a cause to be sentimental

today i finished my last five hours as a hostess (scroll to the bottom to see one of the main reasons i decided to quit. the dress! its horrid. someone has to pay me to wear that, oh wait, they already do.). while i spent time cleaning tables off or putting things away, i realized my time as an adolescent is truly coming to an end. i tried remember what it felt like to play dolls or make believe. I couldn't. I tried remembering what it was like to ride bikes around my neighborhood and pretend that leaves were money to buy from mailbox shops. i couldn't. Because i can not stop time, this is my cause never to forget what being a kid is like.

and because i am a lover for all beautiful things...like the sun...which Oregon saw for the first time in 41 days. I kidd you not, thats what the paper said. And they were quoting the National Weather Service. So i believe them. These are raw versions of some glorious sun.

let me tell you

OK. So I know you all are just fascinated with my life...and so thats why I have a blog of course. To update you, etc. Well, here is my week in review: WEEK 4 til SUMMER
 Nothing really exciting happened until Wednesday: Mutual "Prom" with Laurels and Priests. I didn't care too much for anything but the food. It was delicious! Although we ate with china, and were required to use proper ettiqute...it was still fun. Okay, one more rave about the food. So good. Do i sound a bit like Seriously So Blessed, yet? :) Why do i like how i look here better than when i looked for prom? oh well, its besides the point...even more frustrating, I woke up like 20 mins. before this!
 THURSDAY: First Springfest...as a junior. Pitiful, I know. But...it was more out of force than will and suprisingly, I had so much fun! Julie and I ran the Key Club table amazingly well. We served ice cream and sundaes and even though we probably made $10 tops...it was still fun nonetheless. And, it went smoothly, thanks to us being completely prepared. Now the story of the wet clothes. Yes, you may mistake this for more jumping into the pool...but you're wrong. This was the after-math of a very intense-amusing-hilarious-fun-water fight with two of my favorite & hardest teacher. Ironic how that is. Ms. Lundberg (IB English) and Mr. Daley (IB History). It was awesome. I wish i could describe it...but we got plenty of stares from everyone. I got them pretty dang good with numerous suprise attacks...which required me to utilize the boys bathroom in order to full up my buckets in time for when they would walk past the booth. Today, I truly enjoyed being a high schooler.

 THURSDAY PM: This is the glorious heaven I came home to after work tonight...I LOVE STRAWBERRIES. This means SUMMER.

 And...for the record. The solution to all life's problems is a bowl of Raisin Bran with strawberries. :)

Shake the dust

This movie was shown in my IB English class, and i have fallen in love with it. This is poetry. Definitely Blogging-worthy. As well, as the movie below. I aspire to be like this man, and my cousin McKenzie Smith, the amazing violinist. 

Goodbye '09

If you really want to see what EXCITING things happened in my life in '09....you'll have to go HERE to find out :)

Piano "toe" Prodigy

What can I say? I got a little frustrated practicing the c# minor arpeggio.
Sympathize with me here.
Plus, it was a way to buy time, so i wouldn't focus on my stomach growling too!
Also, notice the spandex, yes, desperate times, calls for desperate measures, when your father doesn't believe in heat.

If you really coulndn't understand--that was called Sonata "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" op. 33 #1
