Holding On To This Life I've Found
Thinking: Happy Easter!!!
Listening to: Vanessa Carlton
Hoping: AJ will call Cindy!
:) Dreaming of: Spring Break! Just one more week of school!
Jen Did What?!?: We got to sleep in psychology twice this week! And I'm not kidding!
Looking Forward to: Anything after this Friday!
Life Is: Better than ever despite the fact that I'm sure this week is going to be stressful.
Hey guyz! Wow, I have a lot to fill you in on!
First off,
I am officially the assistant editor of the yearbook for next year! How cool is that?!?!? I am so excited, and I'm going to make sure that the yearbook rocks next year! And don't worry, I'm going to try to make sure that
EVERYONE is in the book! ::
winks at Kyle::
The graduation test wasn't so bad, but the only reason that I'm saying that now is because the last day that I took it was Thursday so how much I truly hated it isn't fresh in my mind anymore. If you ask me, it got harder each day. The language arts was fine despite the fact that we had to read like twenty stories and then only answer like three questions after every one of them. The math was so-so. I've taken the SAT and ACT enough to be used to doing verbal and math stuff so it wasn't that big of a deal to me. The science was hard because some of the questions were really in depth, and I don't remember anything from physical science. And last but not least, the history was horrible. There weren't detailed questions about dates or wars or anything; the questions were just weird. I really hope I passed all of the sections, because it would really suck to have to be the only senior next year sitting in a room full of juniors, retaking that stupid test!
We're learning about dreams in psychology, and so for the last fifteen minutes of class one day this past week,
we got to go to sleep. I personally can't fall asleep in school, but it was nice to not have to do anything. We had to write about our "dream" for homework, and then a few days later we had to actually write about what we wanted to dream about and then we got to sleep for twenty-five minutes. Coach kept saying, "Now, if someone walks in here and sees you guys sleeping, I'm going to be in big trouble!" We had to listen to this weird music while we were "sleeping" and there was this one part where a bird starts chirping really loud and everyone lifted their heads up at the same time. You could tell that everyone was thinking, "
What in the world is that?" It was funny. Oh, and
Juan started snoring! hahaha
Happy Easter everyone! I don't know about you, but I personally really like Easter. When I was eleven it fell on my birthday so that was kind of cool. My uncle should be coming up soon, and we'll all have dinner and Grams will probably make me spill my news about a few new things that are going on in my life. Then I'll probably go and finish all of my homework.
Holidays make me really think about what I'm thankful for in my life, and I know you all are probably thinking, "
Isn't that a Thanksgiving thing?" But whatever. I think about what I'm thankful for everyday, and believe me, when I pray, it takes me a while to say everything that I have to say. I know that you are all probably getting tired of me talking about how great and awesome my life is right now, but hey, isn't that better than hearing me rave on and on about chemistry like I did in the fall?
:) Well, I am so happy with everything right now, which is a little weird. I don't think I've been happy with
everything in a long time, and man, I like it! lol I really hope it stays this way. School's great, and my friends are great. I mean, Cindy's finally got her fairy tale life that she deserves ... if only prince charming would call her or come back from his far away kingdom though!
;) And as for me, there's someone in my life right now that constantly eases my mind and makes me smile no matter how dull or boring my day has been. Yep, life is good! I'm so thankful to all of you who make my life special.
I luv you guyz! ::

I saw Ms. Congeniality yesterday, and I personally really liked it. The AJC gave it a C- and Shannon said he'd give it a C+ but I think it deserved at least a B. It was funny, and Sandra Bullock is always cool so I'd recommend it to anyone. I guess if you go into the movie theater, expecting the movie to truly "wow" you, then you'll be a little disappointed, but if you just want to see a fun, comedic movie, you'll like it.
