Staying Organized

If anyone knows anything about me, it should be 1) that I dance and 2) I need to stay organized. I hate it when anything school related is all messed up. I don't let anyone touch my stuff, and even worse write all over it.
I am always very stressed and I would rather not let the stress be added when I can't find anything for an assignment that is due the next day or when my study guide is all crinkled and I can't focus on the writing. That is why I usually type out all of my study guides and assignments so if my stuff is messed up then I can reprint it out and and it will all be good.
When I type out everything for my school work, I also have to have a certain size and a certain font. Every single time it needs to be size nine and Times New Roman font. Then if I need to make a study guide certain things have to be underlined, bolded, or even italicized. There is no in-between with me.

So if you know me personally you should know by now that you should not touch any of my things when it comes to my school work, I take my school work seriously and odds are I will probably take out all my stress on you.

Saying Goodbye to Computer Lit

I don't think its a secret that Computer Lit isn't my favorite class or subject, but i'm happy to say that I learned a lot from this class. I may not always remember everything about this class or perhaps some of the content but I can always look back at my past assignments for memories and a small refresher about writing a business letter, or making up a resume.
Throughout this class I have been exposed to many new things that I would never have thought of I needed until now. Being a sophomore, half way to a junior, i'm going to need all of these skills coming up soon to apply for jobs and even colleges. Even if this class was considered a computer credit, I still learned a lot about life decisions and what I will need to become successful in life.
I'm going to miss a lot of things about this class. Maybe not some of the assignments, but lets be serious, it's a high schooler just taking a class for a credit. But i'm going to miss my classmates i'm taking this class with, Im going to miss the teacher. (until I take another class with her) What I take away from this class is always going to help me in the long run so I want to say thank you to my teacher and goodbye to this class.

My Dance Team

If you can't already tell by at least one of my blog postings is that I love to dance. Dancing is my passion and I won't ever want anything to happen that it would be suddenly taken away from me. Right now in my life my dance team and my fusion dance carroll competition team is the most important thing outside of school.
This year when my dance team went to state, our energy was high as well as our hopes. We danced our hearts out on that gym floor in front of our classmates, parents, and most importantly our coaches. We gave it all we have and we walked off the floor after our performance and all of us were out of breath, coughing and I wouldn't be lying if one of us threw up. Thats how hard we pushed our bodies. After our performances, we had to sit around and wait for awards.
The awards didn't go as well as we thought. Both of our dances had gotten division ones, which is great, but this is the first year our coaches went home without a trophy of any place. Then we looked at our scores and we realized that our kick score was higher then our hip hop. We barely got a division one in our hip hop. This was the second year in a row that the judges didn't like the style we took to compete. Last year they wanted girly and hard hitting hip hop, and this year they wanted clean and boring. The dances that beat us were good, but they lacked personality. They lacked what we had the most of.
Even though we didn't do as well as we wanted to this year, i'm still so proud of my team. We had a long year and our season is yet to come to an end. We spend two hours in the morning together and you never know what the day is going to be like but with our heart, soul, and passion we have for dance, everything will work out. It always does.
