Taking finals...

So Far I have taken:
Salvation History-97%
Honors Algebra-Grade not in yet
Honors Bio-grade not in yet
Not been so interesting...actually really boring

Nothing to tell the world..

So I didn't die, or anything terribly tragic, I just don't have anything interesting to tell the world. Plus, this week is finals week, so don't expect anything, I will be studying for finals. But, I am using my waiver to get out of Mr. Buttface's final! YAY! It is kinda sad that when I say Mr. Buttface everyone knows who I'm talking about...

Those movie moments...

My favorite part of life is those moments where life feels like the ending of a happy movie, where life is so good, it just couldn't get any better! When your face hurts from smiling. Why do those moments end?
My brother decided that he doesn't want to come back to Kamp this year. If I don't go, I would probably go insane. I'm thinking maybe I can take his spot? I don't know, my mom might say no. Yep, I am feeling kinda depressed for no apparent reason. The frosh retreat was AWESOME!! Oh my goodness, we had soooo much fun. There was adoration, and girl time, and singing and everything! Man, I was so wrong about my class!

So it might have been a while...

I have been soooo busy these past few weeks. The play went great, with a few exceptions of fainting audience members, costume emergencies and falling set, but we did manage to sell out every night! Wow, I mean this is crazy! I have been feeling really weird about the play though. I'm a freshman, one of three to make the play. I have the lead role, ad I've never been in a play before. There are a lot of things in m,y life I love, but I can't have all of them, and that makes me sad. Like drama, drumline, band, kamp, Schooner (Riggin) family, friends, a life. There is just so much that I want, and I want it forever, that I just can't keep. I don;t know how I'm going to do it. Wow, that was depressing. My biggest thing right now is that I have only made like 350 dollars towards going to kamp. I'm fairly sure I will lose my sanity if I don't go back every year. Although, I am really worried about going to K2, I will always feel like K-West is my home! Man I love kamp! This week I wasn't alowwed to wear any jewelry because of the play. I spent an hour and a half taking off my unrealy deal necklace, my all around bracelet, my anklets from kamp, and my purity necklace WITHOUT cutting them. Impressive I know, but I felt so weird without them on this whole week! Well, I should probably go to bed, probably.

Definition of manic=my life

We open in 3 days!! The miracle worker rules my life! I am excited but scared too. I don't feel like a really perform the role that well. I wish that I wasn't so nervous about it. Although it is an odd role. I can't act like another person, I have to act like a giant toddler. Also, at the very end I say "wah, wah" but it has to sound weird, almost guttural. They didn't sand down the top of the plat form that I have to crawl all over, so now i am covered in splinters. Yep, I've got dedication.

Did you borrow my sainity? If so, I'd like it back...

So, the Miracle Worker, yeah that's our play, all about Helen Keller. We open in 2 weeks. Guess who just quit the play? Oh, that would be Helen! Guess who her understudy is...oh yes, me!!! I am BEYOND stressed this week! With 2 science tests that are STUPID! Bible study, I'm lectoring, practice, drumline, oh yes, don;t I have a life? So note to all, If you borrowed my sanity, can I have it back? I'm sure all those who are around me on a regular basis would deeply appreciate it...Thanks

Drumline Pones all...!

Interesting story...so tonight was homecoming (which was the bomb.com) so drumline was playing. We were voted Fox 4's game of the week, so they covered our game. Can't help but point out that drumline got put on TV...and other spirit members didn't...drumline pones all. When we got back to the bus someone had backed into it and so our bus driver wasn't allowed to move the bus, and the cheerleaders bus was a witness. So she goes to tell the cheerleaders, they start cursing left and right, woe is me, I'm a cheerleader boo hoo...etc. She comes one to our bus, we were chill...we are used to bus problems (but that's another story) We found out, our awesome bus driver, Jennifer, played clarinet...this makes her infinetley cooler than she was. Now, I am laying at home and my arms hurt becuase our drumline leader/intrstucter (aka, the crazy brit :-) mades us go on cobra (that's a really easy , but tiring and fast song) for like 10 repeats! AHHH slidig the cymbals is way harder than it looks...plus they weigh 15 pounds. yep...end o story...I <3 homecoming!

What a week...

um wow...that's all I have to say. I am in the middle of attempting not to pass out from being tired. I got up at 5 this morning, got to school at 6:30, took a biology test. Went to my favorite class...cheered me up somewhat, went to math....bleh. Went to a doctor's appointment....bleh. Came back to school took another biology test and went to play practice and didn't get home till 7:30........I know that was supposed to be what a WEEK but my day was longer enough to be a week so I think I'm good........................ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....good night

When your heart feels heavy...

