party number uno of the summer

Thursday night we decided to have a party to celebrate the ending of school! hallelujah! we kind of waited around and talked for about an hour and then we played some games: hats (the object is to pass the hat from person to person without using your hands, its quite difficult) and cheeto head (you take a shower cap with shaving cream on it and you try and throw as many cheetos on it as possible). after cheeto head kind of fizzled out, a couple of us decided to decorate a late comer with shaving cream. A LOT of shaving cream. five of us ended up with shaving cream in our ears, hair, eyes and mouth and of course all over our faces.

after washing off the evidence of the decorate removed from our bodies, we went inside and watched the movie Fireproof. its a really good movie, even if it is about marriage counseling... whoops! o well haha

bragging for a team that i am not even on

ok so the team is a part of the school, but i am not on it. for kind of obvious reasons. the boys soccer team for my high school is ranked NUMBER 2 on ESPN's High School Boy's Soccer Ranking. they played Bearden on thursday night, and won 2-0. way to go guys!! they are probably one of the best ranked team at my high school... o another accomplishment! they are ranked NUMBER 1 on the Coach's Pool Team! woo hoo! congrats to all

summer is here!

i am so excited! summer is now here and i have an entire week to do absolutely nothing before swimming starts. but i will probably start going down to the pool every  morning and swim a couple of laps to start getting in shape. how exciting! not really...

but my final grades are:

honors biology (sooo glad that class is OVER)-96 (YES!!)
honors geometry (kind of sad that class is over...)-96 (WOO HOO!!)
computer applications (not really regretting the over-ness)-97
band- 99

the last two classes werent really that big of an accomplishment, but my first two classes were definitely! i really worked for those two classes and i was soo excited that i got all A's my second semester =)

a landmark

in puppy news,

holly had her first night were she DIDN'T go potty in the bathroom (where we decided to keep her, its easier maintenance than the kennel) and she went both poop and pee outside! hoorah!!  i was soo excited and so was she when she figured out that she got a treat for doing the job outside without any accidents over night. the streak was kind of lost when she has had two accidents in the house since i have been home from school. the idea though is to get her potty-trained for the night, then ideally the during the day thing will fall into place. hopefully....

band banquet number uno

amazing. the only word that truly describes the atmosphere and events of last night. the band has an annual banquet at the end of the concert season and that is were the directors give out superlatives and awards and the parents of Micheal David Greene present a couple of seniors with a scholarship in his name. if you want to know more about the scholarship, click here. This year my mom made my dress cuz we figured that it would be cheaper to make the dress and get all the sewing necessities for it, than to go and try to find a dress that would be modest and appropriate for the occasion. ill try and get a picture of the dress and me in it, on the blog soon.

after the "ceremony" was over, the directors allowed us to have a dance. party!! i enjoyed rockin out with some of my senior friends for the first and last time in some cases. the dj we had was really cool, but he only let some of the songs play for a couple of seconds.. total bummer. he did let us play through a bunch of "line" dances. i use line very lightly because they werent the hoedown throwdown and the cowboy one; they were the cupid shuffle and of course soulja boy. of course lol

we had a lot of fun and i look forward to the next one. but not without all my senior friends... :(

the newest addition to the family

almost a week ago, my dad brought home an adorable pure-bred beagle puppy. and she is the cutest thing in the world. brown floppy ears and black spots down her back are her main features. shes a little irritating at time because she isnt house trained yet so she has to be watched like a hawk, but other than that she is so much fun to play with.

anybody got any ideas to keep an 11-week old puppy from peeing in the kennel at night? we've tried the letting her outside before she goes to bed, but it doesn't seem to work. just post a comment if you do. thanks :)
