Show Choir!

On Tuesday I decided to try out for show choir! I never thought I would try out again, but I guess I really missed it. It was REALLY scary and I was extremely nervous during the singing portion because it was only second hour and my voice wasn't warmed up. Ziegler and Sands were really nice and talkative, so that helped me calm down a little bit. I think I was so nervous because I felt like they would hate me for not trying out last year. I have been a part of show choir every year since seventh grade, minus last year. I am anxious to see how things turn out. My dance audition was after school from five to seven. I really wasn't all that nervous or anything about that part because I can usually pick up a dance pretty quickly. Jacey went with me to try out which was cool. We got done trying out pretty quickly because both of us were in the first few groups. We both thought we had done a pretty good job. I am very excited and super nervous to see how things turn out. I really hope I make it because this is my last chance to take part in show choir and I miss it so much!

After the dance auditions Jacey and I went to check out the girls' soccer game. We only stayed for like five minutes, and then we decided to head back home. When we went out to my car, Jacey noticed that someone had written something on my back window with car paint. We figured out that it was Kyle and Connor, so I called them and yelled at them for doing it. The two of them came back to the parking lot, and I thought they were going to apologize, but then they ended up putting more paint on my car! All of my windows and mirrors were covered with car paint, and I was really mad because I knew I would have to clean all of it off! And, sure enough, when I went home my dad was really mad about the whole situation. This was an eventful night!

I WANT SUMMER!

Initially, school was moving by extremely fast. But now that it's third trimester, it feels like summer will never get here because of how slow the days are going by! I am definitely slacking off in my classes, and I'm for sure not putting forth all of my effort toward school work. All I want to do is head to the pool or lay out or grab a Very Berry Fruitzen cup! I dream of summer. It is my favorite time of the entire year. I love not having to go to school and starting preseason workouts for volleyball every morning! I enjoy heading out to Palo beach with friends, and I like being able to hang out with all of my friends whenever i want!

This summer is going to be one of my more memorable ones for a few reasons. First, my volleyball team is heading to Miami for a week to compete at nationals. Second, the day I get back from Miami my family is leaving for Cancun, Mexico for a week. Third, when I get home from Cancun I am going to Okoboji with my cousins for a week.

I have so many exciting things to look forward to that I can hardly wait for school to be over! I just want to be free! Something kind of sad about this summer, though, is that it is my last summer as a high schooler :( I have to worry about senior pictures, and applying for college, and actually choosing a college very soon! I'm excited to leave home and get away from all of my parents' rules, but I am definitely going to miss all of my friends and family. I know i will cry when the time comes for me to leave, but the tears will be a mix of happiness and sadness. There are so many things for me to look forward to, but I will miss a lot of things about being in high school and living at home.

Nattys!

My favorite sport in the whole entire world is volleyball. I play school ball and club ball, and right now it is club season. My team this year is actually pretty dece and we have won all of our tournaments except for two. A couple of weeks ago we went to regionals, which is located in Des Moines every year. It is a tournament that lasts for the whole weekend. Hundreds of teams from all around Iowa come to compete at regionals to get a bid to nationals. This year my team played at Drake both Saturday and Sunday. We were in the qualifier's bracket, which means that if we get first, second, or third place we get an automatic bid to nationals. Everyone advances to the second day, but on Sunday it goes to double elimination. My team played like crap on Saturday, but on Sunday we stepped our game up big time. We ended up getting fourth place, just like last year. Only one place from going to nationals! But thankfully Six Pack ended up winning another qualifier, so their regional bid went to us! My whole team is extremely excited about going to nationals. Some of the girls who I play with are seniors, so it is their last chance to go. Nationals is in Miami, Florida this year, and we get to go down there for a whole week! I am looking forward to going so much! It is going to be the highlight of my summer. My teammates are like my sisters, so I know I will have an absolutely amazing time with them. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!
