Life.

     I have 6 and 5/8 days of school left.  I'm ready to get out.  I really don't want to go to 8th period today.  I never want to go actually because volleyball workouts suck.  I REALLY don't want to go today though.  I'm already dreading it.  It is only 2nd period.  
     A while back, the week of Tupelo's volleyball tryouts, I posted about how sports aren't important.  I still think so.  But now, I'm, personally, feeling how sports can....with lack of a better word, break you.  Right now, volleyball is very....upsetting.  I'm kind of distraught about next year.  I'm trying to be hopeful and be there for my girls, but it is so hard.  I don't understand some things.  Actually, I don't understand a lot of things.  Volleyball was one thing I actually DID understand.  Until now.  
     So, now I'm back to where I was the week of tryouts.  I'm telling myself that sports really aren't important.  They have no eternal value at all.  At all.  God doesn't care about winning seasons or state championships or switching coaches or making the team or any of that.  That is hard to comprehend and NOT be upset about at this point.  I'm trying though.  Bible verses I just found....
-Proverbs 18:10 "The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe."
-Proverbs 17:27 "A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even tempered."
-Proverbs 18:2 "Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions."
-Matthew 5:44 "Jesus says love your enemies!  Pray for those who persecute you!"
-Matthew 6:21 "Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will be also."
-Matthew 6:34 "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries.  Today's trouble is enough for today."

I feel that this picture is a fairly nice representation of summer in general.  It works for the beach too.

I looked up SIFAT and these pictures came up on Bing!!

....fuel efficient cook stove to eliminate smoke in the houses....

Did you know smoke from the kitchen is the 2nd killer in the world??  Real life guys.

Happy birthday to me and Kat!!  :)

I like this one better..

Aww....

Dedicated to Kat and her incredible (almost) 15 years of life!!  I love her :)

I'm almost 16....

5th period..

This is a cooler picture of world geography....definitely.

This is me.  Driving.  :)  Hahaha.  See the resemblance??  I do.

SOOOO CUTE!!!!  This is my future husband.  We have interesting opinions in cars.

I just thought he was cute....

This is me.  Being sad and missing Cam.  By the way....that says "Camm (the Boy That Is So Cool and Loves You) :-)"  Not really sure what cool kid entered his nickname in like that.  Hahaha.  I wonder..

My life :)

Almost Done.

     School is about to kill me.  For real.  I want to go crawl in a hole and stay there until May 24th.  So not kidding.  I have 9 more days of school (if I am exempt from everything)....and you'd think it was the second week of school.  That's what it feels like.  So many freaking projects and new lessons!!  We have 10 more school days until exams!!  Why all this new teaching and stuff??  I don't understand it.  I hate school.  With a passion.  You don't even understand.  We started a health project today.  We started a new chapter in geometry yesterday.  We started reading a book yesterday in English.  I don't even know what we're doing in Spanish!!  I haven't been to that class in a week and a half!!  I have a map quiz in geography today.  That one is understandable....but why can't the teachers give us a break for once??  We just finished state testing and it is almost summer!!  Why do they do this to us??  I don't get it.  At all.  I am so very frustrated with school at this point.  Sigh....
     I'm frustrated with a lot of other things at the moment, too.  But I'm not going to complain in this whole post.  I will now suck it up and move on with my crazy life.  I wish I'd brought a movie to watch in health today.  I will tomorrow.  For sure.  
     Me and Kat went on a field trip yesterday!!  It was fun!!  We went to some camp in Pontotoc county. It was a boy scout camp.  We did 4 low ropes activities in the morning.  Then we ate lunch.  Then we did a trust fall activity thing.  THEN we did a zip line.  Geez.  I have learned this from experience:  when you are being rushed for time and the people don't even think you're going to do something, you don't have time to stand on a platform 12 zillion feet high and freak out.  You just have to jump off and go.  Ha.  I was the 2nd to last person to go.  Kat was right before me, and Chance was right after.  We had to jam into the jeep and ride to the charter bus.  We arrived back at the school at 2:58.  Intense.  And that was my life yesterday.  It was fun.  It was hard.  It was challenging.  It was exciting.  It was SOO much better than school.  And I was very proud of myself for NOT freaking out on the zip line.  Haha.
     And now I'm going to go play bubble shooter for 30 minutes.  My life..

State Biology Test....

Dear Cameron Timmons,
     This post is from Kennedy, especially for you.  She said that everyone else can read this post as well.  So here is Kennedy's life:
-State Biology Test was this morning.
-My diet failed when she ate a donut today.
-She finished her test at 9:30am.
-She thinks she missed 17 questions.
-She is now trying to tell herself that state tests, and school in general, are pointless and have no eternal significance; therefore, they aren't important and aren't worth her worrying.
-Kennedy is now in advisory and just got back from lunch with Kat and Emily.
-Kennedy has to pee.  Intensely.  She thinks it was stupid for the teachers to give us all bottled water before the test today....it only made everyone have to pee.
-Kennedy is FREAKING PUMPED ABOUT THE YAC FIELD TRIP TOMORROW!!!!  She is a loser....
-Kennedy is now going to go countdown the days of school left....

She said toodles :)

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 :)
     Love, 
        Cam and Kenn

This picture kind of describes me and Cam..

"Let's take a poptart picture!!" 

Thank you Cameron Timmons....

This is us being cool and having a "straight face" looking at the camera....Cam's idea..

My life :)

Geeeeeez....

     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..
