Bad Monday....

    Here's my life....
-This morning I walked outside to my ride....and Mac was sitting in the front.  Mac is like 5 years old and half my size.  I was also wearing a dress this morning while squished in the back seat with my bags in MY LAP.  Ridiculous.  Needless to say, when I got to school this morning, I wasn't in a very good mood.
-They are finishing the English II test today, so we are stuck in 7th period for FOREVER again today.  With nothing to do.  Geez.
-Oh, and I woke up like 12 times last night because our house is so freaking hot!!!!  So, today, I'm extremely tired and not very happy.
     I'm trying to actually have a good Monday though, so now for the good things about today....
-My sisters are home for the summer!!  Jealous, but happy they are home and it isn't just the 4 of us anymore. 
-10 more days of school left!!!!  I think....
-I have a field trip on Wednesday!!  And then another one next Tuesday!!
-34 days until SIFAT!!!!  Soooooo pumped!!!!
-Mama is coming home tonight.  She will be home around 10:30.  Excitement.
-Me and Cam have plans to watch Balto 2 tonight!!  Last Monday we watched Balto.  So sad.  So sweet.  Love that movie.
-Summer is coming soon.  And until then, I will play on sporcle and Hooda math games.  I love you all.  Goodbye for now.

TOY STORY 3!!!!

     I freaking LOVE Toy Story 3!!!!  No lie.  I just watched it on Paco in health.  I almost cried....multiple times.  I'm kind of a really really really big wimp.  Haha.  For real.  Anyways, Cam, the girl in the movie, Bonnie, has recently (like 12 minutes ago) been added to my list of cute little animated kids.  She is adorable.  I love that movie.  Oh, and Tangled is my new favorite movie.  We watched it yesterday in Mrs. Worth's class during testing.  It was fantastic.  I want that movie!!  Ahhh!!!!  Sooo good!!!!  And now I'm ready for lunch because I have a nutty buddy bar thing.  Yumm yumm!!  And now I'm going to put my headphones in, listen to the FANTASTIC CD Kat made me in 6th grade, and sleep/rest until we go to lunch. :)

Alone??

     I love those times when you are sitting by a whole bunch of other people....but you feel completely alone.  My life.  Thanks guys.  I hate school.

Geez.

     I REALLY don't understand some people.  If I could have a superpower, I'd love to be able to read people's minds.  So, I just went to lunch....I come back to geometry....my backpack is laying on the floor by my desk....and my binder is shut with crumbs and crap all over it.  My backpack now has dirt/dust marks on the front of it because some stupid jerkface knocked it over.  And the reason for my binder and papers that were moved and dirty??  I don't know.  But this is the second day people have done this to my stuff.  I understand that it is just material stuff....but do people have NO RESPECT for anyone anymore??  I mean, it is my own geometry class....I thought these people knew better....I just don't get it....

Freak..

     Sooo....I'm a freak.  I'm playing Sugar, Sugar on Hooda Math Games....and every time I move my computer, I'm afraid I'll pour out all the sugar.  Hahaha.  I have problems.  Anyways, I'm in Geometry....for 4 hours.  Party.  We have a test later.  I'm so not excited.  I feel somewhat accomplished though....I now have 2 of my 6 paragraphs done for my Hero essay about Carson.  So....that's exciting....
     Sooo....you know how 2 nights ago there were tornadoes??  Yeah, well, apparently the sirens went off in Pontotoc and everything....at like 12:30....and no one in my house ever woke up.  Oops.  Then, it was really bad at like 3 this morning....but I don't think the sirens ever went off in Pontotoc.  Sooo....we're good.  Haha.  My life.... :)

Really??

     I love how when people accidentally leave a sweater in someone's class....and other people don't know whose it is....they feel the need to just throw the sweater on the floor, get it all dirty, step all over it, and kill it.  Thank you stupid jerkfaces in Ms. Burnett's advisory class for my now disgusting black sweater that is stretched out and has dirty/dust footprints all over it.

Broken Hearted....

     I never realized before how much my heart really breaks when I'm at school.  Today I overheard some people talking about their family life and life at home.  They talked about the problems and the cruelty and hurt that had been inflicted upon them from people they wanted love from so badly.  I heard them say they didn't even care about some people in their families.  I can't really relate to that because compared to most homes in the world, I have a very easy, nice, happy life.  I have my parents.  I have my siblings.  We have 2 dogs.  My parents both have jobs.  My older brother and sisters all went to college.  My little brother and I go to school everyday.  We have a nice house.  Sure, there's stress and fights and arguments....but we all love each other and would do anything to help another person in our family.  I'd consider us all fairly close.  
     So, after hearing the kids talk about their own families like that this morning....I'm heart broken.  My question is this: why does God let these kinds of things happen to people??  Kids are abused, abandoned, given up, uncared for, hurt, and THEIR hearts break all the time because of the people that really are (in my mind) supposed to LOVE them.  The reason my heart is broken.....is for their broken hearts.  I just don't understand why some people are so....cruel.  I will never understand.  
     Here is my new thought: because I don't know the lives of the people I pass in the hall everyday....I should give the as much love and comfort and help and JESUS as I can for the short time I see them.  I say that because who knows what that person will go home to after school.  Even if it is one of my best friends and I KNOW she has 2 parents, a little brother, a nice house, good food, and a warm shower and bed to go home to....she might be going through something else.  The truth is....we're ALL fighting in some type of battle at any given point of each day.  So, I'm thinking about this....the bad days when I wake up and fight with my mother or my ride is late or I just hate life in general....all I really want on those days is a little encouragement....a reminder that God DOES love me, still....a little love from someone else.  Compared to some people's everyday battles though, mine seem so minuscule....
     So, maybe on the days that all I need is a tiny, minuscule word of encouragement or just a smile from someone in passing....maybe those are the days when someone with much BIGGER problems really NEEDS someone to be there for them.   I hope that made sense....
     Here is my point in all this....MY new battle with myself....

