Hello Internet.lol

Things have been going pretty good lately.
A few bumps in the road here and there but overall things are going good.
Lots of school work and lots of studying going on. There are midterms this week and i'm really nervous and stressed out about them so I am just trying to keep my head on straight and keep things organized and get as much study time as I can in.

Been hanging out with friends and burning the midnight oil since I got off restriction, which is probably a bad idea considering that a body needs sleep.
Though, i have come to the conclusion that sleep is overrated, and that I can sleep when I'm dead. You only live once so you might as well make it worth it!

BAD ABOUT BLOGGING

OK SO I'M REALLY BAD WITH KEEPING UP WITH THIS THING BUT IM WORKING ON IT.
THINGS HAVE BEEN SO CRAZY LATELY WITH SCHOOL AND MEETING ALL THESE NEW PEOPLE AND DOING ALL THESE NEW THINGS, OH ITS JUST SO AMAZING.
OK SO FIRST OFF. COLLEGE IS AMAZING. BEST CLASS I HAVE IS MY ACTING CLASS. IM WORKING ON MEMORIZING A MONOLOGUE FOR MY MIDTERM AND AFTER THAT I HAVE A PARTNER AND WE'RE DOING A SCENE. I LOVE ALL THE DRAMA AND GETTING TO EXPRESS MYSELF AND BE WHATEVER I WANNA BE.
HAVE MANY OTHER CLASSES, AND AM KEEPING UP WITH THEM ALL. COLLEGE SUCCESS IS THE MOST BORING CLASS EVER!!! GONNA HAVE A PRESENTATION HERE SOON. A POWER POINT PRESENTATION SO THIS SHOULD BE A FUN EXPERIENCE.

OH YEAH MY BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE FREAKING WORLD, YEAH, HER NAME IS KRISTIN BROOKE HERRING AND I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD BE WITHOUT HER THESE DAYS.



GROUNDED AT THE MOMENT SO I DONT GET TO SEE HER BUT THIS IS THE LAST WEEK AND WE GONNA LIGHT THIS WORLD ON FIRE WHEN I GET OFF.

SO MANY THINGS GOING ON BUT ILL KEEP YOU ALL UPDATED ON HOW THINGS GO.
LOVE TO ALL

YES!

Things are going AMAZING lately. Got a call from Santa fe the other day and they asked me to come to the college because they wanted to talk about my transcripts, one thing led to another, they told me that they appreciated my persistence and enthusiasm about everything that was happening, I was sitting there all nervous and freaking out and she pulls out this stamp and stamps "ACCEPTED" on my application. An extreme relief.
Needless to say things are about to change dramatically.
Starting 2 summer classes on the 30th. One online and one at the college!
I never thought that I would be excited about school but the truth is I am.
Things are changing for me and it's like the life I want is right at my fingertips and I'm trying so hard to grab it.
Life is amazing and I am so blessed and so happy to see where this road takes me!

HELLER!