The 8th graders are coming this Tuesday! I love it when we have the 8th graders come and tour the school because I get to see my two favorite teachers of all time Mrs. Kelley and Mr. Stewart. I'm hoping I can get out of class for something. Maybe Mrs. Boggs will let us hand out flyers about yearbook. 8th grade was amazing for me. I'm sure that it's the one school year that I'll never forget. I wrote BLEND that year, and so much happened that made me a much stronger and wiser person.
Awe, I loved 8th grade!Well, whether you're on your spring break, stuck at school like me or even at work, I hope everyone has an awesome week!

The Little Things In Life
Thinking: I have to get up at like seven o'clock tomorrow...
Listening to: 3 Doors Down
Jen Did What?!?: Cindy and I devoured an entire large pizza!
Looking Forward To: Sunday
;)Sometimes I Wonder: Why there are southern vs. northern accents in the first place, why I live in the poultry capital of the world, why people say it's illegal to eat chicken with a fork in Gainesville, why teachers always assign projects at the same time, and if I'll ever really need half of the stuff that I'm learning in algebra 2...
What Keeps Me Happy: All of the little things in life
Ten Years From Now: I'll be almost 27! Wow! That's weird to think about! Um, lets see, I'll hopefully have the job of my dreams, have at least one more published novel under my belt and be a happy, successful person!
Hey guyz! Wow, this week has gone by so fast that I don't even remember Monday! Well, come to think of it, I can't really remember Tuesday that well either! Oh well, it's been a great week, and it's definitely been interesting. Oh yeah, if anyone ever wants to share how they feel about my comments above … such as what they think they will be doing ten years from now … feel free to comment away!
Today Mrs. Boggs was supposed to post the list of who got what editorial position at the end of the day, but no,
we all have to wait until Monday!!! I was so ready to find out, and I think Heather was even more excited than I was! Okay, hold up, Monday is coming back to me now because that's when I had my interview. Well, it went great. Mrs. Boggs is such a sweet person, and I think she knows how much I care about the yearbook. I'm sure that everyone, who truly deserves to be an editor, will get his or her chance.
We all had to go to review sessions this week because the dreaded high school graduation test is next week, and it's totally random how they pick you. I got chosen to go to the science and history sessions, which I was actually pretty happy about because I'm sure that I can pass math and language arts sections since I have taken the SAT a good number of times already. I'm worried about science because I can't remember any of the in depth information, especially from physical science. Then again, I'm horrible with history dates, and whenever I try to guess I'm usually pretty far off. Oh well, all I care about is passing the test. It's fine with me if all I get is a 500, which is what you need to pass.
The review sessions were boring, but I lived through them. I almost fell asleep during the science one, but at the same time, I took a lot of notes. I think that's what was keeping me awake. The history one was okay, but to be honest, I wasn't really paying close attention. I mean, give me a break, it's Friday, and it was first period. All I was thinking about was my stupid math test that I had third period today and a few other things that never leave my mind.
Today Chestatee held a blood drive, and I don't know about you, but I could never give blood. Don't get me wrong, I'm all into helping people. I participate in community service projects and everyone knows that I'm letting my hair grow out for locks of love, but I hate needles! Heather, Juan, Rebekah and Casey all gave blood, and man, I don't know how they did it because I'm sure that I would have fainted or something, but
good job to them! Cindy and I had our
"girl's night out" today, and it consisted of us saying at my house, eating an entire large pizza and watching
Mean Girls. Sounds like one really cool girl's night out huh? Well, Cindy and I have never been typical people, and we probably never will be. That's what makes us cool!
:)Tomorrow I will be getting up very early so that
I can celebrate Bekah's birthday with the girls. They have pretty much done whatever they could to uncover a little secret that I've been planning on telling them tomorrow, and well, they think they have it figured out, but they haven't. I mean, sure, they might have a clue, but it's impossible for them to figure it out completely. Oh well, I guess they'll just have to wait until tomorrow to hear my news...
