Holiday Greetings to everyone! I love you all!

Ho, ho, ho and what not! Oh, I LOVE the holidays! They are so fun and happy, for the most part. But it's so very easy to lose track of what's important during the holiday season. So, I just hope that if anyone is stressed out over their shopping or decorating, or cooking... for goodness sake, just relax and think about all the good things in life and what the real reason is for celebrating! It makes things a lot easier to deal with.

Anyhoo! So, this week has been pretty sweet. My oldest brother Matthew has been home all week, and it has been cool having him here to hang out with and stuff. This week was also one of the longest weeks of a high school students life. The week before Christmas break just seems to drag forever! It's torture! But I managed to barely make it. And now I have two full weeks of just relaxing and not having to worry about school, except that the week after we go back is Semester finals week. NOOOOOO! I think I am going to totally fail my Chem. final. But I don't want to talk about that right now. I want to talk about all the cool stuff that I did during the week and during the weekend so far.

Well, Tuesday night I had my final Voice Recital with the Voice teacher that I had. She is an absolutely amazing woman. I look up to her so much. But I have to find a new teacher now. Bummer. Anyhoo! The recital rocked and I feel that my voice is getting really good! Then Wednesday and Thrusday night we had our Eagle High/Centenial High School combined choir concerts. It was really different and kind of awkward because Centenial is our Rival school. But Wed. night was Centenial supporter night, and Eagle night was on Thurs.
Then Last night, as a family, we went to the Boise Botanical (sp.) gardens where they decorate the entire garden with Christmas lights. It is absolutely beautiful and for someone that loves pretty things, it was breath taking for me. At the same time, on a rediculous girlish fantasy level, it was so romantic that it made me kind of giddy and sad at the same time. I was watching this couple standing in this little thing that looked like a top of a castle tower, and it was all lit up of course, and they were kinda dancing underneath it. I wanted to take a picture so bad because it was so romantinc, but I was like, "Oy vay! I hate that it's so hard to have a realationship at this age because I want to have a guy kiss me under there!" and then I snapped out of it and told myself that I don't need to think about that kind of stuff. It is hard not to, though, because it just comes so naturally to me... I LOVE chick flicks and fairy tales, so I can't help wanting to be some one's princess, ya know?
Moving on. Then today was really awesome! My friends Ashlee, Kat, Scott, as friend of his, and I all went to the zoo today. It is kinda weird being there in the winter because there is no one there, but the animals were a lot more active for some reason. Maybe we just went at a good time. But that was really fun and I act like a little kid when I'm there because I just get so excited about the animals. Even though they are the same animals every time I go there. I am just a dork. Then when we were leaving, we still had about an hour to spare, so Scott said that he wanted to show us the Idaho State Vetrans Cemetery. So, we went there, and that place is so totally breath taking! You go up to a spot that looks out over the whole Cemetery and the ENTIRE valley, and it just blew me away. I wanted to cry, but I didn't want to get razzed on by Kat. She doesn't like it when people cry. So, I didn't. But I was really overwhelmed by the dedication it took to make this place so beautiful and special for the people that are and will be buried there. After that, I came home and we had our Christmas dinner with Matthew, since he won't actually be here on Christmas. It was really good and we had some family friends over, the Cleverlys'. After dinner, we opened our gifts that were from Matthew and Matthew opened the ones to him from the family. It was really nice. I got a sweet bag fully of Bath and Body Works stuff and Love Spell from Victoria's Secret. And some other things from Phillip's fiance, Charley, and my parents. Then when I was able to, I went over to Ashlee's house and hung out with her, Scott, Kat, and Mitch. All in all, it has been SWEET! I love being with my family and friends! You all ROCK MY WORLD! So... sorry for making this so long, but I HAD to tell everything! If I don't blog again before Christmas, have a Merry Christmas and rock out in the New Year, ya'll! I know I will! Keep it real! Love and peace!

Okay, I have it fixed now!

Well then, as of my last post, I thought that no one was even checking my posts, but I was wrong. So, I fixed my blog now so that anyone can post, even if you are not a member. WOOT! Now that that's taken care of... how are ya? I hope everyone is doing well. And I hope that the stress levels are not too great as Christmas day draws nearer and nearer. I think that my stress levels have gone down quite a bit the last couple of weeks, over the Christmas stuff that is.

I am still going crazy over school stuff. I am trying really hard to keep up, and thankfully, most of my teachers except late work. In fact, I think only one of them does not. I don't know what wrong with her, no one really does. Hardly anyone is getting good grades in her class because she seriously does not know how to teach. I know, you probably think I'm saying that so that I don't have to take any blame. I take full blame for the fact that I don't get my work done, but I don't get it done because I have NO idea what she is EVER talking about. If you aren't a science-crazy-math type of student, then you don't get anything in this class.

But what ev. I'm pretty sure I will either try to get a new Chem. teacher for next semester or just drop the class. I know that colleges like students to have 4 years worth of Science credits, but I don't have to have those 4 years to graduate. I've already got enough science credits for high school. I don't know, it's a hard choice to make, because it will be hard enough to get into college, even if I have the 4 years, so I need all the help I can get. But there are other credits I could get as well, so that I don't have to worry about them next year. I really need to get with my counselor to talk to her about what I credits I still need and what I can do about my classes that I'm not doing to well in.

Anyhoo! It's been fun, but I gotta go. Going to Barns And Noble just to see what cool books they have. If you know a lot about basic Chemistry, leave me a post or e-mail me because I could really use a lot of help getting that stuff! Have a Wintery wonderful day! Tcho!

Is this a complete waste of my time? YOU should let me know!

Okay people, this is dumb. I feel like I do things that are going to be cool and fun and people will be somewhat interested in, but they always end up being a waste of time. So, if this blog is a waste of time, I'd really like to know. Like, if no one is even reading this, then I shouldn't be blogging. SO! If there is even ONE person reading this, let me know. I may not put much in here but if there is just one person, but I will still blog if that one person wants me to. But if no one lets me know within about a week to two weeks, I'm not going to blog anymore. I am just going to delete this and forget about it. I'm sorry to be so negative, but it's just disappointing when I e-mail everyone on my list and tell them to check it out, then no body does. Actually, I know my mom does. And that counts as one (very important) person. So, if my mom wants me to keep blogging, I will. Anyhoo! I was going to tell about something that happened tonight, but I will tell about it tomorrow because I am really tired and worn out from all the excitement of the night. Later dudes!
