College

My first week of classes has come and gone.  So far I am not too concerned about classes, however I am not sure what I want to do anymore.  I had wanted to major in photography but now I am starting to rethink my options. I am debating becoming an art teacher and teaching photography, but like everything else that is just an idea right now.  To become a teacher for art though I would need to transfer schools or else get my license in elementary education and then get my masters in art education.  Who knows, I have time to figure out what I want to do.

My dorm, which actually is more of an apartment, is located right across the street from Invesco field and I-25 runs 200 yards– if that– from my room.  I have 2 suite mates who are totally awesome.  Tanisha is from Highlands ranch and works at an ice cream place.  Erica is from Pueblo and currently works at the library. Hee hee I don’t have a job really ;p oh well.  I don’t have a roommate but it’s all good.  I am enjoying having a king size bed since I pushed the two together

Well that is all for now.

Last Month of My Life

In the last month of my life I have finished my English Composition class, which at the beginning of the year I thought I was certainly going to fail.  I passed with a B+.  I finished up my last season of high school soccer ever.  We sadly had a poor season and finished with a record of 5-6-1.  However in our last game I did score, and we won 8-0!  That was nice.  At the soccer banquet I was thrilled to find out I was voted All Confernece by the coaches of the Tri-Peaks League.  I got a kitten, her name is Chica (Loca).  She is a complete and total spaz but I love her to death, she is so cute and full of life. We had the Creative Arts fair at school where I received blue ribbons for my Got Milk ads, my positive/negative black and white photo of Carrie Bennetts, and also for my motivational posters.  At the end of the show I was voted by the people as the best piece – pieces since my motivational posters were selected-  in the fine arts section of the show.  If my posters were not being hung in the Board Room at the School District Administration building then my art work would have been hung in the library hall.  That has been my goal and year and now after 2 art shows I have received the People’s Choice award twice in a row and achieved my goal.  Friday was my last day of high school ever!!!  It was amazing to walk out of those doors and know that I would never walk in late again and be counted tardy!  ;p  Oh some time last week I signed up for classes next fall. I am taking:

GREAT WORKS IN BRITISH & AMERICAN LIT,  WORLD REGIONAL GEOG, Art History Survey, Drawing, and 2-D Design.

I graduate in less than one week and I am ready!!!

BV Basketball is going to State!!!

The BV Varsity Girls have fought long and hard, and have one last battle to win; the state championship title.  They will be playing in Fort Collins on thursday the 12 at 10:15 am.  If they win they will play on Friday the 13 at 5:00 pm.  If you can take time off from work drive on up there and cheer for them!!  It is going to be an amazing weekend for these girls!!!

Artwork

During my senior year my creative side has really begun to shine through.  I am having some graphic design things hung in the Buena Vista School District Administration Building, I created a poster for a local event for the Chamber of Commerce and they have asked me to do another one later this year.  I am creating my own Got Milk ads, and if they are good enough there is a possibility they well be hung in the lunch room at the high school.  I am very excited how much I have learned and excelled!!

My freewrite

Soccer is a week away.  My life is about to be put on fast forward for the next 3 months when it will suddenly stop right before school is over.  I can’t tell how I feel about this up coming season.  Part of me is extremely happy to be out playing again, but another part is feeling reluctant to step out on the pitch.  I don’t know why.  It may be because this is my last season of the sport I love, or maybe it is some feeling I have yet to discover.  I really couldn’t tell you.

The life I have known for the past 17 years is about to change, and I know I say I am ready, bu I’m not so sure.   I am very excited to be moving forward and discovering new things, but there is something about the whole thing that scares me a little.  But one thing I am looking forward to is being in the city!  I have been waiting to be in a city for a long time and now I get to be right down town!  Amazing.   I think that even though I have some doubts about college and the rest of my life, that it is ok, it is a part of growing up.  Because I also am very excited to be taking on this new adventure.  And I get to share it with Matt.  That is another thing I can’t wait for.  The chance to really be with him, not 2 hours away with some visits but mostly text messages.  Yeah I’ll still be about 45 minutes away but that to me is way closer than where I am now.  And we’ll both be in college =]    That’s all for now, guess this was more a post of free writing.

A new day is dawning

Today is one of the most important days in American history in my eyes.  today the very first Black president was sworn in to office.  You all know this and I know you do, but i want to talk about what this means to me. People say that Barack is going to be just like any other president we have had, but I disagree.  I got the chance to here him speak at DU last year and it was quite amazing.  Hearing him in person shouldn’t be any different that listening to him on T.V but there is such a huge difference.  You can feel the courage and confidence radiating off of him while he stands there to speak.  Obama doesn’t just say what you want to hear to make you like him.  He means every word he says.

I am so proud to be a part of today and what has taken place.  It is amazing to be a part of history and some pretty damn good history at that!  I don’t think I can really explain how I am feeling.

Lightening

I sat there watching the lightening light up the sky over the mountains, listening to “Far Away”
As I sat there I wondered if you were watching the light show too
The night here was so peaceful and the far off raging of the lightening only added   to the night’s beauty
I wondered that if you were watching the show if you were thinking about me while you watched
As I was thinking of you

While I sat and watched I could only wish that I was lying in your arms watching the night sky
I so wanted to feel your breath on my neck, your arms holding close as if you’ll never let go
Your hands entwined with mine
As we lay there watching the lightening

The lightening danced across the night sky threatening rain to those far off places
You once told me I shouldn’t be afraid of lightening
I now understand what you mean
The lightening truly is amazing

Summer is so close!!

Summer is only and hour and a half of astronomy away.  I cannot wait to been done with school and on with summer.  I have waited so long for summer to arrive and now here it is.  I cannot wait to be able to go Florida, come home and then go raft on Deso.  Then I get to go to work and then in July go to Switzerland.  Oh and  only and hour and a half left of school and I will be a senior.   GOODY!!!!

Honorable Mention

Each year the coaches of the league get together and have a HUGE bragging fest about their players. The coach from TCA decided to brag about his player Shea Haycock and how she had scored in every game… oh wait that’s right she scored in every game, but one. Hannah Cooling did not allow that munch kin to score. Then Coach Keidel continued to brag about the rest of us and our wonderfully amazing keeper. After that meeting the league gives out League players of the year and honorable mentions.

Last night was the soccer team awards banquet. We had a great time with lots of laughter and sadly tears at the end- No thanks to Jalyn and Keely. Then after the coach had talked about all of us and said how much he appreciated each of us he called myself and Bailey back up to the front. I was a little nervous but I went up there. When Bai and I got up there Coach started talking about the Coaches meeting again and it turns out that Bailey and I received honorable mention by the Tri- Peaks league for the soccer season of 2007-2008!! Then Keely, Jen and Jalyn all received League Players from the Tri-Peaks League. Then to top the evening off, BVHS’ very own Jalyn McMurry received All State. Coach said she is probably the best keeper this team has ever seen, and I couldn’t agree more. And what makes me happy is I got to play with her all the years that she played keeper for the Demons.

We were an extremely strong team who should have gone to state, but didn’t. I am sad that the season is over, but look, 5 of us received league awards, that’s pretty impressive.
