Brinley! She's such an inspiration! She's beautiful, talented, so much fun, and just amazing. She's even inspired me to learn Suggestion Diabolique after I heard her play it at the pageant. I hope to be able to play it as well as she does someday!

End of Term

This was probably the most stressful term I've ever had. With two days left, I had straight A's and a C! A C!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. And it was in guitar, of all classes that could ruin my 4.0 GPA, it had to be an elective. It wasn't fair either because I hadn't had the opportunity to pass off my missing song. The way it works in Mr. Waymen's class is we get 15 minutes at the end of class to pass off songs. There are around 40 kids in my class and we had to pass off 6 songs this term. Now if each song takes about five minutes to play, how are all 40 students going to pass off all 6 songs in 15 minutes every day? Not to mention he missed like 12 days this term. I was willing to do it before school, during lunch, on the weekend, WHENEVER. But he refused to accomodate any of us and said that pass-offs were only during class and if you didn't make it through the line, too bad for you.

So my mom emailed him, called him 3 times, and tried to go down to talk to him at the school but he wasn't there. Eventually he called her back and told her that if I could manage to get in line really fast the last day of term, and play the hardest song really well and sing, I'd be capable of doing well enough to go from a C to an A. So I practiced for 6 hours on Thursday hoping I'd be good enough! I needed at least a 94/100. Singing gives me 5 extra credit points. But the best I'd ever gotten on any easy song was 91. And this was the hardest song of the term, so it was a lot of pressure!

Baylee was in the same situation as me so Friday, we got permission from our 7th period teachers to leave class five minutes early so we could get to guitar early and make sure we got to sit right next to his office so we could be the first in line for pass-offs. Luckily, we were close to the front and I got the opportunity to go pass off my song, Kumbaya! After I finished, he told me my fingers weren't pushing hard enough on the strings and that the sound was too blended so I didn't think I did it, but he told me I did well and kept going so he'd give me a 94!!!!! I GOT AN A! That was my 12th 4.0 in a row! An accomplishment that I'm really proud of!!

However, things didn't go so well for Bay. He wouldn't let her pass it off, so she ended up with a D-. She got her mom involved though and they screamed at each other for an hour and now they're going to talk to the principal about it. So much drama! Anyways, he gave her an incomplete until she is able to pass off her songs. So hopefully this all ends well!

Needless to say, I'm thrilled that the term is over. This year is flying by so fast it's crazy!

To celebrate:
♥ Did some more Wreck This Journal-ing!


♥ My dad bought the world's largest pizza. No joke, it was HUGE. I came home and saw it on the counter and my jaw dropped!

♥ Went to see Red Riding Hood with Bay and Aly! LOVED it! It was pretty freaky but a totally amazing movie. It was just so intense! (Yes, I did have Sophie with me which was a little scary, but I had everything ready to go so I was able to take care of her crying before it got loud and I didn't have to leave the movie. What a well behaved baby. ;)

Meet Sophie!

This was my weekend to take home a Real-Care baby for child development! I was pretty excited about it actually. I had heard from so many people that they hated it, but I loved it! It was so much fun! I don't really want to give her back! I've just fallen in love with her! Most of the time it was pretty easy. She didn't wake up too much at night, other than Saturday. Even then it was liveable. My only problem was that her head was super sensitive! If it even moved a little bit, or the car seat was bumped or something, Sophie would scream indicating that her head fell too far back. So that was kind of frustrating. But really, it was a way fun weekend.
Isn't she an adorable little hispanic baby? (:
I even found a cute little hat that matched her outfit for her to wear. (:

Bachelor Finale Party!

Yesterday, Baylee, Kenzie, Brady, and I got to together to have a Bachelor Finale Party! Love these girls. We brought some treats and anxiously watched the last episode. We were all Emily fans and dying for her to win. She has absolutely been my favorite since day 1. She's so sweet, gorgeous, and genuine. I couldn't say enough good things about her. When the first limo pulled up, ususally the girl who doesn't win, and Chantal stepped out, we all started screaming. Best day ever! Brad chose EMILY!
The proposal was absolutely the sweetest. thing. ever. I was dying. I love them together and I'm just sooo happy she won! I really hope they last. She deserves the best and so does her little girl. You can really tell how much he loves her and I just hope everything works out for them.