OK, SO IT FEELS AS IF IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I BLOGGED.
THINGS ARE GOING OK.
OUTTA SCHOOL. WENT TO GAGEY'S 1ST BIRTHDAY THIS PAST SUNDAY.
DEALING WITH SIBLINGS, NEVER ANYTHING FUN!
WENT TO BAMA LAST WEEK ON ACCOUNT THAT GRAMMA BROKE HER KNEECAP. OLD LADIES IN CRUTCHES, YEAH I LEARNED NOT TO MESS WITH THEM.LOL
NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO TO WEST VIRGINIA THIS YEAR :((( *SOBBING*
HOWEVER I AM GOING TO GET TO GO TO FORT PIERCE FOR A WHILE :) GRAMMA AND SARA GET READY. YOU ARE MY ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE. MY PARENTS ARE OFFICIALLY SICK OF ME BEING HOME WITH NO SCHOOL! SO IT'S GONNA BE AN AWESOME.
LAYING OUT IN THE SUN, GOING TO THE BEACH, HANGING OUT WITH THAT ADORABLE BABY THAT IS DOWN THERE. OH YEAH, ITS GOING TO BE GREAT.
THINGS HAVE OPENED UP NOW THAT I AM (VERY SADLY) NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WEST VIRGINIA THIS YEAR, I AM GOING TO TRY AND GO TO THE CAMP THAT THE CHURCH IS DOING IN ELLIJAY, GA. AND THERE IS VBS THE LAST WEEK OF JULY AND I AM TEACHING AGAIN THIS YEAR.
THINGS ARE GOING TO START GETTING BUSY AGAIN, LIKE THE SAT'S ARE ON THE 5TH OF JUNE, WHICH TRANSLATED IS NEXT WEEK. TOOK THE PRETEST AND DID PRETTY WELL ON IT. I REALLY SEE NO POINT IN TAKING ANOTHER TEST TO EVALUATE IF I AM SMART ENOUGH TO GET INTO COLLEGE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I ALREADY KNOW THAT I AM. AFTER THAT, THE NEXT WEEKEND WE ARE GOING TO BE IN ALABAMA ON ACCOUNT THAT MOM HAS A FAMILY REUNION GOING ON THAT WEEKEND. IT'S ALSO THE 1ST RUN WITH THE RV, IT SHOULD BE A VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE!
THEN WHO KNOWS WHERE WE ARE HEADED NEXT.LOL
HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE SUMMER PLANS!!! WHEN THINGS START HAPPENING THAT ARE MORE INTERESTING I WILL BLOG ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE.
LOVE TO ALL

Extremely Confused

There are times that I think I have my whole life planned out and think that I know exactly what I wanna do and who I wanna be. The truth is, I'm having such a hard time trying to figure out exactly what I want to do with my life.
For the longest time, I've wanted to go to college, get my Nursing degree, aquire my RN license and just move on with my life from there. One of the things with that is, its going to be the same things everyday. I want something that is going to have new challenges, something that is inconsistent and that I feel passionately about.
Also another thing, i'm not normally one that is a snooty chickk but I have expensive taste. I want a job that makjes me challenge myself and has no ceiling as far as pay, and no limit to what I can do. I want to be a career woman. I want to have a strong foundation and build myself up, work hard, be successful and do everything that I have ever dreamed of.
I understand that every teenager says this but maybe I hsve the ambition to actually pull it off.
Only time will tell, but I sure hope that I can make up my mind and not be flip floppy about my life and my career.

SUMMER 2010

Oh it has been amazing so far. Spent 2 weeks with the Little People and had an amazing time.
I Love my family more than anything!!!
Got to go to disney world with them and go shopping with them and just have a great time! This summer so far has been great and I cannot wait to see what is in store for the rest of it!
Plan on going to spend some time with my Grandma Carel and Papa for a while and of course my Fairy Godparents! Not sure what else is in store but I can't wait!!

Called the College today and they told me that my application is being reviewed and that the letters of acceptance and decline dont go out until the end of May!
I am going to be pulling my hair out by then!!!!!

Hey !! I see that its been a little while since i've blogged, but i've been pretty busy. I've been at Kate and Berts all week and i'm having a blast! Busy as always but so much fun!
there was alot of stuff going on At home and being here I dont have to worry about it. I'm loving it :)

Happy Easter!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY.
ALOR OF PEOPLE THINK THAT EASTER IS A DAY MADE UP BY THE CANDY STORES THAT IS JUST ANOTHER EXCUSE TO BUY CHOCOLATE AND PRESENTS BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
TODAY IS THE DAY THAT MY SAVIOUR (all our saviour) DEFIED ALL LOGIC AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD. JESUS DIED ON A CROSS BEARING ALL OUR SINS AND CONQUERED DEATH 3 DAYS LATER AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD.
I'LL NEVER KNOW WHY, BUT I AM SO GLAD THAT JESUS LOVES ME SO MUCH BECAUSE I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT HIM!!
THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SHARE SOME PICS FROM CHURCH THIS MORNING.!





