sad face :(

So I didn't get on the blog yesterday and it was a huge shame to me. My whole family is disappointed in me and they are thinking about adopting me out to another family. Gotcha! But i wasn't joking about the first part where I said I was really disappointed in myself because I really am. I was on a really huge streak where I was getting on everyday and then I just had a day where I was getting on and I was reading all the other blogs that we follow and right as I was about to start my parents told me that I had to go to bed, I was thinking about doing it in bed on my laptop but I was really tired so I fell asleep. Now I feel bad that I am making excuses.

I went to my freshman orientation to day and I had a ton of fun. My group leaders were really cool. One of them was named Martha and she was really nice. They kept relating things to them and it made it really comforting to hear that the teachers don't care if your late your first few days and made me realize that most of the things I'm worried about, all the other people will be worried about them to. really little things like stressed about how much homework there is going to be and scared that you don't know where to go and you don't know if you are going to have any people you know in your class and all that jazz. And now after comparing classes with everyone and taking a tour of the school I'm feeling a little more confidant. I have weight training and I'm happy to get my muscles going again! So we did a bunch of fun activities like this game where you put your name tag on the back of your pants so no one can see your name and then you all stand in a circle and one person stands in the middle. the person in the middle picks a person and that person has to say some one elses name and that person had to say someone elses name and so on and so forth and all the while the person in the middle was trying to tag the person who's name was called before the person says someone elses name. If that makes any sense. I think it does at least but I did play the game and it was me who was explaining it so...

We also took a tour of the school dressed in different outfits, we were supposed to be fighter pilots in "flight school". ha ha, get it? No? oh well, go look it up on google -SYDNEY!!!

So then after we went to orientation we had cross country and I had a BLAST! its really fun and to add to that I love to run. I don't think I have ever realized it but the actual running is fun. Crazy as it seems I like feeling the pain in your legs and knowing that you can endure it to be the best (well not quite) and feeling like they are the strongest things in the world. And then afterwards when you stop running and feel amazing. like you can do anything in the world. That was just my little speech for the day, blurb as Sydney would call it.

I just wanted to thank grace for giving me some books to read, I'm really looking forward to read life as we knew it because i remember how you told me it was really good! And Sydney I think that I'm going to reread the chronicles of Narnia just for you because I've only read the first 3 or 4. So I'm exited for that because i just finished another 750 page book soooooooo I will read some of the books that grace got for me and theni will read the chronic- WAHT chols of Narnia. From SNL. did no one see that one? jeez tough crowd

So I also went to Zoe's house in between the orientation and Cross country and we went to panaras and I got a salad which was delish. (even though it made me kind of sick when i was running) but that was really good. Well that's just about it for today

Don't feed the wild animals!

ahhhh!!!! Mr. Pibb and Red Vines = crazy delicious!!!

sydney's friend, i love your references. and high school (which is what you're talking about, pardon me if i'm wrong) will become easy. The first one or two days are difficult, but after that you get into the swing of things. Just don't worry about it!

Ummm... just for the record, I actually didn't get the joke with the flight school and whatnot... maybe it's just me... in which case, this is quite awkard.
