Hooked on Phonics!!

short little update

So, school's started, and it's already really hard. Yeah, i know "junior year's supposed to be ur hardest!" well it's true... it's really hard. Just because i'm only taking 3 cure classes doesn't mean it's not hard! well... yeah so we had our family birthday party (yeah karaoke!) and it was great! i ended up with over $300, a new bag, a forensics book, and my girl (one of my all time favorite movies)... that's really all i have time to update on... sorry!! .:*SUZY*:.

Longest Update Ever!!

WARNING: THIS WILL BE A REALLY REALLY LONG POST
In case you're in a hurry, I've separated it into about 6 sections

Going to Dallas for my Dad's inauguration:
My dad's the president now!! We had tons of fun! His medical association elected in the president, so yeah he's all important and stuff now lol. We went to Dallas for his inauguration thing, and Mellie, Larry, and Jay came along. We stayed in a really nice suit... two stories to be exact :)... complete with a sauna and steam room. It had 2 bed rooms, a dining room, a small bar arena, and entryway, 3 bathrooms, and a living room with a huge sectional sofa. I felt like a princess or something! Oh, and everyday, on our floor, they had a bowl of apples. Jay had one or two ;) ha ha Umm yeah, so that's enough about the room. while we were there, we went to eat at the magic time machine. very fun. When we first arrived, we had to give our name to the hostess/Wonder Woman, then she took us to our table, located in a small hut. Our waiter was dressed like Harry Potter, and when he came to greet us, he asked us who Larney was. We were all so confused, Larney, Who's Larney? Well turns out that Wonder Woman had bad handwriting, and it actually said Larry. So, for the rest of the trip, we called Larry Larney. It was so fun. Then he took our drink orders. Everyone except me got tea (i had water). So, since that was too boring for Mr. Potter, he asked me if i'd like an orange slice in my water, then a lemon, a lime, a pinapple,and or a cherry. I said yes, and turned out he actually brought me a lime, lemon, and orange, but bc the bar tender was mean that night, he wouldn't let him get me a pineapple or cherry for my water. So then he made some rude remark about the water girl having to be different, blah blah blah. As we were following him to the salda bar in the car, we passed by the bar, and he told me to make a face at the bar tender, who wasn't in there at the time, and yeah it was fun. Also while we were in Dallas, the convention had the exhibit hall as usual where the exhibitors got more creative, as usual, and had fun things like staplers and waterbottles, and patient gowns, and stuff like that. we had like 7 or 8 bags full of stuff by the time we left the hall. Later the convention also had a casino night... my personal favorite thing about these conventnions. All of us started out playing Black Jack, but Jay and I (after almost losing all our money) decided to move on and go to Roulette, while the rest stayed behind and played black Jack. I did surprisingly well! Roulette is deffinently my new favorite game. I had a around 2 thousand dollars that i had won, but since i didn't know that they were giving prizes away for the most money, i bet all but like 200 dollars in the last roll. Well, my dad ended up getting like 2nd place over all with the about of money won with like $2400 or something like that, and won like $50 to On The Border(which he gave to Diana, bc she loves that place). Keep in mind this is all fake money, and we started out with $2000 dollars. Through the whole trip Jay was the bar tender each night in our hotel room. We had to host a hospitality suite each night and have snacks and drinks for everyone. Well, i personally had like 3 shirley temples each night, while everyone else had their alcohol. Oh and one night, after everyone had left our room, a lady comes in (we knew she was with our group) completely drunk, and takes us to her room down the hall where there was another party going. Everyone in there either was drunk or drinking. It was insane. As u walked in you could just smell the alcohol in the air. Anyway, so this lay was like almost running into the walls as she's walking down the halls. It was hilarious. She probably told us about her trip to Italy like 15 times. So yeah, that was an interesting night. I think that's really enough about this trip.

