College Road Trip-Part 1


This weekend my friend and I went to Meredith College and NC State. This trip was so much fun!! I really enjoyed myself.
First, we went to Meredith. The more I heard from the people at Meredith, the more interested I was in the school except for one thing-it's an all-girls school!!! NO BOYS!! This information is somewhat depressing because boys are a major part in the college hunt and overall college lifestyle-at least in my opinion. While at Meredith, I got a chance to talk to the basketball coach. This is a good thing because she asked to see some video of me playing. So now I need to send her some video. I am being recruited!! I haven't officially ruled Meredith out of my college long list.
Second, we went to North Carolina State. This college did not live up to my expectations. I don't know what I thought the inside of the campus would look like. It was just concrete and buildings. What a real bummer!!! So I have officially ruled State off of my college long list. I want to go to school with a little bit grass. I mean come on people, God made grass for a reason, even if I am allergic to it.
Next on my agenda as far as my college road trip is concerned is a trip to the University of North Carolina. You know the one in Chapel Hill!!! Also a trip to Wake Forest is in store. These two schools are my dream schools; so it is necessary that I take a trip to these two schools.
My book for the week is A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks. As I may have mentioned earlier, I am really starting to become obsessed with his books. I borrowed this book from a friend who said that this was her second favorite Nicholas Sparks' book after the Last Song. I find A Walk to Remember to be pretty interesting, especially considering that I haven't gotten to the "love" part yet. I was told that I was going to cry more...I pretty much cried like a baby when I read the Last Song and Dear John. I'll have to talk more about the book later once I have finished reading it. I might just do a comparison of all the Nicholas Sparks books I have read to date. I really want to read some more of his books. They are pretty good.
Well I will go for now, got school in the morning!!

Guess what I got yesterday?!?! I got my copy of New Moon!! I have already watched it twice!!! And there are many more times on the way!!
I absolutely am in love with Jacob Black!!! Go away Edward!! My DVD says go away!! lol. I need to watch the commentary. Last time I watched a Twilight commentary, Rachel and I got a good joke out of it. Thank you Robert Pattinson, your general lack of knowledge for what a gardenburger is helped us with that.
At this exact moment, I am watching the documentary of the making of New Moon. Did I mention my love for Jacob Black?!?!? Yeah, he just showed up in this documentary.
My favorite part of the movie?? Well, let me think. How about the whole movie!! But really, the scene in the movie theater---"Put your gun down or I'll blow your friggin head off!!" Haha!!!
I got the fan copy of New Moon with a sneek peek of Eclipse!! I am super-excited for it!!! June 30th will be awesome!!! I <3>
Well guess I better go!!
Oh and my bracket for march madness is absolutely ruined!! I would personally like to thank Georgetown, Notre Dame, UNM, Villanova, and Kansas. There are probably some more teams, but at this time I have forgotten them.

My awesome, sad weekend

This weekend, I took the dreaded SAT!!! That was the hardest test I think I have ever taken. Not because it was hard, but because it was 4 hours long. I have never taken a test for 4 hours straight. I hope my scores are good though. I will take the SAT again May 1, if you were wondering. I have to take that dreaded test twice-I promised my momma I would.
I hope my scores are high.
The awesome part of my weekend comes in now. NEW MOON COMES OUT IN EXACTLY 6 DAYS!!! This is very exciting!!
Today at church, we had a fire drill. This is weird. Who has ever heard of a church having a fire drill??? Not me. We did get out in record time.......1 minute and 45 seconds!! The fire marshall said we did an excellent job and that we should give ourselves a pat on the back. Our goal was to get out of the church in 2 minutes, and we topped that.
In other news, Kentucky won the SEC championship and is headed to the NCAA tourney!!! Duke won the ACC and is headed to the NCAA!!! So tonight and beginning next week, I will be glued to the television to make sure my bracket matches the true winners of this awesome madness!! Bracketology on ESPN!!!!
Well I have to print out my bracket now!! Peace out, homies!!!

Eclipse Excitement




Today while I was on twitter, I saw a link to the Eclipse 10 second trailer. I immediately became excited and just had to click on the link. I am now excited to see Eclipse!!! Eclipse is my favorite book in the Twilight Saga; so I am especially excited to see this movie!!
I am team Jacob. Well the fact that I am team Jacob comes from a long story. I was originally team Edward. I mean, come on, he is this awesome vampire!! While watching Twilight, I was committed to Edward Cullen. I was in love with "Edward Cullen." Well, things changed when Jacob Black removed those hair extensions! I suddenly felt myself leaning toward team Jacob. He is so werewolf. Now I have concluded that I am team Edward for the books and team Jacob for the movies!! Taylor Lautner is so much cuter that Robert Pattinson in regular life.
Well, I will definitely be there on June 30th especially since there is no school! I hope I can take my bestie!!! We definitely have a few-bunch-of Twilight, Rob, Taylor, and Kristen jokes that are hilarious, at least to us.
Well, this is it for today!! Peace out!! <3

Farmville

FARMVILLE ADDICTS = My #1 annoyance

I played farmville for like 2 minutes today, and I absolutely abhor it!!! Why are people so obsessed with it?? My history teacher is crazy obsessed, so are a few of my family members. :) I love them, but don't get mad if I don't know what I am doing. Sadly, I am anti-farmville!!!!
Well on the flip-side, I have a resume to type up. Even though I am not in the job hunt, my English teacher thought it would be good practice to type up a little hypothetical resume!! Whoo hoo!! Sports journalist all the way baby!!
Another thing....IT'S MARCH MADNESS!!!! It's the time of the year that I print out my awesome brackets, choose who I think is going to win, and watch basketball every moment I am awake and asleep!!! This is my second favorite time of the year after Christmas and Thanksgiving and before summer!!! I wish I could cheer for my Tarheels; but since they stink this year, I guess I will have to root somewhere else. I think I will cheer for my Syracuse Orange!!! Go Orange!!!!
Well, this is the end for today!! God bless!! :) A little Tim Tebow in there for ya!!

1st blog-Why must basketball season end??

I really want to know something, and I always wonder why??? Why must the basketball season come to an end (hints the name)??? As soon as the season starts getting good-IT JUST ENDS!! I mean come on....the NBA plays for what seems like forever!!! WHY CAN'T WE?!?! There's always AAU, but there are no local girls' teams in my age bracket.
So what will I do with my time??? I guess I will work somewhere... I am supposed to be working at a radio station!! YIPPEE!!! Since I want to major in Communications/Journalism, this is a great opportunity for me. I also might intern for the D.A. Yeah, I also want to get my law degree.
I am ready for the next season though----volleyball!! I just want to attack one time. Oh, and jump serve!!! Yeah, all that good stuff!!!
Although this will be my senior year (tear falling down my sad face), I am actually kinda excited to see what's next. I am filling out college apps now...and that dreaded SAT!! AAAAHHH!!! That's some scary stuff!! :)
Oh, and I am also really obsessed with Nicholas Sparks' books!!!! I have read Dear John, the Last Song, and I am really excited to read The Notebook!!! Sad thing is I have to finish reading The Lovely Bones before I can start it!!! Bummer!!
So I am excited because this month and next month are filled with college road trips..oh, and did I mention the SAT??? My bestie and I are hitting up some colleges at the end of the month that I will definitely have to blog about..oh and show some pics.
Well, I guess this blog is long enough. I am obsessed with this blogging stuff, even though it has been around for the longest time. Anywayz, I have to prepare for the Oscars...and my Anatomy and Physiology and Algebra 2 tests that I have been putting off all weekend. BYE!!!
