life
Mother, Noah, Ashton and I went shopping yesterday. At Deseret Industries, "the I of D", I found two pairs of shoes that will serve me well during the Miss PG pageant. (why go to the mall and spend $100 when you could go to DI and get the same thing for $4???) Noah was excited about his Albertson's T shirt he found and I don't think Ashton got anything.. But it was a fun outing and we enjoyed ourselves greatly. :)
Joel, the director of the play, sent me the DVD's of Star Spangled Girl. It's kinda hard to see anything cuz the lights wash us all out and the camera wasn't very good, but it's better than nothing. If anyone would like to watch it, just comment below and i'll let you borrow it.
I'm on an exercise kick. I go after school to the gym and run for 20 minutes. I try to get a mile in 8:00-8:30 but so far that's only happened the first time when we had to do it for our PE fitness test. Which was better then than never. Then I go and do the step machine or the bike and watch whatever's on.
My room feels like a totally new place with my new carpet. :D My parents went and bought some new and my room feels so nice now. Now the only thing is to see if i can keep it clean enough to be able to see the new carpet. x)
Haha! look i'm famous!
here (click on gallery then seniors :) there are three pics of me on there two at the beginning and the last one x) and if you wait long enough on the home page my picture will come up also yay!
here
and here (i'm in the corner in the 'Miss PG prepares girls for life' article and i'm on the far right :D)
hehe :D
My mom bought me a journal the other day, so I don't know how often i'll be posting on here anymore.. i'll try to keep it updated for y'all, but i'm not sure anyone reads it anyway, but i enjoy having it so that's why i do it. thanks!

lookin up
i had a major attitude adjustment yesterday.
and thank heaven.
i don't like being mad and negative 24/7. and i feel bad for people who are.
it's all about gratitude.
think about what you are grateful for, pray it all up, and your burden will be lifted.

thinkin
i’m pretty sure my future husband will resemble Henry Cavill. I am strangely attracted to the tall, dark haired (but light haired is also very cute), and handsome and innocent look. this is henry a few years ago when he did The Count of Monte Cristo: *sigh*. he did a great job in that one but then now he’s in that gross Tudors show.. so i don’t like him for who he is but he is still one of the most beautiful men on the planet to be specific. :) (he looks a lot better with a smile on his face haha)
haha . i’m a silly person.
well anywhays
man. the kind of guy i want for my future companion though is going to be just like this young man in my ward. he is such an inspiration to me. He went through some hard times with his testimony for a year or two when he was just going through the motions. but just recently he has totally turned around and you can totally tell with his sincere, genuine and humble testimony that he has found out for himself the truthfulness of the gospel. He is constantly bearing that testimony in one way or another and he has truly taught me a ton. He has helped strengthen my feeble testimony and he is one i can really look up to. I’m truly grateful for him.
foto foto!
so here’s some pictures!
the two smaller science fair boards on the sides are jens’ from last year and this year. I made it to regional science fair with my “Detection of Genetically Modified Foods” project which will be at BYU at the end of this month. These were taken right after i won at district. :)
this is me firing up the crème brûlée after a rehearsal for Star Spangled Girl. it was quite a fun experience x) you can tell i was still sick from the redness under my nose x)
this is Joel Osbourne, my awesome director for Star Spangled Girl. We all had a great time.
Here’s (part of) my awesome support group! my beautiful mom and amazing grandma Oertle.

(almost)
well i'm getting new carpet.
we took out my old baby blue carpet out of my room and replaced it with the carpet our friends gave us when they replaced theirs. but after it was put down, my parents decided they don't like it. haha. i couldn't care less. but i guess they're right. the newish old carpet looks kinda lame. but i'm leavin to college soon anywhays (BYU-Idaho September 12, 2011!!!) so my opinion doesn't really matter.
i (almost) got all my homework made up!
as you know i got very behind while i was doing my Star Spangled Girl play... but the status is now 3 more assignments finished and waiting to be turned in. I'm doin it! (if you haven't figured it out yet-homework is my nemesis. mostly. unless i understand it.. then i kinda like it :)

untitled
i'm going rock climbing today.
on a date.
i have the coolest friends.
school is going better.
i'm pushing myself and doing my homework!
man the world is going crazy you guys.
if you didn't notice already,
i'm a big fan of glenn beck.
i don't know why people just 'pshaw' him.
i'm still on my facebook break.
i'm surviving quite thrivingly.
I hope:
I hope I'm grateful for what I have.
Some teens make huge deals out of nothing.
I hope I can distinguish big deals from nothings.
Some teens take no thought for the future.
I hope everything I do now will get me where I want to go.
Some teens don't look out for others.
I hope my mind is always thinking of the people around me.
Some teens want everything right now.
I hope I can wait.
Some teens don't know God.
I hope He'll be my best friend.