Mystery Trip
So, my mom and i decided a while back that we wanted to go on a trip somewhere this summer. Well we initially decided to go to California, then we thought it'd be fun to go just anywhere. I told my mom that i wanted her to surprise me. The only rules were that we couldn't go anywhere she had already been, or anywhere I had already been, and I didn't want to know where we were going until i got to the airport. Well, the day came, i had no idea where I was going, and we got up and left the house and headed to houston, where we got on the shuttle thing that took us to the Northwest air terminal. Well, don't let the name of the airline fool u... we went to the complete opposite side of the country, to Main Vermont and New Hampshire. We flew from Houston, TX to Detroit, MI, and from Detroit, MI to Manchester, NH. Once we were there my mom and i drove everywhere. We went to the Vermont Country Store, drove up Mount Washington, went to Ben and Jerry's, and i had lobster like 3 times while we were in Maine. I love lobster!!! (Jay, u would've died on this trip... literally) lol... umm yeah, so that's pretty much all of what we did. Where ever I go, I see someone I know. I could be across the country, and still see someone i know. this was evident when we were flying back home. we were in Detroit and I saw a guy from my Chemistry Class, Tyler, and his twin brother, Travis. They were flying back to houston on the same plane. I know... creepy! :)

Weddings
Ok, so i had something else written up for this part, but in light of Jay never speaking to me again, i thought i'd change it... so here's the thing: Bealio is now married!! and Gje is now married!! So yeah... it's exciting.

Washington DC
This was the most amazing experiance of my entire life, and i will forever remember every detail of the trip. The friendships i made while i was there will last a lifetime, or at least i hope so, because in the 10 days I was there, i became closer to those people that i have anyone else i've ever met. I flew from College Station to Dallas, where i had a like 2 hour layover. Once in Dallas,I had gotten a muffin from a little store thing, and a bottle of water, and was sitting at my gate eating my breakfast, and i saw a woman and her daughter come and sit down. She was going to be an unaccompanied minor, so she had the giant envelope thing with all of her ticket info and stuff in it, and her mom was hugging her and almost in tears, but the girl kept looking at me then saying something to her mom about me. She looked like she may be old enough to be going to the same confrence as me, but i wasn't sure. Well, a few minutes later, another lady, this time accompanying a young boy to the gate came along. This time, the other lady and her daughter came over to talk to this boy and lady. Well, turns out that they were both going to the same LeadAmerica confrence as i was, and i had just made 2 new friends. Chelsea and Jake, both in middle school, and I sat talking about the confrence, and what we thought about having to leave our parents and stuff until they had to board (since they're both under 16 they had to wear the little thing... lol it was funny). Chelsea's mom came and sat next to me until it was time for me to board. She then gave me a huge hug, and told me to watch out for her little darling. Chelsea and I are like the same person almost... it was kinda creepy, but i didn't actually see her but like 3 times the entire trip... kinda sad. JAke and I talked some, but i didn't really see him either, bc they were in middle school. So, as soon as we landed in DC we had to get out luggage, and then meet the leadamerica people, who we couldn't fince, but we found another girl from tx goingto the confrence w/ us, Sally (she's from Dallas). After all of the drama with finding the people, we sat down, and met like 4 or 5 other people going to our confrence, including Danielle from Las Vegas! She's fun!! umm.... then when we got to George Town, we met Emily and Halley, had to rush to eat dinner, and then change into professional clothes. Well, when i went up to my room, i met Erica... my roommate... from San Antonio!! (i added this picture after i was done posting... u'll understand later... just keep reading!)