"Let no one ever come up to you without leaving better and happier."  

Mother Teresa

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them." 

Mother Teresa

"We cannot do great things.  We can only do small things with great love." Mother Teresa

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echos are truly endless." Mother Teresa

Abandonment....

     I just realized that I have recently abandoned my blog....oops.  Bing games and congnitivelabs are just taking up SO much time now!!   Hahaha.  Anyways....here's some life updates since the last time I posted....
     I got to watch Cam be a total freaking beast yesterday afternoon and win a tennis match against New Albany!!  It was pretty freaking cool.  I thought he was going to pass out or something.....but he didn't.  And Cam and Ryan won.  And now they're going to state!!  Freaking incredible....oh, and apparently the Pontotoc fans are "worthless"....hahaha.  Funn times....
     I'm going to SIFAT tonight!!!!  Excitement.  Even if I'll only be there for one night and we're coming home tomorrow morning....I'm still pumped.  This is my last day at school for the week.  That fact makes me extremely happy.
     I am now CPR certified.  CPR is much harder than you'd expect!!  Geez.  Also, it IS possible to perform CPR while wearing a dress or a skirt.  Just in case yall were wondering....it is.  Ha.  Oh, and I think if you really went down 2 inches to the person's chest.....it would break their chest plate.  For real.  But, I guess I'd rather have a broken chest plate than die because I can't breathe or my heart has stopped.
     I got a twitter!!  My username is kennedyshock13....you should follow me :)  Though, I'm incredibly boring, and I don't think I even tweet about normal things other people tweet about.  I have one though.  I have been pestered about getting a twitter for months....and now I finally have one.  Haha.  I'm following all the American Idol people now.  I'm a loser.  Don't judge me.  Ha.
     I get to see Addison tonight!!!!  That's also exciting.  Just thought I'd let yall know.  Because I'm pretty pumped about it....obviously.
     I'm ALSO excited because EASTER IS SUNDAY!!!!  Which means that this is Holy Week.  And tomorrow is Maundy Thursday.  And The day after that is Good Friday.  Then....EASTER IS SUNDAY!!!!  That's is exciting.  Very exciting.
     And that's my life at the moment....I might post some random cool pictures or wedding dresses or something totally awesome and fantastic on a blog post later....but at the moment, I'm in Spanish and I need to study my Eastern Europe map because a have a quiz later.... :)

Volleyball....

     So, today has been an absolutely crazy day.  Actually, from the time I got home from school until now has been.....insane.  I don't really feel like getting into all that, though.  Not fun.  Here's my question....how important is volleyball really??  I mean, seriously....

     Jan always says after Pontotoc loses a big game and all the boys go crazy and post ridiculous facebook statuses and act stupid, "Sports are not eternal."  That is true.  Volleyball.  Baseball. Swimming.  Basketball.  Tennis.  Football.  All of that....is crap.  Yes, they may be fun.  They are a way to use your God-given abilities to worship him....if you use those abilities appropriately....but sports has absolutely no eternal significance.  So why is it all so important??  Volleyball....making the team....winning State Championship....pointless.  Those things mean nothing to God.  So, I think we should all....myself included....focus less on volleyball, and sports in general, and focus more on the things GOD thinks are important.  After the last 2 days....I'm trying....

     Those are just my thoughts to be....thinking about....I guess.  I don't really know.  I think I just needed to tell myself all that.  Hopefully yall got SOMETHING from this post..

My Supercool Friends..

Sooo....my supercool friend named Emily brought me back a turtle from SIFAT when she went over spring break!!!!  We played with them in Spanish.. :)

We are the COOLEST kids EVER.  For real.

My superfantasticallyamazing friend named Katherine....shows me websites like this.  And then I sit like a little kid in a candy store and stare at the screen for an hour while she laughs at my expressions. :)  I love her..

Katherine also randomly makes fish..........

Out of tissue boxes........

More of this supercool website she showed me.  This is my favorite effect on it.  It "drips." :)

Kat..

