Back at School

So school started a couple days ago and it's already getting stressful. I'm in 8th grade, but our 8th grade is at the high school so I'm pretty much catgorized as a high schooler. And let me tell you, being an 8th grader in a world of high schoolers is pretty intimidating at first.

But anyway, that's beside the point. What this post is about is how everyone at school (teachers, counslers, etc.) expect you to know where you want to end up in life. They expect you to know what you want to go to college for, what you want your career to be and the steps you will take yo get there. Except I'm only 13!!! I have no idea what I want to do when I'm older! I have this endless list going on of jobs I might want to have and every one of them is different! I guess some teachers think I have my whole life planned out at the age of 13.

Then there's that whole credits junk that I just don't understand at all and I'm so happy I don't have to deal with all that business until (hopefully) sophmore year. All I know is that right now, I'm taking band until I graduate, I love my insane Accelerated English teacher and I still hate Accelerated Math. Some things just don't change..

Well I need to go put ice on my leg again. I have a humungo knot in my gastroc muscle (I didn't know that there was such a thing as a gastroc muscle) and if it's not better by tomorrow my trainer is going to use his thumbs of steel to get it out. So I'm going to go ice!

sports sports and more sports

I am super duper tired right now. And kinda sweaty still. I just got home from my first soccer practice of the new season and I realized I probably should have trained a little more in the off season. Meaning that my soccer skills arent as good as they should be right now. Oh well, I'm sure things will improve sooner or later.

Anyway it's not just soccer that's been making me so tired. I have cross country practice everyday now and that just sucks the energy right out of me. Especially because this summer I didnt run as much as I should have due to the fact that I had swim practice for 2 hours everyday and basketball games every other night. Needless to say, my social life lacks dramatically these days.

Now don't get any wrong ideas from what I'm saying. I love all the sports I do, it's just that sometimes I wish I had more time to do other things instead of worrying about staying in good shape or making sure that I'm making all my practices. I dont want to waste away my high school years worrying about sports all the time. I want to enjoy my years of youth because I know they won't last forever. I guess I'm just scared to waste my life away, even though this is part of my life. This is why I'm actually looking forward to school starting again, because then I'll get to see my friends everyday again. Well I really need a shower now because running around in heat for and hour and a half makes you smell kinda bad.

Until next time.

a place to be me

Finally. I have found a place where I can be myself, feel safe with expressing who I am and can say whatever I want. Now it's not that I don't express who I am outside of this little computer, but I feel as though I can be myself here and not be judged by people I know, because no one I know has a blog on here!

Basically, I'm here to just be myself and have fun! I'm a 13 year old girl seeking adventure, whether it be real or created in my head. I love reading when I have the choice to. When a teacher forces me to read something, it makes the book a lot less enjoyable for me. When I'm stressed out, I turn to music. I listening to and writing music, it takes my mind away from everything going on around me. When it;s just me and my guitar, I can't help but smile. I also have a strange liking towards zombies and ninjas. Its not like if I saw a zombie on the street I would go give it a hug, cuz that would be just plain dumb, but I am very fond of them. As for ninjas, well my lack of ninja skills relfects my admiration towards them, so yeah...

There's something else you should know about me. I'm a complete and total Harry Potter nerd. Not kidding. I've read every book and seen every movie at least 100 times. I have a post-it note countdown on my door counting down the days until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out. (97 days.) Whenever my fellow nerd friends have a quoestion about the books or movie, they come to me and 99.99% of the time I can answer them write. (no one's perfect though.)

Well that's pretty much it. If you follow my blog, I'll probably follow you, and bake you cookies. Baking is fun, isnt it? Yes so if you want a new follower, and cookies you can most likely get those by following me :)