I know ur probably thinking, man there's a bunch of people from TX there, when infact there were only about 20 of us out of the 420 kids. I was just lucky. Well, Erica had been there for like 2 hours, and had already started planning her trip home. she'd changed her ticket and everything. Well, after the opening ceremony and stuff she decided to stay... FLASHBACK!! when we first got changed into our prof. clothes, we had to rush downstairs to find all 17 of our group members... i was in group L (L FOR LOVE, BABY!!!) So, here i am, screaming L at the top of my lungs while everyone else i doing the same for each other their letters (a-p) for C.S.L.C (aka HighSchool) and then a-f NJ MiddleSchool. craziness... it took me like 5 or 6 minutes to find them, but I eventually did. I didn't know anyone in my group... we just started counting off, i was L10, until we had everyone. Well, once we had everyone, we had to walk up our favorite little 1 and a half mile long trail uphill to the Auditorum. It was crazy (but i did lose 10 pounds!!) lol... so we're walking up all of this, dying in the 100 degree and humid weather in our suits, and getting to know people. I met one of my new favorite people on that trip... Caitlin. Caitlin is from NewJersey, and she lives on a farm. HOW COOL IS THAT??!! Yeah, and she raises chickens, and sheep, and cows... and I love HER!! She's A-Mazing! She's the one that's on my right, in the white shirt. Kaye's in the brown, and JoJo's in the red... but we'll get to them soon enough... or maybe i should just post a few pictures and tell u alittle about each person... hmm... that's sounds good (especially since i've been updating this perticular post since june 26th) So then let me tell u about Kaye. She lives in VA, and loves soccer... it's like her life lol. Oh, and Motion City Soundtrack, and we deffiently sing the song about the velcro shoes lol... i know sounds weird, but yeah, i love her and she's so Y-AMAZING!! JoJo aka JOJO the HO from VA, Yo!! as we like to call her, is so fun. She got some bad news while we were there, so just pray for her please. While we were there, she lost her gelatto virginity w/ me lol long long story... ok.. so here are a few more pics:
This is Alexa... She lives like 10 minutes away from my cousin Jenny in New York... She's absolutely crazy!! She and Kevin (from Illinois) had a little dance that they made up, and it's the most hysterical thing i think i have ever witnessed... go to my myspace to see it, bc u will crack up laughing. Kevin and i didn't really get to talk all that much, bc he was hanging out with other people in our group, but he's deffiently an amazing investigator. He solved our entire crime scene simulation!! He's awesome! this is a pic of their dancing:







Yeah, they're cool! Kevin's face during all this is the best part, but u can't really see it. And this is Lauren and Ben... one of the "couples" that formed within our group. Ben, from FLORIDA!!, although he's like the biggest flirt/player out of the entire group was a deffinent sweetheart, and i'll love him forever. Yes, i did cry when i left all these people, but soon u will meet the person i cried most over. This other lovely person is Lauren. She's from VA, and can fit an entire piece of cake into her mouth, shown below:
Yes, and she will steal ur cake while you've gone to get something to drink (especially if your name is Ben) ha ha that was a highlight of the trip... Fun meal times!! And this is Greg everyone. I have fallen in love with this guy. Like seriously he's amazing lol. Over the course of the 10 days, we got to know each other very well, along with the circle of friends that u will see in a minute. Greg lives in Georgia, has lived in many other states and England, and has a huge house that i will be moving into very soon (if only parents would allow lol). Greg was deffiently one of my best friends on the trip, and will remain one of my best friends for the rest of my life. (in case u havn't solved the puzzle... Greg is the one I cried most over when we had to leave. At the airport we had planned on meeting up, bc we had an hour between the time his plane left and the time i would get to the airport, but becuase he flew delta and i flew american, we didn't get to see each other again. I cried when we put him on the shuttle bus to the airport, and cried again when i found out we couldn't see each other again before he left, and again when he called me to tell me he could see my gate, and again when i saw his plane take off... it was the sadest thing ever). We had so much fun... he and dani's little relationship was the other "couple" that formed during our trip. Here's the circle of friends i was talking about: From me clockwise it's Liz, Greg, Melissa, Dani, and Lauren. These people were some of my favorites. I just can't explain how much these people mean to me!
This is L-Don... he's a PIMP from Maryland!! lol Like seriously he had like 5 girls around him at all times. It was crazy, and we all love him tremendously. The first thing that set him apart from everyone was that he ran into a stop sign (which then started our entire group running into and tripping over stuff on accident the rest of the trip). No he didn't just brush by it.. not he like walked smack dab into it. Like it wacked him in the face and everything. It was HILARIOUS!! all we heard was the thud of his head on the pole lol. It was so great! He also sings. He prefers either anything country (which is weird since he's from Maryland), or Unfaithful by Rhianna lol, which became his theme song for the rest of the trip. He's so great! lol Collen's on the left and Dreuh is on the right. These are the coolest people of Group L. Collen's from PA and Dreuh's from VA (yes we did have quite a few people in our group from VA) They both run CrossCountry. Collen's also a Cheerleader and an excellent Interrogator (she wants to be a lawyer, and i've already told her she's mine!) lol and Dreuh's also a soccer star. I just love them to death!!! :)
Mike and Kevin and Union Station on one of our fieldtrips or whatever. Mike's from Connecticut lol. That's pretty much all i know about him... he didn't talk much to me. Oh, and he thinks i'm "chill"... yeah, weird i know... but his laugh was deffiently contagious, and i couldn't stop laughing after he started lol. Here's a picture of the lovely group L Ladies. Aren't we gorgeous!!?? let's see are there any of them i haven't talked about... hmmm OH SARAH!!!! here's pic of just the 2 of us:
Sarah my love thinks that I have the greatest iPod music selection ever, and is now "talking to" Nate, the hottest of the TLs (team leaders). It's kinda illegal, but yeah, they aren't doign anything so yeah. Sarah is the cutest thing ever... she snorts when she laughs, and she's from WV. it's crazy... long story.. umm yeah she's so hilarious!! she and ben had this thing, but yeah that's over now, and it's lauren and ben now (plus sarah had a bf back home, and yeah it was sad). So that's all the girls at least let's check out the guys: these are our boys... ben, greg, l-don, mike, and kevin. Oh, our TL Niki (the one in the navy shirt in the picture of the Group L Girls) totally had a crush on him, and it only became apparent at the end but yeah... long long story, and it's kinda gross. yeah, so that's everyone... here's a pic of the whole group... it's our last one that we ever took together:
I miss these people so much!! I don't know how i ever lived with out them! We became as close as family! yeah, it's crazy how close you become when ur forced to live with people for such a sort amount of time. I wouldn't trade those 10 days for anything. I just wish we could've had more time together. So, that's all for this post... congratulations if u actually sat here and read this entire thing with out stopping, bc it took me over a month to actually sit down and write it down! so yeah... luv y'all .:*Suzy*:.

