Slow Jams

Into my senior year I have noticed that I am into more slower music than regular music. The only kind of music I will listen too is hip hop or rap and some rock. There never use to be slow hip hop on my ipod, but now it seems as if that is only what is on my ipod. It just seems like slow music makes me feel more relaxed, and at the same time a more energetic feeling. There are few artist i refer to with good slow music is Akon, Fantasia and Chris Brown. Most people don't like that kind of music because it can make them fall asleep, to me it is the opposite. It gets me thinking a lot as well, either about friends, family or just like itself. My favorite slow song is "When I see You" by Fantasia, I love the beat and the rhythm she has in it. I can not go a day without listening to it, or if I do I play it over and over the next day.

Most people have their different taste in music, either fast, slow, loud, or soft music. We just need to understand that we are not the kind of person if there wasn't music, sometimes it can make us who we are today.

Teaching

After high school I plan on attending Kirkwood and transfer to UNI to go into Education. I really like helping people and being with people, it makes my day a lot better. Especially younger kids make my day because their so young that their still understanding and learning new things. I will most likely stick with kids that are in high school, or that are in elementry. When I pick my brother up at elementry school I see the little kids running around and trying to get where they need to be even if means knocking others over. Sometimes I picture myself as the teachers, telling them to do something right and helping them. There are times when I think if I will be a good teacher, or if I can handle it enough. I guess I will have to figure it out myself and go through the courses for it to see if it is really what I want to do.

Saw

The most scariest, and disgusting movies I have seen are the Saw sequels. It had all started with the very first Saw movie, which it wasn't as scary as the others. The only scary was at the end when the guy had to cut off his foot to escape for help. Overall, I thought the first one could have been a bit better. The rest of the sequels have been the best I think, their more grusome and they have a better plot of where it takes place. In the first Saw, it just had taken place in a room the whole time.

I've noticed in the sequels they have been leaving parts of the movie before into the movie they have made. It is kind of cool how they did that so then if you needed a refresh of what happened in the movie you could know. The newest Saw is by far the best out of all of the movies made. I liked how the setting of the plot was, the story behind it, and how it ended was interesting. You can always tell if there'll be a new sequel just by the ending. If there will be a new coming out, I am sure to go see that one.

What are you Wearing?

Many people are fashionable in this world, and I am not one of those people. I mean, I am not going to lie, I love fashion, but laying around in sweats all day is more comfortable for me. One the weekends I will be up for dressing nicely and maybe some days during the week I will do that too. There are people that look great in certain style of clothes, it just depends on your mood, style of body and your comfort in clothing. If you have a big butt and around hips, wearing a short skirt that shows your butt wouldn't be comfortable. I was told never to wear clothes that aren't your size, because it doesn't show your real size of body. Plus who wants to wear a shirt or pants that are tight against their bodies, I know that I wouldn't want that. I am into more of skinny jeans than flare or wide bottom jeans, those just don't interest me very much. There are friends of mine that can pull that off, but defiantly not me. There are people that can even pull off wearing bold shirts that are way cute and that stand out. Sometimes I wish that I would have the guts to do that, it's that there is always something stopping me from wearing those types of clothing. Anyhow, I have curvy hips and a curvy butt, so anything that fits me perfect I will get in a instant. Most of my clothes are from the Gap, Old Navy, Von Maur, Urban Outfitters, and I like Forever 21, but haven't been there for awhile. Those stores have the most stylish clothes that are most comfortable for me that I can wear.

I do hope in the future that my dressing habits will improve to being more stylish and outgoing, for now I will stick with my shorts, t-shirts, and sweat pants. :)

Proud to be a Blonde Baby!

If you don't know me, I am known as the biggest blonde ever. I have been a pure blonde ever since I was a little girl, and it did grow darker as I was growing up. It was not until sophomore year that I began highlighting it to keep it how it use to be. Somehow this blondness really shows to people, especially when I am a ditsy girl. My friends really make fun of me when I don't understand something, or if I can't hear them talk to me, then I will say, "Wait..What?". I get made fun of that so much, even this new guy that came to our school caught onto it and makes fun of me as well. I have a feeling that this habit will stay with me for awhile. There are times that I totally make mistakes on silly things. Such as school work, or just random things that we do, I just get confused easily it seems like. Hopefully one day this whole blondness will fade away, making me seem more intelligent than I am now. Sometimes I see myself as the character in Legally Blonde, even though she is known as the biggest blonde she knows how to make herself noticeable in a more intelligent way.

Texting?..Calling?

