It's funny how much can really happen in a year, I mean it doesn't really seem that long until you look back on it you know? Like how at that time you were writing "2010" instead of "2011" or how your hair looked long or short or even more dramatic the people you were socializing with.
At a beginning of a year you could be closer than ever with your best friend and one slip up, you don't even look eachothers way anymore. Then you meet new people and you start to mature or in some cases immature because of who you hang out with. You might discover you hated the way you were acting and you couldn't ever believe you were so immature.
It's funny though because due to recent conversation with TJ I got to thinking about how I was such good friends with Jeannie, the best of friends really, and over literally a semester period of time we just stopped talking altogether, never actually REALLY try to make up or get back to the way things were because we knew because of the friends we had now made we wouldn't ever be able to go back to what we had.
I was also thinking of my past best friends and how I would usually have 2, one being my "school best friend" and the other being my "mormon best friend". I had my school friends and I had my church friends, but I never really hing out with Mormons at school because the mormon group bugged me so much, not even for like a legitimate reason, probably because I was jealous that they all were best friends and there was never drugs or drinking problems or worldy problems within the group because they were all good mormons. Yeah, this is the first time I have ever admitted to that. Not that my group of friends were bad people because they weren't mormon, they were awesome, they just never could escape some sort of drama. There TENDS to be less drama in mormon groups. Anyways, right now I have one best friend. One. She happens to be mormon so I don't have to have two. Of course I have other close friends that I couldn't imagine getting rid of. But my best friend is Sadie and she is the tyoe of person I can be my full and complete self with without worrying she was going to judge me because she is just as odd as I am. One thing thats different between me being bestfriends with Sadie than with Jeannie is that me and Jeannie were total opposites but somehow we managed to remain friends for a long time and keep ourselves fascinated with how different we were and secretly judge. With Sadie, it's like we were twins separated at birth, we have more things in common than things not in common. Of couse we are different like any other set of best friends but we now I have a friend that I have a common ground with. And to think we became best friends in less than a years time. LESS THAN. It literally only took one class bright and early in the morning. Crazy if you ask me.
In a year, you might have a different boyfriend/girlfriend, different style, different friends, and maybe a different personality, but as long as you hang onto the good things instead of the bad, you will be able to get through the year with now struggle.\

Summer is a bummer
Just kidding. I have thoroughly enjoyed my summer so far. Let us all take a walk through of events with pictures and descriptions of events that have happened so far in my summer time...
Me and my best friend Sadie Johnson went camping on the last day of school for 4 days up in Forest Lakes and Show Low/Pinetop. We rode the rhine (picture), ate lots of food, played lots of card games, watched softball games, talked a lot, walked a lot, hunted for bubblegum ice cream (fail), babysat, strolled through the wind, slept, watched movies and a lot more. It was a lot of fun, and the first time I had been camping for like a year.
Then there was an awkward week when Sadie was at Girls Camp and I did pretty much nothing. Except chill with Avery while McKenzie was babysitting all day and Rory was at school. Well Avery has been growing quite a bit, she is currently 7 months old and growing rapidly, I have looked at pictures of her when she was first born and I find it impossible that she was ever so small because she is like ginormous now. She is climbing on everything, sucking on everything, and saying mom every other second. She has also learned how to chake her head in the "no" motion, and she does it every time we ask her a question. She is one smart cookie.
This was my fourth year at girls camp which means for two days I was not with all the ither girls, I was tent camping further up north. I went canoeing, hiking, and biking. It really helped me with my online PE credit. The challenge was a lot easier than I had expected. On the oractice day I discovered I am really good at archery, rifle shooting, tight roping and other stuff that I had sucked completely at before. On the race day I rode my bike for 12 miles and GPS hiked for 6. I didn't get to go canoeing on the race day but I did get to on the second day. I also went rapelling and cliff jumping near this little steam of water holes. Unfortunatley I didn't get any pictures of those two days. But a lot when I got back to Lomia. It was so nice to be with everyone again, no offense against Jaedyn but when you see only her for two days straight we start to get annoyed. Eastridge broke the rules and we refused to stay at West Camp with the rest of the 4th years. There is a lot more I could say that I am too lazy to type. It was truly a good year though.
