Hi everyone!
Don't you just hate being sick? That feeling of where you aren't hungry, just want to sleep, and do absolutely nothing? Yeah, guess what? I have had that feeling this week.
This week was supposed to be great. On Thursday, I was going to go to St. Louis with our Drama Club to go see a Broadway production of West Side Story in this gorgeous theatre. I have been looking forward to it for a month! And of all the nights to start feeling sick, I choose Wednesday night, the night before the St. Louis trip. I was so mad. I had a temperture, so there was no way I could go the next day.
I cried for the longest time. I was so looking forward to going! All of my friends were going, and we were all going to have a great time. I begged my parents to let me go, but of course they didn't let me go, because I was obviously really sick. I had a high temperture, chills, my face was red, my throat hurt, etc. So, I just had to face it, I wasn't going to St. Louis on Thursday.
I didn't sleep very well at all that night, which surprised me. I was on so many medications for headaches and allergies, I figured I would sleep through the night. That, of course, didnt happen. I was wondering who I had gotten it from. First, I didnt know what I had. I knew there were a lot of kids sick at school. Some with the flu, even some with mono. I knew I felt awful, so who knows? I had also been out of town recently, so I could have gotten it from where I went. I just had way to much on my mind, plus I had a huge migrane. Worst. Night. Ever.
I slept through the day yesterday, and when I wasnt sleeping, I was wondering what my friends were doing. What I should have been doing. I haven't gotten sick in five years. Why did I have to get sick then? My temperture jumped around that whole day, so I knew I wouldn't be going to school today either. I don't really care. It gives me a four day weekend, I guess you could say. Yay me. Not really.
When I woke up this morning, my throat hurt really bad and it was really red. My dad took me to the doctor and it was decided that I had a throat infection and that I would be put on medicine for 10 days. So, I have nothing to do. So, I am spending my day doing homework. Yeah, a break from school is nice, but having a throat infection definitely is not.
It is flu season, so everyone needs to stay healthy and wash their hands all the time and use hand sanitizers too. I don't do that as much as I should and I regret it now. Hopefully by next week, I will be back to normal and feel great.
Stay healthy!
Love,
Me <3

Valentines Day
Hey everybody!
How was your Valentines Day? Mine was pretty good. I have a boyfriend of over a year, so of course he was my "valentine." Did you have one?
My boyfriend got me a bunch of candy and had flowers sent to my house, which I noticed whenever I got home from school that day. I got him a bunch of gift cards and his favorite candy. I had a great day, but all day I had a thought running through my head, was all of this really needed?
Obviously, Valentines Day has been around for a really long time now. it is the day that you gt to show the person you love how much you really do love them. But. do you really have to do that by giving them flowers, which will eventually die, and candy, which will eventually be eaten? These things don't last, so is this just sending your loved one the wrong message?
Do we really need a day devoted to the people we love?I mean seriously, if you love a person enough, every day should be exactly like Valentines Day, right? If you love someone enough as you say you do on this one special day that comes around every year, why don't you just let them know that every day of the year, and not just on one of them? I just don't get it.
Surveys now say that chocolate is most sold on Valentine's Day. It is also a day when the most greeting cards seem to be bought and sent out to your loved ones. Is this a coincidence? I think people make Valentines Day out to be bigger than it really is. I think it is pretty much just a greeting card holiday. The big chain stores just use it for business and for profit.
Is it really a very important holiday? I mean, compared to holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, what really is Valentines Day? All it does is give people the courage to actually confess their true feelings to someone, and makes the singles feel lost and lonely. Really, the ratio seems to be half and half when it comes to singles and people that are currently in relationships. Single people see all of the happy couples, being all happy and "hug hug kiss kiss" with each other, and how is that supposed to make them feel. Good for nothing? Depressed? Even maybe suicidal? Who knows?
Whether your day was being happy with the person you love, or being single and just having a great time with your friends, I hope your day was as good as mine was. I am very lucky to have my boyfriend. But, I also love my friends. I spent my time equally, and the day turned out great for me! Whatever holiday you were celebrating, whether it was Valentines Day or it was Single Awareness Day (haha), I hope you had a lot of fun and it was amazing!
Stay tune for next week's blog post. Have an amazing week!
Love, Me <3

