Last Convention

So, this past weekend was my last Interact convention that I will attend as a participant. I hope one day that I will be able to go back as a chaperone or something else like that, but for now that over. It makes me so sad to think that after three years I won't be going anymore. But this year was so much fun. We even won third place in the talent show for large group talent. We did this synchronized swimming thing and apparently everyone thought it was hilarious. If someone posts the video I'll link it. Me and the other girls I roomed with took Saloon girl pictures and they are so cute! I'll share those too. (In fact, I'll probably just make a picture post after I get them all.) On Sunday, before we left during session we had an amazing speaker. His name was Scott Shickler. He was one of the most inspiring people I have ever heard a speech from. The things he said just made me really think about what I was passionate about and what will truly make me happy. I realized that I'm going to have to start making decisions based purely for myself and not based on what others think I should do. His foundation website is https://www.magicwandfoundation.org/ and I would greatly recommend checking it out, especially the 7 mindsets to your ultimate life. Overall, I had an amazing weekend and wish I had more time there to learn and experience more greatness.

Scary thoughts

Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to go to UTK for college. I dreamed about going there and being in a sorority and making tons of friends and having the time of my life. Then one day that was no longer the dream. I don't know what changed my mind, it just happened one day. And now, I only find myself second guessing everything. One day I wanna go to UTC, the next I want to stay at Motlow for a year, and occassionally I just want to go to MTSU. I always said I would never go to MTSU, but one day it didn't seem so bad anymore. It's still my last choice but sometimes I think it would just be easy. I'm too scared to actually commit to choosing one place because I'm scared I will regret it. That no matter what I choose to do I will unhappy and think I made the wrong decision. I'm scared that if I go away I'll end up hating it and come back home after a semester and feel like a failure. I don't know what I want to do for the rest of my life, and don't feel like I'm old enough to decide, so why is it that this is the age people want you to? I talk myself into changing my mind at least twice a day, but pretty soon I'm gonna have to make a definate decision and I'm not ready to.

The Truth

Truth #1: This was the only day we had school this week on account of snow, and I got out at 11:25 cause I only have 2 classes! But, we will have to make up 3 days, which is really sad :( We had the most snow I am pretty sure I have ever seen in my life! It was like 8 inches! (that's what she said haha)

Truth #2: I am obssessed with Tumblr! The other night, it was really late and me and my friends were like hey lets get Tumblr's, so we did, and stayed up till 4 on it. We decided Tumblr is the ultimate trolling website. Ha. (My link for this and all other websites is in the sidebar)

Truth #3: I am stressing about things that I really shouldn't be yet. For example I am stressing about what to do about prom, and prom isn't until April! Crazy, I know.

Truth #4: I think senior year is going by way too fast! It always seems like the years go by really slow, and now when I want it to go slow, it is flying by, and I don't like it! I don't feel like I am old enough to be graduating. I feel like I need more time before it's all over.

Truth #5: Last night I ushered for a play, and when I was driving home there was a big patch of ice at the stop sign in my neighborhood. So, I am driving along and try to stop at the stop sign and my brakes don't do anything, and I just slide! It was scary, but there were no other cars so it was alright.

2010 in pics

So, sorry it didn't get out the next day, but things happened and got in the way. But tomorrow will be the third day in a row my school will be out for snow! I'm pretty sure that is a school record! We are usually lucky to get one every other year. haha. But more on that later. Without further delay here was my year in pictures.

 

 

Hope your year was as exciting as mine and looking foward to a great 2011.

snow day

So, if the title did not tip you off today was the first and probably last snow day of the year. In our town, we are lucky to ever get one with usually a few years in between each snow day. But today was one! So, in honor of this day I decided to finally post and share with you the wonderfulness of the snow! Now on with the pictures!
