IS THIS YEAR ALMOST OVER?! I really do not mean to seem all "emo" but it is driving me insane. Everything is stressful. I am drifting off and the feeling of senioritis is taking over me and I have not even taken the SAT yet!!! Craziness. Well the past few weeks have been pretty cool. I have driven a lot and with driving, I have never realized how much freedom I have. It is quite awesome. I am currently working on a piece for the "In Our Minds" contest. It's hard to just come up with one though. The weekend was pretty fun. I know it is Tuesday, but I hate weekdays so I am going to talk about the weekend. Friday night Max and I went to pick up Caitlin and she hung out with us and we watched "Saw" with Brad. That movie is aesoome, I do not think iI could ever get tired of it. Saturday I worked and then went to Oakwood's Turnabout. That was interesting, seeing friends that I have not seen since the 8th grade. I experienced an Oakwood party but with the power of X, I of course made good decisions. Besides, Brad and I took a trip to Waffle House and met some cool people while other people were at the party. Now, here I am. Steve visited me tonight and I got to drive him somewhere. He quotes, "That was interesting." Heheh.. I love that guy. I miss him already. Musical practice sucks because well, THE MUSICAL SUCKS.. me being an ugly chorus member, I am in the first part of the first act and the last part of the last act, that is a lot isn't it? I can't wait for it to be over. The two things I am looking forward to are France and L.I.F.E.Retreat. That will keep me going .. knowing that I have great things like that. Pl us.. Steve!!! Well I am going to go work on my prayer service and watch Gilmore GIrls...

Au Revior!!!

I have a chemistry test tomorrow. i could be studying for that. I got into Creative Writing, which I am pretty excited about. Yesterday I had my F.L.I.G.H.T. interview. I was not nervous going into it, but afterwards I felt that I could have said A LOT more. So now here I am, waiting in anticipation, biting my  nails and all gggrrrrrrr... So the weekend- Steve and I went to Deweys on Friday and saw my brothers math teacher.. THen... we played pool (VERY fun.. we changed the rules a little ;)) .. Saturday Je travailler ( I worked all day) and then Steve and I went bowling with DLM employees. My team was very fun! Kevin brought Caroline and I brought Steve. (kinda breakin the rules cuz they dont work at DLM!)... So Each night I worked on my paper a little and i ended up getting like 10 hrs of sleeP THE WHOLE WEEKEND.. and now Im sorta sick!!!! I guess that's what I get. I stayed up til like 2 am something on Sunday night. THis whole week is really stressful.. I feel I am getting out of shape so I've been goin to excercise every night.. I need my grades to stay how they are so I'm gonna go study or someth ing.. ONce again... Junior Year SUCKS.. It should go to HHEEEELLLLLLLL!! I hope you all are having a better week

Today will be fun.. I am visiting Xavier. Last night I worked all night and talked with some grade school friends that I work with about grade school.. reminising is always good ( I know i spelled that wrong!!). I missed out on the He Is Legend show @ GG which I REALLY wanted to go to!!!!! Grrrrr.r.r.r... Max went though. He hung out with all of MY friends. Another Grrrrr... Last night I drove Nick T's car home from work! It was really cool seeing as I haven't driven in a month! But he said I was a good driver. Well that was just some random stuff.. so here is my finished poem. Enjoy, email me at ARockyRacoon17@aol.com with feedback:

Unnoticed No More

Why won’t they talk to her? When will she be heard?

            She is so alone in the world and without love

            Why can’t they see her?

            Can she be invisible? This embarrassment is so absurd

            Everyone passes her by as she cries

            She pours her love to no one

No one cares

            Oh, her longing to be one of the flies     

            What does she want? Where is the love?

            So many questions, so little answers

            Life is nothing, life is so dull

            She is below and they are above

            She is quite the tenacious one

            But never thrives in anything

            The world is spinning by her

            Her world is soon to be done

            She closes her eyes and tries to think

            Does she remember a time when she had a friend?

            She goes unnoticed

            She takes that one last drink

            It is hard to gulp all at one time

            It is hard to do in the first place

            She rethinks her life and if there is anything left to live for

            The sad thing is that this is her idea of a good time

            If people just cared for her

            If people just stood up for her  

            If she had just one friend to live for

            Oh, that would be just the cure

            So look at her once more

            Look at what you’re missing

            She is a beautiful person inside

            For her body is broken, her eyes are sore

            Don’t just sit there

            Run to her and cry to her

            For soon it will be too late

            Give her the care

            Her life is flashing before her own eyes

            She just wanted some love, she just wanted you

            Don’t leave her like this

            Don’t leave her drowing in her own cries

            The pain will be gone soon, no more bore

            One last sigh, one last thought

            She’ll be with God now

            And she will go unnoticed no more

 So i guess you want to hear about my week. If you don't, sorry! I had a huge American Studies test in which I am still worried about getting back (it might bring down my chances to getting into AP next year!). My alien paper was do, and it was the week of APPLICATIONS.. dun dun dunnn... I wrote my FLIGHT application, L.I.F.E( I HAVE YET TO FINISH!), and Print Media. I am working on my Creative Writing one.. I am going to write the poem on here so you all can read it.. please tell me what you think and if you think i should submit it! Friday night i volunteered at the Gathering Grounds. It was so fun!! I met some cool people and bands. Brad showed up to keep me company so that was fun!! I had fun with Brad and Jon. Jon works alll the time. I feel bad because I NEVER volunteer there. Saturday I worked (i went in an hour late because of my stupid phone breaking in the middle of the nght... phone breaking =  no alarm = no waking up= bad mood all day=you don't want to seeee Alexa in a bad mood all day!) haha sorry that was strange.So I cleaned my room on Saturday and then NIkki, Jason, and Brian picked me up and we saw "Hide and Seek". It was pretty good, kinda like A Secret Window.. but it was fun!! We had a good night.. Me and  Nikki were on a health fest and we bought all kinds of NASTY fat free crap.. hhaha .. good times! we went in her hot tub and went on a UDF/taco Bell drive at 1 am!!! Then.. we watched The Notebook.. ah! So today, here i am. I went to a Baptism and then came home and worked on my poem.. and of course.. TALKED TO STEVE, who I miss so much! I get to see him Friday and I am looking forward to every second spent with him! YAY!! Man he's hot.Tomorrow I'm visiting Xavier University.. Hopefully I get to see Dimitrius!! I am gonna try to visit Steve too.. actually I am going to! :) YAY! WoW .. I sound peppy. So heres my poem.. please put some input in about it!!! IT would be greatly appreciated!

Should I submit this to be in Creative Writing next year or is it too depressing?

Another fun weekend and another time to update..

So Friday.. the last day of swim practice! It was the best! We got out early and everything. Steve picked me up with a beautiful dozen roses. It was the sweetest thing anyone could ever ask for by the sweetest guy anyone could ever ask for. We then went to Marrions and ate, like we allllwayyys do. Then I made him watch "The NotebooK," which by the way is a fantastic movie. I recommend it. Yes I know.. I am NOT A chick-flick fan, but this is a great movie. C'mon Steve you know you liked it! So Saturday was a long day because we had swim sectionals. It was actually really fun, even though I hate sitting around at swim meets all day. Steve came, which was the highlight of my day. I swam 100 Fly and got second place in my  heat and dropped 5 sec. from my time, pretty happy about that. I stayed later to cheer my team on and stuff and left probably only an hour from when the meet ended because I had to get ready for the dance. A few of us left. When I get to the dance, some girl told me that those few of us who left will not be getting a varsity letter. I have pondered about that comment, I have worried about what she said-for like the whole day now and I'm not going to waste my time. There are some parts of this swim team season that have been fun, and some that have been plain miserable. That coach can't just take that away from us because we LEFT early when some people there werent even cheering. It makes me mad.. but I'm not going to care anymore.. it's a waste of time thinking about crap like that that doesn't matter. I hate when people complain on their Xangas so if you're reading this, I'm sorry I just complained BIGTIME.. haha. So on a lighter note- I had a great time at the dance. Emily Hook was the V-Tine Queen of the dance. I was the Junior "attendent" I think it's called. It was a really great feeling, but seriously I did not deserve it. The fresh, soph, jun, and sen. king and queen things all took one big happy picture together. It was good fun! Steve and I had a blast there and we took many pictures... i love pictures!!!!

After the dance, at like 1:00 am.. I went to NIkki's. I met some really cool people that I've never talked to. We had so much fun! We got in the hot tub and ate like pigs, and of course- watched the Mock Trial video from Friday. And the best news--- C.J's Mock Trial team won state!! WOOP! That's some exciting coolness there, eh? Congrats guys!! You guys rock my world. So we all stayed up til liek 4 am and I remember NIkki telling me that there were snakes in her bed the other night, but I don't know if that was a dream? Steve picked me up EARLY and we went to his dad's for eat time. Tres Bien! Crap.. that reminded me I have to study for French Test tomorrow.. ahH! Today I worked all day and Here I AM! I have oober bunches of homework, like studying and studying and papers and papers. I also have to make the decision of whether or not to take print media. It's between band and print media.. any ideas on which i should take if I want to study Journalism?!?! I need your peeps help! I forgot my math book, and I have homework in that class.. a lot. This is where a good weekend turns GAH! Well.. this entry is WAY too long but I probably won't write til Friday or something. I hope you all had a good weekend. I"m going to go think about how much I miss Steve now! (yea i know.. already..!) AU REVOIR!

That's right! I'm listening to Frank Sinatra and you should too :) :) :) I LOVE YOU ALL!

I promise to make my entries and site more interesting.... some day.