MRS. MILDRED AND I....ONE OF THE SWEETEST LADIES THAT YOU'LL EVER MEET!!




MS. CHLOE HARRIS. WHAT A SWEET AND FUNNY GIRL. LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH HER. MAKES ME THINK OF WHEN I WAS HER AGE AND I WANTED TO BE ONE OF THE TEENAGE GIRLS.




OH AND WE CANNOT FORGET PASTOR ROD.! HE WAS SO UPSET THAT HE HAD TO WEAR BIG BOY PANTS.....AND *gasp* A TIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!










Mr Rhett And I :) A Major inspiration. I've never heard a discouraging word come out of his mouth, he encourages me to be better. at music....at everything




Sheri and I :) One Of The Few Adults I Can Talk To, And They understand me! One Of The Few That Doesnt Judge Me Off What I've Been But Who I Am :)

LIFE

ALRIGHTY SO ITS BEEN A LONG FEW DAYS BUT A FUN FEW DAYS!!!
THIS PAST WEEKEND, WENT TO THE YOUTH EVANGELISM COMFERENCE AND HAD A GOOD TIME, ONE OF THE GIRLS THAT WAS ON THE TRIPS HADN'T BEEN COMING TO OUR CHURCH VERY LONG AND GOT SAVED AND IT WAS TRULY SOMETHING AMAZING!!!
SHE'S GETTING BAPTIZED IN THE LAKE AT THE EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE THIS YEAR, AND WE ARE ALL SO VERY PROUD OF HER.!!!!
AT THIS CONFERENCE 8 OF 14 PEOPLE EITHER GOT SAVED OR RE-DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST, MYSELF INCLUDED.! IT WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS THAT I'VE EVER HAD TO DO, STANDING UP IN FRONT OF A ROOM FULL OF TEENAGERS LOOKING AT ME, BUT I KNEW THAT IT WAS WHAT I HAD TO DO. GOD WAS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF MY HEART AND I KNEW THAT I HAD SOME THINGS IN MY LIFE THAT I HAD TO GET RIGHT, I AM FAR FROM PERFECT BUT THIS IS A START TO CHANGING MY LIFE AND BEING A BETTER PERSON.

WAS AT CHOIR PRACTICE TONIGHT, CHOIR HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MANY BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE. BEEN WORKING ON MY VOCALS AND GETTING MY VOICE TRAINED TO HOLD NOTES LONGER AND ITS FINALLY STARTING TO PAY OFF AND I AM SO GLAD!!!!

GOTTA BE UP AT 5:30 FOR THE SUNRISE SERVICE ON SUNDAY AND WE ARE ALL SINGING AT THE LAKE. ITS GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL AND I CAN'T WAIT.!

IT'S BEEN SUPER SUNNY HERE FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS AND I HAVE BEEN LAYING OUT EVERY CHANCE I GET. ITS AMAZING TO FEEL THE SUNSHINE COMPARED TO THE EXTREME COLD THAT WE HAVE BEEN FEELING!!
LOVE TO ALL AND I HOPE THAT EVERYONE IS DOING WELL!!!
ONLY ONE MORE WEEK OF SCHOOL.
WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW SUMMER GOES!!!

3-25-10

Alrighty so this has been a pretty busy week.
Went to the College on Tuesday and submitted my application to the High School Dual Enrollment Office and they told me that I needed to take the CPT test, Which I did.
Qualified for One college classes, which was sentence skills and something else that I do not remember. lol .
Didnt get the opportunity to talk to a counselor this trip but as soon as my transcripts come in and I go back to the campus i'm hoping to get the chance to talk to someone that can help me get my classes and everything for my degree set up. Never thought that I would be so motivated and intrigued by a college campus. oh my it is soooooo much different than my bedroom. It's an amazing place and i'm so excited that I might actually get the opportunity to do something like this before I graduate, it's a program where the classes I take account for both High School and College credit and thats a very good thing.
Can't wait to see what the rest of the future has in store for me, and I will be sure to keep you all updated.!

