Getting impatient

Today was my best friends last day working with me. She and I met in Jr. High but never really did anything till High school. And even then, she was the one who called me. But only once a year or so. Then I went to school for choir and we got to be closer friends there, but not a lot. It was only after my parents moved out that we got to be really close. Now you may be asking, Why would the parents move out when isnt it that the kid moves out when he/she reaches 18? Well, after my grandma died in December, my parents decided to move up to my grandparents house up by Idaho City. To take care of my grandpa. My dad loves it up there and my mom enjoys the wildlife. So back to Shanna. She would stay the night with me a lot because it would be scary in a house all alone. She and I started an exercise regimin, which only lasted about 3 weeks, and I got her a job at the daycare that I work at. She was AWESOME! the kids loved her instantly. She was vibrant, energetic(I was) and loved to play. Sometimes she and I would start to dance in the hallway and kids would be laughing at us. Thats what we did. We danced, played, talked and had A LOT of fun. Now shes off to work in Red Fish Lake, Idaho. Im really excited for her. Shes going to be great. But now I just have to wait for my turn. Im waiting for the camp season to start so I can go to McCall. Ill be a couselor there for 5 weeks. Then Im going to move to Salem OR. Every time I think about it I get a little more nervous. Im going to be moving away from EVERYTHING i know. Ive been to Salem but I dont really know what it has to offer. Im getting nervous because I dont know what kind of people Im going to meet there. Or if Ill be able to handle being away from Idaho. I cant wait to get out but I love Idaho. Im thinking that im going to be ok for the first few weeks, then when it really sinks in that Im hundreds of miles away from my family, Ill probably get home sick for a while. But by the time I get over that, it will be thanksgiving break, then a few weeks later, christmas break. Then I will want to get back to my friends in College. uh, wow, that sounds weird. COLLEGE. college. College. woah, cant say it too many times. I feel like an adult. And I dont wanna grow up. I wanna stay young and single forever. I wanna do all sorts of thing before I get married and have kids. One thing I will do is go to Austrailia. Shanna and I are planning to go in 5 years. By then I should be graduated. Shes already saving for it. I didnt think it was a real plan, I really wanted to go and said we should, and She said yeah. LET GO! So she started to save for it. She says she already has 600 dollars for it. Great job. She also plans to pay for most of my portion as well. Knowing that im going to be poor white college trash. Well, I cant wait for my life. Right now its on back order and I want it NOW. I wanna go to college, graduate, go to Austarailia, go to Scottland, go to Europe, Do all sorts of things there and then I can get married. I CANT WAIT!

last class

Today is my last gym class I will be taking. Only because it costs so much to keep up and I wont be getting free classes after this Saturday. (sigh) I have enjoyed every minute of my classes. When i first started, I could do a cartwheel and a handstand. I was fairly flexible and oh yeah, I could also do a front tuck on the trampoline. Now I can alomst do a back handspring unspotted. I can definetly do one with a spot, Ive done back tucks on the tramp and Ive learned how to do a front hand spring. Its sloppy but I can do it. I am in the midst of learning front tucks on the floor and Get this, I can almost do a round-off-back-handspring. sounds inpresive eh. Not really, its just a back handspring after a round off. which is a cart wheel where you land on both feet instead of one at a time. Im sad I wont be getting free classes anymore. But now I can spend my Thurdays dancing. Which i really want to start doing more often, before I leave for college. I want to dance more so I can find a place in Salem and dance there and not feel like a total dweeb. So I look like i know what im doing a little. All I got now is step-step-rock-step. and a few spins. and a swing out! woo! be awed in my presence. Now all i gotta do is ask my favoritest sister-in-law to teach me. since tony works. poo on him. Im done blogging for today. bye

Life questions

Here are some questions to get your mind thinking.

Why is it that a shipment is sent by truck and cargo is sent by boat?

Where does the cork go when you "put a cork in it"?

How much wood CAN a wood chuck chuck?

If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Why do we celebrate high school graduation when they just go back to school for another 4 years?

What if the hokey pokey is what its all about.

How many pickels did peter piper pick.
I will return with more, after these messages...
I hope this invokes some serious thought into your mind. I know I question my very own existance because of these ideas. Have a nice day!

college

This year I am going to Corban college in Salem OR. Im really excited and am starting to get nervous. For many reasons. One I will be away from everything I know, two, I have to get SHOTS! turns out when you are homeschooled, you arent required by law to have all your immunizations updated. But then when you go to a college, they like you to be shot. I need about 3 or 4 boosters and updates. AHHH... I dont like shots. Oh well, Im a big girl, right? Then when you go to college you have to have some way of paying for it. Most colleges that my friends went to were not that expencive. But me? no... I had to choose a very expencive college, 25,000 a year expencive. WOW, thats a lot. Thankfully, I am poor white trash and can get quite a few grants. so far I have ABOUT 10,000 in grants and scholorships. now I only owe 15,000 to the bank or what ever loan agency I choose. oy! a word of advice to all you freshmen in high school, SAVE NOW!! College is not that far off. Put 50 dollars of every paycheck youget from now on into a saving account and then that will help a little bit. Well, I am very hungary right now. Going to quiznos! Bye

college

IT COST A LOT OF MONEY!
