Results

Durning the swim meet against Southridge, I took off 11 seconds from my best time of the 500 free, my best event. I had another meet last Thursday against Westveiw, and I took off an additional 4 seconds. YAYA! Today I started my Lifeguard class. Most of the day was lecture, as we went over scanning skills, ways to enter the water, and different types of drowning people. We practiced being victims and different approaches to a victim. After class, I went to swim practice, ending the day with pie. What more could I ask for?

Ending the season with a bang!

This year was my second year of water polo. This year was amazing, and I loved every second of it. This year, the sophomore girls consisted of five girls; one new, and four returnees. I am proud to say that I lettered for the second time in water polo. I am also honored to say that I made second all metro team, meaning that I am in the top 14 players in my district(the metro district). Another sophomore made third all metro team. I was so proud when I found out that I had made second all metro team. It is quite an accomplishment. I also got voted as most inspirational by my team mates. I got a plaque for that. Our assistant coach, Pat, gave us a big speech about half way throughout the season about being athletes, and not participates, and what it means to be an athletes. So, at the end of the year, he gave us a 'Pat Ribbon'. It says; 'Awarded to athletes (only) that have experienced what it means to go a little further, a little faster, a little harder, a little further than they have ever gone before or ever thought they could go.'

This Past Month

So. I know its been a while, and I'm sorry. I have been busy with homework, water polo, homework, Exchange application, more water polo, and did I mention homework? I can finally breath.
Over the weekend we were at the water polo District tournament.We played against Sam Barlow. We went into the game knowing we were gonna lose, but we played our hardest. We had them tied at half time. 4 to 4. But they eventually pulled ahead to 13-4 in the end. I am so proud of my team, and rather sad that I will be missing next season.

Tournaments

Last weekend I had a tournament in Park Rose. We had the first game of the tournament, witch we lost to Park Rose. The next day we had three games; Newberg, Chehalam, and Reynolds. We lost to both Newberg and Reynolds, but won the game agains Chehalam. Between games, we went to Ikea for lunch and to Target to get footie pajamas. If we had lost all of our games, We would have been there until 8:00pm. But because we won one game, we left at 4:00. YAY!!! We also won our first metro game against Southridge. We did loose to Lincoln though. Two losses, one win. This weekend we also had a tournament. We had two games on Friday, one against West Albany, and one against Southridge.        We one the games against south ridge, and lost to West Albany. On Saturday, we lost both games against Summit and Lincoln. I made a goal in the one against Lincoln though. One of the two goals. Some of the parents we worried about me because they thought I was drowning. I was just tying to get the other team fouled instead. I had fun over the weekend. I was much happier to stay in the nice warm pool than be out in the cold rain. We also had a power outage last night at around 4:00. I had a relaxing evening.

Games

We had another water polo game on Thursday against Lake Oswego. We didn't win the game, but we did win the second half. the final score 6-10. It was a good game, and the team played good defense at the end of the game. I made a goal in the varsity, and two in the JV. THe boys have a tournament this weekend in Park Rose, so we didn't have practice on Friday.  This weekend has been filled with homework and laziness. On Monday I have a field trip to the beach, an unacademic event. Then it's back to water polo. YAY!!!

First Week

So school started again. That means work. No more relaxation. But school also means water polo, my favorite. I am still trying to get used to school, catching up on all the scuttlebutt that went on over summer that I missed. Nothing important. But it was a good weekend well spend. On Friday after water polo practice, the boys deep end goalie(Sully) and I sold seat cousins, pom-poms, and lanyards at the Varsity football game. At the start it was only the two of us, but soon we were joined by two other team mates. We sold until the end of half time. I then met up with a good friend of mine who plays in the high school marching band. On Saturday, I went to the Beaverton Parade to again see my band friend. Sully was also there, so I sat with his family and watched the parade go by. The rest of the weekend has been me working on homework. Game scores of this week: Tigard Varsity Girls vs. Beaverton Varsity Girls: 21-6. Reynolds Varsity Girls vs. Beaverton Varsity Girls: 20-2. So far the Beaverton Varsity Girls team is defeated. 0 wins 2 losses. On Monday, we play Newberg. Wish us luck!!!