Well, I'm sure that this weekend will be full of interesting events. Life has been so weird yet so great for me lately. I actually have a life on the weekend! Ah yes, I can remember the days when I stayed at home and did homework all weekend long ...
Man, I'm glad those days are over! lol
I hope everyone has a great weekend, and I'll type again soon!
-JKM - OUT!
Beautiful Soul
Thinking: Tomorrow is definitely going to be interesting...

:)Life Is: Super Hilarious
I Am: Very happy for some reason
;)I Need To Talk To: Ashley and Martha!
I Need To Stop: Worrying So Much! hehehe
Movie You Should See: Robots
This Week Is Going To Be: Fun, Hectic and Odd
Hey guyz! Just like I had assumed, this weekend was great. Well, maybe great isn't the best word for it, but it was definitely a lot of fun. I need a bigger vocabulary!
Today I basically accomplished everything that I wanted to minus the newspaper article that Heather and I have been working on for a few weeks. All I have to do is write an introduction and type it up, but I just didn't feel like it today. I got up this morning, started working on my "brief" writing sample for my yearbook application, and then I attempted to finish my math homework but that didn't work out too well because we're doing logarithms and for some reason, they're not agreeing with me. Oh well, it doesn't matter.
They may have won the battle, but I won the war because later on today I got help (::winks at my brilliant math helper::), and I think I understand it now, it just might take me a minute to process everything in my head. I guess that's normal though, so it's all good.
Tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. I have my official yearbook interview. If you want an editorial position for next year, you have to go through an interview with the yearbook teacher, and
I actually think it'll be fun. I know that Mrs. Boggs knows how much I care about the yearbook, and I'm not sure if I'll get the position that I want, but either way, I just really want the yearbook to be awesome next year.
I can't help it. I'm going to be a senior, so I of course care a whole lot about how it's going to turn out, and I'm sure that whoever ends up being our two Editors in Chief will do their best to make sure that happens. We have a lot of totally different people in yearbook, and sometimes the drama is crazy, but I really believe that everyone balances each other out. All in all I think we're one really amazing staff.
Awe, I feel a tear coming on ...Friday night Cindy and I are planning on having a "girl's night out." It's not like we're going to hit the town and try to pick up guys or something because well, that would almost be funny enough to be a reality TV show, but Cindy has had a boyfriend since like 8th grade, and well, now she's suddenly single. I guess I just really want her to be happy because she truly deserves to be, and I know that she hasn't been in a long time, but that hasn't been her fault. Who knows though,
just by knowing how Cindy and I are, we'll probably just end up ordering pizza and watching Mean Girls at my house. lol My life reminds me of Gilmore Girls so often!
Guess what March 17th is?!?!? Duh, it's St. Patrick's Day (I need to find something green!), but it's also my friend Bekah's birthday! Bekah, Casey, Christy and I usually try to celebrate each other's birthdays together. Bekah's birthday is in March, mine's in April, Christy's is in May and Casey's is in June. So all in all, we get to hang out once a month for four months. Not that we don't hang out after that, it's just that those times are extra special. It's a lot of fun hanging out with them. Their like my "group" I guess you could say. We're all completely different from each other, and I guess that's what makes us good friends. We even had t-shirts made last year with "FRIENDS" on the front and a character from the TV show on the back. Yeah, I was of course voted Monica. lol
Well, I hope everyone has an awesome week!-JKM - OUT!
Can You Hear Me Now?
Thinking: Just when things become perfect, someone else steps into the picture and makes me worry!
Listening to: Everything Is Going To Be All Right ... Yellowcard
What Went Well This Week: Tests
What Didn't Go Well This Week: Eh ... I don't want to talk about it
I Am: happy, faithful, hopeful
I Need to Call: Ashley! She's lucky, her spring break is next week!
Shout Out: Kyle! I hope you had fun in Atlanta!