CPT test today. My whole future on a plate, please pray for me! wish me luck!

stresssssssss

Ok, tomorrow is my college placement test for Dual enrollment, this and my application get turned in tomorrow to see if I get accepted into this dual enrollment program. If accepted, all my classes will be at the college and they are all in the morning, so I might just have High School, College and A Job! Tomorrows outcome is basically my whole future on a plate!
Please pray that I make good scores and they find my application as one worth reading!!!!!

Oh my gosh, so mom got this bug up her tail and is cleaning out EVERYTHING!
I didnt realize how much junk we really have! How much that just accumulates!
So other than cleaning and school, I'm going to a youth Evangelism Conference this weekend, promises to be a learning experience and fun!
Can't Wait!
Almost done with school. -----> clock's ticking down!

NEW!!!!

So as you can see, the entire blog page is different :)
Things are changing and I'm Ready!
there's a countdown clock -----> over there, that tells all of you
when I am going to be done with my Junior Year in high school.
Hoping to travel some this summer, than once, im done traveling, get a job and get things ready for senior year.
I can't believe it! My last year of high school.
Planning on going to Hawthorne High for my senior year and I can't wait.
I'll be sure to keep you all posted on the progress being made! :)

The Dating Game

In dating, is there anything wrong with having fun?
Doesn it always have to be for a relationship??
Can you not just have fun???????
I mean we're in high school, isn't this soppoesed to be the time that we're sopposed to have fun and not be tied down in relationships.???
Of course, im not saying that we should all go out and sleep around and be stupid, but play the field and have fun!!!!!!

So, i've been thinking....sometimes things aren't gonna go the way you planned, should that keep you from planning or setting goals?? Is the fear of things not working out really a reason that you should give up?. Lately i'n afraid to set goals for the fear of not being able to attain them. We should all strive to do better, correct??

Rachels blog has been hacked =D by Emily =p

Has figured out that she can now blog from her phone....isn't technology amazing!!????

so, its been a blast having Garry here for the last week.
I really love that kid!!!!
His parents got back home tonight and he called, Garry put them all on speaker
so that noone would be left out. I heard Shelby, Bryce, And Adian! They are so cute.
Hearing them, and they way they talk to Garry, saying how much they miss him, about made me cry.
One day I hope I have kids just as sweet :)

DEAR WINTER: GO AWAY!!!

I AM OFFICIALLY SICK OF WINTER. I AM SO READY FOR SUMMER. WAS TRYING ON MY FAVORITE PAIR OF SHORTS THIS MORNING CUZ IT WAS FINALLY WARM ENOUGH TO WEAR THEM, AND I AM SOOOOOOOO WHITE. I DEFINITELY NEED THE SUN AND MY TAN BACK!!!!!!!

March 4th

OK SO TODAY IS MY LITTLE BROTHER AND SISTERS BIRTHDAY. WE'RE ALL HANGING OUT TOGETHER AND HAVING FUN. (WILL HAVE PICS OF THEIR STUFF SOON)