Glider

Yesterday my family and I headed out to on a surprise trip. I had no clue where we were going, only that it was toward Forest Grove. Soon we made a turn off and entered a drive way to find these:

My dad was going to let me fly a glider(the plane on the top)!!!!!! Bob was the person who was actually flying the plane, but I was in the front seat. The view was amazing!!

Afterwards we went and had breakfast. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Redmond Jamboree

Over the past week I have been going to water polo practice at 6:00 in the morning followed by and hour and a half of dry land practice. After week of pain and suffering, I went to the Redmond Jamboree. The Redmond Jamboree is a water polo tournament were instead of plying full games, keeping score, and having a winner, the games are purely for experience and getting back into the swing of water polo. A real game of water polo is about an hour long. We only played 10 minuet games. The girls we originally supposed to play 9 games, but when one of the teams didn't show, we only got to play 8 games wile the boys got to play 11. The first day, Friday, we played 2 games. My grandparents came to watch me play. On Saturday we played 4 games with 3 hour intervals. After all of the games were done, there was a coaches game. Our team didn't win, but it was still fun. That was a real game, not a ten minuet one. On Sunday we had two more games and the boys had four. We painted our car and the coaches as a prank. Here are pics of our car.

Most things we wrote are inside jokes. But it was still fun.

Saturday

Yesterday I finished my water polo conditioning. Today I am going with my friend to see the musical, Once on this island. That should be interesting. I'm excited for water polo to start on Monday. The banquet is on Sunday. I'm ready for this season.

Astro. Camp 2013 Part 4

Early on Saturday morning, I got up and we had breakfast. We then waited around for 20 minuets for everyone to be done with their food. Cat, Paige and I went up to the youth tent to get string and return the bubbles and games. We then loaded up the bus and headed out on the road. I worked on Jon's friendship braclet and sang songs. Then we stopped for lunch. Soon we were in Portland and being reunited with our parents. I miss Hancock, and I love it so much. Part of me will always be there, and I hope to work there one day. The sky is so pretty. It might be a little dry, and taking showers is limited, but I could do it. Maybe.
On Monday I stared Water Polo conditioning. Only two other person on my team was there (come on Beaverton!!). Yesterday I went swimming with my friend and went to water polo practice. Today I went shopping at Cosco. Ready for practice tonight!!

Astro. Camp 2013 Part 3

I woke up On Friday morning to the bright sun warming up our tent. We were allowed to sleep in till ten, however, the sun was not letting us. I got up a 8:00. Jon announced that there was going to be a hike of sorts at 10:00. Not everyone was required to go on the hike, but quite a few went. I went, and at 10:00 we were down in the forest looking for a spring. We found an elk skeleton(the antlers cut off of course) and then we headed down to another clearing.

skeleton!

The green part of the grass is where the spring was. 