I have so much going on in life that I feel like there is no time to further my relationship with God, and to further myself as a person. I have homework, drum line, play practice, family, Clarinet! I wouldn't give any of it up (well homework is an exception) but it is just so much! My heart feels heavy, like each thing that I have to do is another peice of junk that is collecting at the bottom of my heart.
Today (yes today) We had the most amazing theology class. I love, love, love our teacher Mrs. Wertin, (she reminds me a lot of someone I really love and who is an influential awesome person in my life) . We were going through Abraham story, which seems like something not so moving. But what faith! Oh my goodness, Abraham was 100 years old, and God told him he would have a son! And to sacrifice that son, that he had waited so long for! She challenged us to look at ourselves and to ask ourselves, would we do that? We all want to say we would, but I know I'm not there yet. I love how when she teaches she compares the story to us, to herself, to the world. She makes everything make perfect sense.

Just one second...

Have you ever felt in life, like you just need to hit the pause button and catch up for a moment? Like there is so much being thrown at you that you need a few more minutes than everyone else? That's how I feel right now.
Why do good things last mere moments, while bad things last much longer? Right now I feel this way about a lot of things. Kamp is only 2 weeks out of my whole year, but I wish it was the other way around, the whole year was only 2 weeks out of my kamp. I wish I got to see my favorite people, WAY more often that I do. I want the good things to be there forever!
I am aware that I am really depressed sounding right now, so I think I'm going to stop before I scare/bore someone. Wow, what a life.

Gotta Love youth Group!

I hate the qoute "God will never give you anything you can't handle" because God will ALWAYS give you more than you can handle, because he knows you can't handle it alone--Fr. Matthew

Okay this is in bold for a reason! Because I love it! Youth group, which is only the best invention ever, has really helped me to stay close to God, in a time in my life where I would most likely stray from Him. Fr. Matthew is a really awesome priest and I kind of feel like I want to boycott all the masses he doesn't serve because he is just that awesome. Only other thing I did today was homework and have a discussion with Maggie about why it is or is not weird to name your Bible. You can tell that I enjoy naming things because my bible's name is Gerald. His name is that because I asked my brother to go get me my Bible and he said which one and I said Gerald. Everyone at school is naming their bibles too sooooo....yeah.

Also, random question...Ever heard that you aren't supposed to put anything on top of the Bible. Well is it ok to put a Bible on top pf another Bible? Awesome....yep that's it.

Maggie! Let's banana dance!

I was so excited today because Maggie came and we went to lunch. Before she even got here I managed to get her lost twice! We went to Red Robin...it was awesome! Came back and we were going to play on our snowboard swing...Maggie fails. Then she was flirted with by my brother and and got a tour of our house. We had an awesome discussion about my brothers inability to clean poop off his shoes and I was almost sprayed by a hose right when she was leaving. I'm pretty sure Maggie brings fun with her. Miss her already! Coolest song for today! I don't even remember what is was called but it was a mix of Viva la Vida and Love Story. Made of awesome! Also, just found out that our jazz band is playing viva la vida after Christmas... princess Sofia has pneumonia. Oh dear my life is crazy!

Princess Sophia!

Sophie is my new puppy! She is beyond adorable!

Weight: 2.1 pounds

Breed: Shi-Malt (shi tzu/ maltesse)

Sleeps: More than half the day

Hobbies: Trying to get herself killed by our other dog

Funny Story: This morning I woke up because Sophie had crawled up onto my pillow and was licking my ear and biting my earings. She has a really long tongue so I'm pretty sure she was touching my brain.

Pictures!

Can I go to school please?

Ahhhh! I have been sick this whole week and my mom, though I love her dearly, will not let me go back to school! I am missing sooooo much and I NEED to and WANT to get back to school! I am going to miss the football game and Ms. Tyler, the drum line teacher is absoloutly going to flip...something worse than a brit fit I'm sure! I'm horribly bored at home! HELP ME!!