BEEN WORKING HARD IN SCHOOL AND REALLY STRESSING OUT ABOUT IT. I CAN'T WAIT TIL ITS DONE ALREADY, ITS MAKING ME CRAZY!!!
JUST A FEW MORE WEEKS AND I GET THE WHOLE SUMMER. GETTING A JOB THIS SUMMER HOPEFULLY!! JOBS HAVE BEEN PRETTY SCARCE LATELY. JUST GOTTA GET OUT THERE AND START LOOKING. MY CHOIR DIRECTORS WIFE, SHERI, IS GONNA TRY TO HELP ME FIND SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO GIVE ME CREDIT TOWARDS MY NURSING SCHOOL.
AFTER THIS SUMMER, IM GOING TO BE GOING TO HAWTHORNE HIGH AND EITHER GONNA DUAL ENROLL OR KEEP MY JOB. NOT QUITE SURE WHICH PATH IM GOING TO TAKE YET. BEEN THINKING THAT ITS GOING TO BE HARDER THAN I IMAGINED. WAS TALKING TO PASTOR ROD THE OTHER DAY AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS PROBABLY IN MY BEST INTEREST TO GO AHEAD AND DUAL ENROLL, SEEING AS TO HOW HE IS 35 AND JUST NOW GOING TO COLLEGE, BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GET A JOB SO BAD AND START HIS LIFE THAT HE'S, NOT BEEN MAKING MINIMUM WAGE, BUT HE WASN'T MAKING WHAT HE COULD HAVE MADE IF HE WENT TO SCHOOL AND GOT A DEGREE FOR WHATEVER.
TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, AND THINKING BOUT HOW MUCH MORE OF A WORK LOAD ITS GOING TO BE, I WAS THINKING THAT NO MATTER WHAT THE WORKLOAD IT REALLY IS ONLY FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, WHATS A FEW EXTRA HOURS OF SCHOOL IN THE LONG RUN.
I SAY THAT NOW, BUT DOING IT IS A WHOLE OTHER STORY.
SO FOR NOW, THERES JUST ALOT OF THOUGHT GOING ON IN DECIDING WHAT I WANT TO DO.\
<3

life this week

ALRIGHT, SO MY PARENTS HAVE BEEN GONE. COMPLETELY M.I.A.
OK MAYBE NOT COMPLETELY, THEY ARE STILL IN CONTACT BUT ONLY AS LITTLE AS THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH.
BEEN A PRETTY GOOD WEEK, HANGING OUT WITH THE GRANDPARENTS. A LITTLE DIFFERENT BUT STILL ENJOYABLE.
WENT AND SAW DEAR JOHN WITH EMILY TONIGHT, I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THAT YOU ALL SEE IT. IT WAS REALLY GOOD. BOOK WAS BETTER BUT IM NOT JUDGING.
OH AND LAST WEEK CHOPPED 6 INCHES OF MY HAIR OFF, DONT KNOW IF I TOLD YALL YET OR NOT, SO MUCH EASIER TO WORK WITH.
OTHER THAN ALL OF THAT, ALL I HAVE REALLY BEEN DOING IS SCHOOL. OH YEAH, AND IM OFF RESTRICTION AND AM ALLOWED TO RETURN DO SINGING IN THE CHOIR. HOPING THAT IT WILL BE A GOOD EXPERIENCE. THINKING ABOUT AUDITIONING FOR AMERICAN IDOL NEXT SEASON BUT HAVEN'T MADE UP MY MIND YET.
HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH EVERYONE, IF ANYTHING EXCITING HAPPENS YOU'LL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW.

oh joys of family

Ok, so I love my family. But, Some of them need to start worrying about someone other than themselves.! Oh and expecting sympathy automatically. Hellooooo if you got off your ass and did something and tried to fix what was wrong with your life, instead of expecting someone else to do it for you, HEY! you might not be in such bad shape.
I'm sorry, I love you all but I am tired of hearing about your problems! I'll listen if you have an intent on trying to fix them, instead of just complaining to me about them. You can't expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter, sometimes you have to jump in head first! quit sticking your toes in the water to see if its cold, Sink or swim, you'll figure it out! But you just can't expect people to do it for you! YOU need to do something about it!!!!

Here Katie----

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, things have been pretty busy. With school and everything going on it's just been crazy. Was grounded for a while, but i think that I am pretty much off restriction now. Really want my music back.
Things have been nuts!!!
Working on a term paper. Its for English, The subject is going to be on "The Causes And Effects Of The Breakdown Of The Home." It's definitely an interesting subject.

Things in my life have been changing as well as Me.
I've tried to have a new attitude about me and look at things from every angle before i make a decision. Not always the easiest, but definitely rewarding in the end. Next week, im gonna cut my hair and try to change my appearance, in changing my life and my attitude, it would be nice to see a change on the outside.

Hope everyone is well.
Love to all,