After the hike we had a breakfast of pancakes. At around 12:00 we headed up to the swap meet. They had telescopes for sale, and a lot of things to star gaze with. we also checked out the youth tent. They had string to make friendship bracelets with, and you could make a rocket, barrow a game, or get stickers. Nearly everyone grabbed string. I made a friendship bracelet originally for myself (I could be friends with myself, it is totally possible) but then Zoe asked if she could have it. So I gave it to her. Cat was having trouble making hers, so I helped her. We hung out in the bus cause it was cooler until lunch. Around 2:00, we had lunch. After lunch I went back on the bus to play Uno. At about 3:00, Zoe announced that we were going to have dinner at a lake that was about a hour away. We were to go swimming if we wanted too. So I got suited up and we left. After the hour was up and we were finished singing Bohemian Rhapsody, we pulled into a park. It was cloudy, and a little chilly. I was of corse in my shorts and tank top, so I was freezing. Lightning flashed in the distance. Jon announced that we would have to wait until the storm passed. I took a walk around the lake with 5 other kids. When we were done, I took out some bubbles I had borrowed from the youth tent. Just before I got my hamburger, it started to rain. We got out buyer, I grabbed the ketchup, Paige yelled "KETCHUP ME!!" and I said "MUSTARD ME!!". After we both added our condiments and were getting soaked, we jumped back under a tree and wolfed down our dinner. Food never tasted so good. An Oregon Rain Berger. Thats what it was called. The rain never let off and some people started doing a rain dance and singing X-mas songs for some reason. We had a slice of water melon, and then boarded the bus again. It took us an extra 1/2 hour to get back to camp cause some one took down the signs that pointed us in the right direction. We eventually got there. The lightning had not calmed down. At about 9:00, we headed out to hear a talk by Dave, the head honcho of the Star Party give a talk. We made sure we were early this time. However, Dave was out trying to figure out who had taken down the signs. Instead we had an 4 people improvise. It was really interesting. Luckily they clouds were beginning to clear out and we could see the stars. After the imprvies, we headed back to camp. Jon asked me if I could make him a braclet, and I said I would. Tomorrow morning I would have to get more string. We were allowed to stay up later than usual if we wanted. I was exhausted, so I went to bed. I will tell you more about my trip home tomorrow.

Astro. Camp 2013 Part 2

On Wednesday morning, I found it would be my last night sleeping in cabins, for tomorrow morning, we would be leaving for the Oregon Star Party. After breakfast, we made lunch and then we split up into our groups to work on what we were going to teach the little kids. After some research, we came up with a game. It is similar to the game of murder, but instead of the murderer who kills innocent people, you have dark matter who takes other matter into its gravitational pull. And, instead of a detective, you have a NASA scientists trying to figure out who it is. The dark matter takes other matter by shaking their hand and giving the other matters palm a little scratch. That matter that just got affected by dark matter then shook hands with one or two other matters before sitting down. They were then out of the game and had to wait for the next round. It was fun when they weren't so obnoxious and when they were actually playing. We joined in too. It was quite fun. I think the kids had fun too. After we planed what we were going to do, we had lunch and then rest time. I learned haw to do a fish tail braid and got ready to go swimming. It was an hour drive there and an hour back, two hours total.  However that part of the river was deeper, and cooler and nicer. I helped one of the 3rd and 4th grade councilors build a rock pile to stand on in one of the deepest part of the area where we were to stay in. 

My favorite photo of the day on the way back from the river.
My friend Paige on the left and my councilor David in the back.

After we got back, it was rec. time where I bought a sweater from Hancock which I was grateful for. We then had dinner followed by us teaching the kids for and hour. It was then followed by campfire. After that we got our sleeping bags and pillows and gather for a movie watching of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. At about 12:30, the movie ended and it was bed time.

On Thursday morning we got up at the same time and started packing. I didn't get to far when it was time for breakfast of french toast and sausage. Then we made lunch, then packed some more. Once we were done packing, and finished cleaning our cabins, we sat around the unlit campfire and waited for further instructions. None came until lunch time. We then split up into groups of three and eat lunch and discussed different things of the universe that were written on cards. We then got onto the school bus to head out the the Star Party. 

There is us as gangsters. Love it!

When we got there everyone was so hungry but of course making dinner takes time. We got all set up and Jon told us that there was photographer, Ben Canales giving a presentation on how he took pictures of the night sky. It was very fascinating. Afterwards we made our way back to the camp site and had dinner. We then waited around for it to get dark and made our way to another presantaion, which, sadly, as soon as we got there, ended. It was too cloudy to watch the sky or see anything, so we went to bed when we got back to our tents. I was sharing a tent with Paige, so I wasn't all alone. I will tell you more about the star party tomorrow.

