Gotta Puppy

Hey y'all. Sorry it's been FOREVER. I've either been busy or tired the whole time since my last post. Soccer season started at my school and there have been a LOT of games. (Okay, ten) We only have a JV team, but thus far they have played against only varsity teams though. They win about half of their games. I think they are pretty amazing. (BTW I am on the boys soccer team as part of the film crew. I feel pretty special.) I don't really know the guys very well, except the friend that a few weeks ago I had been fighting with. (Y'all remember that?) As soon as we got to the first game he was finally over it. Since then we seem to be building a closer relationship than before. Something just a tad deeper than the surface. I am pretty excited. He seems to be starting to trust me which is great because he needs Jesus, and the best way to present Jesus to someone is if they trust you.
The soccer coach is my Spanish teacher. He must be a really good teacher because I will randomly say something in English and then repeat it in Spanish. I've never wanted to do that before. He is a great coach too. The way all of the boys look up to and respect him is unlike most teachers. The boys are all so fun to watch. When they get on the bus after a game won, they are sooo excited it's great.
The other big thing in my life right now is Laura. She is our new Labradoodle. She is cute and sleeps in my room. Last night she woke me up at about 2:20 and peed on the floor. I was like, seriously? Then she just wanted to play and I was all...I want to go back to bed. It's 2:30 in the morning Laura. Get in your crate. (I actually said box). I was about ready to give up and just sleep on the livingroom floor when dad came and helped me. Here is a picture of her.
 
On another note, I have been getting a gazillion emails from colleges with messages like, you're really smart so we want to send you this guide to picking your major and maybe you will go to our college.
It is really flattering. I asked my friend Grace if she gets emails like this and she said no. We think maybe it might be because of my 99 percentile English score on the PSAT. Maybe I really am a genius.Gotta admit, that feels really cool. I am discovering a lot of Bible based colleges and honestly, I am struggling with whether I should go to a Christian college or the Air Force Academy. Either way I am sure I could major in journalism, I kind of want to minor in dance. I don't know if I can do that at the Academy. I suppose I could apply for both and God will get me admitted to the right one. Financially, the Academy would be better because I am fairly certain military BRATS get free tuition... But spiritually a Christian college would be potentially better. But what if God wants me out and spreading the Word in the Academy? IDK. Tough stuff man. Anyway, I have homework to do and breakfast to eat. Keep me in your prayers please. I'm struggling. (With college and finding the words to spread he Word to those I love and not having a bad attitude while at home with my family.) Have a great day. Bye. (Hopefully I will post again next week.)

How To Write a Limerick

Good morning, People! How was your sleep? Mine was alright. In my dream, my buddy Flash found my lost Starbucks gift card. He was like SWEEET until I told him it was mine. Then he looked a bit bummed. I (seeing this sad face and not particularly liking it) decided to make a deal. "Tell you what. You can keep the card if you promise to get coffee with me." "You do not have control over that stuff." He took my card and walked away. Fereal? Who does that??? LOL. Fortunately it was just a dream. I still have my half spent gift card. Now that we have talked just a bit, it is time to get serious. We are going to write a Limerick. {What in tar nation is a Limerick?}Hold your horses, I am about to explain. A Limerick is a form of poem following an A-A-B-B-A pattern. This means that lines 1,2,and 5 rhyme and lines 3, and 4 also rhyme. The lines labeled "A" are longer than the others and have the same rhythm. I will try to write a Limerick right now. (I literally...

Decorate a Leader Night

Hello. Today is Thursday. I wasn't sure what to write about to be honest. The past twelve hours have been a bit like an emotional rollercoaster. I would rather not discuss it right now.  So instead, I decided to talk about poetry. I don't really want to do that though. My brain is a bit mushy. However! I did find this sonnet by Shakespeare. I really like the last line in the sonnet. It just stands out in sharp contrast. I must show you. Here you go, Sonnet 65 by Shakespeare. Sonnet 65 Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea But sad mortality o’er-sways their power, How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea, Whose action is no stronger than a flower? O, how shall summer’s honey breath hold out Against the wrackful siege of batt’ring days, When rocks impregnable are not so stout, Nor gates of steel so strong, but time decays? O fearful meditation! where, alack, Shall time’s best jewel from time’s chest lie hid? Or what strong hand can hol...

Lonely in the Crowd

At the sight of a title like that, you may be feeling...idk a little shocked, a little curious, maybe confused.  That is just the title of my poem that I wrote yesterday.  It has been long inspired, but had cooled down for a while. (I only write good poems if I am feeling the displayed emotion) Saturday afternoon I was either completely ignored by a guy I was trying to speak to or just unheard.  Either way, it happens a lot and brought back that same lonely emotion that inspired the poem. I was admittedly a bit angry because I hate being ignored, but I was also like,  "Ooh, now I can write that poem." I wrote it after church yesterday.  Here it is. Lonely in the Crowd Like an unseen mime In the unseen box I stand here, Invisible, lost. Unseen by those around Here I am Lonely in the crowd. All around are smiling faces That do not see I'm in the darkest of places. Can you not see me? Here I am Lonely in the crowd. Not for lack of...
