A Major Update

Well. I haven't written a blog in so long! So much has happened since October 8th! Homecoming happened. I didn't get to be on Homecoming Royalty but I had tons of fun being a candidate and meet some nice girls and caught up with some old ones in the process. The Homecoming dance was so much fun and the gym that I decorated with my Key Club looked fabulous! I will have to post some pictures later. Before the dance I ended up playing Ultimate Frisbee with my dance group, which was a blast!! I love Ulitmate Frisbee, I should play it more often. For dinner we went to a place called Epic. ha ha what a name. Anyways the food there was pretty well.... Epic. Then we went to the dance and took pictures and danced the night away! My date's parents also had an Indian Convention at the school so we kept running into his dad, and after the dance his dad gave me some free Indian food, which was delicious! :) Then we went to my dates house and watched Fast and Furious. Good night.

The next day I went and saw Owl City at the Venue! They were awesome and sang all my favorite songs and I got an awesome tee!

Hillcrest had its last football game on Friday. I think we lost.
I took the ACT on Saturday. I hope I did better.
I can't wait till I get the Taylor Swift Fearless Platinum Album in the mail!
I think thats it.
Any Suggestions for future blog posts would be great!
Love Always :)

HomeComing

Homecoming hasn't happened yet but I have been involved with many things for it so far. I am in Key Club at my school and as a club we are in charge of the Homecoming dance. This is fun but kind-of stressful too. We get to decorate, find the DJ, get the posters and tickets made, contact lifetouch for photos, and sell the tickets during lunch. The great thing is that we get free tickets!! :) So the past couple of weeks I have been doing all of that kind-of stuff.
Another Homecoming related thing I have I have been involved in is that I am one of the Homecoming Candidates! I am the cadidate for Key Club. As candidate I have been doing lunch activities such as Obstacle Courses, Karoke, finding gummi worms in flour, trying to pour pixie sticks into a cup holding it by your nose and also getting pixie stick poured all over yourself, and a Hairy leg contest. Yesterday was the Homecoming Candidate Assembly where we all got dressed up and walked down the aisles and stood on the stage as they read bios about us, we also did a candidate dance during the assembly where we danced to a song called Rockstar. I believe. Later at 6:00pm I came to the school for Burning of the H. Where the candidates get to ride around the track in cool cars as they announce our names. I rode in an awesome yellow truck that is my friend Daniel's! It was sick!! After we rode around the track they had the cheer leaders do a bunch of pep rally type cheers, pep band performed, Men's Drill performed which was awesome this year!! I love this so much!!, a bunch of people did Camp Dance, there was a skit, a candle light cermony which is one of my favorite things, and fireworks and Burning of the H!! It was an all around great night with friends just hanging out and seeing what an awesome school Hillcrest is!!
Voting for Homecoming Royalty is Friday! 
The Homecoming dance is Saturday and I can't wait!!
On Sunday I am going to Owl City which is going to be way awesome too!! :)
Ta ta for now

Jai Ho!

This has been one epic weekend and week! First of all this weekend I went to Sadie Hawkins with my great friend Tyler, and a bunch of my other really good friends! It was Hollywood themed and we dressed up like movie stars! For the day activity we went mini golfing and I got a way epic hole in one!! For the night activity we watched Hot Rod which is a hilarious movie, if you want a good laugh you should see that movie!!

So Sadies was just awesome! This week I have been planning Homecoming, since I am part of Key Club, and we are now the official club that plans Homecoming. But anyways I have been doing a lot of thinking of what the decorations and all that should be for the dance, and today I got a little surprise! I found out that I am going to be Key Clubs Homecoming Candidate! My friends gave me a little congratulations cake and told me the news! At first I wasn't sure how I felt about being a candidate, but I think it will be pretty fun, no matter what happens! ha ha! :)

I will fill you in more as Homecoming apporaches and what will go down as candidate! :)

Love Always!

Senior Year.

Oh man. So much has happened since I last posted something, it is crazy!
I have been in my Senior year of high school for two weeks now, and it is interesting. Most seniors have the easiest classes so everything seems so easy. Not me. I have 6 IB classes. I do have to say that some of them aren't all that bad and even kinda fun. But a lot of it is just a ton of work and very stressful. I am excited to be a senior but it is just so much different than I imagined it to be.
Anyways enough of me complaining.
Last Saturday I went to U92s Summer Jam, that was an interesting experience. But as always I had fun hanging with my buds.
I asked this one kid to Sadie Hawkins so I will be going to that with a fun group of people!
I turn 18 in 8 days! Wahoo!
Tonight I am going to a Bees Game.
Last night I saw 500 Days of Summer.
I love the song Make You Feel My Love.
My extended essay is due in 6 days.
My high school has one two football games so far which is really good for us.
My brother is at the US Open and I wish I could be there.
And finally, I want to go DANCE.

Concerts of the Summer Season

This summer it was my goal to go to more concerts, and plays and such and I think I did pretty well! Here are a few that I went to:

• Taylor Swift, this was an amazing concert and I hope to go to more!
• Kenny Chensney, this was a fun one with my mom I bought a cool t-shirt and went to Rio Tinto for the very first time!
• Broadway and More, went to this at the Sandy Ampitheater and saw two guys and a girl sing many different broadway songs. They were pretty darn good!
• ABBA, saw this at the Sandy Ampitheater also obiviously it wasn't the actual ABBA band but they were still way awesome, and wore the ABBA's actual costumes!
• Suesical the musical, saw this on saturday and it was way cute! My school last year performed this for our musical and I was interested to see how it compared.

Song of the Moment:

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep

Cause they'd fill the open air And leave tear drops everywhere

You'd think me rude but I would just stand and Stare

I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns, slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Cause everything is never as it seems Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach my how to dance A foxtrot above my head A sock-hop beneath my bed

The disco ball is just hanging by a thread(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns, slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack(Please take me away from here)

Cause I feel like such an insomniac(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep?(Please take me away from here)

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell(Said farewell)

But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar(Jar, jar, jar...)

I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns, slowlyIt's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems(When I fall asleep)[x2]

I'd like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns, slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