Astro. Camp 2013 Part 1

This past week has been a lot of firsts. I saw my first shooting star, stayed in a cabin with no one I knew, went tent camping, attended the Oregon Star Party, saw the Milky Way galaxy in person, and watched The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I had such a fantastic time. I hardly thought of home any of the time. Where was I? Hancock field station, Fossil OR. What for? Astronomy Camp. For my birthday I got a Duffle bag, and a camera. I had no clue what it was all for until I came to the bottom of the box to find a paper saying that I was going to attend an Astronomy camp! I was speechless. So, last week early on Monday morning, I took a bus to Hancock Field Station. I was introduced to the four councilors, Zoe, Cat, David, and Katie, and the three instructors Jon, Sarah, and Beth. The first day, I soon realized, is always the most awkward. We learned how to use telescopes after meeting everyone. There were 25 of us total, all going into high school or already been in high school for the past year or two. We were sharing the camp with 15 3rd and 4th graders. We also got to stay up till 11:30pm. That night was the clearest of the whole trip. It was amazing. I really can't describe what the sky looks like to give it justice. And to be there, under the stars, under the Milky Way, watching the ISS pass over head at 12 miles per second, to stand there in the total darkness, the only light the stars, gazing down at us.

On Tuesday, we got up early, had a an amazing breakfast of pancakes, and watched a slide show of the solar system. We were told that on Wednesday evening us High School kids would be teaching the 3rd and 4th graders. So they two instructors split all 25 of us into 5 groups of five. We were to discuss what we were going to teach the kids and how we were going to do that. My group decided that we would teach them about dark matter, the 'glue' of the universe. After deciding what we were going to do, we had lunch, and then we attempted instructor Jon's Impossible 3D Constellation's. We worked on this activity in the lunch hall, a long building, where we had one spot on the ground where we had build a constellation from earth. Our constellations are unique to earth and only earth. No other planet can see the same constellation. We were split into groups of 7 with one leader for each group, and one over all leader. My group had Ursa Major, more commonly known as the Big Dipper. Each star that makes up the Big Dipper is a certain distance away from Earth. So we hung balloons for the stars and lined them up so you could see it from 'earth'. Once we were done, it was rest time. Rest time is one hour where everyone stays in their cabin and takes a nap, or reads, or talks quietly. I worked on my sudoku puzzles. Then we got ready to go to swimming. The whole camp went to The John Day River for a cool swim in the intense heat. It was very cool, literary, and figuratively. When we got back to camp it was dinner time. I had KP (Kitchen Party) the night before, so I didn't have to help set up.
I had an hour to hang out. I went to Lon's Lab, a smaller building with a concrete floor so it was nice and cool in there. After that it was taco Tuesday and dinner time. After a delicious dinner, we had campfire and sang songs. Then we went with Jon and Beth for constellation story time. We went up to the top of a hill and looked at the stars. It wasn't as clear, however I saw the best shooting star ever. There was a streak of white, then darkness and then a flash of light in the shape of a diamond. Imagine that, only super fast. It was so cool. After we heard stories of Hercules, Cancer, the Ursas, Bootes, and others it was off to bed. I will continue this tomorrow. Sorry for the "delay".

Some scenery when we went on a hike one the first day.

This past week

We got home on Saturday from a stressful drive of crazy drivers. I was not one of them. In fact I didn't even get behind the wheel that day. On Sunday I had another relaxing day. On Monday I slept in and we went shopping for clothes for my Astronomy camp next week. On Tuesday 'Madre' and I went to see Despicable Me 2. I had fun. On Wednesday, I went for a swim early in the morning, then I went for a heart scanning. Some fun! Then 'Madre' and I joined my friend and his mom on a segway tour.  Thank you.

Ready to go

All of us in Wshington Park.

Paddle Boards

Today I tried out paddle boarding on the lake. Paddle boarding is paddling on a surf board and you stand up. Because I've done paddling in the dragon boats, it wasn't too hard for me. I went really far out, then turned around and came back. I have found another new fun activity. Can't wait to do it again!

~FRS

PERMITTED!!

