I am Here for you no matter what

Well i am up at GVSU and i haven't been on here in like FOREVER. So i thought that i would update and say that school is going fine and the the marching band here is great. I miss AP though. Mom got married in July and then i moved to white lake in August.


Not quite sure what else to say! 

Well i have decided that i am going to go to GRAND VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY. I turned in my stuff for housing yesturday after i took a tour of the campus. I like the campus because it is just the right size. Not huge but not tiny. I can't wait and am excited about going.

I have yet to find out what is going to happen for leaving school on friday of last week. It is still up in the air until all of the administration decides on what a good idea will be.

School has been going well. I can't believe that it is second semester already though. Graduation is coming up faster then i thought that it would. I am keeping my grades up and that is always a good thing.

I have my prom dress and can't wait for prom. I am acctually excited about a dance and that is a first.

Peru is coming up in just over a month and that is going to the trip of my life. I can't wait for that. It should be a great experience. It is one of those things that i never thought i would be able to do.

I miss talking to you as a friend but i guess thats what happens when you seperate.

that is all i can think of right now.

Why is it fair that at the age of seven i child should die? I just don't understand. I feel like a little kid again where nothing makes much since. And nothing really seems as important as it did before. Just life it self seems so much more valuable and nothing else really matters.

For those of you that don't know already.
Come the begining of August i am moving out to white lake. I will no longer be living here and i wanted to make sure you all knew. 


thats all for my little service announcement.

Well my weekend up  north was loads of fun. I got to hang out with a few friends for five days. It was a great time to just get away and sleep, eat, play cards, along with just being together. Brought in the year together and it was a good time. 

Oh and about the whole boyfriend thing. It is over pretty much before it began but that is a long story and mostly my fault. But oh well life goes on!!!

I GOT MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER TO GVSU TODAY!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who don't know that is Grand Valley State University!!!!

Also other good news..

I am now in a relationship that i am VERY happy with!!!

Through the Eyes of a Teenager
Every day passes,
Reminding me of lessons to be learned.
Opportunities pass me by,
Showing me things to be earned.

I do not know life as an adult sees it,
Only as a child and teen.
I can only guess what life is meant to be,
Based on what I've seen.

Today I learned of love,
And the pain that it may bear.
You can never know a person's truth,
Behind the masks they wear.

I do not know the meaning of love,
Or why it is ever true.
I'm unsure of so many things these days,
I know less than I thought I knew.

I find it's getting difficult,
To distinguish bad from good.
And although it sounds cliche,
I'm a child misunderstood.

I need to move on past the hurts,
Move to heaven from this hell.
I need to stand up to others,
And to myself as well.

I don't know how to tell,
A good friend from the bad.
We talk behind each other's backs,
Ruining the trust we had.

When I stare into the mirror,
I see things I wish I could deny
A fear of judgement and confrontation,
I can no longer look myself in the eye.

If everybody has to go,
Through torment and through pain.
If they understand the hurt,
That is another's gain.

If they can feel,
The burden of their fears.
And know the cost,
Of showing their tears.

If they know how it feels,
To have a lover or friend.
Stab their backs with knives,
Why are they so cruel to say
These are the best years of our lives?

A Toast
Raise your glass to the sky
with hopes and dreams held high.
To the graduates I toast...

Here's to the friends we've lost and gained,
and the people we'll never know by name.
To the bonds that we've made and albums we filled,
memories that may fade but never be killed.

Here's to the phone calls filled with tears,
and to the hours spend talking away our fears.
To the people we thought deserved our hearts, 
whom now we bash and rip apart.

Here's to the pictures in frames with stories to say,
that we will be sure to pack when we go away.
To the football games we have watched beneath the lights,
and our cheers and chants drifting into the night.

Here's to proms and dances,
and high-school romances.
To homecoming games,
with all the wins in our name.

Here's to late nights we've spent cramming for tests,
and mornings where coffee made up for our rest.
To the dances and events we took months to create,
the night before worries that came to late.

Here's to the tears we knew we'd cry,
to the people and places we say good-bye.
To the wild and bizarre things we've done,
that we will remember to be the most fun.

Here's to the letters we left unsigned,
may our identities be revealed all in due time.
To the relationships we wonder how we ever lived without,
and the crushes we look back on and laugh about.

So now it is time to places our glasses down,
put on our caps and turn our tassels around.
Listen for our names and let them echo through,
and realize how fast these last four years just flew.

All of the ensembles at the CONCERT did a fantastic job. Job well done to all on the first concert performed in the auditorium.

I never thought that i would have to think about something like this. But the reality has finally shown through. I am not a little kid any more and have to deal with adult ordeals. A friend of mine is thinking about going into the navy. He took his test and got a 33 with the best being a 36. If he fills out the rest of the paper work the possibility of where he would be sent is iraq and that would be until we go to navel war with korea.

He keeps asking what i think and i put on a total show. I tell him that it is his choice and he should do it. But on the inside it is really scaring me. The thought of everything that is happening over there is mind boggling. I can't think of what to do.

