Hail Poetry

Recently, my life has been writing and preforming Poetry. Last Saturday for Speech and Debate I performed my Poetry for 4 judges and will find out where I placed in a few hours (though it wasn't in the top three). And just last night a few friends and I competed at our school's 8th annual Poetry Slam. I didn't make it very far, but it was still fun. And to me, it's not about winning, it's about enjoying what you love to do, which for me is performing Poetry.

Tuesday 10: 10 favorite Easter Moments

So I wasn't able to take many photos during Easter but I do have things to report (and I'm sorry for lack of photos on this post)

1) Spent the morning watching Mamma Mia alone in bed-- which is always fantastic!

2) Made an amazing Fruit Salad for the Easter Dinner

3) Danced and sung with my sisters and my mom while cooking all morning

4) played Risk with my sister before and after dinner

5) Had a huge dinner at like 1 pm -- so it was more like lunch, but still.

6) Broke down and had some peeps and chocolates! -- Peeps= like the best candy ever!!

7) took a four hour long nap --which made up for not sleeping on Saturday due to our district tournament

8)woke up at like 8:30 pm and had more food-- by this point i was hungry again

9) got to borrow Gilmore Girls season 4 from my sister! -- best show ever

10) fell asleep watching Gilmore girls.

well there are my Tuesday 10 this week.

and just to get it out there: Districts went... alright... we got 3rd place in our district (out of 4 schools) and we are going to be sending 2 people to State: Miles in Radio and Lexie in Student Congress. I'm proud of my team even though we didn't do too well. It was a fun day and I enjoyed just being with all my friends doing what I love to do. :)

Spring is Here

So I'm back!!

Anyone miss me? I surely missed blogging everyday. And I've got a lot to catch up on when it comes to reading my favorite blogs. Gosh, you go away for a week and miss so much...

In more fun news... SPRING IS HERE! Even here in the wet and rainy Portland Oregon, we've been getting some sun. I'm so excited to have a break from the rain even if it is a small break and probably won't last long.

My break was uneventful. I spent most of it writing a new story and texting my friends. One thing I learned over the week is that it may be time to cut ties to some people and relationships and just willingly let go before i let myself get hurt again... Even though I don't want to and I know it'll be hard, it'll be better for me in the long run.

Districts for Speech and Debate are on Saturday and I'm really nervous.  I'll be doing Poetry and DI which is Dramatic Interp. I hope I do well, I would love to be able to go to State.

Also auditions for the next play will be soon, We'll be doing The Trojan Women, which is a Greek tragedy. We'll also be doing this play outside in the courtyard... but knowing Portland... it'll probably be raining.

Anyway, only like 50 more days of school and they're going to be a busy 50-some-odd days. ugh!

Blanchet Speech Tournament

Saturday, March 3rd 2012 was our Last Speech tournament before Districts. How'd we do? Well, not so well. No one on our team finaled. But I did have a really good talk with some amazing boys on my team and it was a really good day anyway. Plus, I got to flirt, which is ALWAYS fun.

Get Well Soon Justin

A few days ago, my friend Justin was sent to the hospital because he had a hole in his lung. I was told by everyone who knew more than me that it wasn't a very big deal and that he would be okay. Even if that is so, it's still sad and it's still hard not to worry. My team is my family and I wish them all the best. Get Well Soon Justin aka. Pirate King (in Pirates of Penzance)