So, on Thursday, I took my driving test, and I went through the most stressful/suspenseful fantastic half hour of my life. After getting the first four questions wrong, and skipping half of them, I went on a 'right streak'. The sad thing was that once you skipped them, you had to come back to them. Finally, there were four questions left, and I had to get 28 out of 35 (80%) right to pass. I had only gotten four wrong. It was the last straw. I only had to get one more right, and I would be done! Get all four wrong, and it was back to studying. Question 31: How far should you stay away from a moving fire truck with its lights on? A) 500 feet B) 350 feet C) 800 feet D) 1,000 feet. 'Crap, what its that?? Well, it couldn't be 1,000 feet. Thats too far, and 350 feet is too close. I'll try 800 feet.' WRONG!! I went to the next one. 'WRONG!!' again! Only two more. I could do it. WRONG!! Holy crap!! This is my last chance. Get this one right, and I'm behind the wheel! Get it wrong, and its back to the desk! I took a deep breath. I read it carefully. It was one of the ones I skipped. Which one is it? A) or B)? A) is logical, but B) sounds the closest. I'll go with B). CORRECT! PLEASE GO TO THE FRONT DESK FOR YOUR PERMIT. I couldn't believe. I had done it! After hearing all the horror stories about not passing, I had kicked the test in the butt got my permit! As soon as I was outside I was jumping around, screaming saying "I did it! I did it!"

So, after Thursday, 'Madre' and I have been taking the volvo out for a drive everyday. I am getting quite attached to that car. I haven't crashed, and I'm going slow at my mothers request so everything is good. Lets hope it stays like that. I have also gone to the Wallowa Lake with our friend and her grandson. The freezing cold waters has chased me out for the passed two times while he bobbed around without a care in the world. As we contemplated the meaning of life chatted and sat in the sun we observed people, had a laugh or two and kept an eye on her grandson. What a wonderful way to spend a summer afternoon. Thank you.

Visits

At about 10:30 am on Saturday, 'Madre' and I arrived at my grandparents house in Eastern Oregon. The first day was lounging around outside in the gorgeous weather, and Sunday was me franticly studying for my drivers permit that I will take on Thursday and pass hopefully. Yesterday was also another day of studying. We did a little bit of shopping as well. Today, the family friend came over, and we visited. After that 'Madre' and I went grocery shopping again. The rest of the day has been more studying  We were also baby sitting a friends dog, Tate! He is camera shy, but I did get him on video. Sadly, it won't upload.

Early Birthday

4th

To day to celebrate the US's Independence, I was invited to go to the Evergreen Space and Aviation Wings & Waves Water Park. It has a wave pool, a whirl pool, and a kiddy play ground. At the top of the billing is a Plane that has slides coming out of the sides. on three of the four you need to have an inter tube. The other one you are not aloud to go with one. I only went on it once. It was such a blast! I don't want to be a spoiler for people who haven't gone, but it is one of the best water parks. Thank you so much for taking me!

Summer

I have had a nice few days of relaxing in the cool/warmness of my house. I watched the entire 5th season of Doctor Who, not cause I was board, but because I was staying cool. We went to see Man of Steel. It was violent, but otherwise good. Another Super Man movie. We also went to the mall and bought some cloths. Imagine me, shopping! HAHA! I am funnnn-y! haha. FYI, for those who don't know, I don't shop very much.

Cup Cakes

I had never made a cake from cake mix, but I had a first. We didn't want to deal with a cake however, so instead we made cup cakes. I also got to decorate the little chocolate things, and i must say, for a first timer, it wasn't too bad.

Braces Be Gone

I AM FREEEEEE!!!!! After spending years and years in their clutching grasp, I finally broke free. It was a difficult, one-sided battle, but in the end, I arose from the spit and plaque gasping for air, whole apples, and popcorn. In reality, I only spent a year and a half in them, and they weren't all that painful. Well, it sounds better when I escalate the situation. The celebrate the occasion, we went to see Star Trek again. Still amazing!! Now to go eat some caramel!

This Past Week...