     Hi guys.  I'm currently sitting in Kat's room using her charger to charge Paco.  Because now all I do is play Bing games at school....but today I even wrote Sam a note!!  So....I'm amazed that my battery has still gone down to like 14!!  Anyways.....Kat disappeared.  About 30 minutes ago, we were sitting in her kitchen eating. :)  Of course we were eating....haha.  OREOS!!!!  Well, I was eating oreos....she was eating pizza stuff.  Anyways, we were sitting there and her mom called.  She disappeared into the side of the house where her parents' room is.  She didn't come back.  I went to her room and moved all my stuff off her bed and changed into my volleyball stuff.  She still isn't back.  Haha.  On Tuesday, she forgot I was here, too.  I figure she's got forgetful problems.  Hahaha.  Anyways, now I'm sitting here blogging and playing Flowerz on Bing (of course..).  I'm jammin to Justin Bieber's Baby.  Don't judge me.  Actually, I'm going through my list of Top Played....this happens to be on it.  I'm about to listen to I'll Make a Man Out of You 12 zillion times, now and get pumped for tryouts!!  :)


P.S. Cam, good luck.  Haha.  I wish I could be there to watch you beat my own school!!  Geez.  Yall should be starting right now....so I hope you win.  I guess.. :)

Let's Get Down to Business!!

     Sooo....I'll Make a Man Out of You is our motivational theme song for volleyball tryouts.  It is pretty much the best song ever.  Anyways, we have tryouts again tonight.  We are doing circuit AGAIN tonight.  At the very beginning.  Then we actually get to play volleyball!!  After we want to go crawl in a hole and die because of circuit.  Anyways, then he said we'll probably go through circuit AGAIN at the very end.  Geez.  Sometimes, I think Coach Jordan is trying to kill us.  Haha.  
     I'm trying to keep telling myself that volleyball is not important.  Like, it really isn't.  Or well, it SHOULDN'T be.  At the moment, I'm attempting to remember my priorities.  I shouldn't be worried about volleyball tryouts right now for 3 reasons....
1. They are tonight, not right now....so there's no use worrying about it NOW.
2. The Bible says "Don't worry about anything, instead, pray about everything.  Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done."
3. Even if I don't make the volleyball team this year, it isn't REALLY that important.  Volleyball has absolutely NO eternal significance.  THAT is what really matters.  
     So, my goal for today....NOT worry....PRAY about it if I start to worry....try to ENCOURAGE other people....and show people God's love at school.  That's my life.

Hi guys :)

     Hi guys.  They blocked our blogs on our Macs.  Stupid.  For real.  Anyways, they didn't block blogger.com....so, we can still POST....we just can't look at our own blogs.  Ha.  Anyways, I was going to post about volleyball tryouts, but I JUST realized like 10 minutes ago that I can still make new posts.  Though, yall probably won't read them much anymore since the new blockage.  Cam will most likely still read my blog though.  Haha.  And Mal, if you can see this, hey :)  I love you!!!!  I get to see you (and Fizz and Zozz) AGAIN tomorrow night!!  Excitement....
     I'm in geometry.  Just chillin.  Haha, 60% days are my FAVORITE.  For real, kids.  I love them.  Though, I need to study kind of a lot of stuff tonight, and I kind of (meaning for real) have a lot of homework and stuff to do this afternoon.  BUT, I'll get home at 12, so it SHOULD be okay.  And then....YOUTH TONIGHT!!!!!  More excitement....  :)  And now....bing games....that AREN'T blocked....yet.  Haha, even MORE excitement....  :)  Bye guys..

SIFAT Part II

     I know I said I was going to post again YESTERDAY about SIFAT and it's amazingness....but oh well.  I'm writing about it now instead.  People who DON'T know what SIFAT is probably think I'm crazy counting down the days to some "fat camp".  Well, that is false.  SIFAT is NOT a fat camp.  It is an acronym.  It stands for Servants In Faith And Technology.  It is an incredible place.  It is my favorite place in the world.  I can't even describe it.  My big brother is on the staff there.  My older sister was a counselor for the Learn and Serve summer camp last year.  I've been to Learn and Serve for 3 summers in a row.  This coming summer will be my fourth.  I love it.  SIFAT is a mission-based camp where international students and people can come and stay on campus to learn.  They learn appropriate technologies to go home and teach their communities.  They learn super incredible things like how to purify water and how to grow different plants that are okay to eat based on the resources available to them.  SIFAT has different mission teams that go overseas and do all kinds of amazing things.  My brother went to Bolivia for 3 months about 3 years ago.  He drilled wells, so that people could access clean water.  My dad took our church's youth group (I was too young to go at the time.) to Ecuador for a week, and they worked at VBS. SIFAT is a pretty amazing place.  It changes me every time I go.  People in a America take things for granted.  I know I do.  Going to SIFAT makes me rethink life.  EVERY time I go.  It is incredible.  I keep using that word, incredible....but it really is.  I can't think of any other words to describe it.  SIFAT Learn and Serve camp teaches you about other countries and the need around the world.  You learn how other people live.  You learn how God works in awesome and amazing, unbelievable ways.  It is a cool thing.  I love SIFAT.  I've done a TERRIBLE job at trying to explain it to yall.  Feel free to go to sifat.org if you'd like to see for yourself.  And if you HAVE been to SIFAT before (Fizz, Zozz, Cam, and Emily) feel free to comment and attempt to explain is better than I attempted. :)
