Trimester Two
Yes, trimester two. The horror of trimester two. I have two classes that are challenging in trimester two; English Honors and Biology Honors. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I signed up for those two classes. The English teacher told us that we should expect to work the hardest we have ever worked in any other class… In that class. And Biology is set up in the worst way possible, many, many projects. Wonderful! NOT. I have found that I learn a lot more in classes that are taught through taking and studying notes.
The only class that I am very happy with is Radio. The teacher, as always, is AWESOME. Those of you from school know she is the video teacher as well as TV and Radio. I will be ON the school’s station, which runs 24/7. I am so verrrry excited.
That is about all for now. TTYL

“I Couldn’t Live Like That”
So, if you follow me on Facebook you will know that I had that quote up for a few days. That is because it profoundly affected my outlook on my life. Yes, just that phrase, along with a little bit more of the conversation that I cannot recall quotably. I also said that I could not be boring. I should not be boring.
Boring is exactly the kind of person that I have never wanted to be. Yet, I have been settling for the easy standard of mediocrity. The standard of being boring in my life. That is not good enough, nor will it ever be. When people ask me how I am doing I always respond in the same way. “So, So,” or “Okay”. Never do I say “Pretty Good” This is a small thing, but I know for a fact how being around people who are doing well or are happy can change the entire experience.
Listening to Troy, who I had the pleasure of spending most of the week last week with, amongst many other great folks, helped me see what was wrong with me lately. Ya know, I never thought about how to be more positive, or how to be more friendly, or, God forbid, more exciting. I started to realize that I have been on autopilot for the last 2 years.
I have always told myself that I want to be one of those people who is constantly doing something exciting and new. And, I feel like MonaVie is one of those things. Yes, it is juice, but it is bigger than just juice. The people that I get to hang out with because of this product are amazing!
I wrote this post because of something that Riley said to me after dinner a couple nights ago. He, in essence, said he did not want to be one of those people who went through the same routine every day. He wanted to be someone who was exciting. He just didn’t know how someone could spend their life bored and alone. I know! I’ve been doing it for two years.
That is going to change. Just within the past two days I have seen how much better a day can be when you spend it with a positive outlook. Your outlook on life even improves when you stop hanging around with negative people. I intend to do both of those things. I intend to be the outgoing, adventurous, friendly, happy, and positive person that I was before my life got turned upside down. Which, I am now realizing may not have been as horrendously horrible as I thought it was.
Things will be different. Things will be better. My life shall improve. My life will no longer be blah, but instead vivid. And whe asked how I am I will be “Great!” Thanks to anyone I mentioned in this post. You know who you are.

Back To School
Sooo. School is already starting an I am not in any way excited. Maybe it is because of the lack of preparation by the High School for the incoming freshmen orientation night. The night when we were supposed to get acquainted with the school, half of the students had no idea what was going on, including myself. From what everyone says, I am going to like school! I hope they are right!

Summer of ’69 ’08
Well well nice to see everyone again. It has been a while hasn’t it! The first thing I want to do is thank everyone that donated to the iPhone fund below. Yes, I promise I will only use it towards the iPhone and a case. This Summer has already been a busy one. I have helped to set up a website and an emergency alert system forĀ the cadets in the Charleston Cadet squadron of Civil Air Patrol. This was an interesting job and I am still putting the final touches on the Emergency Alert System.
I am so glad to finally be out of school. Everything is much easier. Of course this is the first Summer that I have had this blog, so it could get interesting…

Sooo… I overuse ChipIn don’t I. I really want to be able to stream live from certain locations. The problem is I am broke. (As I remain most of the time) My cellular provider charges $15 per month for unlimited data plans. WIth this of course I could stream videos live right from my phone. I would really like to check this out! I would be using Kyte simply because Qik does not support the Razr v3xx. Thanks In Advance! Even if you just read to the end of this thanks lol