On Monday I got up early to go for a quick swim before I started my day. Last year I participated in a free camp, G2CS, or Girls Gather for Computer Science. I had a butt load of fun last year and I would have loved to do it again this year, but the catch is once you do it, you con't do it again. However, you can be a intern at the camp. The intern helps 'unite' the girls and bring them together, as well as helping them open up. So, in February, I applied, and a month later, I got the letter of acceptance. I was going to intern for the first week, topic: hardware. The first day is always a little awkward, as people don't know each other. everyone is on there own. But by lunch time, everyone had grabbed a buddy as their new friend. I floated around, talking to everyone and making new friends. By Tuesday you could se social groups developing. Everyone talked to everyone, but they had there own group. We skip to Thursday, when we went on our Intel field trip. I learned more about engineering, about how Intel works, and how they treat their employees. I had a much better idea of how Intel works, and what they do. On Friday, I was surrounded by girls, and getting tons of hugs. I'm still not sure of what happened, but now I know the true meaning of stampede. I had a great time with the girls, and I look forward seeing all of them again at the Seattle overnight trip.

Dragon Boat

I forgot to blog about race weekend. I am sorry. The Beaverton Dragon Boat team got 6th out of 7 teams. Our first two races could have been better, and our last two races were amazing. My team went all out with face paint and painting nails, and ribbons. It was a little crazy. Beaverton is also know for our cheers. We definitely went all out with teaching other teams cheers and screaming and lots of team sprit.

Waiting for the races

Silver Falls

On Tuesday I went on the school field trip to Silver Falls. The Sophomores and Juniors stay overnight, the Freshmen go home at 9:00, and the Seniors who have already graduated are invited to lunch. We got to the park and had about two and a half hours of free time that I spent throwing a ball around with my friend. After a lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs, we had the choice of two hikes; a short one that was about half a mile, and the long one, about 5 miles. I went on the long one, which was awesome! The falls were so amazing! After the long hike, we waited back at the park, for the buses to take us to the cabins. The cabins are two miles away from the park, and the buses already took the other group to the cabins, leaving us for an extra two mile hike to the cabins. Once we got there, it was another 2 and a half hours of free time. Then we had tacos for dinner. That was followed by some "most likely to" awards for our school. That was fun to hear what the teachers said about us. Not everyone got an award though. I still had a lot of fun. I attempted to sleep on the bus ride back, but my class mates wouldn't let me. I got a good sleep in my cozy bed though. Today 'Madre'  an I went and saw Iron Man 3.  I thought it was better than Iron Man 2.

Race Weekend

This past week has been hectic with seniors leaving, and studying for tests. I even have a project due on Monday, and my partner hasn't done a lot. This weekend is Dragon boat race weekend. I am nervous, but extremely excited. We race at 8:30am, and our second one is around 1:00pm. the races only last about 3 minutes. The races are in the Willamette river, and race from the Hawthorne bridge to the Morrison bridge. Next week starts out with a half day on Monday, and then a field trip to Silver Falls. It's not over night, sadly, but we don't get home until around 11:00pm. I am excited to go, but I don't want school to be over.

4 Day Weekend

I had a four day weekend, starting with Friday, and ending with Monday. It was nice, to have all those free days. In fact I even did homework (what a shock)! I did a little bit of drawing, to satisfy my craving.  Now I won't have to draw anything for the next 3 years or so.

My dragon!

Saturday Market

The Portland Saturday Market is a arts and crafts market with food carts in Portland. On Saturday, after DBP, my Madre and I went to the Saturday market. We explored the Market, and for lunch, We waited in line for a Gyro and Baklava. It was amazing! Totally worth the wait.

