Realization

Has just struck me. I realize I'm now a sixth grader, and that means maturity. How is it possible to have been a younger just a few years ago, in ignorant bliss without a care? Now we have the rescission, muggers, etc. to worry about. And I can't say things that I did as a child that would be considered nasty, (we have some 6th graders at my school to thank for that.

Anyways, I guess this post is to remind us that we should enjoy time as "littler" kids while we can. Geez, I sound like my mother. So all of those "11 going on 16" girls out there, (I'm a partyer too, but still) try to take life slower. And then when you're older, you'll come to realize  I was right. Even if you were just randomly browsing blogs... Thanks for reading, please subscribe!

Overcoming

What do you feel when you see, or hear from someone it seems like ages when you've last been/done something together? The feeling I had when I saw one of my most inspirational pals, was pure happiness. We hugged, talked about what we've done during the summer, etc. I was in a bad mood, so I cried and had her comfort me.

On a another positive note, my Grandma finally had a hip replaced. We often visit her to replenish her spirits. I'm also trying to work for my fathers' company (http://www.crossroadsangel.com/music/) You guys might wanna check it out, it's pretty cool. Unfortunately, anyone under 13 is unable to join. (I'm sorry to all of my friends, but it's the sad, sad truth! )

Before I sign off, I would like to know something. If a color would be a personality, what would they be? The colors are: Pink, blue, light blue, green, red, black.  Please let me know your opinion, it's greatly appreciated!

Duties of an elder sibling.

Sure, siblings are annoying. It's their job!  (and yours too) But then there's those times when you two get to bond. Sure, it might be like, 3.000001% of the time, but you still get to. I decided to ask my sister (cuz I was bored and I didn't have friends available)  and we ended up having fun. Here's a picture:





It's off to the side. Anyways, point of this post is to make sure to include family time in every day. We made hot chocolate. Anyways, for nail polish updates, I need a new color. Any ideas? It would appreciated! And as for update updates, tomorrow is the "Annual" Lakewood yardsale! Kinda cool...... Have a great summer! And bring on the moolah! :)

My brilliant mother

My brilliant mother (as seen above) had an awesome idea about doing different colors of nail polish per each week of summer. I thought well, what about how much it costs? Apparently, that didn't occur.  Not wanting to ruin my Mom's brightness, I went along with it.  On another positive side, we made reservations to go on vacay at the Oregon Coast!

We have some places overlooking the sea. Any suggestions on what I should bring/do there besides swim? If so, please comment below! Thanks guys!

A sad departure

Today was the last day of school! A melancholy day, as it turns out. Not much in the way of sunshine, I might add. I wasn't in the best of moods to begin with. My best friend, Matt, came to school crying because he was my friend's that had left boyfriend and so on. As I was comforting him, or trying to, another guy friend of mine came along and sparked a little fit. So, as you can imagine, I was unhappy as well as Matt. It was a rainy day and wasn't the best for field day. But as we doing a bottle game, (you had to get a cup of water then put it in the water bottle which happened to be on Matt's head) he got entirely soaked! I offered him my coat, though he refused.

At 9:00 we met our new teachers! I have (luckily) had all the teachers I've wanted. I am very lucky. And I have so much to look forward to! Unfortunately, M.O.S.S. costs $160. Fortunately, he said we're able to do a ton of fundraisers. 

We then had a announcement/awards ceremony type of thing. You honor people for certain things they've done.  Such as, choir; track; orchestra; etc. So we had to say goodbye to our friends, the sixth graders. I was very emotional because, well, I had made friends with them! It was an emotional time for me. =(  I literally cried.  Luckily, I have some of their numbers in my yearbook.

After school, I hugged my friend, Colton, as it was because he was crying. As was poor, poor Emily. (Big) We said our adoos. They are 5th graders, such as myself. I'll miss my old friends, but I'll make some new ones. Hopefully. Goodbye school, here I come summer!

An interesting day

My best friend's last day was today.  We cried into each others' arms, and she said she'll try to call my friends and I. On a more upbeat scale, my class went to the Nampa Recreational Center today! Yaay! And, tomorrow is the last day of school. My Grandma is having a checkup tomorrow, and though I've had a rough day, I have supportive friends and family. I'm sorry this is such a short post, I thought, "I'll update my blog" but I guess I'm not feelin' the vibe.  I do apologize. Thanks guys!

Grief is an odd thing.

OK, maybe this isn't the best way to start the beginng of a post- but we've got to face reality at some point.
For me, the grief struck at 6:18. My biological father had gotten in a car wreck. It was like a a spike in sugar. It rose when I was happy, then came down with a sickening thud. I unfortunately had to face this tragic event. When the tow truck arrived, I rushed to my father and cried. He said he hadn't a bruise on him, not one. Then he cracked a joke saying, "Even if it had been worse I would have survived." I glared at him for that. Would you honestly think of it funny after the car crash occurred? Think father, think!

On the more positive side, SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT!!!! List of things I'm going to do:

1. Hang out with friends
   
2. Go to the gym
3. School that darn mile!
4. Be a good friend.
5. Go swimming a lot
6. Impress some guys :)

I hope I can stick with this blog thing for a while. Maybe it could be called "therapy" :P Haha. Just kidding. Thanks for reading guys! Talk to you soon!
