THE BEST TRIP EVER!!!

Jordan and I had the best trip to Arizona EVER! It was so much fun. We got to go to the grand canyon, spend time with our cousins, go bowling, eat out, swim, mini golf, play monopoly, hang out with our grandparents, and so much more. I am so glad I braved the plane and went. It was the best trip ever. Of course, coming home to the cold, snowy atmosphere of Colorado wasn't that fun. Thankfully, when we had a bad blizard in Colorado, we were still in Arizona. It was hard to think of a blizard when we were in that heat!

Operation 2.0 : Jordan and I are Heading to Arizona!

So the coolest thing is happening! Jordan and I are going to Arizona for a full week over Spring Break! I am soo excited, though a little scared about the plane. Jordan and I are going to get on a plane all by ourselves, and travel to Arizona to visit grandma and grandpa. It's going to be sooo much fun. We are leaving soon: March 24! And we're coming home March 31. Suckingly, I am going to miss my other grandma's visit. But she's coming back in May, so I decided I am still going to go anyway. I can't wait for the palm trees, swimming pools, and heat!

Fixing Things With Caity

Last Friday, Caity started saying some really mean things about Meghann. I totally yelled at her and got down her throat about it. Of course, she started crying...and I started crying because I thought that I was going to get in trouble...again, because of her. Eventually, we all got together and worked things out for the best. So, things with Caity are OK now, though I still don't like her.

Catching Up on Things...

Hello, Blogworld! Sorry that I haven't written for a while. Things are CRAZY around here...still, I haven't had much to write about. Here's an update on what HAS been going on....

SCHOOL

School is going fairly well. I am doing okay in Geography [my worst subject], but great in Math, Science, and Language Arts. We just finished third quarter, which I can't believe. The year is going by sooo fast. I can't even believe it. I am scared to go onto eight grade, and even more so high school. But with the wonderful friends I have, I know it's gonna be okay.

PLAY

I am in the school play, Hotel Escargot, which we will be performing in late April. I play Rhonda Jo Derrick, a wealthy texan with a hilarious husband. I have all my lines memorized, so it's all good. Costuming has been a slight issue, but it's moving along. I am proud of myself, because my character is very important to the story.
For fourth quarter, I have Drama, also. So it'll help me with the play.

FRIENDS

Priya, Ashley, Meghann, and I have never been closer. I love having them all as friends, ESPECIALLY since we ALL get along well. We're all friends, which makes everything work better. We all laugh at the stupidist things, and it seems they're only funny to us, but OH WELL!

PROBLEMS

The biggest issues that are going on in my life include a girl named Caity, and my used-to-be friend, Isi.
Caity is a wierd, bratty girl my friends and I don't get along with at all. She's mean, a compulsive liar, and a brat. I wish we could get along, and believe me, we've tried, but she's such a mean person that we just can't work things out. Sure, we've done stuff to her that probably wasn't nice, but she over reacts, and it's all in retaliation to what SHE does to us. The annoying, ugly faces she makes, the name calling, the eye rolling, the yelling at us, the telling on us for the stupidist things. She really needs to grow up and get a life. Recently, her mom threatened Meghann. I wish things wern't so bad between us. Isabel, [only her friends call her Isi, which I am no longer] hates me. I went to her birthday party in late Febuary. EVERYONE was fighting, not feeling good, and having issues. The biggest arguement happened when I became a little grumpy. At the time of the party, alot was going on. I was getting over the sickness I had recently, [which, I discovered, wasn't over] my brother had just gotten out of the hospital, I didn't know anyone there, and Jordan had decided not to come like I had planned. We were playing a trivia game, and everyone thought I was getting upset. I wasn't. I was a little grumpy, tired, and dizzy, though. I turned to grab my pillow. My team mate, Mckenzie, asked me where I was going. I said nowhere, and laid down. Isi started being rude. EVENTUALLY, I got isolated to this one room by myself, where stupid Lizzie made faces and called me names. I left at 5:00 im the morning, puking. Guess that I wasn't...OVER THE SICKNESS! So yeah...she still hates me.

PRESTON

Preston is home! And safe, happy, and back to hiself.

Emmett Till Presentation

Today, a speaker came to our school and presented a story to us...the story of Emmett Till. I don't feel like typing it out right now, but basically, this fourteen year old boy is killed because he is black...and flirted with a white woman. You should look up the story and pictures...you won't believe it.

But, it was presented by a famous baseball player. He did sooo well. He was soooo detailed, and knew everything, it seemed, on the subject. Dates, names, numbers...all that junk.

SEARCH EMMETT TILL ON GOOGLE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS! HE IS THE GUY WHO MADE ROSA PARKS NOT GET UP ON THAT BUS!

Grandma's Going Home!

Early this morning, Grandma left to go to the airport. I was sooo very greatful to have her down with us. I think she lifted all our spirits a little bit. We did so much fun stuff. We went for ice cream, dinner. I was soo glad to have her down. Thankfully, she's comming back down in 3 and 1/2 months.

YAYAYYA~

Preston in the Hospital - Day 4 & 5

Well, I guess that he's doing better on the fourth day. I didn't visit him at all. But, I hear he's doing great!

On day five, I visited him. It's also my grandma's last day here in Colorado. He's doing sooo much batter, and acting like himself finally. I am sooo greatful. And happy. HAPPY AND GREATFUL! Not much to write about though, because he has nothing atatched to him.
