Track!!

Track starts soon!! YAY!! I'm actually happy for this sport to start :) I've heard pretty good things about it, and since I've been running all winter in preperation for this (and cross country season), I'm a little ahead of the other distance runners who were out for other winter sports such as basketball/weightlifting. So, today and part of last week, we (we being the distance runners) ran for about 4-5 miles each day, and I can definately tell that I've got a huge advantage for the first week of 'conditioning'.

Lehman (the XC and track coach) and I have been talkin (he's pretty young, so he gets along easily with the students... and he's overly cynical and sarcastic. But of course I like this :) and we were talking about what I would run. I am MOST DEFINATELY not a sprinter... I learned that in middle school track... but anyway, I am now assigned the freshman 2 mile runner... hopefully that's not too bad... who knows...

WHITE OUT!!

Okay, so we've had A TON of snow in the past 2 days, and it's getting on my nerves. I've been assigned to clean the areas where the tractor needs to go, and it could be an easy job if it weren't for the wind bringing in more and MORE snow ALWAYS!! I scoop a place, dump the snow in a pile, and turn around to find that I can't even see my own tire tracks!

Dad's feeding tractor just barely fits under the long building (you know, the building that's really long)'s roof. Now, with the snow, he rubs against the top. It's my job with the skidloader to clean away this area. But, the problem is that every time I scoop it away and let him through, then by the next time he needs to get through, there's the snow AGAIN!!! ARG!!!!!!

Whatever could calm my nerves!!
The thought of no school tomorrow if the weather remains the same. That would be very nice:) Tuesdays supposed to be a 'screw around' day and so that sounds like fun, but it's still school and precious time I could be wasting away sleeping:)

Have a fabulous christmas!

Pre-Thanksgiving Joy

Some of you may not be happy with my title. You may ask yourself, "This is the little red-headed kid we strive to make uncomfortable and to pick on, right?" Well, you cannot stop my cannonading of joyous yells becuase... EVERYTHING IS DONE!!! By this, I mean that all my extremely time consuming extra curricular activies are OVER, DONE, ENDED, FINITE!!!!!

The musical was a success, and very fun for both the crowd and the crew. As I promised to my mom, I found something else to occupy my time. As I said, after all that business, I needed something to slow me down, but not bring me to a complete stop. I found myself... speech team. This is also extremely enjoyable, and somewhere where I can be my sarcastic and entertaining self. I like the acting part of it, and also to be with people who enjoy being sarcastic also.

As strange, odd, and unseemly as this may sound, I am trying to stay in shape by running regular miles after school and during the weekends. Now, I've taken it upon myself to assign me a nice long break... now that that weeks over, I'll have to get back into shape ;( Poor me ;( O well, I still enjoy the running, and it feels great to still be in shape. Thanksgiving is a-coming, and I just can't wait to see all of you! EVEN CHARITY!!! I haven't seen any family since the 4th of July except for Becka... and we all can guess what that'll do to a person!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

2nd Quarter!

October 23rd signified the end of the 1st quarter of my HIGH SCHOOL CAREER. It went well. I am not a 4.0 student, but that's because of my ONE A- in one class. Care to guess what class? It is a very unlikely class, so if you don't guess it... but feel free to comment!

As Becka repeatedly points out to me at EVERY SINGLE LUNCH... I missed the last Hooyer 'gathering', and of course I feel horrible about that. But! I have a chance to redeem my dignity through the infamous Hooyer Thanksgiving congregation. I plan to attend and hope that this proposition is enough to reinstate my pride... or at least I hope that there's good food:)

Oklahoma practice is becoming very tedious and late (in the night). I think the director sometimes forgets that we actually do have homework, and she lets us out at 10:00. I haven't been getting near enough sleep... but as my mom says, '2 more weeks!' After that, I am done with the musical and cross country. I still have other things, but they aren't as 'special'.
