Dear Blank, Please Blank

I pretty much love this site: http://www.dearblankpleaseblank.com/
It's seriously entertaining to sit and read!! Here are some of my favorites:

Dear Feet,
Please forgive me.
Sincerely,
These Shoes Are Just So Pretty

Dear Geometry,
Thanks for preparing me for that very important time in my life when someone asks me to name all of the properties of an isosceles triangle off the top of my head.
Sincerely,
Oh wait.....

Dear Stephanie Meyer,
Please note that when the love of Hermione's life left her, she continued to search for the keys to destroying the world's most powerful dark wizard. When the love of Bella's life left her, she curled up in the fetal position, went numb for months then jumped off a cliff.

Hello and Goodbye

It's the start of the second semester! I'm happy to say that I ended 2nd term with another 4.0! That was my tenth in a row which means my consecutive GPA for high school is still a 4.0! It took a lot of work but it was worth it. Hopefully I'll do just as good this semester.

Third term brought about some changes. Some good and some bad.

I said goodbye to Gym and hello to Driver's Ed/Titan Pride!
Getting out of Fit For Life makes me incredibly happy. I hated that class more than any other. Driver's Ed should be fine but right now I'm in Titan Pride, a study skills class that goes along with it. It's the most pointless class I've ever been in. So far my teacher has just tried to teach us to write with our non-dominant hand and told us blonde jokes. Oh well, at least it'll be an easy A.

I said goodbye to Health and hello to Child Development!
Health was not a good class or a bad one. I didn't mind going, especially since I sat by Baylee. We had a pretty good time, and I might actually miss it a little. But I do think child development will be pretty fun. (:

I said goodbye to Interior Design and hello to Guitar!
Interior Design was probably my favorite class I've ever taken. I learned so much and had a lot of fun. I'll definitely miss this class a lot. Hopefully I'll be taking Interior Design 2 next year though. However, even though I'm really sad about that, I can't wait for guitar!!!!!! I get to be in there with Baylee! Plus, it's always been a goal of mine to learn another instrument. I really hope I can do it and that it will be a lot of fun. I know it'll take a lot of work but I'll put the time in for sure.

Because of guitar, I had to go buy one to have for the class!!



I love it and can't wait to learn how to play! I'm crossing my fingers that I'll pick it up quick!

Silly Girls

Today was actually a pretty eventful day! It started out by going to lunch with some friends. After I got home, Whitnie invited Megan over. My dad took Whitnie, Megan, Aubrey, and I out to get ice cream. We went to Farr's Fresh. That is such a cute little place! I loved it! I tried the cake batter ice cream with waffle cone pieces anad oreo cookies mixed in. It was absolutely fabulous. Then we went to the dollar store. All the girls got these rocket balloons. Basically you blow them up really big and when you let them go they make screaming noises. They're pretty loud, let me tell you.

Anyways, after all that we came home to play Kinect. I took some pictures of them while they played, because let's face it, you look ridiculous doing it. Ha ha. Here are some of the highlights:








Ha ha I love Kinect. It was a fun day. (:

"Life is Good"

I got the Life is Good blog award from Abbie! Thanks so much! You're too sweet! (: Check out her blog, I love it. I also just got it from Mikayla! Make sure to stop by her blog as well! She always has the funnest posts to read!

Here are the rules of accepting the award:
1. First, thank and link back to the person that gave the award.
2. Answer the 10 survey questions. - Please see below!
3. Pass the award along to other bloggers whom you think are fantastic.
4. Contact the bloggers you have chosen to let them know about the award.

******************************************************************

The Questions and My Answers!

1. If you blog anonymously, are you happy doing this? If you aren't anonymous, do you wish you started out anonymously, so that you could be anonymous now?
No, I don't really feel a need to be anonymous. This is my story! Let people see me for who I am.

2. Describe an incident that shows your inner stubborn side.
Like Abbie said, I have the hardest time admitting I'm wrong. Even if half-way through an argument, I realize that I'm wrong, I'll keep arguing! I can't accept defeat. (:

3. What do you see when you really look at yourself in the mirror?
I see a girl who goes through life just trying to be happy and enjoy the small things.

4. What is your favourite summer cold drink?
I love strawberry lemonade. Yum.

5. When you take time for yourself, what do you do?
When I take time for myself, I love to read a book, watch my favorite TV shows, or bake myself some cookies. (:

6. Is there something that you still want to accomplish in your life?
There are a lot of things I want to accomplish in my life. Right now, a big one for me is learning "Suggestion Diabolique" on the piano. Ever since Brinley played it at our pageant I've loved it. It's going to take a lot of work but I believe I can do it. It'd also be pretty fun to say I've been sky diving but that scares me too much... Ha ha.

7. When you attended school, were you the class clown, the class overachiever, the shy person, or always ditching?
I'm pretty much the over achiever. I strive for the best all the time and if I ever end up without a 4.0, I'll have a hard time convincing myself the world isn't going to end.

8. If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment in your life, what would you see?
I had no idea what poignant meant so I looked it up. "Poignant: sharply distressing or painful to the feelings"
First of all, I don't know why I'd want to visualize a moment like that but if I did I'd probably see something terrible like a death of someone close to me... That'd be very painful....

9. Is it easy for you to share your true self in your blog, or are you more comfortable writing posts about other people and events?
It's very easy for me to share my true self. My blog is a place for me to write everything down and I don't have a problem sharing my thoughts.

10. If you had the choice to sit down and read a book or talk on the phone, which would you choose and why?
I would definitely read a book. I love to just get lost in another world or someone else's life. It helps me forget all about my own problems. Plus, I'm just not a phone type of person. I'm a texter, not a caller.
******************************************************************

Now to pass on the award! I'd like to give it to the following people whose blogs I absolutely love. They always have something interesting to say and bring a smile to my face. (:

Have fun!!

New Years Eve!

What a great day it was! (: First, I went shopping and got a cute new outfit. Makes the whole day better! Then I went to the stake dance, A Neon New Year's,  with Kenz and Brady. I guess I'm a dork for liking stake dances but I think they're fun. (: This one wasn't my favorite but it was fun anyways. It was great when they dropped all the balloons at midnight and everyone popped their party poppers and screamed! It was actually exciting for once! Last year, I spent the night home alone with my dog. The year before that, I watched Marley and Me with Erin at nine and spent the rest of the night super depressed. So I'll take the dance. (:

Happy 2011 everyone! Make it the best year yet! (:
