Okay, quick update.  I just got home from work, and I need to get started on my homework!  Thank God for the rain because I did not have soccer practice tonight!  Maybe I'll get lucky and have it canceled tomorrow night as well!  One can only hope and pray.  Haha...that sounds so bad, but I'm just ready for my break.

Today was a really good day for me!  I don't know why exactly, but it was just enjoyable.  I joked around a lot with people and was just in a relax, carefree mood.  I thought it was going to be a bad day because I overslept and woke up at 8 am!  I missed JROTC today, so I have to wear my uniform tomorrow.  Joy...  Oh, and when are we getting our class rings?!  I've been waiting for awhile now!

Saturday was fun.  I worked, then came home and wrapped Christmas presents.  I love wrapping gifts!  It's so much fun for me!  And, I know what pretty much everyone's getting.  But anyway, after that, Sheila, Rachel and I went to Beef 'O Brady's for dinner.  That was nice to talk and get caught up with everything.  Later, we went to Rachel's to watch the UGA vs. Tech game.  I fell asleep at Halftime and didn't wake up until a few minutes left in the game.  I like Tech and everything, but I was rooting for UGA this time.

Yesterday, I went shopping with my mom for a couple of hours.  She dropped me off at Emmanuel's and we went to see Just Friends.  It was pretty good.  I felt a little awkward about the symbolism we have with the movie, but I'm not getting into that.  I had fun though, as always.  

I need to get going.  I have a lot to do.

Adios

It's been a while since I've updated.  A lot has gone on.  Last weekend I was in Raleigh, NC for a college soccer showcase.  It was alright.  The Air Force Academy was there and watched me play one game, and of course, I played bad in that game.  Oh well...

This Thanksgiving Break is going by really fast.  I was planning on doing so much stuff, and I don't have any time.  Work is really taking up a lot of time.  I need money though, so I can't complain.  I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.  I did; I ate so much food and it was just so good!  Then we went to see Harry Potter.  It was pretty good; I liked it.  I don't think I liked it as much as the other ones though.

It's about 2:30 AM, and I just got home.  I was with Haley and some of her college friends.  Haha, I learned some things.  It was fun.  I can't wait until college now.  It'll be awesome!

I need to go; I have to work tomorrow, and I have a little head ache.  I have a few more soccer pics that I might add later.

Bye.

Well, it was a rough week for me.  I barely got any sleep, and I've been stressed with some stuff.  I'm just happy it's over!  I have so much to do.  I just want Thanksgiving here!  

I won't be at school Friday because I have soccer next weekend in NC for the big college showcase tournament.  Hundreds of scouts will be there!  I have to do well!  I still need to E-mail the Air Force Academy coach.  I'm gonna do that as soon as I'm done with this.

Speaking of soccer, I have some pic's....I thought I'd post since it's pretty much my whole life (besides school and work).

Me doing a slide tackle (Favorite thing besides heading)!

Bringing the ball down.

About to beat that girl. Haha

Heading the ball.

About to head the ball (again)!

Scrimmaging Berry College

Dribbling.

YAY....I scored!  

So, Haley's in town.  I've missed her so much!  It's weird how we use to fight like crazy and now we're just so nice to each other.  We never get to see each other anymore!  She loves college though.  I really can't wait!  I want to get out of HS so bad!

Oh, and my dad is finally home after a long week (and a few days) in Colorado.  He was elk hunting and spending some time in the woods with his friends.  I actually have missed him too.  LoL, that sounds bad but we just get on each other's nerves sometimes; we're just alike.

I need to get going though; I have homework to do, and I can't get behind...I'm already missing a day!

*Thought of the Day*:  "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal."

"So Peter . . .walked on the water toward Jesus.  But when he looked around at the high waves, he was terrified and began to sink."
                       -Matthew 14:29-30

When times are troubled or life seems to be changing too fast, keep your inner eyes of faith and hope on those things that you know to be lasting and sure.  Don't limit your gaze to what you know or who you know, but focus on Whom you know.  God alone-and a relationship with Him that is eternal-is the Supreme Goal.  He never changes, and He cannot be removed from His place as the King of Glory.