Yesterday me and Sadie went to a game night at Dallas Doane's house. We noth thought game night meant board games so we dressed relativley cute. Little did we know we were going to play football and an arizona snowball fight. We didn't really play football we just pretended to, we did get smothered in flour from the snowball fight. After that, me, Sadie, and Nicole Spindler left covered in flour to go to Water & Ice and get bubblegum ice cream, then went to the villages park for like five minutes, then jumped in Nicoles hot tub to get the flour off of our clothes, then went to Kristens house and played water basketball. Once again me and Sadie really just pretended to play, except I was the distractor on my team and I did an excellent job. We also quoted Zoolander all night. Then we went to McDonalds and had some awkward moments there and then we all went home. It was a very eventful day especially since me and Sadie hadn't seen eachother in 2 weeks.
I also went to Wilcox but nothing exciting happened there of curse, so no need to go into detail.
So that's my summer so far. I still have a list of people I still need to hang out with and things I need to do. So let's see how the rest of my summer goes.
Oh and did I mention I am going to be a Junior this year? It seems a little to old for me. I am graduating in two freaking years, it's crazy. And all my friends are pretty much graduating the upcoming year. We are all growing up. It's psychotic.
E.J comes home in August!!!!!! I can't even describe how exicted I am! I really hope Avery loves him and automatically gets attached to him. EJ just recently decided to admit she existed.

Reflection?
So I am going to paste my first reaction of all my classes from the first day of school and below each comment in italics I will write how I feel now
A Hour/Chemistry - Gwara was nice, but its the first day so I am not quite sure what to expect. SO many people in that class. I am happy Serenity is in the class, she is like my favorite person. I think it will be a pretty good year as long as Gwara is a morning person. but of course she is probably not haha.
I made so many new friends in this class. Gwara is psychotic but I love it, even though she torchered me by playing glee, just about the entire year. I met my practical sister Sadie, and of course Ashlyn and Dalyn and Ben and Dante and lots of others. It was a good class to have a hour. I love chemistry.
1st Hour/Int. Theatre - Same old same old theatre as last year. But double the annoying people, seriously I thought I was going to shoot myself. This year should definitely be... interesting. At least I will actually do some acting though!
Those annoying people became some of my good friends... ha:) This year was interesting, I grew a lot especially theatrically. I am very glad I did intermediate, it was a good class to have during my last year of taking theatre classes.
2nd Hour/Hon. English - Oh my goodness I love Ms. Jackson, she might just have given the best first impression any teacher has ever given me. I really like my class haha lots of fun people. Only two guys in that class though, kind of strange. I heard she is not a morning person but she seemed perfectly fine for now(: Oh and I really like that saying she told us "Your perception is your own reality" (sorry if I butchered it) I just think it is really interesting when I gt to thinking about it. I am def going to love that class.
It was established this year that I am a mini Ms Jackson, so of course she drove me nuts but I love her at the same time. For not being a morning person, I did enjoy having her in the morning. I really had to step up my game in this class, considering it was my first year in honors, but I have made through and I have had a blast. The class was fun for the most part even though some people just drove me nuts all year.
3rd Hour/French II - This was kind of strange because McMullin was like REALLY nice and laid back. She like lifted all of the tules that we had last year. Apparently pregnancy was really hard on her. Actually makes me think about taking French 3 haha. Anyways lots of people I hate last year and its looking to be a good year. I am very happy Abbey got it switched so she could have it with me.
Mme McMullin was amazing this year. I felt like she wasn't my teacher, but my friend instead. I loved having her this year again and I am excited to have her next year for french 3. Everyone was a good classmate to me except two people, who continually drive me nuts and I don't think I will ever get over it.
4th Hour/Lunch - I actually kind of liked 4th hour, I thought I would miss 5th too much. But I pretty much hung out with these people over the hour - Jenna Kayla Cheyenne Chris Jenny Kaleina Amy and that one girl I forgot her name. But it looks like this lunch will be good. Oh and it was freakin' HOT!
