Song of the Day -- Down the Road

I'm starting to think this relationship is gonna start to grow.. And I'm kind of scared. I don't know if this relationship with "Jason" is going too fast, or it is too soon after my last relationship. I don't want to jump into anything, so I'm gonna take it slow. I think he doesn't mind. Anyways, this is his favorite song. I don't generally like country, but it's starting to grow on me. Enjoy [<3]

Chicago Trip 2009 -- Failure or Success?

The trip to Chicago this year was definitely not as fun as last year. One bad thing seemed to happen right after another. Overall it wasn't that bad, but my expectations were a lot higher, so I set myself up for some disappointment.

First of all, the bus trip was not a good time. Of course I was expecting a lot of people to be sleeping on the way there because we left so early, but I was hoping it would liven up a little. I knew a lot of the people on the trip, so it wasn't awkward or anything, it just wasn't fun. Hardly anyone talked, and there was nothing to do. And to top it all off, I felt bus sick the last hour of the trip. The way home was a lot better. Not as many people slept, and we talked a lot more. I did feel a little sick again, but I wasn't too worried about it because we were having more fun. We watched 3 movies all together: Ferris Buller's Day Off, The Princess Bride, and The Simpsons Movie. Are you kidding me?! Why couldn't we save the best for last, because everyone Ferris Buller's Day Off dominates all of those movies.

Another thing that made Jenny and I mad was that we didn't stop at the lake. Last year we arrived a little early, so we got out and stretched our legs for a bit and looked at downtown from the lake. It was really refreshing, and cool to experience. Although our teacher didn't gurantee that we would stop there, we were kind of hoping that we would get to.

The next thing is little, and probably doesn't seem like a big deal. At the Art Institute we took an hour tour with a chaperone and a tour guide. Jenny and I were hoping to be in Kollasch, our teacher's, group. We haven't seen him in a while or talked to him, so we were hoping to spend a little time with him. Of course, we weren't in his group. He stuck us in this random group of kids that we never hung out with, and a chaperone that we didn't even know. That made us a little grumpy.

I think that was everything that went wrong. I can't really remember. Overall it was a good trip, and it was definitely worth missing a day of school. I'd recommend it to anyone, but don't get your hopes up unless you're ready for the possibility that they might be let down. Man I sound like a complainer and a party pooper, but we were both really looking forward to this trip. Oh well! I'm over it. It was a good time. :) [<3]

Song of the Day 2 -- If U Seek Amy

So this song has hit the radio recently. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's pretty good and creative, but already its starting to get old. Britney has been coming up with some catchy and unique songs, so right on. I'm pullin for ya.

Song of the Day -- Starstruck

What a good song. Sophie just introduced me to this song, and it's pretty cool. It seems like a typical Lady Gaga song.. Pretty unique. All of her songs are pretty good, but this one has been especially stuck in my head for the past couple days.

Relationships At Their Best

So right now, things are finally starting to look up. I've mostly moved on from Elliott, and realized that our relationship wasn't good for either of us. We don't talk anymore, and I have a feeling we won't ever will. Maybe it's for the best. I have also met someone else, who I'm not gonna say the name of just yet. We'll call him Jason. No not Jason Shupp. Alright so I've know Jason since 6th grade, when he came to Harding Middle School from Linn Mar. We were distant friends throughout middle school, and then he went to Linn Mar for high school. After that we didn't really talk. Now I work at the Collins Road HyVee, and he recently got a job there. Long story short, we started talking and hanging out again.

We aren't official or anything, the relationship is just in it's early stages. I think early stages of a relationship are some of the best times. You have the thrill of meeting someone new, and learning all about them. You also start to develop little middle school crushes, and are shy every time you are expected to say something. I know I'm that way at least. I'm about the shyest person you will ever meet when it comes to guys. It's like a genetic thing I seriously can't help it! As much as I want to be outgoing and overcome my shyness, I just can't help but be cautious about what I say and do when I'm first meeting a guy. Even if I don't even like them as more than a friend!

Anyways, I love relatioships. I usually always want to be in one. I think I just like knowing that I'm wanted and loved, or something like that. I'm hoping this relationship goes somewhere, but then again I'm afraid. I'm hoping it's not happening to quickly, and I'm gonna make sure that I'm gonna take it slow if something does happen. Well that's all for now I think! [<3]

Song of the Day -- Kiss Me Through The Phone

My friends just introduced me to this song, and I love ittt! I had no idea that it was Soulja Boy.. and to be honest I'm kinda shocked. But the thing I don't know is.. Is that him singing in the chorus or is that someone else?

Anyways, this song is pretty cool and pretty unique as well. Normally I find Soulja Boy songs to be kind of annoying, and loud. I like a lot of them, but they seemed a little childish compared to some other young artists. Now that he's becoming famous, I think he's changing his style a bit to fit in with other artists.

Welcome to Chi Town

On April 10th, I'm taking a class trip to Chicago! Last year, my spanish teacher, Kollasch, took our junior class and other classes to Chicago to the Art Museum. We were studying Spanish artists such as El Greco, Vasquez and others. After the museum we went to a Spanish tapas restaurant Cafe Iberico and ate a bunchhh of food, and it was really good. It was a lot of fun, and I was really wishing we could go there again.

This year, as seniors, my friend Jenny and I get to go again with the junior class as chaperones! It's kind of funny to think that seniors will be chaperones of people only a year younger than them, but I don't care. I think we will be doing the same things as the juniors, and we're just coming along for the ride. We still have to pay for everything, but it is all worth it. Chicago is a really cool place, and I want to go there any time that I am provided the oppourtunity.

At first last year, the only reason I signed up for the trip was because we got to miss a day of school on friday, which meant 3 day weekend!! This time, I'm actually really excited to go. To convince other people to sign up, Jenny and I went in to Kollasch's classes and talked to the juniors about the trip, and how it was totally worth it. We told them all about how the museum was not boring at all, because you get to wander around on your own a lot, and take pictures. Then the food is really good, even though it sounds really weird and disgusting. I think we got a couple new recruiters on board.

Jenny's boyfriend, Brenden, is a junior and he is going on the trip. I kinda wish I had a junior boyfriend going on the trip too, because I don't wanna bug Brenden and Jenny the whole time. Oh well, I know other people going on the trip. OH! and I almost forgot.. There's this huge shiny silver bean in the middle of a park in chicago, and we got to visit that too because we were a little early. I guess it's like 3 stories high, and you can see yourself in it. It was a lot of fun to take pictures of yourself in it too. It was really super nice that day, so I got to wear a sundress. I hope this year is the same, or at least it isn't crappy out.

Ahhh I'm so excitedd!!!!! [<3]
