girls soccer, or date.

girls soccer game. VS. american fork tomorrow.

only, there's a twist.

When we win, Alyssa, Bekah and I will be embarking on a traditional date. paid for by the gentlemen of american fork.

but if the case were that we were to slip up.. we would be paying and planning for a good time. bring it on AF.

also, girls volleyball? first game babe. be there 6:30 in the A-Gym.

to the windowwwww.......

who has time for breakfast?

arrive at school tomorrow, anytime between 7:10 and 7:40.

there will be doughnuts involved.

dear weekend,

I am glad you are here.

lets go through the day of a normal viking student. in other words, yours truly.

I start with the morning ritual: read the scriptures, do the hair, throw together an outfit, the usual. then i snag my yogurt and practically skip to daphne. (take note: i am in a good mood. it will come into play later.) i listen to cory and keetch in the morning, who enjoy talking about gandy's and replacing student body presidents.

i speed walk to class because its written into the schedule. i have the time down to a science and usually find myself showing up at exactly 7:42. giving me 30 seconds in the classroom before the bell screams at me. i head into the seminary building and analyze the list with all of the other hopeful seminary students. taggart, fossum, browne, whimpey. there i am. i walk into the class room and i stand there stunned. i thought the lord knew better than to put sidney and i in the same class. going to be a fun year!

i spent second period organizing the student council room. get this picture: small room, by myself. i may or may not talk out loud to solve my organizational problems.

statistics is going to kill me. end of story. my teacher constantly reminds us that he is only 3 class periods ahead of us. i resorted to tally marks in order to create a histogram. its only the second day people.

lunch used to be the best time of the day. still is.

but now i feel like it is just more torture before we go home.

today was different though. check out what cade got.. for the price of one lunch.

MEGA PIZZA.

and ryan was testing out his squinty eyes. or something of that sort.

photo is going to be fun. its a super basic class, but today we watched a movie and i almost fell asleep. thats a weakness of mine: falling asleep in movies.

then i mix and mingle in the halls (because thats what teenagers do) and make my way out to daphne. i throw my junk in the car and head home. then i dump all my belongings everywhere because i'm too tired to do anything else. when i'm lucky, i take a quick catnap

now onto better things:

the poor choir kids have gotten the short end of the stick this year. homecoming is over shakespeare festival and chamber retreat. then, sweethearts is the closing night of phantom of the opera. oh? can't get much worse than that? prom is during choir tour.

not to fret. prom is most likely being changed. april 30th is the date in mind.

also, sweethearts is in the process of being resolved.

what a nightmare.

we play riverton tonight. we can beat them, i mean come on, they're purple.

i'm super excited for the assembly on tuesday. and you should be too.

don't you fret,

a review of sophomore day is coming soon. and perhaps some review of the first day, (my 12th first day. no biggie.)

oh. and also a review of welcome week. assembly on tuesday, j.wride concert on wednesday, thats all i can think of, off the top of my head. be there.

i just realized i, overuse, commas, quite, often. i'm pretty sure thats a violation of the rules.

i wish i could make posters like him.

but he's for the bruins.

look familiar anyone?

i'm excited for school. inside jokes waiting to be made.

i'm also excited for this... football.

oh nothing big...

just a sneak peak to the big secret!

be to the assembly on tuesday. you will definitely

not want to miss it.

worth a thousand words.

This month has been filled with..

riding in army vehicles..

feeding the football team..

anonymous cookies..

(if your out there, those were the best cookies ever. thanks.)

little brothers preparing for football..

cute right?

insanely spirited viking men..

oh the joys of student council videos..

poster making..

courtney is brilliant.

new glasses..

ryan. attempting to be thug..

yogurt bliss. and more yogurt bliss.

please take note.. kassie has hand sanitizer. that never happens.

this summer has been out of this world.

whirlwind of two weeks.

i would be willing to bet a high five that i have been around the school for at least the equivalent of two days, within the last two weeks.

thats like.. 48 hours. of school. and it hasn't even started!

its hard work. but i enjoy it.

listen up people: we are seniors. cheers to 2011.