What a week

So having blogger blocked n computer is really making it hard to keep it updated. So on wednesday we got a new puppy named Lola. She was a shi tzu and had a good weekend. I didn't have school on Monday and was going to spend the whole day with my dad. Then we found out that Lola had died. She had a congenital heart defect. I hate the way this sounds but she had a warranty and so we went to get a new puppy. Her name is Sophie and she is a 10 week old shi-malt. She is really tiny! She is black and white and naughty as all get-out! I love her to death. Not really sure how our 10 year old chihuahua-poodle mix thinks about her! I am really sad at the loss of Lola, but I lrecently learned in theology class that suffering is one way that God draws us back to him. So that's all I have to say....so yeah

If my day were a student, it would get an F

So yeah...not the best day! My computer wasn't working and so I took it to the media center. All that was wrong was the volume isn't working but they said the have to replace the motherboard and send it off to apple. So I'm stuck with a loaner...but it's better than nothing. Since they decided to block blogger and facebook on our computers, I have been avoiding it by not restarting at school. Undoubtedly, they will restart it and I will have to go back to using the desktop. Then I had a doctor's appointment, they looked at my knee...I am going to the orthopedic surgeon to get it looked at. Checked my heart, EKG tomorrow morning. Not good. My mom and I took out 18 year old cat to the vet, they pretty much told us she is on her last leg...so not cool.
This part of my day get's an A++
We went to Petland to get catnip and fiber for our oldest cat.We saw a cavalier king charles spaniel...so CUTE! We looked at her...she 1400 dollars. I put up a fight but my family just couldn;t afford her. The lady brought out an adorable little shit tzu and told us if we really wanted her, she would tell us the price. She was only 50 dollars, she is only 3 months. Someone bought her and a TON of stuff. Her kids had serious medical issues and the dog didn't work out. She brought her and all her stuff back. She said 50 because she wanted them to use the 50 dollars to buy a kennel. We got her! She is sooooo cute and her name is Lola! I love her to death and can't wait to put up a picture!

Be careful what you wish for...

So earlier today I said I hoped Bucklin would be gone and we would have a sub...I wished wrong! Bucklin was gone and we had Byron as our sub. At the beginning I thought it would be easy because we were playing basketball and it was fun and easy. Then we went to the weight room. 90 pull-ups, 100 walking low- lunges 6 reps, 100 bounce-back lunges with weights 8 reps, all together 600 push-ups, and worst of all...NO SHOWERS!! Ahhhh! I thought I was going to die! When we were doing lunges my knee-popped and he thought it was someone popping gum, I told him it was my knee and he made everyone run laps and i had to do it hopping on 1 foot! After all the girls were washing hair in the sink and using the hand blow dryers as hair dryers. We used about haf a bottle of spray body mist and had lunch after...coach Bucklin please come back!

What's your name again?

This is me sitting bored in math class. Michelle was sad that she hasn't made my blog yet so this is a shout out to her. So we have a lot of subs today because the seniors are on retreat today and a bunch of teachers went with them. So my sub for math is Mr. Young...the world's oldest sub. He has to be at least 400 years old. He had liver-spots the size of Africa and almost no hair. How ironic right...Mr. Young, worlds oldest substitute. So yes, nothing interesting happening in my life at the moment...obviously since my only source of entertainment is the irony of my subs name. Next I have PE...hopefully we have a sub because Bucklin is INSANE!! 90 bear-crawl push-ups....that hurts just thinking about it. So, I actually am getting out of this horribly boring class soon! Yay!
P.S. Maggie Gorrell! update your blog!

I'd PAY to see that!

So I was super excited because this weekend I got to talk to Maggie and Anna! I needed to study for my Salvation history test, so basically they got to listen to my notes. It was still really fun though. Later, I went to my brothers football game. Normallly, this would be highly boring since I don't understand football. However, this is interesting since my brother is 7 and his team all looks like little midgets on steroids with all their pads and such. While I was there, I found out that half time is longer than the whole game. So I began texting my friend Megan. She, of course, was at a volleyball game with all my other friends (for some reason I tend to befriend a lot of people who A. have a job and can't talk, or B. play volleyball and can't talk) So I decided to talk to Maggie, who was at a party based around a bouncy castle for little kids. I have to say, I would pay to see a bunch of college students in a bouncy castle! Then i went to a play, that ended up beig a musical, with my grandma. It was relatively funny but it was beyond hot it the theater. Today I went to mass (that's church is Catholic) Which was long because there was an old man behind me who was snoring. Then i went out to breakfast for grandparents day. And then came home, became grounded, and tried to make a really cool picture collage for the blog...it didn't work out very well but it's cool any way!

"Michael, don't live!"