Then they announced the next Bachelorette for next season. It's Ashley H! I don't love her but I definitely don't dislike her. I would much rather have her be it than Chantal or most of the other girls. So I'm excited for that! (:

What'd you think? (:

I LOVE music. "It's not what I do, it's who I am." I love playing the piano, the guitar, listening to music and singing along. Music is such a huge part of my life that I absolutely love. I don't know what I'd do without it. ♥

Events of the Weekend

I've found that life has been pretty boring lately! I'm getting rather sick of the routine of everyday life. I feel like I wake up, got to school, come home, do homework, go to bed, and do it all over again the next day. I just have to learn to enjoy the small things in life I guess. Anyways, some of the things I did over the weekend:

♥ Went to Megan's baptism
What a gorgeous girl! It was a beautiful baptism! I haven't been to one in so long it was nice! Megan is quite the inspiration! She sets an amazing example for everyone and I just love her to death! ♥
♦ Went to see I Am Number Four with Bay!
It was a really good movie! Super intense, but I loved it! Baylee and I have so much fun together. (:

♦ Read this book:
I'm about halfway through it, and so far, it's not exactly my favorite book. I loved To Kill A Mockingbird last term, but this one is just not doing it for me.

Well, that's pretty much it. It was kind of a low-key weeked. Not looking forward to Monday and the new school week, but I'll live.


30 Day Challenge: Day 5

Day 5: A Picture That Always Makes You Laugh

As soon as I read the description I thought of this picture! Meet my beautiful best friend Baylee! Poor thing always has the craziest facial expressions when we take spontaneous pictures! But she's a good sport and this picture is amazing. It brings back some good memories. (: I just love you Baylee!!! What would we do without you!?!

Day 2: A Picture of You and the Person You Have Been Closest with the Longest
I could have used a ton of people for this one. I'm so lucky to have such amazing people in my life. But I decided to do a picture of the three people I'm closest to now (assuming Bay was in this picture but I didn't have a pic of all four of us so just pretend. :) I would trust these girls with my life. They make me smile and laugh all the time. I tell them everything and our friendships are all so close. I know they'll always be there for me and I love them to death!!!! Thanks for being so amazing you gorgeous girls! ♥

30 Day Challenge: Day 1

On Facebook, people have been doing this 30 Day Challenge thing. I decided it might be a fun thing to do on my blog, just a little post everyday during March to go along with the usual.

Day 1: A Picture of Yourself with 15 Facts

1. I always do the left side of my hair first. Always. But in the end, the right side usually looks better.
2. I can't fall asleep unless I'm facing a window.
3. I like to do things in multiples of five. It's almost OCD. If I do something with one finger, I have to do it with the rest of my fingers. The volume number on the TV has to be a mulitple of five. I'm just weird.
4. I'm just a really picky eater. Especially when it comes to meat which I don't eat most of the time.
5. I play two instruments, the guitar and the piano.
6. Math is the hardest school subject for me, it just doesn't make sense.
7. I've eaten Escargots twice.
8. I have a bad habit of popping my back, fingers, toes, and ankles, but I can't seem to stop.
9. For whatever reason, I like the taste of blood. I'm not a freak vampire or whatever, but you know how if you cut your finger open you stick it in your mouth? Yeah, I just like the way it tastes.
10. A lot of my friends call me Barbie.
11. Up until a month or so ago, I thought Alaska was an island. But hey, if it's not they shouldn't show it looking like an island on the U.S. Map down by Hawaii!
12. I just don't like tongues. They just gross me out.
13. I love dressing up. I'd take a fancy dress over sweats any day of any week.
14. My favorite way to do my hair is curly, but it takes too long!
15. My favorite scent is Dancing Waters from Bath and Body Works!