My Daddy

I'm off 2 Dallas!! My dad's becoming the president of his medical association. So yeah... we have lots of things to do. I'll post all about it when we get back on sunday... ♥ .:*Suzy*:.

LONG UPDATE!

it's been a long time... i know. SORRY!! well, there's been a lot of stuff going on, and well i've frankly been busy! School... wow that was a long time ago. So i had exempt my final for English, and emily had exempted her 4th period final too, so we went and got lunch at Potato Shack, and then went to the park to eat it.... and of course swing on the swings... so much fun! Well, a few weeks before school ended, we recieved an invitation to my cousin, Taylor's graduation. So, i asked my mom if we were gonna go, but there's one catch... he lives in Indiana. So, naturally i'm always up for a roadtrip... just not necessarily with my grandmother (i love her and all, but it's just not the most fun thing to do). So, my mom talked to my aunt mellie and my grandmother, Moomaw, and asked them if they would like to go as well, and we all decided that it would be great to go and surprise our cousin Trina (taylor's mom). My mom had one think holding her back... I got out of school the day before the graduation, and it was going to take us 2 days to get there by car. So, being the problem solver i am, i told her that i would just exempt the finals on that day(french and chemistry). Well, ends up that i didn't even have to take the final for Chemistry, bc i was commended on my TAKS test in Science. So i only had to take a 20 question multiple choise test, that monday, and then just exempted French, bc i had the grade to. So, we left then for Indiana on that thursday, and arrived in Mephis, Tennessee that night. My mom, being the weirdo she is, decided that we would all drive by Elvis' Graceland... so not impressive at night (except for the multi-colored lights on every tree in the front yard... very classy... NOT!!!) So yeah, Mellie rolled down the window and started singing Love me Tender... Hilarious lol. And we got to cross this extremely beautiful bridge to get on the other side of the Mississippi River. It was all lit up. So pretty! so yeah, the next day we went all the way to Indiana, and found our hotel, got dressed, called Trina, and told her where we were. She completely freaked out and didn't believe us, but when we met her up at the school for graduation, she nearly wet her pants she was so excited. Taylor was really amazed that we would drive all that way just to surprise them. It was fun! Plus, it turned out that Audrey was graduating from 7th grade that night too, so we got to see her as well. Audrey is Taylor's sister. But yeah, it was so fun. When we got back, i spent a lot of time just hangin out with my bud Jacob! he left for camp though the same day i started summer school and stuff. So i was invited to be a part of the BHS Scholar Academy. The standard that u had to meet as that ur PSAT score was high enough where if boosted a few points, you could be a National Merit Scholar. I scored a like 167 or sumthing like that, and to be a NMS in Tx, u have to score like a 214 or something like that. Well, as of now i feel like the stupidest one in the class. Seriously, my score has decreased by like 30 points! it's horrible! anyway, i'm basically just trying to make it through to learn a little bit more about how it works so that i can do well on the SAT. So, yeah, the suffering continues. I started this class (BHS Scholar Academy) in June 5, the same day i started summer school for Health. I was just trying to get ahead so that i wouldn't have to take it my senior year (technically i have enough credits right now to be considered a Senior, but i'm not going to graduate early, bc i havn't taken enough of the core classes). So yeah, i'm only 4 classes away from graduating early, but i don't want to. Anyway, i'm just rambling now... hmm... oo ok so i finished health last thursday (June 8), so now i'm just waiting 'til the second session starts next monday so that i can take Speech and get that out of the way. Next summer i'll probably take like government or something... not sure yet. Well... then on Friday i went to Dallas to visit my favorite person ever... JAY!!!! :) he was in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (which is probably one of my new favorite musicals... bc it's great!) It was AWESOME! The guy that played Joseph, Eric, had an amazing voice (and an amazing technicolor dreamcoat! ha ha). it was awesome! seriously! So yeah... anytime u have to opportunity to see it... it's a definent suggestion on my part! So, this week i get to see Jay AGAIN! we're going up to Dallas for my daddy's anaguration thing, which is a huge deal, and Jay's coming to celebrate with us (and help by being a bartender-ish guy w/ dd lol, and i have to be a waitress-ish person). So yeah, it will be really fun, especially since one night we get to have a Casino Night!!! i love it bc u get fake money to gamble with! lol it's great. so yeah, i'll be there from wednesday to sunday. Then, i come back and start summer school for Speech, then Kurten VBS, the most fun week of the whole summer. Then after that, my mom and i were supposed to go to California, but i don't know what we're doing now. We were gonna go on like June 30 or sumthing, and come back on like July 5 or 6. So yeah, i don't know. Then we have Grace VBS, and then like a week off before i got to Washington DC for the Congressional Student Leadership Confrence. I get back from the August 6, and i'll be 17 then!! HOORAY FOR BIRTHDAYS!! lol Then i start school on the 16th. So yeah... insanely busy Suzy! lol So i'll try to update on all the stuff that's coming up, but it might take me awhile. Well, Thanks for reading this insanely long post lol... i'm sure it was really boring lol. So yeah, i'll post at ya later! :) .:*Suzy*:.

I GOT MY LICENSE!!!

i finally got my driver's license!! so totally excited, u have no idea!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! so, i made my mom a bowl at U-Paint it, and well, we got a call today, and they said that there was a malfunction, and my bowl was unrecognizable. So, i have to go in and make a new one, free of charge. sad, now my mom won't get her present. Well, i'm off 2 em's in a bit for our family mother's day dinner thingy. So, i'll post again later. BYE!! .:*Suzy*:.

P.S. i just got my papers in, so i'll have my license tomorrow!! :)

Prayer Request

I found out some bad news on Wednesday about some of my friends. Please pray for them, i can't really go into detail. Also, pray for one of my other friends. This friend is not doing well, and it's possible something bad could happen, so please pray for them, bc i just don't know what to do anymore. I've been praying for them, but it's just getting worse. So, please. The power of pray is amazing, and now more than ever it's needed for my friends. Thank you so much everyone! suzy

Upcoming Events

Ok, so i'm like the busiest person i know at the moment. This week is my first Pals event! it's a banquet honoring all of the senior Pals that are graduating this year. kinda nervous, bc they make the new Pals do crazy stuff, (and i don't want to scare them off!) lol. Anyway, i have that, and a piano recital. Finals start in like 18 days for us, so only like 22 until the end of school! In June i'll be in summer school (for health), and the Bryan High Scholars program. It's an invitation only program, (i got a really high score on my PSAT, so they want me to do it) where i'll be learning better ways to take the SAT and ACT. Then i'll be gone for a week for my dad's presidential inauguration for TOMA (another reminder for JAY!!!!!). VBS is in there too, the week after that, and then it's July. I'll be in Washington DC the last week of july into the first week in August (my birthday!!!) for the CSLC. Then like 10 days after that i'm back in school! Summer's going to be way too short. And i'll spend half of it in school! Also, there's a mission trip to Tennesse July 8-14. And my parents wanted to go to Wyoming this summer, so i might be going there for like 3 days after i got to DC. This is crazy!!! My schedule is almost completely full, and i will have like 4 days to spend w/ my friends. I should have my license by this summer, so that will be good. I finished all my driver's ed last week. YEA!!! So i have to get my license asap! ok, well i'm going to go and get ready for the day. This post was completely pointless! oh well. Have a GREAT day everyone!!! .:*Suzy*:.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!

