Hey I'm in my free period right now so I thought I'd update you at school since our home computer is currently broken. Well I'm still taking Piano lessons from Sister Stotts and I'm getting better... I'm not so worried about scholarship applications anymore i figure I should just focus on my ACT score for now and I'll worry about scholarships next year. All through out high school I have been uder the assumption that since I try so hard to get good grades then I'll get a real good scholarship at college... But I have come to realize that this is not the case there are probably tons of people who apply to BYUI with wonderful grades and they obviously can't give scholarships to all of them. Therefore I am going to hope for the best but it won't shock me if i don't get any. I have also come to realize grades really aren't that important. Don't get me wrong I still have a 4.0 but I think A's and B's are good not just A's. For instance if I have a 93 instead of a 98 I'm not gonna freak out it's an A and thats good enough for me. I used to be obsessed with having close to perfect grades (High A's) But not anymore I'm just gonna do my best but still have fun :)
Prom is coming up and though last year i said i wouldn't go... I lied cause i want to go now! I'm actually pretty excited about it they go huge on prom here and its going to be lots of fun! i just have to find a drss that I like thats modest, or that I can make modest! :) No luck yet but I will find one eventually:).
Still no guy life but thats alright it doesn't bother me to much I know I'll get one eventually :P.
This summer I was planning to go to EFY but i changed my mind about that its just to expensive and it would probably be during Girls Camp. not that I'm planning on going to girls camp but just saying. i plan on getting my CNA this summer and getting a job at a nursing home come the new school year. Hopefully my plans will work out. I also plan on losing 15-25 pounds and getting a beautiful tan this summer.. hopefully that will work out too!
Well It's lunch time so g2g!
Hope everyone is doing well!
Write you next time I have a chance I promise! Love Ya!!

Why?

Well as usual I'm pretty busy... Haley my bestest friend in the whole wide world came over last weekend after super saturday and that was really fun! I am so glad God blessed me with her in my life! My life always feels like it just keeps going and going and I never get a break and alot of the time I don't even feel like it's my life I'm living but it is.... Right now I am pretty frustrated with one of my best friends... well he was one of my best friends anyways... I've tryed SOOOO hard to help him, I've spent more time talking to him then most other people in my life... I tryed to help him so hard for so long never giving up hoping that maybe just maybe I could make an impact for the better... but I didn't! He just gave up! I don't understand why he wouldn't try why he still doesn't want to ... why he won''t fight for it... it makes me so very angry cause I wish I could fight for him, and change his life for him... but I can't... I guess its so hard for me to understand because I don't give up for anything... its just part of who i am... I am a hardworker... so I have a hard time understanding why he keeps giving up... why he won't work for it... why he doesn't want to... The problem is that I am close with him so it hurts that he won't listen to me... its hard for me cause I KNOW that I am right but he just won't listen... I helped him fix his life just for him to throw it all away... I feel like I've lost a friend... he's certainly lost my trust sadly... Its just sucks that I've tryed so hard for so long to help someone who doesn't want my help... and frankly won't accept it... I hope someone somewhere can help him... cause I couldn't.... so I'll just go on with my life, I mean whatelse can I do? He doesn't want my help and I can't help him if he won't listen... So I'll pray that someone else somewhere can help him, cause I give up... I can't do this anymore... I guess thats all... just frustrated...

The Flood in Lonoke...

Well these are pictures of the flood in Lonoke about a week ago... The one of the blue car isn't good quality cause I was trying to use night vision cause it was dark but didn't really know how... lol I'll have to mess with my camera to figure out how to take pictures at night... the rest of the pictures were taken in the day time so they turned out fine. Anyways these floods are pretty bad eh? Just thought I'd show you cause It's pretty interesting to me :P

New Look on My Blog and Life :)

So today I was getting over my stomache virus and I sat with my mom and designed this new blog look! She did all the technical stuff but i designed it :) I LOVE IT!!! It is TOTALLY me :D So I guess I have a bit to catch ya'll up on... haha that s understatement... sorry I haven't been writing since like well a while... but believe it or not us teenagers have busy lifes! oh well so I got a Purple camera for christmas and so when i have time i will be taking pictures to post on here... umm.... well I took a trip to Minnesota about 2 weeks ago and it was a blast! I guess well I realized that there are many blessings in life... though at the time some things might seem like a curse and you don't understand why it has to be that way.... when you look back years later you may realize that what you thought was a curse was actually a blessing... and I guess I got a whole new look on life... For many monthes I have had a really hard time adjusting to my new life so to say, I went from building my self off other mormons... a place where my only friends were mormon... to a place where there was no mormons... I was it. Normally I adjust to changes very well but man I have just felt so alone... I've never made friends easliy either so I've basically been a loner. I finally made a few good friends that I enjoy being around... one of them is trying to convert me to baptist but thats alright cause he's a nice guy :) I don't know I guess for a while my outlook on life has just been to get through these last 2 years of high school and then I can live my life and go to BYUI. The thing is I don't want to do that anymore... I still want to go to BYUI but I don't want to wait till college to live my life... I want to live it NOW. I can still prepare for my future but I don't want to be a Zombie I want to make a difference and have fun while I'm doing it :) It might sound crazy but anything is possible right? Like President Monson said "Find Joy in Today". Well I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna find joy in today :) So anyways I was so Happy to see Snow in Minnesota and I loved the cold air i felt like I could breathe! Thats when i decided I'm a northern person I don't care where I live so long as it's north and not south... no offense southerners but I think I'm more of a northern person... Oh and by the way for those of you who don't know I'm waiting to date anyone till I'm in college cause I've decided High School Boys don't know anything... It feels like forever till college but thats alright I think I'll just focus on the rest of my life at this time... be a kid, and have some fun you know? I used to worry about knowing who was meant for me you know, I mean how do you KNOW that he's the one you know... but then a wise person told me that it's the most important decision you make in your life and that God will tell you... I guess that wiped away my worries :) I know life's not easy... nor is it always pleasing... But your outlook on it is your choice and I can choose to look at it with optimism... or pessimism... I choose Optimism :) Well I guess You sorta got an update of my life.. well actually just a whole lot of babbling in between trying to update you ... lol sorry guys :P I guess I better go cause I'm gonna put some pics on here for ya'll :) hopefully I'll write again soon! Remember:"Find Joy in Today"!
