Of all the colors in the rainbow, I would most like to see in grey for the rest of my life. That way, it would be like watching a black and white film. I would also be able to see all people pretty much the same. I would have to judge more based on personality and less on how awesome someone's clothes look. It would be better at making life more even, but dramatically less interesting. However, I would absolutely LOVE feeling like I'm in constantly in a fifties film:)

I prefer seeing just like I do right now though. I like being able to see all colors.

So today has been very good, except for one little thing. I totally planned on driving myself to school this morning but it totally did not happen. See, I wanted to attend the new Hollywood Movie club our school has, but my best friend, Lauren, wanted to drive me to school today. She was also coincidentally driving this boy that I like to school along with us. He totally knows that I like him, but doesn't do anything. He was quiet the whole ride. I don't know whether he likes me, hates me, is scared of me, feels nothing towards me, or just wants me to leave him alone! For the most part I try to stay leave him alone now because I know he feels that things are awkward, but I would really like a straightforward answer but where I stand. It's just not fair.

Love needs to be easier to deal with.

Three major things I want to accomplish before I die:

1. Make a major difference in the world (a positive one!)

2. Fall in love

3. To be remembered

The best part of my spring break was picking running back up. I never felt so good to get out and feel the burn in my lungs and the power in my legs! It was amazing Ms. Merrill. I felt so much better after I got back into swing. It sucked and was really tough at first but I got through it, and now it doesn't kill so much and makes me great. Running is really the greatest sport out of there. It's a sport of champions and diehards.

It is NOT for those who can't take a little pain.

The theme song for my day today has got to be Kiss My Sass by Cobra Starship. It's pretty much the gnarliest thing in my headphones right now. It totally describes everything that has gone on today. In debate we are writing three minute speeches in seven minutes and then immediately after we write them we have to start speaking. It's tough, and for every awkward pause, "um", or use of bad transitions we get to hear a little bell ding, signaling that we just lost two points off of our grade. These are quiz grades and they are kicking everyone's butts. So I was kind of sassy about my speech today cause I'm tired of losing points, and the topics we're talking about need to have a certain agression when approached because it is persuasive speaking.

It's a sassy kinda day.

My best memory from this year is probably isn't from just one single moment. I'd have to say it comes from debate though. See, in that class it's like we're a freaking legit family, not that it isn't like that in broadcast, but we eat lunches together and have to spend even more time together than just class time. We've played videogames together, and I am the best on the team at wii sports. The sad thing is that most of these people that I've grown to feel like my almost familly are graduating and this great set up we have will never be the same. I complain about debate all the time, but being with the people there has given me a lot. I've thought about things in a way I wouldn't have ever dreamed of, I've met some of the craziest people, I've heard some of the most insane stories, and I've laughed about some of the best inside jokes others will never know. Just a collection of the quirky and fun little moments we've all had together talking about weird opponents or biased judges, and poking fun at each other is what has really made a portion of my year.

The other portion comes from all the fun in broadcast:)

So we went on a super awesome field trip today. I freaking loved it. Being at a real news station and seeing what really goes into made me see all the hard work but all fun involved too. It also got me thinking about our own broadcast and things that we could do to make it better. I wonder if we have to stay so involved in the school alone. It's just a suggestion that I am thinking of proposing, but maybe we could cover bigger new too? Even if it's just a reader. Just an idea, but I thought it might bring out how this is actually news, to the kids here that only want a broadcast for funnies.

Just a thought and, if we stick to copyright, we could get access to footage and make it work.

Apples. I am downright addicted to apples. I eat apples everyday. I go into withdrawal without apples. I eat a minimum of eight apples per day and a maximum of however many more I can eat without getting a stomach ache. I have an obsession, but it's okay. I love apples. I eat an apple in the morning, one or two for a snack before lunch, one or two more with my lunch, two after school, and then two or three more after dinner, and finally possibly up to three as a before I retire to my wonderful bed.

Mind you, these are just averages. I can eat way more or way less depending on the day.