The Magic is in the Hole

Some of you may know that the title of this blog is as Voodoo Donuts catch phrase.  I will come back to what Voodoo Donuts is in a minute. Today I went on a field trip to Mercy Crop, a nonprofit, humanitarian, secular organization that helps provide countries the basic needs. Today we focused on education for women. It was interesting. After we learned about Ethiopia, we split into groups of 5 and were each given a scenario to solve. After that we had lunch and went back to the school. Before our field trip, our teacher told us that the person who participated the best would get a 1/2 dozen donuts, from her. Lots of kids were trying to participate the most, sucking up to her. I just participated like I normally do in class. The end of the trip came and the teacher consulted with the lady running the thing about who was the best participator. After taking role, I was announced the winner. I was surprised, but pleased. In fact the teacher was so impressed with our group, she gave everyone in our group who wanted one, a free donut. I went into the shop with her, picked out 2 of my 6 donuts, everyone else got to fight over the other dozen and a half and she took some home. These were no ordinary donuts thought, these are Voodoo Donuts! The legendary donuts that people from all over come for(honestly, the only thing that attracts people to them is because they are unusual)!
Here is my booty;

Dragon Boat Practice

On Thursday I went to a water polo meeting and skipped my DBP. Sham on me! haha. Then on Friday I skipped Splash to help out at my old middle schools play, The Little Mermaid. Today was DBP which I did attend. I tried flag catching, which is where you lay out in the head of the dragon and catch a flag the signals the end of the race. I'm small, but not perfect for the job. The coach likes that I'm small, I'm just not tall enough for their standards. If i don't grow another few inches, "Madre" will put me on the rack.  My coach really thinks that I'm going to be the one to do it, as long as I'm comfortable up there. Well, it sounds like its going to happen. I like flag cathching. It it so much fun!!  It is hard to explain, but this image does it.

Of course I don't sit up there like that, but that picture helps explain the feeling. I'm Super exicted for race weekend!!!!!

Prom

My first Prom. What an experience. I had so much fun jumping around and going crazy with my friends. Yesterday we searched through Nostrums rack to find the right dress, and couldn't decided on two. I eventually got a third opinion and chose a lacy red one. After taking pictures in my yard, it was off to Prom. It was hollywood themed, but the only thing that was hollywood was the 'red carpet', that was made out of red paper. Most of the music was crapy, except for the occasional Michael jackson and YMCA. hahaha. I still had a blast, and I know Lake did too.

My boyfriend, Lake, and I. 

My 'Madre'

My 'Padre'

I had so much fun. Thank you. Happy Mothers day!!

Teenage Dilemma: Trouble With Blisters

Yesterday, I made the mistake in deciding to wear my chacos, sandals, when I went on my 30 minute walk. This was the first time in what seems like five years since I last wore them. They seemed so harmless, so innocent. So I gave them a try.  Guess what I have? Trouble with blisters. On the arc of my foot, I have a little blister, seemingly harmless, that hurts like a mother duck. Then, on the top of my oldest, left toe, I have a popped one, that every time I think about it, I am rolling on the ground in pain(a little exaggerated). I now remember why I haven't worn those shoes in five years. I get blisters every time! grrrrrrrrrr! Now it is time for them to go back into the closet for another 5 years! Muhahahahaha!

Dr Who??????

For those of you who have watched Doctor Who please ignore this post. For those of you who haven't, shame on you. haha. Doctor who is a British character who we (Whovians) all want to be real. A Whovian is a fan of Doctor Who. Now, the Doctor's name is Doctor, not Doctor Who. 'It's just the Doctor'(The 9th Doctor). Back in the 1963, the fist season came out. Doctor Who ran for a while but soon went a away. Then in 2005, the BBC started making episodes. Doctor who became popular very quickly. So what does the Doctor do? The doctor travels in a blue british police box he calls the TARDIS. It stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. The Doctor travels through time to anywhere he desires and helps save Earth from aliens and destruction. He almost always has a side kick or two. So what is all of this '9th doctor and 4th doctor' stuff? Well, The doctor regenerates(changes his body, shape shifts, ect.) himself from time to time. They changes actors. Here are some photos of them:

The 1st Doctor, performed by
William Hartnell.