There are many ways to talk to people, either texting or you can call the person. Over the past few years I have noticed that texting has been increasing, almost every teen that has a phone has text messaging. So what is the point of calling people when you can just text them? In my opinion, if your on the phone with someone and it is awkward talking to them there will be a dead silence on both lines. It is just better to text because you don't feel stupid for saying something wrong in your own voice, and somehow it takes less work to want to talk with someone. All you have to do is type in words and send, just like an e-mail. Phone companies are even coming out with phones where there is already a keyboard that you can send e-mail or texts faster. I admit that I have one of those phones, and I am a text addict. If I get bored I will just talk through texting, even to random people that I barely talk too. It even comes handy in school because if you need to tell someone something right away, all you do it sneak out your phone and text them. Plus you can't call them during class since that will give it away to the teacher your being interrupted for everyone. There are kids that are in elementary that have cell phones already, and I am pretty sure that they have texting as well.

It is kind of interesting what their going to have for us in the future, whether there will be a t.v. on your cell phone to talk back and forth or something more intelligent to have.

Can I have you Number

The best Youtube video that I have ever seen is "Can I have your number?". The very first time that I saw it was in Hawaii with my friend Jenny Valliere. We were looking on youtube with her younger brother Justin, and came across this video. While we were on vacation there, that is all we would joke about. Justin did the best impression of the guy hitting on the girl, it was greatest time. It seemed like every time that we would get out of bed, we'd go straight to the computer to look up more youtube videos, and we would always have to watch the number one. There was one time at dinner that we recorded her brother imitating the guy, and honestly sounded like him. Ever since that vacation we don't mention of the joke anymore, but I know that we will always remember the most funny times watching it.

School

I am a senior in high school this year, and it is by far the most stressful years that I have had. It is not just the school work, but trying to figure out what college to choose from and to score good on the ACT's. My grade point average hasn't been the greatest through out my high school, so thinking about college is stressful. I wish that I could go to the past to try to improve my schoolwork more, but I know that I had a chance to do that. The only part that I struggle with the most is with testing and quiz's. I always finish homework and finish projects, it is just the tests that would be a challenge for me. Yes, I am shy sometimes to go ask the teacher for help, but it depends on how comfortable I am with the teacher. Most of the time I have the guts to go talk to the teacher for help. Even though sometimes I still struggle on comprehending what I need help with. The subjects I don't do good in is science and math. Trying to understanding so many problems and solving ways just confuses me. I have even gone in for help, but some reason I still don't get both of the subjects.

For college next year I plan to improve my GPA at kirkwood so I can transfer to UNI for education. For being in that field I know that I have to set a good example on my future students to do good in school.

Last Year of Memories

Ever since we were in middle we have attended football games. At the time we never had the school spirit because we knew that we weren't in high school yet, so we just goofed around and gossiped a lot. I did always wonder what it would feel like being in the section where they have always cheered for the games. Everyone was always dressed up in green and gold, with paint on their faces and screaming with enthusiasm for the players. I knew that would be us one day, yelling and cheering for our proud school of Kennedy. As a freshman we still never reached a point to where we were fully school spirited for football games. There was always a rule that freshman call back row, but our class was at the point of gossiping throughout the game. That is not until we got into our sophomore year, than we came out with spirit to cheer for our players. I think that the feeling of not being the youngest grade in high school got us our bravery to join in.

Every game we came prepared to yell our lungs out, jump up and down with our cheerleaders and to make the other team less useful. It was our Friday or Saturday of the week to do that in the season. Now that we are seniors we wanted to attend every game and to support our senior players.

On October 29th, we had our final last game together as seniors with our school. It was our playoff game vs. Xavier that night, but we never came out as winners. There was 5 second left in the game where we could have taken home the win of 42nd street for the first time this year. Unfortunately, only making it 2 feet away from the touchdown, the buzzer went off. That went our last football season of the 4 years in high school, all just went down in the drain. Everyone was emotional, my friends, classmates, players and parents. I admit that I wasn't emotional, inside I was upset and sad.

Next year we hope that our new seniors will dominate over all the teams in our league, and to show them the real team that should have won before.

Backstreet Boys

Just in the middle of elementary I had fallen in love, with the Backstreet Boys. I don't remember how I began to like their music, it might have been from the radio. It was after their first song that came out that I really started to listen to them. The members of the band were Nick Carter, Howie Dorourgh, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean and Kevin Richardson. I admit that I had to look up everyone name since it has been awhile that I've heard their names around. Not only did I have a crush on the band, but I did crush on the singer Brian Littrel. Everyone was going for Nick Carter or A.J. McLean. I was into his style, and his looks at the time. I think that he still looks the same today. There was one time I went to my neighbors house where she was at the time into Backstreet Boys. She had posters of them around her room, and she was in love with A.J. McLean singer. Around his room she did have pictures of him hanging on her wall, also with a few pictures of Brian Littrel.

