i'm mad

so i was going to go to fields of faith tonight after i got out of disciple at 8:30. the invitation said it wouldn't be over until midnight. as it turns out, it ended at 8:30. so i didn't get to go and i'm sure a lot of people show up after 8:30 expecting it to still be going on but i guess they will soon find out that it is over. = (

it's pumpkin time!

the pumpkins are here and i am getting ready to go out there in a few hours and unload them! we went to wal-mart today and got stuff to decorate the area with. it is imposible to go to wal-mart and not play with all the stuff. we were first in the kid's area and we found a jesus doll that spoke bible verses! it was... interesting. then we went down the halloween isle and i saw a pirate hat. well in a few weeks our school has homecoming and one of our days is pirate day. so i bought the hat and an eye patch. i found it amusing.

-em

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!

an afternoon of fun

yeah. we jumped, it was fun. (all of this after we made posters for see you at the pole)

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.

tennessee-florida

soooo, ut lost. its sad, i know. it was a very disapointing game. with a final score of ut-20 florida-59, i must say tennessee was not playing well at all today. maybe next year...


-em

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

chemistry

ok so i had a crazy hard chem two test today that i didn't study for. im pretty sure i failed. and this test was just a review test of chem one stuff! its bad. if i did this bad on the first test, i cant imagine how the rest of them are going to be. it took me the entire hour and a half to do it and i still didnt finish it. she said we could finish some of the problems tomorrow. i guess this means i will have to study hard for the tests. i've just been kinda stressed out about some stuff lately. im a member of 8 clubs. i really need extra curriculars concidering the only one i have is playing volleyball freshman year. speaking of volleyball, the hendersonville-mt. juliet game is thursday at mj. everyone should come watch! i know im going seeing that i know people from both sides. we also have our first football game friday against wilson central! not only is it our first game but its against our rivals. all the football games this friday seem to be against rivals. i guess that's enough rambling for now.

church council meeting: funnnnn.... not!!!

ok im back

i just had to take a break from blogging for a while. also i was in a bad mood for like a week so i didnt want to blog while i was in a bad mood.

so i finally got a car! i have been waiting for this car for 2 months. i had been driving either the pickup or my dad's car. im so excited! i cant wait to drive it.

i dont remember if i've already said this but if anyone has comcast cable then watch channel 9 between 11:11am and 1:20pm and you will probably see me on there. (i currently do sports) my school's news station is the only high school news station broadcasted all across the state. so its pretty cool.

oh yeah, summer sizzler was a few weeks ago. it was fun but i had to eat some pretty nasty stuff (jello with vienna sausages, prok rines, kidney beans, and olives all in it. there may have been some other stuff too but i dont really wanna remember..) we got in a little trouble for doing some pranks. the pranks were funny but there was a little incident where something went wrong and we got in a lot of trouble. it was bad.


tonight i went to "5 quarter at the corner" it was good. i saw some people i hadnt seen in a few weeks and got a chance to hang out withmy friends i hadnt hung out with in a while. it was bad though because i went to get on the interstate to get there but got on the wrong one so we got really turned around. so then we decided we didnt have time to go to a real restraunt so we went to wendy's. well then we were going to go over to hhs to the football game buttttttt the football game was at station camp. so we just decided we would go hang out at the church for a while. so that was what we did. it was fun. oh and janie got paid to put on the bear costume. yeahhhh, it was hilarious!

i dont wanna blog anymore. maybe later on. oh yea cara's bday is today.

new school year

so today was our first official day of school. it was only 2 hours but we still had to go. i'm so excited about my classes. in each one i have a lot of cool people. in my electronics media (bnn9) class, i have some of the same people from last years bnn class. so it feels the same. third block i have chem. 2 with cara! i havent had a class with cara since 7th grade! let alone any lunch blocks. and now we have both. its exciting. then in fourth we have 35 students! i think the limit per class is like 32... yeah.

first block: bible history
second: electronic media
third: chem. 2
fourth: advandced alg. and trig.

so my work load might be a little high this semester but im not playing volleyball agian this year so that will free up some time.
random story: this guy in my second class sent in a cartoon idea to nickalodeon because they had a contest. he also sent in one of the cartoons he had already made. well he won the grand prize! so he and his family get to be flown to california and stay in a five star hotel on the beach! nickalodeon is coming to our school to have an assembly in october or so. its so cool!
this semester is gonna be so much fun! i know it

past few days

last night my parents and sister went up to indiana to help my cousin move back here. that means i had the house all to myself. my cousin's house up in indiana was one of the houses on the underground railroad. she says that sometmes her radio would just come on and rap music would be playing and she never listens to rap. she has a closet in her bedroom with another little door in it that when you open it, there's a tunnel that goes all the way down to the basement that the slaves would go in. i think its kinda cool. i also went to the simpsons movie last night and i must say it was the funniest movie i've seen all summer! it was so good. i highly recommend going to see it!
random event of the week: this past wednesday night at youth, linda locke led because jonathon was out of town. we watched a movie about umcor and then all went to sonic and let the church pay for each of us a drink. that's usually what a night with linda leading is like. a video and something free. another time she lead we all got treated by the church to baskin robins!
school starts for wilson county this wednesday!! im half excited as it's my first year as an upperclassman. but the other half is disappointed becuase this means practically no more free time. we finally get our yearbooks that day too!
summer sizzler is next weekend! im excited. it's my favorite conference event.

i just found out that relient k and switchfoot (my two favorite bands ever!!!!!!!!!) are going to be on tour together this fall!!!!!! how awesome is that?!!!

youth 2007

heyyyy! this past sunday i got back from youth 2007 in greensboro, nc. we stayed at the sheraton hotel and it was right next to a 3 story mall! i went to that mall everyday... partially becuase that was practically the only place to get food. well it was fun other than just the mall. our worship feast area turned out great! there were so many people coming through everyday. we had a tight schedule to go by each day so there wasnt really that much free time unless you skipped the "splatshops" aka the workshops. we would get up each morning and go to morning devo. then get out to the convention center for the morning session. right after that would be mid-day prayers then lunch. we either would go to the splatshops or just have free time untill dinner and after dinner we'd go to night session. the night sessions lasted til about 1030 and we would go back for compline (the night-time devo). after that we could stay up as late as we wanted and that was usually about 1. each night we had a different band preform in addition to our house band-fusebox.