Exciting Week!
Hola Everyone!
I truly hope every ones week has been as amazing as mine has been. So many things have happened this week that I will never forget about for the rest of my life. Yes, my week has really been that great!
Relating to me being an only child, I knew my parents we going to get me a car. They told me they would do that for me. We have been looking for cars since about December, looking for the perfect car for my first car for my sixteenth birthday that us coming up in May. We had looked all over the Internet. We probably went to about ten dealers around the area looking for that special car for me.
One day after school, I saw my parents drive up in a car that I wasn't used to seeing. It came to my realization that it was my car! I started freaking out. I loved it! It was my own car! My parents brought it home to show it to me. They could tell that I was in love with it, so they said they would go get it for me! I was and still am pumped about it.
It is a 2005 Infinity G35x. I love it to pieces. It is grey or silver, you can't really tell. It was leather interior and everything! I am so happy that I got such a nice car for my first car. It shows me how luck I really am. Many kids never get cars, or anything like I do. I am so thankful for all of the things that I have and all of the opportunities that I have had in my life. May people take these things for granted, and I am not going to lie, I use to also. After getting such a nice car, I am not like that anymore. I am very lucky for my life and the way I get to live it. Is my life perfect? Absolutely not. Nobodies is. We all just need to be more thankful for the stuff that we do have. There are people out there that are homeless, hungry, and poor. Things can always be worse, so live life to the fullest.
I have always dreamed of what my first car would be. What color was it going to be? What type was it gong to be? What bran is it going to be? Will I pick it out? Or will it be a surprise? I would have never ever imagined I would have this nice of a car. I sure would I don't wreck it or get any damage with it! That would stink. It is way to pretty fo that. Now.. I need to come up with a name. Any suggestions?
Love,
Me <3

Cheer Competitions
Hey Everybody!
I hope everybody's week has been better than mine has been. I hate to sound depressing, but my weekend has ruined my whole entire week, pretty much. This weekend, I went to my cheer team's competition in Mahomet, Illinois. It was the Illinois High School Association's Cheerleading Sectional. If you placed 1st through 5th in your division, you advanced to the state competition. We had 18 people in our division. Before I go into detail, I had better inform you what exactly goes on at a cheer competition.
Okay, you probably don't know this, but teams get ready for competitions like this months in advance. You basically have to come up with a competition team, and then make up a rountine, consistingof jumps, tumbling, and mounts. You have to make sure it has difficulty, but everything you do has to be perfect. On competition day, you perform this routine in front of a panel of judges, who each judge you on a specific thing. The higher the score, the better.
Our cheerleaders have already competed in one competition, ICCA State, and placed for state, which is one week from now. We all knew that our cheerleaders were going to make it to state for this competition, no problem. When they performed in front of the judges at IHSA this last Saturday, their rountine went okay. Some mounts didn't stink, so tumbling didn't stick, and it wasn't completely syncronized. Overall, the routine wasn't great, but not really bad. They performed 4th, so they had to watch all of the rest of the team's perform until we got the results.
Finally, results came. When they announced the top five teams that were going to be advancing to state the following weekend in a two day competition, we were shocked. Our name wasn't called. Nobody nkew what went wrong. We all figured we must have gotten either 6th or 7th, or at the very least, 8th place. We all were bummed out, and it only got worse. We then found out that we had gotten 12th place.
We all knew that we didin't deserve that at all. What got us that is that we were towards the front of the line up. You never want to be one ofthe first teams to go one the mat. You always want to be fresh in the judges eyes, and obviously if you weren't the last teams to go, they wont remember you as well. In fact, the team that went dead last won our division. That shows you how important it is to be towards the end of the lineup.
The whole compeititon wasn't bad though. Two people on our squad got scholarships for college cheerleading! There were scouts there from different collges and the gave a scholarship to them if they would like to use it at their college.
All of them know what they need to change to become better for our next competiton, which is next weekend. I know they will all do a great job. Good luck to them next week!
I will blog again next week. Bye!
Sincerely,
Me <3
