Decisions, Decisions

So lately, I've been in a bit of a funk.

No the kind of funk that you kind of just hop out of in about a week, or sleep for thirteen hours straight and then you figure out that you were just really tired. Don't worry, I've already tried that.

I have the wonderful decision of trying to decide if I want to change to a bigger public school or not. And I've been given a month to decide, and quite frankly I don't know.

So I've decided to make a list of the pros and cons of each school.

Molalla 

Pros:
~ It's a bigger school, so I would have a ton more classes to choose from (i.e. drama, theater, all that good stuff!)

~ I would get to meet a lot more people

~ My friends are going there too, and I have friends I used to go to school with there (Shout out to Nicole and my Brookie Monster!)

~ The dress code would be less strict

~ The teachers would be good at teaching.


Cons:
~ The classes are bigger. (I work better in smaller classes)

~ The teachers wouldn't necessarily know you as personally as at Country Christian

~ I might not have all the same classes with my best friends

~ I have to go to the same school as my brother

~ I have to get up earlier in the morning


Country Christian

Pros

~ The classes are smaller, so you know everyone individually

~ The school is one big family, and everyone truly cares for you

~ I get to learn about God everyday, read my Bible everyday, and Worship every Friday freely... AT SCHOOL!

~ I would get to play a lot more when playing basketball

~ Half days on Fridays


Cons

~ There aren't as many opportunities for what you want to major in

~ The teachers aren't the best

~ The school lunches suck.

~ No wearing shorts, except for in PE


Well, I'm very indecisive. I really don't know. Although, it really helped me to make these lists...

Sorry if I bored you.

... Yeahhhh....

Happy Friday Everyone!

Well, Hello!


Oh My Lanta! It has been forever since I have blogged, about anything!

I guess I have just been really busy with school work, and basketball, plus volleyball just started! I am one busy girl!

I thought I could squeeze this in here, because, you know, I have time.

So, what's been going on with me you ask? Here, sit down, this could take a while. Would you like a cookie? *sends virtual cookie*

Okay, so the main reason why I have been so busy is because of science. We just recently had our science fair, and I was so stressed out about my project. I have to admit I was really irresponsible this year and waited until the night before to get started on the actual board. I'm telling you, that is the last time I ever do that, okay. In the end I was pretty happy about how my board turned out, considering that it was a 4 hour thing! I ended up getting second place on it, so I was pretty happy.

Basketball finally ended! :( We made it all the way to the championship game and lost, so we came in second. It was heartbreaking. I was so upset, but then I looked back at it and was happy that we had made it as far as we did. I have to say it was a really amazing season, and I couldn't have asked for a better team!

This is our team when we went to the mall (dressed in 80s outfits) and did a scavenger hunt! It was so much fun!
Okay, i'm just gonna keep going on about random stuff, because, yeah, that's what's been going on. 

I just started volleyball again last Wednesday! It felt so good to play volleyball again! I missed it a lot, and the great thing is, our team is amazing! Last year, we weren't very good, at all. (we lost every. single. game) but this year, we have a whole different team! I love it! But we are only one practice into the season, so that's that. 

Easter. 

My Easter was pretty good, actually. I ate lots of food!

The day before Easter we, as in my brother, mom and I, went to  my moms friends house and we were just going to spend the night there, because since we have no more family that lives in Oregon, we didn't want Easter to be just the three of us. Let's just say, we had a lot of fun laughing our butts off... And can we please talk about that weather for a second! 

Oh my, it was amazing! I loved the fact that I was sweating! I just love the sun! 

So here are some pictures from Saturday and Sunday(: 
Yes, I was wearing a tank-top and shorts(From Saturday)

Me and My mom. We are so weird. We know. 


We went to the Saturday Market in Portland, this is in front of the "Keep Portland Weird" Sign


The BEAUTIFUL weather!


Me and My friend Melissa(:

Easter was a lot of fun though, I ate so much food. 

Moving along.... 

Yesterday was my birthday! I am officially 14!

Overall, my birthday was a ton of fun! I had a half day at school, which was a plus to my day, but school was really good. A kid in my class kept teasing me that he was going to show up at my house and come to my birthday party. He just kept ranting on about it, and I have to admit it was really funny, because one, my party isn't even until the summer, and two, he said he was going to show up in a speedo. Awkward. 

Added too that, my dad drove all the way from Portland out to my school to bring me roses, cupcakes and balloons! It was awesome. And after school my friend Audrey, Sam, and I sat in the commons sucking the helium out of the balloons making our voices sound funny. (I almost died of laughter, Sam really knows how to make me laugh) 












So my day at school was awesome, I laughed a lot. Seriously. (Oh I have to mention this. I got a dollar from my best friend, Hailey. Score!)  :D 


I got home and waited for my mom to get there because we had plans to go get my triple helix piercings! When she did we left right away. 

And as I was in the car, I started to get extremely nervous. Needless to say it's been 14 years since I have gotten my ears pierced, so I didn't know what it was going to feel like. I was so scared. This is what the triple helix piercing is, for any of you that don't know: 


Since flat-backs like the earrings in the picture above are illegal to pierce your ears with now, I had to get hoops, which looks the same-ish. I'm just happy that I can change them out in a few weeks, so it will look like the picture above! 

Getting it done didn't hurt that bad. My mom said I didn't even flinch. But let me just say... it hurts if you sleep on it. Seriously. But I like it, so I will have to deal with the pain. 

After I went and got my ears pierced we went to the mall and I got me some One Direction t-shirts, so I can wear them with pride! :D Finally when we were done with the mall, we went and ate at my favorite resturaunt, Changs(: 

I had a really awesome birthday. 

Aaaaannnddd

I think that's about it for this blog. Yeah, that seems about right. 

Happy Saturday Everyone!
