my life
so much stuff has happened to me this past week and i really don't want to go into detail but i will just say that life is so unexpected. I went to the LSU/ Ole Miss game with my friend Alex and we had a blast. It was so much fun to just explore this unknown campus. Neither one of us had been there before but we were there to visit her sister and alex bought tickets with one of her friends for the game but her friend ended up bailing on her. So Friday night, Alex and I were at the Civitan informal and she told me she had a free ticket if i wanted to go with her because she didn't want to go by herself. Being the person that i am and at one o'clock at night, I told her heck yes i'll go! Before i knew it we pack and leave around two thirty and we drive three hours to her house to get the tickets and slept for an hour. After that we head out to the lovely town of Baton Rouge for the game. So LSU didn't win but we still had a blast going and it's so much fun making memories from crazy decisions. But I'm so excited about the break next week and i just havent decided if i wanted to leave on tuesday or monday. I need to study a lot over the break and start to get ready for our finals! :(

Laguna Formal
So our laguna formal was this weekend and it was amazing! we had so much fun dancing and getting away from boring clinton. I had such an eventful weekend because i had so many people come over to my house because i live in clinton. My mom and dad were such a big help allowing twenty people to stay and feeding all of them. I was kind of skeptical about the whole thing when i talked to my mother on the phone on friday morning because she seemed like she wasn't in a good mood but when we arrived at the house they did great. I really really appreciate them and all the people that stayed at my house because they were respectful. I know that if i had that many people stay at my house that are my home town friends, my house would have been trashed and they would have been really loud. But our formal was set up so beautifully and it fulfilled my expectations. The food was delicious and we definitely got our moneys worth. But it was fun to just get away and relax for once. And i'm so glad that everyone had a great time and this weekend i'm going to the civitan informal and i hope to have just as much fun as i did this weekend and i know i will :)

final game
SO THIS weekend was our last tournament. The first game we played was with Texas Lutheran and we won in overtime. That game was rediculous because they played defense the whole time because they couldn't score on us. It was weak on our part though because we should have put more goals in to make it not go into overtime. The second round was amazing. We played University of Texas at Dallas and we dominated the whole game. But, we lost. The story is that we had control of the ball the whole time. The one mistake our defense makes, they score. We we're going down that easy because we wanted that game so bad. So we worked and worked and finally tied the game up by an amazing header. The game is tied by the end of the two halfs and we have to take it to overtime. In overtime, the first team to score wins, regardless of how much time is left. So we go into the first overtime and everyone is exhausted because they worked so hard during the previous ninety minutes. No one scores, the second overtime is almost at an end. They score of an indirect kick with fifty-seven second left to go until we would have done penalty kicks. Wow, the season is over and it's definitely not fair because we were, hands down, the better team. It was hard watching the seniors cry because this was a first to see them so vulnerable. I love them all to death and hate to have the season over but it was worth the time and friendships. :)

paper overload!
today is my day to write! So i am currently 5 papers deep. Wow, how can i get so far behind? i never realized it but i am the biggest procrastinator ever.
I have been putting behind these papers because i overestimate how hard they really are. I try to get my work done in order of importance and get the hard stuff over with first, now that i think about it the hard stuff to me is writing. I don't know why i really don't like writing but sometimes i wish i did because that seems like it would be such an easy thing to do with yourself. Clever people can just write all day and have all these secret hidden codes and messages behind their work and i can't even write a paper on what i think about college? there is definitely something wrong with that. But i guess i can give myself some lee way because i know that i'm good at my major and not a lot of other people are. But those are my thoughts for the week. I even surprised that i even got my blog up close to the turn in time!

life pt2
Finally i wrote a blog on time! I am so relieved that Emily Alexander told me lol that girl my be silly but she keeps me on task. This week was difficult because the coach and i got into it for no reason. It just happened to be that we both were being very stubborn and thats what started the fight, i'm not going to go into detail about it but it bothers me because i haven't got to talk to him and apologize for what happened. Also my english papers are slowing me down. Before fall break i was on a roll with writing them. I would write a paper in less than an hour and since we've been back from our break i've lost my smoothness. I'm back to the slow writer that has nothing to say but the truth. I just don't understand writing. I don't feel like i'm creative enough to come up with good transitions and have a main idea through out. I always end up saying random things. But I really loved homecoming this weekend and the game was interesting, the girls looked beautiful, and the bonfire smores were amazing! I love the things our school puts together and i appreciate it so much! thanks MC!
life pt1
so life has been having its ups and downs lately. I feel happy one day, sad the next and just blah another day. I always have on a happy face because all my friends make it impossible for me to frown :) I know this blog is a week late but i'm still going to write it lol, so i did a service project for laguna and it was a lot of fun besides the fact that we folded sheets of paper and stuffed envelopes for four hours. But the fact that they appreciated it so much made it all worthwhile and i got a chance to talk to some of the girls about personal things and realized that everyone is pretty much going through the same thing. School is still the hardest thing for me to adjust to becuase i'm so used to making good grades without studying and here i have to study! But with soccer and laguna i feel like to keep sane the hour i have for lunch if for socializing with my friends and not for school. But soccer and rush are almost over, i can push through it!

WOW!
So this week I didn't make the travel team. I knew it was going to happen....
I got DEMOTED! I have been better at going to classes but i also had my phone screw up. With that being the only alarm clock that i have, it definitely sucked when i woke up at 10:45 and i missed two classes! I wanted to cry at this point because i had already missed so many classes and i was prepared to go! but i also have been so busy with laguna. I have a lot of late nights due to this but it's worth it. My pledge class is getting closer because of that and i love it. All the girls are great and its cool to see the different personalities of all the girls. I went home this weekend for the first time and it was so different. I knew all the people and had fun but i realized that all my friends back home are not such a good influence on me as the ones i have here. And not only that, but they don't have the kinds of worries that i have in my. Theirs are completely different such as jobs, what's going on that night, living at home. I didn't realize that i've grown up so much that i've been here. I will talk about it more next blog!
