Wow! The stresses of senior year. There’s so much to worry about and so many get togethers with friends. What to choose? Hmm.. Well, for me, it’s always hanging out with friends and it’s starting to catch up with me.
I’m the Media Commissioner in Cabinet, which means I’m in charge of the memories video. Last year when I signed up to do the memories video, I didn’t know what I was in for! It’s so much work. What goes in the memories video: A section of every sport, a picture section, a senior section, a Band section, a JROTC section, a choir section and I’m sure there’s more I can’t think of now. I’ve worked all year and now it’s down to a month until it shows for the school. UGGGGGGGHHHHHHH! I’m nervous, anxious, excited, STRESSED, STRESSED and STRESSED!
Thank the Lord for my wonderful media teacher, Coach Davis, for giving me the month off of HTV to work on the memories video. I couldn’t make it without him :)
Next time I blog, I should be able to report on how the video went over :)
Out of all my years here at Hillcrest, the sports have never been too hot. We’ve always given it our all, but we usually couldn’t pull it out on top. But this year, that all changed! Our football team made it past the first round of play-offs, which was the first time in history, our girl’s golf team made it to State and now, boy’s basketball is headed to State! I can’t believe it!
I’ve been to just about every basketball game this year and I’m so glad I haven’t missed many! It’s been so worth it and I’ve had so much fun.
The basketball games have made my senior year. The chant, “I believe that we have won!” has been the best part of this year!
State is this next weekend and I’ll probably be back on here to report how we did. We’re at an 11 game win streak, hopefully we’ll keep it going!! :)
Last year I heard all the seniors saying how stressful senior year was. I honestly had no idea what they were talking about until this semester and man, were they right!
ACT scores, colleges, applications, memories video, deadlines, homework, studying, and the list goes on and on. But if you want to know the honest truth, I can’t complain! I love every minute of it! While a lot of my friends are past ready to get out of high school, I’m still enjoying it! I’m not ready for new friends, strict deadlines, moving out or a whole new school!
For my four years of being in high school, I’ve had so much fun! I’ve made some of my very best friends, the best memories and learned a little on the way.
One of my favorite memories of high school so far was Homecoming this year! Before this year, I’d never really looked forward to a dance, but last October, I couldn’t wait! I got all dressed up, picked up in the coolest EVER, by the sweetest, most perfect guy in the world and danced and danced and danced! It was the most fun I’d ever had at a dance! :)
I sort of regret now not going to a lot of the high school dances because I had so much fun at the last one, but I’m trying not to think about that. I just try to look forward to the upcoming dances! The next one we have is LPA and I can’t wait!
It’s on February 12th and you’ll probably be hearing more about it soon :)
Of everyone in world, I’m probably the biggest procrastinator EVER. Just ask Coach Davis ;) This blog was due a week ago! So.. with that being said, I have lost the list of ideas to blog about and will be coming up with something off the top of my head. Here’s the best I’ve got.. My new favorite movie, The Blind Side.
I’ve seen previews for The Blind Side for a couple months now and planned on seeing it the day it came out. Well, that Friday came along and I had other plans :/ So, I had to wait about a week and let me tell you.. It was worth the wait!!
If you haven’t heard about it yet, I’ll give you a summary. The Blindside is about a guy named, Michael Oher. He was poor, homeless and only had one shirt to wear. One night, the Tuohy family was driving and saw him walking down the road. They were rich and very kind hearted. He went to stay the night at their house and LeAnn Tuohy, the mom, grew attached to him and Michael permanently moved in. They take him to a private school and he learns to play football. He ends up going to Ole Miss and gets drafted into the NFL. He now plays for the Baltimore Ravens and is number 74.
My summary really didn’t give the movie justice. Soo.. my best advice to you is: GO SEE IT! I promise it’s worth every penny :)
Football season.. The very best time of the year! I’m probably the girliest girl you’ll ever meet but when it comes to Hillcrest Football, I’m the biggest fan out there! :) I love everything about it! And this year, we’re doing better than we have in a while. So far, we’re 3 and 2 and since my freshman year, we’ve been 2 and 8. We’re coming right along :)
A couple weeks ago, we played Camdenton, which is known as a pretty tough team around here. We went into the game with most people thinking we didn’t have a chance. Boy, did we prove them wrong! We went in and played our hardest and had three touchdowns in the first half. It was by far the best game I’ve ever been to in my life! At the end of the game, we came out on top with a score of 27 to 8. I’d never been so happy before in my life :)
My senior has started with a bang and I can’t wait to see what’s in store! I’ll keep ya updated :)
Wow, Am I tired?! I’m completely wiped out and am SICK of eating out! The Grand Ole Opry is the only thing keeping me going at this point!
Well, I believe the last time I blogged we were leaving D.c. Since then, I’ve been to Virginia Beach and Charlotte, NC. I’ll start with Virginia Beach!
Ughhh! It was boring! Nothing was open being that we visited out of “beach season,” and not to mention, it was about 40 degrees. But, thank the Lord for the mall though! When we got to our hotel, we were definitely impressed! It was a nice size and we had a beautiful view (our hotel sat on the beach). We settled in and Chels and I fell asleep for a bit. We woke up just in time to start getting ready for our dinner! We went to a place called Captain George’s and it was all-you-can-eat seafood. It was so great, but I don’t know if it was really worth 40 dollars! We left the next morning and I was just glad to be moving on to some place else!
We pulled into Charlotte just in time to make it on our NASCAR tour at Lowe’s Speedway. Some people chose to stay in the bus rather than taking the tour FOR ONLY FIVE DOLLARS, but, their loss, right? The tour was awesome! I got to ride around the track going only a fraction of what Mark Martin does, but I still felt pretty daring going 75. I also got to stand in Victory Lane. That made my whole day! Sooooooo many of the greatest drivers had stood there and I couldn’t believe I was! After leaving the track, we went back to the hotel and I got to meet Chelsy’s aunt, LynnAnn. She was hilarious and so much fun to be around! We talked for a few minutes and she invited Olivia and I to hang out with her and Chels for the night. She drove us all around the town and took us to a mall and then to eat. We ate at P.F. Changs. I don’t know if you’ve ever been to this place, but until you have, you’re missing out! It was so good! I ate til I couldn’t fit anything else into my stomach!! She dropped us off back at the hotel after all of that and we talked for a while and crashed.
Today, we’re on our way to Nashville, which I’ve been waiting the whole trip to go to! Tomorrow night, we’re going to the Grand Ole Opry and BILLY CURRINGTON and RODNEY ATKINS will be there as well!!!!!!! I can’t wait! I can’t believe I have this opportunity! I’m very, very lucky!!
