SNOW!!and school

So it snowed this weekend and started snowing this afternoon. So they released school early. So I got home at 2:30 or so instead of 3:15. Im going to go to the weight room at 4 to work out. Its coming down hard but its not big snowflakes or anything. With wind chill and everything its suppose to be -12 degrees tomorrow. we did the math at school today in english. funny because it was english and we were doing math. but it was to warm up our minds or somthing like that. This week we are going to read The Necklace in English as well as next week because its a short week. anyway, the story is about a lady who borrows a necklace from a friend to impress people at a party shes going to and ends up losing it. I only know this because ive already read it from last year. So my teacher, Mr. Melum(aka Mr. Melon), gave us this paper and told us that we were to write down 5 things that had value to us from most to least. So i was hesitant but wrote down 1. Blessing Dress 2. Journal 3. Scriptures (at this time i coudn't really think of anything else because all the rest i could live without but would still like to have.) 4. Homemade dresses 5. Makeup (to be funny). When Mr. Melum started asking people what they put as number one i noticed that most were things that didn't really in the long run matter. Things like X-box 360s, weight sets, and straightners. I started comparing these things and became very sad for those people who didn't really have anything to value or didn't reconize it. Then there were those that had things that were of sentimental(sp) value to them such as a necklace that contained ashes of a loved one, or pets that were priceless. At the end of all this he said, but there was one person who had something else......(writing on the board next to others) Faith. I never really thought of those things as representing my faith but i guess so because they do have to do with my faith. So it was a good lesson for me. Even though i don't like mr. melum sometimes he does ok in teaching life lessons. Since my last snow update its really coming down now. bigger snowflakes. flurrish.

So as of Monday I have a Facebook so if you want to be my friend leave a comment or look for me on facebook. Its so much fun.
School is going well and all of this week was half-days for conferences. Mom didn't make an appointment and didn't go in during the optional conference time. So she didn't go talk to my teachers but she talked to the rest of the kid's teachers. I didn't really care because I do have all A's and I don't know what she would say to them.
Evening of Excellence is next week and the theme is There's No Place Like Home -Wizard Of OZ-,
we made sparkly shoes and they are so cute!
Today there is no school in honor of Veterans Day. So happy Veterans Day!!

So this year I will not be playing basketball because I just don't want to this year and I got really tired of playing last year so I just decided that I won't play this year.
But anyhoo I had to write a sequel to a story we read in class. I haven't yet finished it but So far I think its going good. My last volleyball game was yesterday and we lost but we won the first game. I think that we just kind of threw it away. Which was very sad because it was our last game. We played riverview. The varsity won though. So thats good.
I am doing ok in school as far as I know.
Tonight we will be carving pumpkins for mutual and Im so excited I love carving pumpkins. For Halloween this year I am going to be Little Red Riding Hood. I'll try and post a pic in my costume but if I don't Im sure my mom will post a pic on her blog.
Seminary is going great Im learning lots about the church's history and all the funny little stories behind the scenes. This year we get to study Doctrine and Covenants. I love our teacher she does a really nice job every day. Every day someone has to do an opening devotional and today that was me. I went to the True to the Faith pamphlet and read what it said in there about Happiness. I think it sounded really good. Plus I luv being in there with all the great older examples.

Game against Ki-B

So last Thursday we won the game against Ki-B and it was great. It was the first time we won a game so everyone was pretty excited. I can't remember but I think we won all 3. :)

Well we have lost all our games.....so far. We don't have a game this week. JV and Varsity do tomorrow. School is fine. Right now I have straight A's. I have a 117% in Math right now so thats good. But only because he gives us extra credit every day so that probably helps alot. Other than that my life is good. Our house has company all week so it should be fun. My Uncle Jared is here till Wedesnday then that same night my Aunt Laurel is going to come with her and her fam then they are bringing along their friends, its so exciting.

Game 1

My first game was tuesday and we lost but I think we did pretty good considering the fact that our JV team was mostly freshman who are supposed to be on the C team that we dont have and they were all Sophmores abd Juniors. I played all the 3 rounds/games. We pretty much got our butts kicked, but not by alot. I think by the end of the season we will be able to beat them. They weren't like spectacularly amazing but they were good enough to win. I had a few good hits as well as others on the team. I had a really good tip too. That was my highlight of the game, it made a point. Then it was my turn to serve but I choked on that so I missed that point then the game was over so I don't know if it really counts. ;) We just have to get our passes down and stay low so we can get it to our setters then we can do a lot of things. I thin we will be ready for the game on thursday if we work hard to get it right.