I DO See Myself: Having an awesome senior year, getting a car, graduating high school, going to college, becoming a journalist, writing an amazing novel, being Cindy's maid of honor someday, going to New York and Hawaii, impacting someone's life (in a positive way of course!), becoming a ninja (just kidding), having fun, living a happy life, leaving a legacy...
Hey guyz! This week has gone by so fast, and it's been an amazing week! Cindy and I are finally going through the same things at the same time so it's really cool to have your best friend just as happy as you are at the same time!
I can't remember if I wore the earplugs for psychology on Tuesday or Wednesday, but whatever. It sure was interesting. The earplugs were annoying, but I kept them in all day.
I could hear what people were saying, but whenever I talked I felt like a megaphone! It was so weird! And when I took them off, I had like super hearing for a few minutes. Everyone was reading the newspaper, and when someone turned the page, it sounded really loud! Juan decided to wear the blind fold, and it definitely came with a few disadvantages. He fell out of his chair in the morning, and then when I was taking him to lunch he went ahead of me and smacked right into a wall. Then some kid just randomly hit him in the hallway, which was pretty mean. I must say that lunch was the funniest part of all though. Kryssee took a Dorito and stuck it in Juan's bag of regular potato chips. Juan then started to eat the Dorito and screamed, "these aren't my chips, give me my chips back!!!" It was so funny. Someone tried to switch his drink too, but he didn't fall for that.
This week has been the ultimately worst studying week for me ever! I had this huge AP government test on Tuesday, and I maybe studied for it for like fifteen minutes.
Guess what though? I made an 88 on it! I totally thought that I failed, but I actually did really well. I kind of felt bad though ... like I didn't deserve it. lol I feel like one of those people that make good grades despite the fact that they never study.
Man, I hate those people! Well, 88 seems to be my lucky number this week, because I eventually got my psychology test back from last Friday that I was positive I failed, and I got an 88 on it! We then got progress reports on Thursday, and my lowest grade is a 95 so hey, I'm pretty darn happy! Plus, I got a 105 on my math test!!!
Yep, life is good!Man oh man. I have a lot of questions in my head that I need to answer right now, and I really need to have it all figured out by tomorrow. I'm not going to go into detail because I don't like to do that on here, but don't worry, it's nothing bad. I'm actually extremely happy. I just worry too much, and I have to be completely sure about things.
Oh well, that's just part of who I am.
This weekend is going to be great! I just know it ...
-JKM - OUT!
The Days of our Lives
Thinking: BIG government test Tuesday ... I'll be busy studying tomorrow!
Listening to: Once again, the CD that Heather gave me. Thanks again Heather!
Dreaming of: Not waking up in the middle of the night!!! For the past three nights, I've been waking up at weird times. I think I have too much on my mind. Oh well. Luckily, I eventually fall back to sleep.
Show I Have To Watch This Week: Gilmore Girls ... Luke and Lorilei are back together! Yay!
I Am: feeling really happy lately!
I Never See Myself: Driving a mini van, eating fish, running a marathon or becoming a scientist ... and I'm sure there are many more things...
Hey guyz!
Life is good! My bad luck spell is finally over, and you know what? I think it might have been worth it. Friday was a really good day for me, but I'm not even sure why. It's weird though because throughout the entire week I thought that everyday was Friday, and then finally when it actually was Friday, it felt like a Monday! You'd think that Friday would have been a bad day for me if I thought it was a Monday, but I was actually really happy and hyper about everything which is weird because I haven't had caffeine in a long time! haha
Hhhmmm ... maybe Heather is starting to wear off on me!
Yesterday was awesome! ;) I learned how to bowl!!! And believe it or not, but I actually wasn't too bad at it. I really thought that I would do something stupid like throw the ball down the wrong lane or something, but thankfully, I didn't.