Today I was in spanish class and we were learning about informal negative commands. AKA how to tell someone Don't do something. Our teacher decided to make class more fun she was going to not talk at all. So she put the word vivir on the board, which means to live. She changed it to a command and wrote Michael, no vivas. Michael and I, the only freshman in Spanish 2 start absoloutley cracking up. Of course the sophmores and Juniors in the class who answer every question with "Taco, taco" or "let the prodigies answer it!" So of course they don't get it. Our teacher writes on the board "I just told Michael not to live" And they of course think it's only kind of funny since the moments over. We are still cracking up though. She goes over and keeps writing and we keep laughing. She then writes Me=really insecure right now, since we are still laughing, and this only makes us laugh even harder. Best spanish class ever!

That's an unstable enviroment...

I'm sitting in biology and we have 45 minutes to study. I have been sitting here bored for 33 minutes before I got the idea to update. Before said realization I was studying and organizing my laptop files into folders. We are learning about atomic numbers and boring stuff I already know. Hence the title, an unstable enviroment. You'll only get it if you know atomic numbers. So, I have a play practice and thespian meeting after school today till 7. So this is probably my update for the day. I have to go before I get busted!

Maggie made me do it...

So I was going to go to homework and was typing in the URL in the address bar. I used the arrow and went down to go to my www.myhrw.com (my textbook) but missed and ended up on Maggie's blog. It's funny how long my computer can keep internet history! So I decide to read what I've missed and see that Maggie is:
A. Not doing her homework
B. Going to make potato soup
C. Failed at Potato soup
D. Is looking at Chuck Norris facts
This made me laugh and I decided I wanted some of my own. But first, I have a question. Why the heck is everyone obsessed with Chuck Norris, I mean last year it was Bob Saget, now Chuch Norris, who's next?
Libby's Fave Chuck Norris Facts
1. Chuck Norris can kill 2 stones with 1 bird
2.Some people wear superman pyjamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pyjamas
3.Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
4.Chuck Norris did in fact, build Rome in a day.
5. Chuck Norris can watch 60 minutes in 20 minutes
6.Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.
7. Behind every successful man, there is a woman. Behind every dead man, there is Chuck Norris.
So I was going to put more but I accidently closed my tab and now I'm too lazy to pull it back up and it's 10:00 and unlike some people, I have to sleep.

I dropped my sticks...

Today, (yes today) it was raining, which i generally wouldn't like except that I got to spend time in the chapel and I like it when it rains in the chapel. My first class of the day was English. We are making movies about short stories that we read. My group had this horrible story that was deppressing and doesn't even have a happy ending! Then I had house time, which is just about the greatest hing that happens in school ever. We just get this awesome break in the middle of the day. Except, we are supposed to have discussion days...but we don't. Then I had spanish. Michael and I are the only freshman and the sophmores and juniors keep calling us prodigy 1 and prodigy 2. It is getting kind of annoying. Then I had lunch, and then I had Jazz Band! I played my clarinet and stuff...it was cool. After I had drum line and we watched our recording of us doing our half-time show and then practiced. I came home and am currently doing homework while the sibs watch the office. I have discovered the joys of having a running commentary of my life. Also, shout out to Maggie, she reminded me to update the blog, soooooo thank you! Today, I also am really missing on people. I always feel like I'm saying goodbye all the time....which is not fun. So, now I'm going to go actually get something accomplished.

So there we were...

So I was sitting around talking to Katey today on tokbox. All I could think about was, "wow, I really don't want to do homework." So in an effort to avoid doing anything, I made a blog. So my life isn't that interesting, so I understand if I've already bored about half of the universe to the brink of insanity.
Ever had one of those days where you feel like doing nothing because your feet feel like lead and you are just really tired. That's how I feel today. I am not looking forward to going to school again on Tuesday, and I am not looking forward to doing all 152 math problems I have to do tomorrow. I also have a brazillion other things i should be doing.
I heard the qoute today, that life is about saying goodbye, and that you can't hold on. But the people who love you the most will make sure they come back to say hi. That just made me think about how many people or things I've had to say goodbye to in my life. I wonder sometimes what life would be like if I had stayed.
I ate ice cream and cake today, and stareted missing Kamp. For anyone who has never been to Kanankuk, I just can't describe how amazingly awesome it is! I love everything about it and am sooooo blessed to be able to go each year. I am also blessed with all the awesome people i get to meet. These are true men and women of Christ who are there to talk and support you, and I can only hope to be as amazing as they are.
So now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch bride wars.
Love Libby