[exciting prospects for senior year] and school in general:

..when i walk through the halls, there will actually be people there!

.. we get to mingle in the senior hallway, with out getting strange looks from people two feet taller than us. (well.. that could still be my case.)

.. welcome week. J.wride is coming, and i'm stoked out of my mind about it.

.. football games. volleyball games. tennis matches. golf tournaments. cross country meets. school plays. i'm going to them all, anyone want to join me??

.. we get front part of the bleachers. because we are watching the other seniors play.

.. we set the trends! lets wear crazy decked out viking outfits, cause no one will make fun of us!

.. sophomores, will most likely get intimidated. i'm going to meet them all, and show them that seniors really aren't that scary.

.. we have a, somewhat secret new tradition, that we are revealing for welcome week. i am itching to get it started. it should be soo much fun!

.. couch potatoes.

.. halloween & christmas.

..winter clothing.

[my goals for senior year.]

.. learn all 1900 students names. i have been told i am never going to do it.. but when i put my mind to things, i can work wonders. help me out, and come introduce yourself.

.. sit at every lunch table.

.. stay on top of the homework.

.. finish my average blog with jess.

.. make breakfast for my family before school. sometimes.

.. meet all different cliques.

.. dates. yes, lots.

.. take awesome pictures.

.. have the best time of my life.

there are lots more.. i just can't think of many at the moment.

i have to go enjoy the last saturday of the summer!

lets fight. blue v. white.

tonight. be there. blue and white game. i am stoked out of my mind for football season!

girls soccer games have also started up! we love girls soccer.

sophomore day is well on its way to perfection. and welcome week is coming along quite nicely.

vikettes: 2010-2011. these girls are going to be great. i love them all.

ps. i snagged this picture from facebook. i hope no one minds.

i could defuse a bomb.

I really like this sequence of events:

step one: learn how to control the robot.


step two: move in direction of waterbottle.

step three: pick up waterbottle.

step four: give Jared a drink from water botte...

while using the insanely cool robotic arm that you

just mastered.

this is the award-winning best picture from freedom academy.

congratulations Landon from Alta. You also get the 'tried hardest at learning how to spit' award.

first loser.

check out this cool viking i found.. i like it.

what a week. let me set up this scene for you.

triple crown world series: one of the biggest softball tournaments in utah. It takes place in Park city, where girls from all over the western USA gather to try to compete. this tournament takes a week to unfold and has traditions such as trading pins and gifts. its kind of a big deal.

once upon a time, back in the good old days when we used to play 12 and under and life was carefree, we had a little dream team. we were called Devastation and it was just some team from pleasant grove utah. we played our first four pool games... and lost every single one. we set out to win one game, then the next. and before we knew it, we were in the championship. and WON IT. we won the triple crown world series 12u silver bracket tournament. we were even on the news.

this week: i'm playing with a new team and new girls .. same tournament. we won 3 out of 4 of our pool games. which means we would be placed in the gold A bracket. where all the ballers go. we battled all week... and made it to the ship, as the undefeated team. But, guess who we had to play? oh yeah. S.W.A.T. just another team from utah, where half the girls on my team go to the same high school as them.

long story short, (although, its quite a long story already.) they beat us twice. and we got plaques that said: Triple Crown World Series 16u Gold A bracket.. finalist.

i. hate. taking. second.

on the bright side, in 30 minutes i am heading to freedom academy, leadership camp.

i'm stoked out of my mind.

pros: i get to meet loads of new people. i get to tour the prison. i get to spend a week partying with sam. i get to be a military.. person. i get to stay at a military base. i get to shoot guns and drive tanks. i get to tour airplanes. i get to dance. and did i say meet new people?

cons: i don't know any girls going, so the rooming is nerve wracking. i don't know what to expect... therefore, i don't know what to wear.

yay. for freedom academy.

don't forget about me for a week.
