Do I like Blogging?

Okay so when we first started this project about blogs in December I thought it was the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. I didn't want to write about my opinion on the internet. I had absolutely nothing to write about and it honestly took me about an hour to even think of something to write about. I hated the project.

The first couple blogs I had trouble with. I didn't know what to write about. I also am never really around a computer outside of school so it was hard to remember to be by a computer to actually write the blogs. I finally started writing about things that was happening in my everyday life. Almost every senior is worried about college and what they should do with their future, so that's one of the main topics I wrote about. I also wrote about high school, my relationships, and my struggles I encountered with them.

After writing numerous blogs I actually found it relaxing just venting on here and writing about whatever I was going through at the time. It became pretty easy for me to come up with topics to write about and I really do enjoy blogging now.

I miss gymnastics

My entire childhood my family kind of struggled with money so I was never able to be apart of any clubs or sports teams. I spent a lot of my time playing outside with my friends around our houses. Ever since I was probably about 5, I think, I wanted to be in gymnastics. In elementary school starting in kindergarten there was always a month out of the school year where they set up gymnastics equipment in the gym and that was our P.E. class. It was so much fun. I loved it and was actually not that bad for being really young.

I told my parents I wanted to be in gymnastics, and my mom listened to me and knew of a place she has taken pictures at for years that she could look at. It was a pretty cheap place; probably the cheapest one in the area, but it was still too much. It took all the way until I was in fifth grade for my mom to have enough money and she finally agreed to let me go.

Normally, girls start in level one and work their way up learning the basics. I started in level 3 and when I competed I actually did really well. I think my first competition I got 4th place. The next year in level 4 I got first! Normally only 12+ girls are allowed to compete at nationals, but because I got first I was allowed to compete. Again, I got first at nationals. It was so much fun!!
I went on the next two years, up until eighth grade, competing the next two levels. It was stressful on my body. I got back problems that I'm still experiencing today and a broken ankle, but it was definitely worth it.

I quit my freshman year of high school. It was a hard decision, but I wanted to be involved in school activities like swimming, diving, and track. I knew gymnastics and everything else would have conflicting schedules, so I chose school activities. Sometimes I regret it because I was good and I enjoyed it a lot, but being in school activities introduced me to a lot of people and it made my high school experience more enjoyable.

PROM :)

So this is my prom dress. I am IN LOVE with it :)

It's way expensive, though. And I feel kind of bad about it costing so much. $490 to be exact with tax and everything. Yeah.. way expensive. My deal with my mom was that if I pay for all the dances besides prom.. like my dress, my hair, my nails, the food, and anything else I wanted... that she would pay for prom. She said my limit for prom was $500 dollars on the dress. I didn't mean to make it so close to 500.

I tried on so many dresses. I knew I wanted a strapless dress because I have never had that before. I also wanted a semi-poofy dress. Not like really big that it bumps into everything, but not tight against my skin.

I'm excited for prom. It's on May 16th. I really want to take this boy with me... I hope I can, but since he got kicked out of school a year ago, he's not totally allowed to go to our schools' events. But, I think if I talk to the administration and be like this is my boyfriend and it's my senior year and the dance isn't even at our school. He should be able to go. I would be Sooo Happy!!