Gracias.
Thank you for coming.
Comments are greatly appreciated.
I got onto my stats, an saw that there were 6 pageviews yesterday. I got all excited, but then I realized I had been looking at my blog all day so it was probably all just me.
I think I realized why I'm not happy. I only think about myself.
I believe it is incumbent upon me to solve this problem of negativity and skepticism in myself.
I will look for and write down simple and uplifing things I observe around me and perhaps i will write them down on here.
One good thing that happened today was that the English 2010 teacher decided to change our mid-term comprehensive part of the test till text Tuesday, and only have us do the written part of the test today. That will give me time to finish act II of othello and study some more. I just finished my image analysis, the written part, and as far as I know it went quite well. :)
I will also note the incredible kindness and concern my friends show to me. My group of friends call ourselves the Gospel Doctrine Class. The boys are the Elder's Quorum, and us girls are the Releif Society. We have a ton of fun:) But especially the releif society are tue ones that have really been super awesome-ly nice:) I am always amazed at the genuine concern that especially Maddison, McCall Thornton and Summer Moss have shown to me. I love them so much. They really seem to care as no on has ever cared about me before outside my family circle. They are so awesome and I'm so grateful for them. I hope to be like them someday.
I'm feeling better already:)
I really do have so many blessings.

mathamatics
i will thank my play.
but I"M DOING THEM!!
after a few kicks in the butt from a loving father and a few helpful tips from a little brother. who's in Pre-cal Honors while i'm only in Pre-cal.
yeah i'm so pro.
x)
morality ATM
I totally feel like a sinner now..
We talked about this concept called the "Morality ATM".
God sent us here with $1,000,000 in each of our ATM's.
But each time we make choose to withdraw some money from it, by doing anything with another person, or even without another person, that stimulates us sexually, that money can never be returned.
When we choose to make withdraws from the bank account, that is "money" that we'll never get back to have with our future spouse.
We waste the feelings God gave us on "some chump" as my seminary teacher put it, when if we had saved them, our first experiences, with our future spouse they would have been that much better.
I feel like a total sinner.
I probably only have like $500,000.
Ok I won't be that hard on myself.
I'm not too bad, but I could have been much better.
I have to say though-my first hand hold and kiss was not with "some chump".
But we still should have been more---is abstinent too strong a word?
We shouldn't have cuddled ant held hands as much as we did..
We took quite a bit out of our accounts I think.. It was both of our first times pretty much for anything.
But the experiences with him did make it easier to cuddle with the next guy-the real chump-that I do regret having had anything to do with.
Well thankfully they're both on their missions now-well one of them is- the other is about to leave. So I didn't do too much damage.
I'll have to do some serious repenting.
That and a few seminary classes before this one have pit lots of things in perspective for me.
He also gave us a wonderful lesson on the temple.
Man I'm so excited:)
It's going to be amazing. I'm so thankful for the gospel. And for second chances, repentance and forgiveness.
too school for cool.
I haven't really been myself lately.
probably cuz my bad grades are getting to me.
plus i haven't been to the temple in a long time.
that really does help. if you go there.
i've just been busy out of my mind.
doing nothing.
but having a lot to do.
I really need to turn my life around!
do something productive.
like do my homework.
and my online classes..
those really are the only things that are causin me stress.
but anyway.
is my new background weird?
it was going to be yellow.. technically it is... under the grandiose picture of me.
but they have this fun new template design and i just went crazy. it was quite fun actually.
until i wanted to show it to my mom.
after i had been working on it for like an hour (the stinking computer kept freezing up.. i almost drowned a kitten-that's a figure of speech-) i was all excited to show it to my mom.
i shouldn't have been.
i yelled upstaris: "mom! come see my hard work i've been working on for the past two hours!"
she comes down all excited to see what homework i had finished. "what have you been working on!?"
i realized my mistake in saying anything.
she was disappointed in me.

Zounds!
so much for the exciting title.
we’re reading othello in my eng 2010 class.
that class will be the death of me.
all my classes will be the death of me.
my Star
Spangled
Girl
play is over, but now i’ve got to do all the make-up homework i’ve let slide for the past two weeks here soon.. the test in math is in two class periods and i haven’t done any of the (~7) homeworks for that unit yet.
my life is gonna boil over.
and times that stress times two for my chemistry class.
i get to stay in advisory (where the naughty children stay during lunch that have bad grades) and have been there for the past two weeks.
i don’t think i’ll get much done for my miss pg pageant..
i need a tutor.
*correction i need a kicker-in-the-butt person that will make sure i do my homework.
i’m a lazy bum.
just sayin.
but i like me.
i’ll think positive from now on.
i got my 5 page paper finished and turned in.
i kinda forgot to make the title over the “Works Cited” but whatever.
i did get a 96 on my analysis of a play. out of ONE HUNDRED.
yeah son.
and i’m on another “Facebook Break”.
that means i de-activated my account
until i can get my life under control again.
because i bet i waste 3-4 hours a day on there. on average.
i’m good at not going on at all on sundays though. keepin the Lords day hol-AY.
current favorite song:
probably Anywhere But Here by SafetySuit.
pretty sure it’s on my “tunes”.
i need a journal.
yes need.
i just finished my old one.
and now i’m resorting to my blog to spill my heart. but it does get to spill faster when i type.
but then people can read it.
if they choose to.
but i’m ok with that.
because i love people.
and i love my people.
that read my blog.
because they are awesome.
*aunt cassitAY*
oh wait
probably
HOT AIR BALLOON
by OWL CITY
is my favorite. yeah. pretty sure.
man i love me.
i really do.
i feel much better now that i’ve spilled my heart.
and turned on hot air balloon on my iTunes.
*sigh*
i’m kinda having a “man famine” in my life right now.
but that’s ok.
cuz men are sissies.
until their home from their missions.
hey that almost rhymed.
kinda.
sorta x)
i’ll be out of mind, and you’ll be out of ideas pretty soon so let’s spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon :)
man i love the gospel you guys.
i think my blog needs a remodel.
unfortunately that doesn’t involve grout or screws or sewing needles.
if it did i’d let aunt cass do it. :)
cuz i know she likes that stuff.
it just involves a mouse and a finger and time.
i’m in the mood for a yellow back ground.
if that’s ok with you.
and i need new pics.
and a new template.
i love blue, but i need new.
i’m a poet and i didn’t even know it.
well i love ya…
