Tribute
So today Kristen and I hung out. We got some delicious pizza and turned on some music and danced around... we probably looked rediculous. Haha and she made me drive halfway to Walgreens and then I ordered "Disturbia" from the Red Box and we got some candy.
Anyways, after we did all the fun stuff we decided we should make a blog, but it wasn't working. But we looked up a whole bunch of pictures of me and her together over the years. We've been best friends for almost 8 years now.
Sadly, I only have pictures from 7th grade til now, but still here are a few of them....
Me and Kristen in 7th grade; drinking our 'Diet Water'. We thought we were so clever.
Us at our first public school football game. Neither of us went to Carson, but it was still fun. :)
Us at the mall, she's wearing my hat that I loved... for who knows what reason.
At Heritage, 8th grade I think. Who knows why shes cracking up, she always is though.
When she invited me to a Coyotes game. It was the coolest thing ever. We had a blast, Billy Ray Cyrus was there. Haha.
One of our dance concerts where we all danced different types of dances from different time periods.
I have no idea where we were going, but I think it was Caitlyn's birthday. Good times.
I think we were at the mall again.. we used to love it there.
ASU Football Game, 9th grade. I hate this picture, but she loves it.
A more recent picture, we decided to walk to Riverview like that. Haha :)
We can't hold a straight face, but it looks funny. Haha.

Even more recent, but we definately need a new one. Its not recent enough. :)
Well, thats about it. Just though I'd make a "tribute to our friendship" and the many years to come. Its fun to look through all these and how much we've changed over the years and how much more we'll still change. I wish I could put up the one of us in 5th grade and I'll try to do that if I can get it scanned in to a computer sometime. We look so silly and little. Its great.
(Not sure why the beginning part is underlined, sorry bout that.)

Just A Short Update
Well today I'm sitting at home and doing a little house work instead of going to first and second hour because we are doing some dumb evacuation drill in second hour and my mom thinks its pointless to go, which is fine by me. Haha but I do have to go back in about ten minutes. I just thought I would write a few things down first.
We now have a new president, which is cool. I got to watch the beginning and when he was sworn in. I was kind of upset that my teacher in the next hour didn't let us watch him speak, I was sure she would. But I'll just have to find time to watch it online. Ken got to actually be there, which is cool. It was pretty boring and long for him though. Haha.
Anyways I don't really have much else to say and I should probably leave now. But I just wanted to put up this amazing picture of me and one of my best friends Brittany on New Years Eve. :)

College
I know I'm only a junior, so I don't reeeally need to be concerned quite yet, but I just want college to be perfect and not regret what school I go to or what I major in. So I'm trying to at least kind of decide that right now.
Me and my friend Becca recently got out pSAT scores back, I definitely did better than I did last year. So we looked it up online, and I can send my scores to four schools for free. Oh, and I'm going to take the SAT early, just in case, in March. I'll be signing up for that in February. I'm pretty excited because I looked at the average SAT scores of people that go to the colleges I want to apply to and I think I'll do better, cause I did better on my pSAT's... so I hope I do even better.
I was looking through my papers and pamphlets from OP-Shop and my Career Exploration Class and since I can send my SAT scores, and I think ACT scores too, to four schools without charge.. I decided I will probably (unless my mind changes during senior year or the end of this year) apply to Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University, Mesa Community College (just in case), and Purdue University in Indiana (a school I really like thats not in AZ). And maybe another University cause I'm not sure if MCC needs my scores.
I know Purdue will be alot of money, even NAU and ASU will be alot, so I'm going to start going to my couselor once a week to look at possible scholarships and I'm going to be working on them this summer too. I know Purdue is a long shot, but I've always dreamed of going to an out-of-state college.. but NAU is definitely my next choice, maybe even my first.
My only problem now is choosing a major, I would prefer knowing what I want to major in before I'm out of high school. But we'll see what happens. Right now I'm thinking about either Psychology, Journalism, or even Interior Design...? My cousin Scott is going to NAU right now for Psychology so I am going to talk to him alot about that and I'm going to take Psychology for a semester next year to see if its really what I want to do. I'm also going to take the AZVAB (I think thats what its called... that definitely could be wrong though) next year because it will help alot to tell me some things that would interest me for sure. And I've been doing a test online to kind of show me things that should interest me. Some are definitely not me (funeral director was a choice... I mean really..?), but some sound very possible.
Anyways, thats enough about college.. its just been something on my mind lately. Haha, well last time I wrote I hadn't been back to school yet. So I guess I'll start there.
School has been great so far. I love all my classes, I have basically the same ones but a little rearranged. First is math, and I've done all my homework so far.. I'm improving. :) Then I have science with my brother, which is actually fun. I'm able to help him out if he needs it. And he even bought me a muffin last week which was nice of him. Haha, then I have english and I sit right behind Brittany which just makes it all the more better. We've been doing alot of essays lately, but its not too bad. I think all of mine have been great so far. Then is seminary and its definitely not as good as last semester, but thats okay. And I have that class with Ken too, but he sits a row away so we don't talk. After lunch is Honor Choir and I absolutely love all of our songs so far. We sang at a MLK day thing yesterday and that was awesome. Last is Yearbook, most of the fun people left and we don't have too many new people, but its still semi fun. Just not as good as last semester.
So I've been spending alot of time with my friends, which isn't unusual actually. But I've been having alot of fun. I still don't have texting til next month though, which is difficult, but I'm surviving. Oh, and I got a debit card on Wednesday and applied for a job at Fry's yesterday. I really hope I get the job, especially since I have connections.. cause it'd be nice to have money for once.
Ken is in Washington D.C. until Wednesday or Thursday I think, and I hope he has as much fun as I had when I was there. His flight took forever. He left Saturday morning at 4:30 am for the airport and called to say he landed at almost 2:00 pm Arizona time! So about 4:00 pm there. He gets to go to the inaguration and I hope he gets alot of pictures, I would love to see those. I'm sure he'll have a great time, its an awesome experience.

School Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the first day of second semester. I have the same classes, but a few of the hours have changed. I guess I'm pretty excited, there are some people I haven't seen in a while. But for the most part I really don't want to go back. I'm not used to waking up so early, at all... and I mostly saw my friends I really care about over the break, but its not something I can get away from so there is really no point worrying about it.
Well today was not really the best day ever. Since its the new year we started a new time schedule at church and we now have to go at 9 o'clock rather than 1 o'clock. So no more sleeping in on Sundays for me and no more getting ready; it takes too much time.
Another rather sad point to my day was just a few minutes ago: my parents are taking away my texting. I aquired an overall "C" in my Algebra 2 class. I admit, I should have done my homework more, but I really did try and got a 97% on the semester final. I find it very unfair, but I can't really change their minds. I have no idea how I am now going to be talking to some people, which really sucks, but I guess I'll figure something out.
Anyways thats all I really have for today, I'll try to remember to keep up with my posts... we'll see how that goes. ;)