The 2nd Doctor, portrayed by  Patrick Troughton

The 3rd Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee

The 4th Doctor, preformed by Tom Baker

The 5th Doctor, played by  Peter Davison

The 6th Doctor, portrayed by Colin Baker

The 7th Doctor, preformed by Sylvester McCoy

The 8th Doctor, played by Paul McGann

The 9th Doctor, portrayed by Christopher Eccleston

The 10th Doctor, preformed by David Tennant

The 11th Doctor, played by  Matt Smith

My personal favorite is the 9th doctor. I have seen the 2nd, the 9th, and the 10th.

TARDIS

Now that I have given you a bases of who the Doctor is, and one of my favorite TV shows, I expect no more questions from anyone! Is that clear? JK. Here is a little something to entertain your more nerdy impulses, or to just outrage all. It has a reference to several nerdy things.

Reference to Avengers, Hunger Games, Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles on Narnia, Sherlock, and Doctor Who. I'm not sure where the gears are from.

Fun Fact!!!!
The Doctor has two hearts.

Saturday night

Lets rewind for a moment before we talk about last night. On Thursday night I went with my robotics team to the Oregon Tech Awards. We demonstrated our robot to all of the different techies looking for money for FIRST. We might have gotten a few supporters. After about 500 people walked upstairs, we followed suit for dinner. Then, we passed out flyers.
At about 3'o-clock, I went to my friends Quinceañera (15th birthday). A lot of my friends were there, as well as a new friend i made, whose nickname is Robert. It was fun to watch the cultural differences. We also danced our feet off! haha Thank you for all the fun.

What has she been up to??

So....... I know I haven't written one, and I'm starting to slack on my thing, but honestly, this weekend has been one of the best. On Friday evening,  I went to The 4th annual SST Talent show! I had fun. Who know all my class mates had that much talent. On Saturday I went to DB. That evening I went to watch my friend preform in the West Dance concert. I had fun watching some tap, ballet, and so forth. My 'Madre' went into more detail. So. Sunday.  It. Was. Awesome. So I got up at ohhhhhhhh 7:20ish and left the house at about 8:10. I arrived ant my friend's house, Samwise (I did not get permission to put his name on my blog altho I'm sure he doesn't care). He had some other friends of his over and we all piled into one car and drove out to Oaks Park  for the Autism Walk-A-Thon. Samwise, and his friend Gandalf both dressed up as such. We hung around Oaks Park killing time and then we walked, the full half mile around the park. Afterwards, the 6 of us (not including his parents) headed out to go play paint ball! It was my first time ever, and I must say, I was nervous. I was the only girl, but thankfully not the only rookie. Gandalf had also never played. I had so much fun!!!! Thank you Samwise, for inviting me, and introducing me to a new favorite hobby.

(I'm 4th from the left!)

I didn't get any welts or anything. haha. Thank you again.

Long Time, No Write

Sorry I haven't written. Time to catch up. So, on  Friday I had no school, which was dashed by me getting a little cold. However it was relaxing, lying around the house. I had Splash later that night which I think helped. Saturday I started the day with DBP,  followed up with a trip to a newish consignment store where I got a new dress(uggggg), shoes to mach, running shorts for DB, and a new(or hardly used) pair of purple Converse! Next I had a Splash swim meet, my friend Mary's first, my 705th(Just kidding. More like my 927th). That went well. Then the three of us, 'Madre', Mary, and I want to the Beaverton High School production of Legally Blonde where we met up with a middle school friend of ours. We had fun watching the show and catching up before the show and during intermission. The show was fun, and I saw some people I knew performing. Sunday I had Junior Lifeguard, and watched a little Doctor Who. Done with season 2. Time to start season 3!

This Week

The winner from last post is football player(I think. Your comments had me stumped).
This week has been a busy one. It started off with swim team(Splash). I was happy to find my friend, Mary (her  name has been changed. I didn't ask permission to use her name on my blog) had surprised me by joining Splash. Yay!! More friends!! I also meet a girl on the Westveiw high school swim team and also joined Splash this session. On Tuesday I started Dragon Boat Racing. I'm a little sore from that. It was fun. I had a good time learning how to row. Tonight its back in the pool!

I thought this was cute.