It is just a really scary thought and i didn't know what to do or to think. So the best thing i thought was to write or type it out.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I haven't quite decided whether or not this is good or bad. But since my mom is engaged after the date of July 28 2007. I will no longer be a resident of allen park i will be living in white lake when i am not at school. Just so everyone knows now. And it won't be such a big surprise when it happens

Friday was really long but good. I didn't get to bed until about 2:00ish friday morning because me and kaylynn were working on the band float making sure that it would be done in time for the parade.

Then i went to school and got to skip the test since i wasn't there the day before for the review. So i just sat there for a half hour while the class finished their tests. Then after going to the rest of my classes the band performed at the the PEP ASSEMBLY!! That went wonderfully. The band sounded great and it was so good to hear everyone cheering for us. The football players even went into a chorus of "lets go band" it was great to hear. Then we had the parade at 3:15. That was ok i am really glad that it was my last homecoming parade at the high school. The game was a lot of fun we got to perform "my heart will go on" and CHELSEA MCCULLEY recieved homecoming queen. I am really glad that she got it because i thought that she was one of the most deserving of the 5 girls on court. They all looked beautiful. After the game i got to go out to eat with meghan, kelli, troy, ian, alexis, david, and meghan's friend who i don't remeber her name (sry). That was fun because i haven't hung out with meghan since before she left for bowling green so that was nice. 

Saturday was long. A pep band went and performed for operation grandma. That went very well we even had people getting emotional because some of us were giving up our homecoming morning to make this lady's birthday that much happier. I am glad that i went because it was a lot of fun to do and i always like seeing the smile of people's faces during and after we perform. Then i had preperation for homecoming. Which that all flew by. Took a bunch of pictures before. Then had dinner at Romen Village. They had FANTASTIC FOOD there. The dance went well . I still kind of wish that i would have had a date but life goes on with that. I looked good and thought that the night went very well. It was a nice last homecoming in high school. Kaylynn, scott, ryan, sarah, greg, katrina, beth and a couple other people went bowling after wards. That was fun cuz we were all still dressed up.

Sunday just flew by because the day before was so long. 

I great weekend all in all. I am glad that it was a great homecoming.

That is all i have to say about my weekend. Check out a few pictures on myspace.

HELL YA BITCHES WE WON OUR GAME TODAY!!!!!! Really close game but we won 32-27. The JAGS ROCKED THE HOUSE!!! We almost weren't able to go to the game because fordson was being dumb and was going to make us pay to get in. So our very generous football team pitched in to get us the money to go. Our football team rocks and some of them really do have hearts!

Thats all for an update right now..

The first to days of school went pretty well.

I like all of my classes except for pre-calc because i don't like my teacher. So far a.p. chem is pretty cool.

Band class seems a little weird though. Almost erie in a sence because it doesn't seem full any more. A big part of what made band comfortable is gone. I mean i still love band but it seems weird.  I bet it has something to do with being a senior. 

The macy's gig yesturday went pretty well. Everything went according to plan. Only problem was that it took us forever to get home. 1. becuz of traffic 2. because of the RAIN!!!

I think fiddler is going to be a fun show we had a read through yesturday and have rehersal today.

(the subject is a message in its self and has nothing to do with the entry)

Well Happy News For Me. I got into fiddler on the roof and am in the chorus. I am quite happy to be in the show i would have liked to have a named part but i can deal with just being titled chorus. So in november i think it is everyone should come and see my show because it will be a fun time.

Another good thing is that we have one both of our football games so far this year. It is starting off to be a pretty good year. True there are some things that our team could be doing better at but there isn't to much i can do about that,

Band is going pretty well we have moved into the NEW BAND ROOM which has 2 SEPERATE LIBRARIES for band and choir. I am happy about that so i don't have to worry about choir librarians yelling at me about the music being mixed together.

School is starting on wendesday and i don't want it to. I must do my A.P. chem work. 

Well that is all for now. I will talk to you all later.

I wish change didn't happen so often!!!

Well i tried out for fiddler on the roof today. I think that the auditions went pretty good. At least they went better for this show then they did for the last show i tryed out for. I hope i make it in and if i don't it is because i had an ok audition and  didn't stand out from the rest. Which can be understandable cause i do tend to blend into the crowd. Oh well that is all i have to say about everything. 

I LOVE MY GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!! WE had a ball while we were in up in frankenmuth! Best summer yet. BAND CAMP CREW '06!!!

 

That is all i have to say. Oh and i might actually audtion for a show this week i haven't decided yet. Guys and Dolls should i do it or not?

Band camp was the best this year. I spent every night with seven of the most fabulous girls in the world!!! Alexis, Amber, Sarah, Kelli, Amanda, and Kaylynn. These are the best girls in the world and this year is going to be the bomb spending time with them!

I got to see meghan again at band camp she came home and showed up the last day. It was good to see her again cuz i love that girl. But i don't know it just kinda seemed weird. The fact that i was there at band camp doing stuff and she was watching. 

I have my senior pictures if anyone would like to seem them just let me know. I have in door and outdoor proofs to look at and select from.

i guess that is all. BAND CAMP CREW '06 IS LOVE!!!!