I Don't Think That I Have Stated This Yet....

I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!!!!!!!

So there ya go!

This week was TAKS... the most boring and stupid thing ever. There standardized tests (which i think are completely unnecessary). Anyway, after we finished we got to watch Forrest Gump... just because. lol I got to read a few magazines and get my reading in for the weekend. so i'm free to do nothing (except a bit of ZYM stuff for the newsletter). We're going bowling on Sunday, so that'll be fun, and yeah. that's about it. Nothing too terribly exciting has happend. Oo actually... this is big news... ATTENTION: JACOB HAS FINALLY GOTTEN A GIRLFRIEND!!! it's a miracle... i know. lol jk but yeah, he's extremely excited. her name is Emily, and she's a freshman. (no, it's not Emily my cousin, it's another one!) So yeah, i think that's all now. bye! .:*SUZY*:.

WHOA!!!

Ok, so sorry everyone! so much has happend, and i don't even know where to begin. You probably don't even bother reading this anymore. O well.. SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED! well... here ya go:
Awana Games- We got 2nd!! (out of 3 but who cares!) It was really fun, until i pulled a muscle in my finger lol, and had to sit out of 2 of my events. It hurt so bad! Coming home was really fun. In the back of the bus Andrew, Emily, Sarah, and I were laying on the floor (side note: the games were in houston.. lol so we had to wake up extra early and stuff), and took a nap all the way home. I had like 5 bean bags that i used for a pillow lol... it was sad.. like my hand was wedged in between Andrew's feet, and my other arm was like flopped over my head, and emily slept on her side and listened to her iPod, and sarah and andrew's heads were at the other end. It was surprisingly comfy! lol Anyway, yeah, so we did pretty well.
Dad- So my dad had surgery after finishing his chemo. He's doing great! He's back at home, and everything's fine. 50 million times better than last time. so yeah.
School- School's almost out for the Summer!!! I can't wait! I MADE PALS!!! i'm so excited! PALS is this class/club that's through the school that i get to work with the special needs kids, and some elementry school kids, and stuff like that. It's also a class where i'll be learning about psychology and stuff. I'm so excited! Mitchell and Katie made it too, so that will be awesome. they're 2 of my friends... obviously lol. Mitchell i just met when I went to a confrence at a&m. The conselors nominated us to go, and so a few of my friends and I were chosen and went. It was a day off of school, and very very fun. lol and I got to meet Mitchell! :) he's awesome. I've also been asked to run for junior class president. I have to stop by Ms. Donelly's (i think that's how u spell it) room and talk to her about it, but i think i'm going to. I'll get to help out my school!
ZYM- we started a newsletter! Kelsey and I have been getting together and writing it. This month, we weren't very motivated, so it kinda sucks lol. (sorry!) So, Kelsey and I have become pretty good friends, and so have Danielle and I. It's nice getting to expand the whole good friends title to encompass (i think that's the word i'm looking for) more people! Matt and I've been talking about lately too. He and I've become a lot closer too. I love having close friends that I can talk to about anything and trust that they won't just turn around and tell everyone else. It's really great.
Church- So, i've kinda joined chior! lol it's really fun, and i love being able to sing w/ these people, and lead other people in the congregation (spelling?) in worship. It's awesome.
Self Image- So, i've decided to change my whole outward appearance, bc i deffienetly don't like what I see, and i don't think that it's glorifying to God either. So, I'm changing everything. It will take a while, but just fair warning to everyone.


So, that's about it! I'll try to be a more regular poster. lol that's funny... poster! ha ha! anyway, yeah. bye!! .:*Suzy*:.

it is kinda creepy!

umm... so that's really all. umm i guess i'll update when there's more to update about! bye! .:*Suzy*:.

