Yesterday I had a youth group thing. Originally, we were supposed to go sledding, but because it had only started snowing at ten, and there was barely an inch on the ground, they decided to go bowling. I, of course, was the only one who did not know (or realize) this. So, I showed up in warm sweatpants and an old shirt in my bulky winter boots with a sled and my snowpants. Everyone stared and simply said, "We decided to go bowling." Talk about being under dressed and embarrassed! We bowled two games and then went to Double D's. We realized we had an hour left, so we head back to the church to play lightning in the gym. I surprisingly beat everyone (including Mr. Whitcomb and Mr. Marcus) a few five times. Amazing!
So tonight Mom dyed her hair a smooth brown, and I started wanting to do something with my hair. You guys know me and my hair adventures.....Mom said that she would try to give me red highlights tonight, and I said "yes" without even considering it. Right now, I am waiting for my twenty minutes are up to see how much damage....ah I mean beauty......was done to my hair! (just kidding Mom! you know I will love it!!)
This is the last week of the trimester for us! The school year is two thirds of the way done!! I had to write a short story for English, and I found this site that gives you a scenario, character names, titles, and everything! I used the character names, but the rest was my own idea. We will see how I do......I killed everyone off.
My time is up, so I am going to go wash my hair......wish me luck! I may need it.

ok, so this is for my nana......she asked me to update a while ago.
Much has changed in my life, and much has remained the same old same old. Let me see...
We got a new, red impala. I am very excited, because I am thinking that this is my car!!! (about a year!!) Well, at least I WAS excited, until mom drove it, with the back door still open, out the garage. The open door was crushed, and we had to tow it. I don't think we had even owned it for fifteen days yet.
School is simply wonderful! Every day is better and better. I think I am confident on almost everyone's names, and if not, I have simply learned to just not use their name in conversation. My classes are all really fun right now. We just did scheduling a week ago, and I signed up for advanced chem(junior class), advanced Algebra 2, and advanced English. I guess I will have a full schedule, because I also signed up for genetics (a junior class). I hope I can do it. My bio teacher, Mr. Boucher, also nominated me for Circle of Excellence. There is two more weeks, including exams, of this trimester. Then, it is last trimester of the year!!! Amazing how fast my freshman year is going!!
Two words to describe my latest excitement- D R I V E R 'S T R A I N I N G!!!!!! Today I went to see Denny Ackerson to get papers to sign up for driver's ed. YES!!!! Finally, the day I have waited fourteen years and nine months for. The only downside is that I have to pay for half of it. But, I am still counting on Mom and Dad supplying my first car.....lol
Alex's birthday is on the 28th. That is also the day of Winterfest. I cannot believe my dad actually let me go!! I already even have a dress.
Well I am going to go eat pizza and watch Igor with the fam. More posting later, Nana!