Well this year had a lot of evolution at lunch I guess you could say. So above are the people I hung out with at the beginning of the year, and currently it is now Jenna, Cheyenne, Gessica, Alex, Kayla and Sadie. So yeah there were some changes made in my group over time. I did enjoy having fourth hour lunch though it was full of fun adventures.
5th Hour/Math - Love the teacher, Brandl is so legitimate not even kidding. I love his tatoos and his life is really interesting. The people in the class are pretty annoying but thats okay I guess. Oh and of course I have math with Derrick Goslin again, I have had a class with him since the 4th grade. I need a break ahah.
Brandl is a cool cat, he was the best part of the class. I had the highest grade in all of his classes allllll year. I wish I had more friends in that class though, but towards the end of the year I did become friends with Talor and Nicki which was nice.
6th Hour/Seminary - I have the same hour I had last year and like 1/2 of the same people and I have the same teacher. So that is pretty good. Except the fact for 1/2 of the other 1/2 of the people. I CANNOT STAND THEM! Ahhhh. I want my old seminary class back! With Malia and Rory, that would be nice, thanks.
I adjusted to my seminary class.... I love it! Not quite as good as my class last year but super close! I made so many good friends in that class like Tj Sam Dalyn and Derek. Some people drove me crazy but not nearly as much as I thought they would. I really truly enjoyed this seminary class, I don't want to leave it!
7th Hour/AP World History - I am kind of nervous about this class but I have a positive attitude about it. I really like Mr. Treat he seems like a cool guy. There are A LOT of people in that class, there wasn't even enough chairs. I am glad I have it with some of my friends though. I hope it will be a good class for me.
Mr. Treat hates me, therefore he is not on good terms with me. The class was difficult but it was a nice challenge, I like the way it was structerd. The people on my side of the room were all fun and amazing except for the child that purposely voted against Lucy just because I wanted her to win so badly, but other than him, the people were fun on my side and they really helped me get through the class.

A Tale of Two Cities
I just finished reading this book in english, and to my surprise I actually really enjoyed it. Not just because one of the leading charcacters has my name. But Sydney Carton was my favorite character, I was on the verge of obsession with him. He was just so fascinating and human. Unlike Charles Darnay who everyone loves, the perfect husband sort of thing who runs and hides from his past life to meet the girl of his dreams that changed him forever. Bull crap I say to that. I love Sydney Carton and what a BA he is. Clearly he hasn't made the best choices in life, but he accepts that. Accepts it. That is definitely something men today ( using men as a human term) learning to accept there mistake and move forward, instead of trying to cover up for them.With Sydney accepting his foolishness he finds his "calling" I guess you could say. With all the evil in him there is that spot of good that shines towards the end of the novel.
Like yin and yang.
Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay are doppelgangers in the book and when I think of them togther I think of yin and yang, two opposite forces making one whole force. Charles is the white side because he is your classic "good guy" but he has the darkness within him which is his past as an Evremonde. Sydney on the other hand is the black side because he is seen as the drunkard bad guy throguh most of the book that no one cares about but he has the light in him which is his love and devotion for Lucie Manette and her loved ones. So together Sydney and Charles sort of make one ideal human creature.
Just some thoughts that came from my powerpoint presentation in english class. Speaking of which I was so dissappointed in the fact that my music wasn't working, practiaclly broke my heart.

Friends:)
Do you not love them? I mean they check into the hotel and then they check out but when they get settled you create so many memories. I have made a bundle of new friends this year, mainly mormons believe it or not, and honestly I have really felt a change un myself, like how much nicer I am to people and not as judgmental. I don't think it's a coincidence. Of course I am still hang out with some of my friends from last year like Jenna, Kayla, Becca and Gunnar, and of course I have lost friends along the way like Jeannie. Or maybe I'm just not as close to people like I was before like Allie, Jenny, Kyra or Katti (which I totally hate by the way guys). But this year I have become friends with Sadie (who is like my sister now), Ashlyn, Sam, TJ (who is like my best friend), Cheyenne, Hailey, Markus, Mady, Dalyn, Cabby, Ben, Alex, Kayla R and so many others! It's kind of crazy how friends leave and then you make handfulls of new ones. I love my friends. And the fact that I have a lot of them. Like a lot. That's all I've got to say you know?