*Yawn* It's like 1 AM and I just got back from dropping Tayo home.  I'm really tired; I don't even know why I'm updating.  Oh well.  Edward, Tayo, and Sheila came over to my house to work on Physics.  They came over at like 7 pm and we finished not too long ago.  It really sucks.  I still have stuff to do...I have to study for a LA Test and take a shower.  I have other stuff but it's not necessarily due tomorrow, so I'm gonna procrastinate about that also.  School sucks right now.  I'm definitely looking forward to Thanksgiving!  There's like 2 weeks and two days!  Thank God.  I need a break.

So, this weekend I have been extremely busy.  Last week, I felt so sick (and I still don't feel that great).  I missed soccer all last week and we had two games this past weekend.  I was struggling; I had like no energy and taking that long of a break kills you.  

Friday night, I spent the night at my aunt/uncle's house.  Both my parents are out of town, and I haven't seen them in a while, so I decided to visit.  My cousin, Sarah, took us out to dinner.  We ate at the place where she's thinking about having the rehearsal dinner for her upcoming wedding.  Yay...it's exciting!  Went to their house, passed out, and had to wake up really early Saturday for the SAT's.  I took them at Shiloh.  I dunno; I think I did okay.  I'm not expecting a high score, so I'm already planning to take it again.  It was just SO long.  It was torture.

Right after that, I went to my soccer game at 4.  We won, then had to go over to Sheila's to work on some homework.  Of course, we didn't get like anything done.  So we had to finish everything tonight at my house.  We finally finished!!  Thank God (though I still don't really know what I'm doing!)  I'm definitely gonna fail the test Wednesday!  Great....... I can just add another failing test to my physics grade.  It's almost over!

I went to church this morning.  It was good; learned about the importance of prayer and stuff about how to pray.  I dunno; kinda confusing.  I liked it though...made me thinking about how I pray.

We played GSA today and won.  I saw Sam, Kristin, and their parents.  I miss them.  They're so nice and funny.  I miss everyone from that team.  They all have a special place in my life.  We were together all the time; we traveled so much and always roomed together.  We were so close.  Though I'm not there anymore, I still have so many memories!

I really need to go!  Ugh...I have so much to do.  I just want this week over with!

Have a good week!

I had a really fun weekend.  I went to a party Friday night and last night.  Yep...2 nights in a row; that's shocking for me!  Haha...I'm kinda proud of myself.  I'm actually feeling like a teenager right now.  That's sad.

I just got home from a soccer thing.  We went to dinner and watched one of our games that was video taped.  I scored and they showed it like 2 times.  Pretty cool.

I'm not use to this time change yet.  I'm really tired and it's only 8:30 pm (not that 9:30 is much later, but still).

I'm not gonna go anything for Halloween.  This is the first time ever since I went trick-or-treating for the first time.  I'm gonna be the loser that I am and work on a paper for LA.  I might hand out some candy too.  Wow...I'm getting old.  

OH, and I almost got attacked tonight at the gas station.  Well, not really, but I was so scared!  I was getting out of the car, and I see this car pull up on the other side and stop (but not at the tank-next to the building thing).  It was a car full of black guys.  I knew the driver got out but I couldn't see him.  I was like standing behind the pump, waiting.  I knew he was gonna come around the corner.  He did and started talking to me and stuff.  I was so scared!  He wanted my number, but I didn't give it to him.  I was trying to be real nice about it though because I didn't want to make him mad...he had like 3 other guys in the car.  He wasn't mean or anything.  It was just a weird situation.  I wanted to leave so bad.  But yeah, I survived.

I need to go; I have to start my Crucible paper.  Yay.  

Happy Halloween!
