my mom and i went to the crafts fair today. we always go every year but we never buy anything. this year it seemed like everyone brought their dogs. they all had little dogs except for 4 or 5. i love dogs, especially little ones. so it was fun.
wilson county schools are now on fall break! this means two weeks of no school! im excited. we as a family aren't going anywhere so i decided to work the pumpkin patch. i think i'm working everyday over break except 4 days. we don't get the pumpkins until wednesday though. everyone come buy some!

so i went to the doctor yesterday....
and that's about as exciting as my week has been. i had to get 2 shots: one for the cervical cancer thing and a tetnous. then i went to get ice cream because i hate shots. actually i was pretty excited to find out that i am now 6 feet tall.
actually im just really procrastinating my homework which i really shouldn't be because i have a lot. i have to do a chem. lab report but first i have to finish my lab analysis. then i have to study for a test in that class that i have tomorrow. i have a project due next week that i have yet to start on for bible class. i also have to finish a worksheet for trig. that is due tomorrow. dang now i just realized how much work i really have. ok that's it.

woah.
yeah it's a lot but it's interesting i promise. = )
lots of stuff has been happening this past week. the exciting stuff started saturday at centerfest.
centerfest is a music festival that's outside in a big field. well i decided not to take my purse with me so i just held my car keys in my hand until i got to the blanket we were all sitting on. i had left them on the blanket until it was time to go. (the crowd wasnt all that bad. kinda small actually). well when i went to pick them up, i was making sure all the stuff was still on there because some of it falls off sometimes.... like it did then. my car key had fallen off. remember we are in a big field and its dark by now. so me and 3 other people start to look for it and we can't find it. so i call my dad to bring me the spare. he does and he brings my mom (and some flashlights) with him. so we all start looking for it. by now 2 complete strangers were helping us. i kept trying to tell my parents that we werent going to find it. and we never did. so we finally gave up and went home and i am now driving the car with the spare key so if i lose this one... well i will let you think up what will happen.
sunday i found out that my godparents are moving in to the house next to us! they used to live next door to us about 11 or 12 years ago but they moved and we moved. so now we will be next door neighbors again! its exciting.
also whats exciting is that my first block class sold the most magezines per person we get two parties, one from the school and one from our teacher. annnnddddd, i was the third highest seller in the entire school so i get $50!
today at school we had that dress down day for the spirit links. yep, basketball shorts and thsirt. i just wish we could go back to the times where we could where that to school everyday. tomorrow we don't have school becuase of parent teacher conferences.
i started my youth diciple class tonight. a few things i didnt know about the class is its a two hour class that doesnt get done til 8:30 and there is a cost for the book of $30. neither of these facts were mentioned to me about it. i probably still would have taken it but its just going to be a tough 34 weeks. my personal opinion is that the class could be cut down to a little over an hour. we watch a 10 minute video from the early 90's that just has this guy talking and i really don't think anyone pays attention to it. also we spend around 30 minutes saying prayer requests. that could be cut down, too. i think a faster way to do it would be to go around the circle but we just kinda popcorn it. i guess once we really start getting into discussions the 2 hours will be good but tonight just seemed really stretched out. oh, and the youth are combined with the adullts who are taking it. we have the youth book but the classes are together. i'm interested in hearing all the different ages' opinions on everything.
friday is a spirit day at school. everybody gets really in to our spirit days. we started doing a new thing at our pep rallies, the "mj shuffle". it's the cupid shuffle but we changed the name. also only juniors and seniors are allowed to come down to do it. so thats a plus. well since we dont have school tomorrow a bunch of people are going to our class president from last year's house to get stuff ready for the pep rally. we are making flags, shakers, and other loud stuff. we are kinda mad because we havent won the spirit stick yet and we deerve it. also our class president for this year resigned and our vp isnt willing to take his place. so we are in a bad situation..

way too busy
i have had so much stuff going on since school started back. have two honors classes gives me a lot of homework. it seems like everyday i have something going on. today is the first day in a while and for a while that i dont have any plans. im still planning for other things when i have free time.
random: sunday night my neighbors has a "pie-pong" tournament. they go to donelson christian acadamy so almost everyone there went there too. actually there were a few people from mt. juliet and i thought it was kind of suprising. anyways, the point of pie-pong is the exact same as ping-pong just... you ate pie before, during, or when you were done. it was really random and the actual game had nothing to do with pie. it was an entertaining night thought. a lot of people there had a nice sense of humor so i stayed amused.
oh yeah! i now have unlimeted texting to anyone in any network. it pretty much rocks!
oh and today is sallie's birthday.

mj/central
well first i have to say that we have a wicked amazing step team this year. they are soooo good! but... we lost our first football game to wilson central, our rivals. its pretty sad. every year when we play them they challenge us to a "spirit link" contest. the school who raises the most money wins. well at the game last night they announced who won and they said central raised like $700 and mj only raised around $400 but then about 30 seconds later they were like oh hold on the actual final count was central $700 mj $1100! so yeah, we won. that means we get a full dress down day. to anyone not in wilson (or davidson) county a full dress down day means absolutly nothing but if you're having to wear polo shirts everyday, a full dress down day is like the most amazing thing ever. so yeahhh.
peace everyone