Annie Get Your Gun

WOW!!! I never realized that i knew so many chior people! Well, they did a marvelous job! They did the musical Annie Get Your Gun (obviously... title!), and it was really really good! EVERYONE SHOULD GO SEE IT!!! It shows tomorrow and sunday, so go! Man, i wish i was playing Winnie Tate! ;) lol right mary? anyway, it was so awesome. Umm... so yeah that's pretty much all i have to say! .:*SUZY*:.

Sadie

So this whole Sadie thing... kinda weird. Well, Jacob and i are goin as friends, so it'll be fun to have him there. i just thought i'd post that! oo and we have a new calf!!! it kinda makes larry, my uncle, mad lol, but it's very cute (supposedly). as soon as i get up there, i'll take a picture and post it (along with a lot of others that need to be put up here)... ttyl!! .:*Suzy*:.

OPPINIONS PLEASE!

Ok, so everyone, i kinda need ur oppinion on this. A few weeks ago, my sister, Diana, and i watched a lifetime movie about these two women that own a "village" for abused children. After seeing what those kids have gone through (it was all a true story), if really touched me, and made me think that i may like to change what i want to do. I mean for the past 5 years i've wanted to be a chef, and before that it was a vet (but that changed soon after my grandmother died). When i wanted to be a vet, my grandmother did everything she could to help me learn about what it's like to be a vet. she took me to the A&M vet school for this walk through type thing, where u take a stuffed animal that's sick, and the vets take care of it. After she died, i changed my mind, and i'm not exactly sure why. Then when i decided i wanted to be a chef, i think it had to do only with that fact that i enjoy cooking. I've always that that i work best under pressure, but lately, i've been put under so much pressure... well there've been alot of things goign through my mind, and i can't handle it. So, now i've considering pediatric psychology, and then going to work for this company "ChildHelp USA", the one that was featured in the movie. It's a great organization that takes care of the kids. I love the kids. Teaching wise though, i don't think i could handle any younger that like 8 or 9. I don't know, but soon i will be filling out college applications, and i need to know what i should do. I just don't know anymore. Now, i'm even thinking i may not want to go all the way to new york yet either. I've kinda been considering staying in texas (but i'm not going to A&M). I know i know, this goes against everything i've been working towards for years, but i dunno anymore. so just please give me your thoughts on this, and let me know if u think of any other fields of study i might need to think about. thanks!!! .:*Suzy*:.

PSAT scores!!!

Ok so, i got my PSAT scores back, and even though they don't count... i did a pretty good job!! i got a 166. On the scoring sheet it tells to like what the range of scores your could expect from each of the sections on the SAT, and if i took the lowest number, i'd make like a 1400... not bad at all!! :) except for the whole, now i'm having to live up to my full potional as a student (bummer!!!). so yeah, big time change warning everyone!! lol. Oh! also, on the scoring sheet from the PSAT they give me fields of study to consider... here are mine: funderal sevice and mortuary sciences, cosmotology and other personal grooming, and culinary arts. HOW RANDOM IS FUNERAL SERVICE DIRECTOR AND MORTUARY SCIENCES?!?!?! needless to say, i will not be taking their advice on that one, but culinary arts is deffinently on my list. :) anyway, so that was the excitement the past couple days. I still havn't deicided if i'm going to Sadie or not... if i do, i'd need a date, and i'm not sure about that whole situation, but whatever. so yeah, that's that! oo and as a follow up to the bomb threat thing... the investigation into looking for the threatener... it was an 8th grader at Sam Rayburn, who claims another student told him to do it... stupid little 8th graders... so GRRRR!!! so now the kid's arrested... in 8th grade!!! What was he thinking?!?! anyway, so that's the end of my rambling. ttyl!!! .:*Suzy*:.

sorry it's been so long!!

