High School Sucks Sometimes

I apologize in advance.  This post isn't going to be funny or entertaining or anything like that.  This is something, like my last rant, that I need to get off my chest because it's been bothering me.

High school is tough.  There are so many things that you have to do to be considered successful: good grades, hard classes, extracurriculars, community service, and a job.  Also, there's that whole social life thing.  We all say we have no social life, but that doesn't mean we don't need one.  Without my friends to rant to, I would be a charred lump from all the steam, anger, and frustrations boiling up inside me.  There's so much going on in high school, and whatever you do, you're expected to do it intensely and to your highest potential.  How is that supposed to work?

Volleyball Swag

So.  I've told you about my school life and I've told you about my nonexistent social life, but I haven't really talked to you guys about my sport, volleyball.  Since I am one of two people at our school who plays for a different club than everyone else, maybe you guys are curious about what volleyball's like for me.  Or maybe you just want to know what volleyball is like in general.  Or maybe you just don't care.

Brain Things in the Head

Words words words words words words words

Phew.  Got the opening sentence over with!

The SATs and ACTs are pretty much the funnest tests ever.  JUST KIDDING.  (And yes, I know 'funnest' isn't a word, but I'm a rebel and I do what I want.)  Anyway, I've taken each test twice, and I have friends who have taken them too.  Yep, we nerds party hard.

Only in Park City

Hey y'all!  Long time no see!  I'm really sorry about not posting in so long.  I've been meaning to, I pinky promise!

I've lived in Park City for about eight years, and in those eight years I've come to the conclusion that our town is a little bit. . . special.

Park City is definitely different from most places.  Sometimes it's hard for me to see that, since I've spent the majority of my life here, but some things that people here take for granted are seen as highly unusual in other places.  So, here is a list of things that only happen in Park City!

Christmas Misadventures

My cat just walked over my keyboard.  He also opened iTunes, and when the icon starting jumping up and down he tried to eat it.

Well that was a nice intro.

ANYway, Christmas is coming!  YAY!!!!!!!!  I desperately need the break from school, even if I have two projects to do and three tests to study for during our time "off."  Haha, yeah right.  Teachers take the break as an opportunity to load us with crap.

Nerd Problems

Bonjour!  In case you don't know me, or are just extremely oblivious, you know that I am a nerd and a bookworm.  Well, being a nerd presents completely different problems than being, uh, a normal person.  The things nerds enjoy can be strange, the problems they face are unique, and I have to say, I've found myself in positions of complete nerdiness multiple times.

Without further ado....  10 problems of being a nerd!

I Was a Very Strange Seven-Year-Old...

Hi.  Back again?  :)

Recently, I found a notebook in my closet from when I was in first grade.  It's a pink Barbie notebook, with flowers and hearts and who knows what else.  As I pulled it out, I thought, this is gonna be good.

And it was.
