Time For A Change!

Over the summer my family went house hunting.  We needed a new house very badly!  We kept putting in bids on houses we liked and we kept getting denied!  Finally towards the end we got picked for three different houses.  We went back to take a look at the houses we qualified for and started eliminating.  We got down to two houses.  Me and my sister wanted a house that wasn't too far from Deer Valley so atleast I can finish my high school career as a Skyhawk.  The two houses we were looking at were one by Mountain Ridge and one by Greenway High School.  It was difficult to decide which one we wanted because they were both beautiful!  Finally we chose the house near Greenway, (and walking distance to my BESTFRIEND'S HOUSE!!).  It took them about 3 MONTHS to get all the paperwork done and finally, Yesterday, we got the key to the house!! I can't wait to finally have my own room!!!

Life With No Mouse

I feel like today is already starting off with too many delays!  I came into Graphic Design and my computer wouldn't turn on.  I felt like an idiot having to have somebody turn on my computer for me, but I had no choice!  Then my mouse was frozen so I restarted my computer.  When I booted it back up it was STILL frozen!  I am working on my computer with no mouse right now!  I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to be able to do the photoshop tools without a mouse!:O

LA$ VEGA$

I am SUPER excited for thursday because my family is leaving for Nevada for a softball showcase.  We have been preparing for this for a long time!!  In this showcase we play other teams and are watched by the college coaches.  Also, a couple people from my team are signed up for an individual camp which means we get put on different teams and the college coaches get to coach us.  My plan for this is to be the most outgoing and hard working player on the team.  I must cheer on my teammates, if though I don't know who they are, and give 110%.  I'm really hoping this will be the tournament I get scouted in and hopefully D-1 colleges will be watching me!!

I Worked Hard To Get Where I Am!

Ever since 3rd grade, (when we actually started to get real grades), getting good grades has been a priority for me.  in 3rd grade they tested me for Sage, an honors program, for reading and math. I qualified for the math sage and she told me I wasn't that far from qualifing for the reading but I didn't getting into reading sage.  That was alright with me, afterall I still made it into the math sage.  So, since 4th grade I've been in honors math, which has really payed off already!  I mean, I'm a junior and whie many of my other classmates still have to take another year of math I don't and can get a half day, even though I'm taking another year of math... Oh well!:)  Also as soon as I got into high school I signed up for the honors classes; freshman year-honors biology, honors LA, Geometry honors, sophomore year- honors chemistry, honors world history, honors LA, and Alg 3-4 honors, junior year- AP US history, college spanish, college LA, college pre-cal.  I've had my plate full since I started but do you want to know where it got me?... TOP 10% OF MY CLASS THATS WHERE!!  And I've been inducted into the honor societies at DV.  I'm glad I didn't ease up on myself or quit when it got hard, instead I pushed through to succeed!

The X-Factor

The X-Factor is a new singing show that Me, my sister, and my mom have been HOOKED to!  The judges include Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, and LA Reid.  It has been on for awhile and we've been watching from the beginning.  Last night was a night of pure confusion!  Each judge has a categorie: over 30's, girls, boys, and groups.  In these categories are either 8 people or 8 groups.  Last night each judge had to cut their group from 8 to 4.  As we were watching there were people we thought should have made it and didn't and people we thought for sure would have gone home and made it!  Then it was down to my favorite girl and my mom's favorite girl.  Only one of them was going to make it but they definitely both deserved it!  We waited and waited to hear the resu;ts and my girl made it, I was happy but at the same time sad because the other girl deserved just as much as my girl did!  Then the host said, "and that is the judges final four,... or is it?"  Right then I was sure they were going to put my mom's girl through too.  Simon flew out to Florida to personaly apologize for what he said was "a huge mistake", and I agreed, and said that all the judges got together and decided that she didn't deserve to go home and that she would be back on the show.  She was awestruck and couldn't speak.  But that didn't stop her dad from talking for her!  He right away said "she'll do it!"  The family was so exstatic!  CONGRATULATIONS MELANIE AMARO!

Pen Pal from New Zealand!!!!

My friend, over the summer, signed up for a penpal thing in New Zealand.  I thought it was a super cool way to meet someone new and especially way over there!  I've always wanted to marry someone from Australia and she's always wanted to marry someone from New Zealand so she was already one step ahead getting a pen pal out there!  He even sent her things made in New Zealand for her birthday!  I'm very excited because she said the next time she skypes him I can meet him!  I hope it's soon because he seems really nice and I really want to hear his accent!!! I LOVE FOREIGN ACCENTS!!