The one song that I listened to nonstop was Quit Playing Games with my Heart and Mr. DJ. I would play those songs and many more on my stereo in my room. There was times that I would just fall asleep or lay there listening to the music. Sometimes I would dance to the music, only if I was really into the mood.

It has been over ten years that I have actually listened to any of their music that I liked in elementary. When they said that they were coming back, beginning with a tour to start off, I was happy. I would have never thought that an old band like that would come back to play live again. If only I was little again I would fall back into their fan club. Sadly now that I am older, it was time to move onto something different and new.

Yes I work at a Nursing Home

It was only the summer of 2007, the year when I would become a junior in high school. I still didn't have a job to make my own money. So my parents suggested that I should take on becoming a CNA. My step mom is a nurse and grew up starting off her very first job as a CNA as well. They persuade me to give it a try because I would be making more money than others that are my age, and if I was going to college for nursing it'd give me head up got what I am going into too.

I first had to take courses to learn all the steps in the job, than after passing the courses you need to take a states test. You have to one that is writing and one that you have to show in case of a situation. I passed it all after retaking the test a few times.

At first I applied at many places that were hiring, that's when Northbrook Manor called me to say I had gotten the job. I have been there for over a year now. I don't regret getting this job, except there are the times that I hate working the mandatory of every other weekend. Their pretty easy when it comes down to arranging my schedule. Plus my bosses and co-workers are really nice.

Every time I work is stressful. People may think that it is a gross job, but you get use to it after awhile. Not only is it gross, it's hard dealing with people that are sick, confused or on the verge of dying. Especially the residents that are crabby and mean make you want to rip your hair out sometimes. Than there are the residents that are kind and generous, and that is what makes me come back to work. I am not going to lie, working the less hours I do with schooling is great because I still make the right amount of money that I wanted.

I don't regret any decisions that I did to get into this job, it was all worth it.

Parents

Lately my parents have never been more snoopier than ever. They ask about everything that is going on, or if I have been hiding things from them. Sometimes if it is a major thing, such as I did something I wasn't supposed, or if I was personal problems I normally don't tell them. I know that their going to give me this big lecture that they always when I am trouble. They say that I shouldn't have done that and that if I got caught from someone else that I could have gotten in more trouble. What's the point to tell me how they feel when I know what their going to say. Most of the time I do realize of what I did was wrong and that next time I will learn from it. But most parents don't let you get away that easy.

My parents do as any other does, that is to ground me. As of now I am grounded of my social life. I can not go out with friends or do anything that is part of having fun. Trust me, the past few weeks have been miserable for me because I miss the outside life of being grounded. It sucks since it is my senior, so my parents don't see what I am missing out on with our last memories of high school. For what I got grounded for is very rare of what I did, plus I know that what I did was definitely wrong for me to do. I have learned that taking a risk is never good even though it sounds like it would be a great time.

For now on, following my parents rules will keep me out of trouble. Hopefully leaving me out of trouble for the rest of my senior year. That is the last thing that I don't want to regret when college comes around.

Me, Myself and I

Have you ever woken up before wondering what the day will be like? Or wonder what person you will be that day? Starting off at each new day can always be a mystery.


We could either be someone that we're not to impress others and to fit in with a group. We never think about that, especially when it comes down with school. There are many cliques in our school that we should not even be a part of. It is hard to be someone that we aren't, but being liked or being popular must matter most. I choose my friends by their personality and by how much fun we have together, not by their looks or popularity. Why would you want to be friends in a small group of people when you can be a part of everyones? It's not just being open, it is just to be friendly and meet others around you. We are all going to grow up, and end up living somewhere else then we are now. We are going to have to learn to make new friends, and meet new people. It is fun experiencing views of others hobbies, and their ways to have fun. I know that my friends and I always have different ways to enjoy ourselves. We either have sleepovers, play games, watch movies, go out to do things and just to have a good time.

Without my friends today I don't know what kind of person that I would be. I know that I would be the opposite of who I am, and I love them for always being there when we need one another.

Starting Off

This is my first post of my blog. You may be asking why this is so bland for the first one, but truthfully there is nothing in mind today. It is 7:40 am in the morning, just beginning the day. There has been no interesting events that I have occured yet. I am currently waiting for the end of the day where I know that something has affected to discuss about.
