giving myself an hour so I can see exactly how long I really need to get dressed. I'm just really scared that I am going to oversleep. I REALLY hope my alarm remembers to go off or else I am in trouble lol. Overall, though, I think this year is going to be a good year. I have a lot of classes with my friends and I think my teachers are going to be fun.

Yesterday, other than getting my schedule, I went to the American Idol concert. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! They all sounded great!!! A few of them that I really wasn't that fond of even won me over. I'm so glad I went to the concert this year because this is the first year that I have actually liked all of the top 10 at one time or another. I just get annoyed with them when they get over-promoted. Well, ANYWAYS, Cassie and I had an AMAZING time. We sat next to the cutest old man lol. He was there for the soul music lol. SO CUTE!!!

Talk to you guys later!!! Love you!!! Bye!!

Hey guys!! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I really cannot believe summer is going to be over in 9 days. I've managed to finish all my summer reading (not that it was that much this year for a change) and I'm ATTEMPTING to study for my ACT. The only problem is, the book I have to help me study is making me feel REALLY stupid lol. But those books are made harder on purpose to make you study more.

So lately, I've spent most of my time shopping for school clothes, working, and watching "Friends" with all of my friends lol. I think all of my friends are now addicted to the show lol, but it gives us a chance to talk. I still cannot belive we are going to be SENIORS. I mean, yeah, I keep saying it, but it hasn't really hit me yet. It probably won't hit me until the first or second day of school when I go back and I notice that all my old senior friends like Emily aren't there anymore.  I just really hope my work load isn't too hard this year, but from what I've heard from people who have already taken the classes, I don't think it is going to be quite as much work as APUSH was...Can anything be as much work as APUSH? lol. Plus, there are SO many things to look forward to this year...football games, pep rallies, variety show, prom dress shopping, musical, choir trip, senior trip, and prom. I think it is going to be the best year EVER!!!

So I'm going to the American Idol concert with Ms. Cassie Fisher in about 9 days. I'm uber excited!!!!! We've kinda made it a tradition to go to concerts together in the summer whenever possible. I think we are going to have an AMAZING night. Right Cassie?

ANYWAYS, I've pretty much run out of stuff to talk about. Not that anyone CARES seeing as no one uses this anymore and I've only gotten like 2 or 3 comments on my past entries . *sigh*...lol. I'll talk to you guys later!! Love ya!! Bye!!

Hey guys!!

I'm still missing GSH SO much. Next year is just not going to be the same for me at Oakland cause I'm going to keep wanting to compare it to GSH and it's just not going to live up to it AT ALL. *sigh* I wish I could do the five weeks over again...and again...and again. We have our reunion on December 2 but it's only 2 hours and it's just going to be even harder to leave these people all over again.

Well, I have senior pics this Thursday and I went out this weekend to buy a shirt to wear. I really did not like anything in my closet for pictures. That happens to me all the time, I buy something and I like it at the time but then I get home and I never like it as much as when I tried it on at the store. I hope my pictures turn out good because I'm going to be really depressed if they don't.

This weekend my sister was in town and surprisingly we really didn't do that much. We went to Coolsprings and I got a couple of shirts that I really like. Then Sunday Cassie and I went to go and see "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" I LOVED it, but I thought that there was way too much fighting. I also saw "Superman" which is AWESOME and I suggest that everyone go and see it. Brandon Routh is EXTREMELY hot by the way. Other than those few outings we pretty much sat around the house and watching tv shows and dvd's.

*sigh* This was a depressingly short entry for me. There really isn't that much to say cause i just got back from GSH and I haven't done all that much. So I'll talk to you guys later when I actually have something to talk about. Love ya!! Bye!!
