Interests: I enJoy swimming, running, playing guitar, singing, writing, and most of all...studying about the string theory. I absolutely love theoretical physics and math. I like dancing and acting, but haven't done too much of those yet. I'm very daring and I have a list of "things" I want to do before I die, if I don't die while attempting them! I love watching a good movie and playing video games. Lord of the Rings is the best of all time, and Johnny Dep is the hottest thing ever, since Little Joe Cartwright *sigh*. =)

| Apparently, I never made it back from that BoJo trip, because I was supposed to update when I got back, but I haven't since! Also if you look at the date on the three most recent post, you'll notice a pattern on the days that I "chose" to update. If I stick to that pattern though, I can't post till March 29, then July 29...n-month 29 (you see, I'm going through math withdrawal over this break).
Unfortunately, I still don't have time right now to update, so I guess you'll have to wait till march. I know, tough isn't it? I just had to stay true to the awesome pattern I started!

| Good swim meet, very good meet. I won my 100 yd. Freestyle. I was very excited! I love my swim team. We promoted (coach) Bob to "Sir":
*Bob yells*"100 Butterfly! First group go!"
*We shout*"Thank you sir! May I have another?!"
Well, now I'm off to BoJo (BJU), for our vocal ensemble competition. I am psyched. Tomorrow is going to be a crazy ride down!
Beside that, I have nothing else to say right now. I'll have to update when I get back.
See ya homies.

| I was born for creating disasters. I naturally get myself into situations that are detrimental to my health. I easily find the worst way possible (that a situation permits) to injure myself, and promptly execute it.Why? I honestly have no answer for that.
Joel and I were at Peyton and Greg's house playing capture the flag. It was late and dark, and I conveniently wore a black shirt. Joel and I happened to get on the same team, and we being the sneaky agents that we are both set out into enemy territory to find the flag. I however, not being quite as sneaky as Joel (or perhaps just more bold) was caught, and confined to "the jail". After five minutes, I was given a command to "make a break", and I started running for the gate opening to get back on my own turf. At the same time, Greg (opposite team) was breaking away as well. As fate would have it, we were both heading in the same direction, at the same time. I saw him right away, and adjusted so as to avoid him, thinking that for some reason he might try to re-tag me. I wasn't about to let that happen, so I kept running faster. He did not see me till the last possible second. His flight was driven by someone else chasing him, so tagging me had never crossed his mind. In order to get across the line without getting tagged, he dove through the fence opening, with his arms spread out, leaving me no where to go. We collided with a sickening thud. My knee smacked his arm, and I flipped over him, landing sideways on my leg. After the dust had cleared, he shook himself off, and laughed at how funny the situation was. I was not so fortunate. I was lying there in the dirt and leaves, hugging my knee, and gasping because of the pain. My first thoughts were, "Oh no! It's broken; I tore all the muscles. I'll have to get surgery, and I'll never be able to swim or run again!" But thank God that has not proved to be the case! After the initial pain wore off, I was able to sit up, and inspect my injury. No broken bones, thankfully. It is most likely a pulled muscle and bruised cartilage.The rest of the night, I had to hold ice on my enlarged knee, and watch the rest of the games. That was the worst torture that night. It did seem to improve Saturday night, so I walked on it some. Sunday morning I woke up, and it was stiff and sore. It hurt a lot, so I sat down to brush my teeth in the bathroom. When I got up, my vision got really blurry, my head started burning, and I felt extremely nauseous. I had locked the door on my way in, and it's difficult to unlock from the outside. All I could think was, "I can't faint in here. I have to make it to the door to unlock it!" My sister heard me moaning, and ran to the door right as I barely managed to unlock it. She caught me as I went down, down, down into darkness........... I was out for a couple of minutes, but when I woke up, I felt so much better. Except for my knee, for that was throbbing. I had to stay home from AM church and PM church! It stunk. I haven't gone to swim team practice all week, and I won't be able to go to our first swim meet of the season. That is just slightly disappointing. I think my knee is getting better though. I have to keep ice on it most of the time to keep it from swelling, and it feels kinda numb and tingly right now. On the positive side, I've had lots of time to get my HW done, and I don't think (I hope so at least) I'll need anything like surgery, which is definitely a praise!
Just me injuring myself, yet again. My mom said I should never play a 'contact' sport with boys again. I disagree. I have so much fun exerting myself physically, I just often forget that I am not invincible. I just need to learn to be more careful.
So that was my "excitement" for the week. I hope yours was less eventful!

| I love Autumn.
I love the colors of Autumn. I love the mild temperatures. I love wearing sweaters and scarves. I love playing in the leaves. I love taking walks through the forest, and listening to the crunch of the leaves beneath my feet. I love smelling the aroma of cinnamon and pumpkin spice. I love drinking hot apple cider on chilly days. I love hearing the wind whisper through the trees. I love the change in season.
However, I do not love the cold. I would prefer autumn to stay mildly cool, and not go on straight to freezing winter. But there is beauty in every season, and I love the "good" changes!

Can you tell I had fun changing all my colors?!

| Ugh, school started............ahhhh!!!! My summer is over!!
The benefits:
1.) I get to learn new things, and I like to learn new things!
2.) I am graduating this year, which means this is the last year of High School!
3.) I can get smarter.
4.) I have something to do with my spare time; albeit all my time, spare, and free is now devoted to my HW.
5.) I am getting a good education for my life.
6.) I am learning and practicing lessons I will use for the rest of my life.
7.) I get to learn more about the wonderful world God created, and how we as humans interact with His creation.
The disadvantages:
1.) No more sleeping in.
2.) No free time.
3.) Work from 7am till 11pm (except when I take a break to get on the internet  , though it is becoming rare).
4.) No more Summer break, no more sun, no more playing outside in the yard, sniff sniff. (well if you don't count running in the morning.)
I could think of more disadvantages, but I do have HW to do, and it's better that the good outweighs the bad!
I'm going to be sooo stinkin busy this year, it's not even remotely, or possibly close to being funny!!! 
Such is life. Sometimes life is tough, but I thank God that He is in control. Without Him, I am nothing. Really, it's so humbling for me to think about that. He is the I AM of everything. I am the nothing of nothing! (Funny how it really is, in comparison to today's society.) But because He is I AM, He is my justification, propitiation, and sanctification, which then makes me, in Christ alone, EVERYTHING! That is a wonderful place to be, my friend. To enjoy the full benefits of a relationship with Christ because of His redemptive work on the cross, is the most wonderful thing you could ever -ever!- experience.
That's all for now!
