Memory Check-up

I have been in choir for four years and I have always loved it. This year things changed a lot, and I mean a LOT. I got a new teacher, who I can't say I'm a big fan of. She doesn't seem to like me very much either. We aren't buddies, that's one thing for sure. I can't blame her really, but I really just don't like choir anymore. It's just not fun for me anymore, so I'm not going to continue with choir throughout high school. This will be my last year. Now here's where it gets funny: Yesterday we had a choir concert scheduled for 7:00 pm. The eighth graders were supposed to be on the stage at 6:15. I remembered, of course..but then I forgot. So I'm on Facebook, just having a good ol' time, you know, enjoying myself. I read a status that says something about the choir concert. "Oh yeah, that's tonight. 6:15," I think to myself. "Mom, I just remembered I have a choir concert tonight."
"Oh yeah..what time?"
I look at the clock and what does it say? 6:20. Uhh...FIVE MINUTES AGO!!!
I'll have you know I did go to the concert, I was a little late, and I got a stern look, but I did go.

A Good Friend Of Mine..

There's this amazing girl who just started going to my school this year. Her name? It's Claire. Sometimes she spells it with a K, and sometimes with a Q. She is one of the coolest, nicest, most thoughtful and kind-hearted people I have ever met in my life. Over the past few months, we have grown fairly close, and she is now one of my best friends. A week or two ago, she told me her mom had a job interview in Pennsylvania. She got the job. Claire will be moving in two weeks. When she told me this, I almost cried. Okay, I cried. I am going to miss her sooooo much, and I know everybody else will too. She is so easy to like, and people love to be around her. She's just so bright and sunshiney. Claire is a total fashion fiend, and she's really good with makeup too. It's so fun to go to her house and get a makeover. She's a wonderful listener, and really tries to relate and help her friends. Claire will be missed a lot, but I know that she will instantly make new friends just like she did here.

Go ahead and visit her blog, I know you'll just adore her!

I Love My Sister

She's so adorable(:

Those are my thoughts for the evening.

Kaylee

Please pray for my dear friend, Kaylee. I would type all about what is going on, but her personal life isn't mine to post on the internet. Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Too Much.

Yesterday I didn't get the opportunity to blog. I'm so sorry! I really wanted to, because I had the best idea. I asked my mom if I could go to my friend Alex's house on Tuesday, and we had to work it out so that I came home before my brother went to bed. You see, Ben, my brother, is 11 but he is also deaf. He cannot stay home alone while he is sleeping because if there is a fire, he cannot hear the fire alarm. That's when the wonderful idea struck me. What if there was something that he could strap to his wrist when he was sleeping, something that was connected to the rest of the fire alarms, and vibrated when one of them went off. This could be used whenever he slept, not only when he's home alone. When you think about it, if there's a fire, you don't know what's going to happen. Would my mom or I really be able to wake him up even if we were home? It's the perfect idea. I'm going to invent it.

Now another thing on my mind:
In the last week or two, my class has been doing all sorts of career research for high school. It stresses me out to no end. I've thought over and over again about what I want to do. I decided last year that I wanted to be a nurse, and that was that. Now, they have me making second guesses, thinking every little thing through and it's really hard! I'm not sure what I want to do, but I have thought about it a lot.

I would love being a nurse, I think. You see, I love helping out people, and science and medical stuff fascinate me. The problem is, I do have other options. Things that I have thought out too, and they also seem like good career choices.

I had to take a career test, and it gave me 100 ideas for good career choices, and I saw a few that really stuck out to me. Interior Designer. Architectural Color Designer. Make-up Artist. Don't worry, I'm not going to be a make-up artist. I just thought it sounded cool, but--no way. These things both sound really cool, but the thing is, I'm not sure if I would do very well in this. These kind of jobs go up and down with the economy, people aren't going to go and remodel their home when they aren't sure if they'll even be able to afford their house next month. Still stuck.

Here's where things get interesting.

Last night I went to a youth group I've never gone to before. I was absolutely blown away. That sermon did things for me, and I'm not sure if anybody else could understand how I was feeling last night. The guy preaching was goofy, but he also really opened my eyes. He was telling the story of how he got on the road he's on, and how he became a Christian. It was seriously miraculous, the way it happened. I'm not going to go into detail, but he helped so many people and the whole time I'm just thinking to my self..Man, I really want in on this.

I would love going into the Ministry full time. That could just be the best thing in the world. I would love to change lives the way this guy did, I would love to speak in front of people with the same excitement for God, I would love to do exactly what he does every day.

I don't know what I'm going to do with my life, but I do have some ideas.

Random Writings(:

I have figured out why I enjoy my blogging hobby so much (Did I spell hobby right?). The internet is the only real place I can be as random and crazy as I want and spill out my thoughts without being judged. I don't know who reads my blog, or who really cares, but I really enjoy it. I love it! The person that got me into blogging though, I have to give her credit. She is one of the most amazing writers in the whole wide world, and I am seriously jealous. If you for some reason don't believe me, or you would like to find out yourself, just click here and it'll take you right to her wonderful blog.
I absolutely love blogging, and I used to have a different one, but it eventually just became a pain to keep up with it, so I started a new one. A simpler and less confusing one. However, I would love to upload pictures, but I can't from school. There will be some up eventually, I pinky promise. I mean that, if I could be face to face with you our pinkies would be joined together, but unfortunately I cannot see your beautiful face right now, or your beautiful fingers. Shameful, I know.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

I'm very sorry I haven't updated in a while, I really am.
I'm currently in the computer lab at my school, and we have free time. Woohoo! I don't know what I would do without the computer lab. My computer at home is incredibly slow and I can never do anything with it, so this lab saves my life. Here lately, things have been wonderful. I miss Sydney, my adorable baby sister, terribly. I'm going to get to see her tommorow though, and I'm so excited. I haven't updated in so long that I don't even know where to begin. So here's to a new beggining, Blogger!