Starting tomorrow we're supposed to be doing this experiment for psychology, and I think it's going to be very funny. You have to choose whether you want to wear ear plugs, a nose plug or a blind fold for the entire day. I decided to stay on the safe side and go with the ear plugs, but Juan is being daring and chose to wear the blind fold. I'll have to help him get to his classes and to and from lunch, which will probably be interesting. hehehe I wonder if he should trust me. Nah, I'll be nice and try not to bump him into any walls. Of course, I don't think Coach Haight would mind too much if I did!
Today I have to finish my government letter, but I'm a little confused on the format. When someone says (2 spaces) does that mean to actually leave two spaces or does it mean to hit enter twice? I really don't know, but I'm going with the hitting enter twice option because it looks better. I also have to start studying for my government test today, and I'm really hoping that I'll do well on it because there is a ton of information that we have to know, and I think there might end up being three essays! Yeah, so I have a lot to do! Plus,
Charmed comes on at 7:00 tonight, and then I have to watch
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition at 8:00! ... I really haven't watched too much TV lately, so I think I deserve it!
-JKM - OUT!
Bubba's Gone!
Thinking: Is tomorrow Friday?
Listening to: The mix CD that Heather made me! Thanks Heather! I
luv it!
Dreaming of: Twix ... I guess ... ::
winks at Heather::
I Need to: Study for my psychology test tomorrow! Figuring out the real difference between clairvoyance, precognition, telepathy and psycokinesis isn't the easiest thing in the world!
Jen Did What?!?: I got a
100 on my math test! Yay!
What Can I Live Without?: Junk mail, homework, tests, telemarketers, teachers in bad moods, friends who lie to your face, computers that don't like me, annoying questions in my head that I can't answer ... yeah, I could go on...
Hey guyz! Once again, there are probably over a million things that I
can live without, but to save space, I thought I'd just type a few. Anyway, how has your week been? Mine has gone by in a flash! Of course, I've been thinking that everyday is Friday, so you'd assume that it's been going by really slow, but whatever.
Georgia weather is so umpredictable! It keeps changing, and I really wish it would just make up its mind. I mean, come on, it's March, how about some nice weather?
My grandmother was talking on the phone to her friend from New York recently, and her friend asked, "you don't really live in the deep South, do you?" When I heard that I was like, "tell her she can come to my school and meet all of the rednecks, and then drive about a mile away from our house and see the cows, horses and goats in people's yards!" I've never felt like I live in the stereotypical version of the South, but I'll admit it ...
I'm a country girl ... I say
ya'll and sometimes when I say
bye on the phone it sounds so country that it makes me laugh. Which reminds me ... I've been having to make a lot of quick decisions lately, and while doing so I've been thinking about the movie
Sweet Home Alabama. I thought of a quote from that movie that really fits me at the moment, and I stuck it on my profile for AIM. The quote is, "What's wrong with you country girls anyway? You can't make any of the right decisions so you try all of the wrong ones instead?"
Yeah ... that's totally true!Bubba the 20 pound lobster died! We all had a moment of silence in government today! For those of you who don't keep up with the news, someone found a 20 pound lobster somewhere, and they were going to try to save it, but it sadly died. I saw a picture of him, and man, it was one huge lobster! Anyway, the news said that they are going to do an autopsy on Bubba to find out the true cause of death.
Let us all say a prayer for the poor 20 pound lobster ...Tomorrow the yearbook will finally be shipped out for good!!!
I have gained so much this year by being on the yearbook staff! Originally I was going to work for the newspaper, but then my school decided not to do that as a class this year, so I had the choice to either take yearbook or something else. Well, I chose yearbook, and its been a blast. I even had the chance to meet my friend Heather at the yearbook workshop at the beginning of the year, and now she's one of my best friends. I'm excited about being on the staff next year. I mean, it's going to be my
SENIOR YEAR! Wow, that sounds so weird! I can't believe I'm going to be a senior! Anyway, I know that this year's yearbook is going to be awesome, and I'd like to give a shout out to all of my yearbook buddies and say:
WE DID IT!!!-JKM - OUT!
