1 down, 2 to go!

Yesterday I tried out for the club volleyball team I was on last year, and I made the younger team. Today I am trying out for the older teams, and I am really nervous!!!!!! One of them is from 10-1 at a different club than last year, and then there's one from 6-9 at the same club as last year. I hope to make it, but there will be a lot of girls trying out, because the club I want to make is pretty well known, and there are some pretty good girls around here.

Only one hour until we leave for the first tryout!!! Eeeeek!!!

Volleyball Tryouts This Weekend!!!!

This weekend I will be trying out for 2 club volleyball teams. And with my knee good as new, I think I will do very well. I am trying out for the team I was on last year, because my birthday is on the cutoff date. Wish me luck this weekend!!!!

They Love My Shirt, They Love My Shirt Not...

Today, in honor of Barack Obama winning the election (WOO HOO!!!!! PARTY! CONFETTI! STREAMERS! YAY!!!!!!) I wore my mom's famous Obama T-Shirt. There a lot of McCain supporters in my classes, so they were avoiding looking at me. The Obama supporters, on the other hand, told me they loved it.


ps: I thought it was so cute when he told his daughters they were getting a puppy right in the middle of his acceptance speech!!!

Fingers Crossed!!!!

OMG!!!!! It's Election Day today, and a bunch of states' polls are already being counted!!!!!! I am really scared!!!!! Today we voted at school and Barack Obama won as president, I won't give the name of the governor (that would disclose the state I live in), and I-985 passed. I went with my mom to vote today, and I got to push the button!!!!!! Yay!! I hope Obama wins. I am crossing my fingers!!!!

Injured: That's a First!

Yesterday at my soccer game I got my first real sports injury. I was at goalie, and I had just saved a ball, and then a girl fell on me and the ball became dislodged. I was on the ground, and then the girl fell on my knee, and another girl shot for a goal. I got up and I couldn't put any weight on my left leg, and I couldn't play the rest of the game! We lost that game 2-0. I put copious amounts of ice on my knee and spent all of last night sitting on the couch watching TV. I have a brace on it now, and it still really hurts. I don't really know what happened to it, but hopefully it will be better by Tuesday so I can start the new P.E unit; Jump Rope and Fitness Testing. I don't want to miss that! I am limping around the house now, and I might have to wear the brace for my presidential speech tomorrow!!!!

Have a Maverick-y Halloween!!!

Yesterday while my friends and I were out trick-or-treating, we came to a house with a "McCain-Palin" sign outside, and when the door opened, the woman inside was wearing several McCain buttons. My friends Hannah decided to counteract that by saying, instead of "Trick or treat" to say "Have a Maverick-y Halloween from a bunch of Obama supporters!" The woman was a little shocked, but then started having a politics discussion with Hannah, mostly about Obama's tax cutting plans. My other friends and I practically had to drag her away from that house!!! Speaking of which, there were several other fun costumes outside, our favorite of which was Joe the Plumber!!!! It was genius!

We got plenty of candy, and the trading afterward was hysterical! AG: "Who wants Laffy Taffy!" Hannah: "ME ME ME!" Hahahaha

Me and My Weird Friends

Today after school there was a softball party! There were root beer floats, but I don't like root beer, so I just had the ice cream. Vanilla.......mmmmmm-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum...... Anyway, afterward we started daring each other to go into the guy's bathroom and we all went in together, and then screamed and ran out. No stalls....EEEWWW!!!! After that Ms. Strong brought in caramel apples and I had 3!! Then we helped Mr. Abero with some boxes of what looked like basketball jerseys. He gave us Jolly Ranchers for that! Then we started to go down to the locker room in a big group, and Hannah, Lilia, Shelby and I all extricated ourselves from the group and started running around the school, trying to stay away from the other group. We ran by the science classrooms about 7 times. They kept on giving us weird looks, and we told them that we were just trying to run off the excess sugar. The other group saw us a few times, and we ran away and slid on the floor in our socks. Now I come to think about it, that probably wasn't the best idea. Who knows what's been on that floor?!?!? Then Hannah, Shelby and I got locked out of the school because we went outside, trying to run away from the other girls. Then we went to say HAPPY HALLOWEEN! to all our teachers, then we left. Hannah and I had several jumping contests, and Nicole brought in DDR.

Whew! I am very sweaty now. Time to go shower!!

Pep Assembly Proposes Pizza Party

Today at our school pep assembly, there was a chicken race. In the magazine drive, if your Homeroom sold enough magazines, you got a robotic chicken, and you raced it in the pep assembly. Whoever's chicken got out of the circle first won! Well, our Homeroom won!!! We get a pizza party! Armen even made a sign that said "GO SARTORIUS CHICKEN!!"

The only question now is......cheese or pepperoni???

The Most Awesomest Dog EVAH!

I just realized now that I have never posted anything about my dog, Buddy. Here is a picture of him.

Buddy likes hiking, running after squirrels, and barking at nothing.

Family Fun!

This weekend, my cousins from out of town, Jake and Josh, came to visit because their mom had some business to take care of over here. Jake had to miss the last two hours of school because they were planning to leave by noon yesterday. They got here while my family and I were at a volleyball game. Jake and Josh were both asleep when we got home. This morning they went to see some sights while I had a soccer game. Then we met at the zoo, and we had a lot of fun there. Now we are at home watching football and playing computer and Wii. They are leaving tomorrow.
