What is a friend?

A friend is someone who gives you hugs.



A friend is someone who will get up at 5:30 in the morning with you just to watch the sunset.



A friend is someone who helps you dig a sand spur out of your foot.

A friend is someone who will climb up a giant sand dune with you...

Just so they can jump back down. Then climb back up and do it again.

A friend is someone who will put on a skin tight wetsuit just so they can swim in the 50 degree ocean water for 30 minutes, then get out and struggle for 20 minutes to get the wetsuit off.

A friend is someone who will pose in front of an old outhouse with you.



A friend is someone you can laugh with for hours on end.



A friend is someone who will run on the beach with you.




A friend is someone who will get out of the warm, wind-less car and mess up their hair so you can all get a picture on a giant chair together.



I miss being in North Carolina with my best friends.

Hurry up Summer.

So usually at the end of the school year I'm upset at the fact that I wont be able to see my friends everyday in class, but this year, I could really care less. I'm so over school and everything about it. Now that I can drive and have a car, I don't care that I wont be able to see them at school every day. I can see them whenever I want to, and at a way more convient time than 8 in the morning. I'm so ready for those summer days when I can sleep late, lay out all day, and hang out all night and do it again and again. School is such a stress-maker. I have been so stressed out about school lately, and I don't even know why. I'm just SO ready for it to be over for the summer. I've gotten to the point where I don't even care what I make on certain tests or assignments in some classes, because I know I'll either have an A average to exempt or use my "good faith" exemptions to get out of the final anyways. For example, I just raced through a Spanish test. I mean I'm fairly confident I made a low A or maybe a high B, but I honestly don't care about how I did on it because I plan on using my good faith exemption for Spanish. But oh well, whatever. I, like everyone else, just want school to be over. I'm sooooo ready for summer; no school, no stress, no worries.

Questions to ponder....

I love looking at these questions...  they make me giggle (:

If you actually go through and read all of the questions in the link I posted in my last blog, some of them really do make you wonder why those things are the way they are.

Prom..... took forever to get here, but it was over in a flash.

All little girls dream about prom at least once during their childhood. I remember when I was little I loved looking at prom dresses. When I went to a department store or dressy store, I would always look through the prom dresses and imagine myself in them. Even just a couple years ago at the end of my freshman year, I remember going through everyone's prom pictures on facebook and looking at everyone's dresses and hairstyles. Last year at the end of my sophomore year, I was a prom attendant so I had the opportunity to actually go to prom and serve punch and give out favors, so instead of going on people's facebooks to see their prom pictures, I actually got to see everyone's beautiful dresses and hairstyles at prom itself. I remember being so jealous that it wasn't time for my prom yet, I remember how anxious I was about it. It felt like it was never going to get here, and I was so scared that I would be let down because I had built it up so much in my mind. But before I knew it, I was finally a junior and prom was only 9 months away. Then Christmas came and it was only 5 months away. Then spring break was over, and it was only a short 2 months away. Then finally, the week of prom came and nobody could stop talking about it. I was starting to get so stressed (as I wrote about in my last blog). Prom has so many decisions to be made in such a short amount of time and it really sneaks up on you if you have a busy life like I do. I had no idea about all the time and money that goes into it. When you're a little girl admiring dresses and hair, you don't realize how much time and money it takes to find the perfect ensemble for yourself and your date. But, luckily, everything was ready in time :) And I was NOT dissappointed in the way prom turned out for me this year, I had just as much fun as I had always imagined having. I'm so excited for prom next year!

Seaside Seranade Stress

Prom is so soon, it's only like 15 days away. It's really starting to stress me out. Tyler has to go get his tux and I still haven't decided what color I want him to wear, I have to go get a part of my dress fixed, I have to find shoes to wear, I have to decide how I want my hair fixed, I have to either pick out or make flowers, we have to decide forsure what we're doing before and after prom, ahhhhhhh! I didn't realize that there was so much stuff to do and figure out! But it will all fall together in time...I hope.

Junioritis.

So I'm pretty positive that instead of senioritis, I have junioritis. Already. I don't even wanna get up in the mornings to go to school anymore. I've stopped fixing my hair everyday, most of the time I just throw it in a ponytail or put a headband in. I just feel like school is just a waste of my time at this point. I think a big part of that is being in AP US HIstory though, I seriously hate it. It's stressing me out so much. I'm just ready to get the AP Exam over with and for summer to get here. The only think I really like about school is seeing Tyler everyday, even if it's just for a couple of minutes. But sometimes he's in a bad mood and it just makes school seem that much worse. I can't wait to not go to school for a couple months. If I already have junioritis, I can't imagane how bad it's gonna be when I have senioritis....

SB '11!

I'm not going to write as much about Spring Break in this blog as I probably should, but it would take WAY too long to even begin to start telling you about how awesome it was and everything I did. But here I go!

So for this Spring Break, I went to Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina with my 3 bestfriends (Emily, Ann, and Erin) and Ann's mom. Kill Devil Hills is on the Outerbanks of North Carolina. it was about a 16 hour long drive! We stayed with Ann's mom's cousin and her husband. She showed us sooo much fun stuff to do and was an awesome chef for the week! Here's what we did all week:
Friday- Drive, drive, get lost, drive, get lost again, drive, drive! Oh, and went to the freezing beach (:
Saturday- Went to Cape Hattaras lighthouse, went to a beach, rode a ferry to Ocracoke, went to Ocracoke lighthouse, spent the day in Ocracoke, rode the ferry back to the Outerbanks, saw a double full rainbow!
Sunday- Went to church, Ann got an awesome donut, layed out, swam in the 50 degree ocean water with Ann in wetsuits, layed out again, watched the sunset, went back to the house and chillllllled.
Monday- Went to the beach, layed out, watched Emily build a sandcastle, swam in the cold water again to the point where my feet were so cold they started burning, watched the sunset, went back to the house and chilllllled.
Tuesday- Ate at FatBoyz, Emily/Ann/Connie got henna tattoos, drove to Duck, Corolla, and Curritick, went to Curritick Beach lighthouse, drove back to the house, went out with Emily/Ann/Erin, went shopping at Tanger Outlets, saw a thick rainbow and chased it to the beach, went back to the house and chilllled.
Wednesday- Watched the sunset on the pier, went back to sleep, went to the Wright's brother's memorial, got icecream at FatBoyz, went to the sand dunes, jumped down the sand dunes repeatedly, Emily faceplanted down the sand dunes, went back to the house, packed all of our stuff up, went back out with Emily/Ann/Erin, watched the sunset on the sand dunes, jumped down the sand dunes again, spit Ann's Frosty all over the floor at Wendys from laughing so hard, went back to the house, watched Burlesque!
Thursday- Drive, drive, drive, get lost in the Tennessee mountains, saw an old man fall into a ditch on the interstate, drive, drive, got back to Ann's, played baseball with apples, went home.

Well that's my trip to North Carolina in a nutshell..... It was a blast!