Hey guys! i know it's been like forever since i've posted, and for that i'm really sorry. I went to franklin on saturday and spent the day with mellie, mom, larry, moomaw, maggie, and the cows. it was great! Having the cabin up there really helps. The only downside is that my phone doesn't work unless i stand on top of the tractor and hold my phone high in the air, or i stand on top of hay bails. Anyway, well then suday dd and i went to go see cheaper by the dozen 2 after church and playing video games. mucho fun-o! Then today, we didn't have school, so i went to lunch with mary and emily. It was really nice getting to spend time with them again, but yeah. we each got our own meal and then order 3 desserts that we shared. we finished everything except for like 3 bites of the chocolate mousse cake (which wasn't my favorite... but the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake and the choclate lasgana were both delicious!). Afterwards i came home, and cleaned my room, and did some laundry. My room is looking so much better, but i still have like 10 more license plates to hang up. Then it shall be at least 51% done over all... I'm still looking for movie posters... from recent movies... that i can buy or get for cheap. If u know of any let me know! i've been looking online and the cheapest ones i found were like $17.00... i'm not really digging on that. So please let me know. Well... tomorrow is school, and i get to find out how i did on the tests and quizzes i took friday. I had 2 tests, 3 quizzes and a food lab. All vital to the out come of my grades. I also found out my class rank. I'm 63 out of 974 kids. not good. i need to deffinently be higher, so i'll have to actually start studying now :(. i guess i'll live though. Well, i guess i'll go to sleep now. bye!!! .:*Suzy*:.

THE BIG BANG THEORY... sorta

ok, so school started yesterday... insteringly long, but whatever. It was ok. Then today happend.... OMGOSH IT WAS INSANE!!! well, first off, i went through 1,2,3, and got to 4th period. We were workin on our narratives for gomyaccess.com (it's a thing we do in english). Well we've been there for like 45 of the 50 minute classes, and the fire alarm goes off. So Coach Pier (my teacher) tells us to get our backpacks and go outside. So i got up got my backpack, didn't even log off my computer, waited for brittany and went outside. All the while, we were asking her if she knew about it and stuff and she hadn't, so here we were outside for like 15-20 minutes waiting til we could go back inside, when Lester (the school announcer... sorta in a way) tells us all to move towards the stadium. So i call emily to see if she's still outside or if she had left for Hammond Oliver yet. She told me she was sitting in the bus at Wal-mart, bc it was a bomb threat. Supposedly there was one at SFA too! So i ask her if she's ok, and talk to her and stuff, and then when i get off the phone i tell brittany and Coach Peir and everyone. So here we are walkin on the side of the road, being careful not to get too close to the buildings, along w/ more than 3000 other people, heading to the football stadium. Emily and i talked some more, then she told me that Marky (my uncle, her dad) was trying to call me. So i call him and he was just checking on me to make sure i was alright, and that i wasn't freaking out. Then i called emily again, and she was now aloud to go to Hammond Oliver, and was actually already there, but there were only about 18 people there. They made everyone that was not on buses already go to the stadium. By this time i was inside the stadium, after being thrown against metal bars and bumped into and had to walk through THE ONLY MUD PUDDLE IN ALL OF TEXAS. So brittany and i were sitting there talking and finding out where her friends were, i was calling my family to letting them know what was going on (my parents and sister that is), when all the sudden we hear yelling and see people running towards us. I look towards where they were running and i see a huge fight break out. So i tell brittany to get up and go the other direction. so we're walking trying not to get run over to a new area where we won't be clobbered by everyone. So we're sitting there talkin and then they tell us that it's safe to go back to class, but we need to retrieve our stuff from 4th period and proceed to 6th. So, we get up, and walked up the stairs, all the while being pushed and shoved and almost falling down the stairs. It was seriously like a mob riot! it was insane!!! So we finally get out, and go to 6th period. I had been in the stadium for over an hour! It was seriously insane. My mom thinks the whole thing was gang related, and i wouldn't doubt it since now they've taken the night hours away from them. They're just gonna have to do it during school! So yeah, that's my excitment for the day... lol. well... bye! .:*SUZY*:.

My plan... but it sucks

I know what i have to do now, but i don't like it. I guess i'll have to get over that.

Well, today was pretty good, dd gail and i went to see Rumor Has It. it was pretty cute. There were quite a few funny parts, but deffinently not the movie of the year.

ummm... then i went to dinner w/ my mom, sister, and shay. we went to OTB (not my favorite place at all...).

Yeah so that's it for today. i guess i'll talk to most of y'all later! bye! .:*Suzy*:.
