so on friday i cheered at this armstrong game and we won. for the first three quarters it was really not fun at all and it was super embarassing. Then the fourth quarter like everyone from our school left and so we started having fun. We got really into everything and we just didn't really care what people thought anymore. Then after the game, my friends picked my up from valley view and brought my a cookie dough blizzard!! It was delish. We went back to Steph's house and hung out there for a little while. Then I went home and went to bed. Saturday I had practice from 8-12. Death. Yeah. So we practiced from 8-10:45 and then we had tryouts for people on the mat for competitions. I'm the alternate which sucks becasue if I hadn't hurt my writst at practice this summer, I would have had a spot while making the routine, and I would have a spot now. It's ok though. I'm not really worried about it. After I got home from practice I went to the zoo with my friends Elsa and Sam. Sam's dad pretty much donated the zoo, and its really crazy. There is a room in the zoo dedicated to his family. We bugged him about it for a while. It got pretty obnoxious. Aside from that, the zoo was really fun. My favorite part was seeing the MEERCATS!! The praire dogs, otters, and leopards were really cool to see too. After the zoo we went back to hang out at Sams house and a bunch of other people from camp came over that I haven't seen in a while. Jon Mitchell. That was fun. Sunday I hung out with Elsa for a little while. We got KFC. Delish. OH one thing that was on my mind today was that a bunch of girls in our grade were running for homecoming court. That REALLY annoyed me. If girls have to ask for people's votes then they shouldn't be on court anyway. That's maybe the most annoyed I've been at anything in a while. I really could rant about how pathetic it is that people campaign for court, but I won't. I have practice Monday through Saturday for the next two weeks so its going to be really great. I gave up on my homecoming dress I was making. Im wearing this sweet scarf-y dress I got at Paragis next to the chocolate moose in Ely. It's purple. Word.

Lemons.

So this week has been pretty rough. My cheer team is pretty much falling apart and it is really stressful and annoying. Everyday this week, someone has gotten hurt and can't practive. Two of our flyers are hurt, one of them broke her ankle and the other is out for 6 months because of knee problems. Right now we keep having to change peoples spots to fill in holes where injured people left. I'm not sure if I'm going to be in the routine or not. As of now I am not in the routine but I am going to the docors today to get a note to get back in. There are a lot of fliers and and a lot of backs needed, so maybe I'll learn to back stuff. We did get our music though and it's really sweet. And the cheer too, well the words to it. HOxxRNxxExTxS. Let's see on a brighter note, IM GOING TO THE ZOO ON SATURDAY and I am really excited. I am cheering at the Armstrong away game on friday. Not so fun. But whatever hopefully not too many people from Edina will come to embarrass myself in front of. The end. jon mitchell.

Personal Narrative

Alrighty so I am writing about my experiences at camp and how they make me diverse. I'm not quite done with my rough draft but here is a part that I would like to change and improve.

"From going to camp all these years as a camper, I have learned many things that apply to small communities. As a camper at Warren, we learn the four core values of the YMCA, respect, honesty, caring, and responsibility. Making long lasting friendships is also something we learned. As a counselor, leadership and responsibility are the two main things I improved on."

In that paragraph, I don't have much voice and it seems pretty cookie cutter and lame. I like the points I make but it just sounds like a research paper. It's lame.

Okay so this is my first blog. I can't really think of what to write about every week, so I think I'm just going to write about what I want, when I want. Yeah. I guess I'll talk about my life a little and things I like, things I don't. Food, music, animals, you will hear about camp a lot because Camp Warren is my one true love. So this week has been pretty intense. Monday was just another school day, not that great. I had practice after school. I sat out because of my writst. Our routine is looking pretty darn sweet. I'm really proud of everyone on our team. We have come so far in the last week. What else happened? Oh yeah I got asked to homecoming by my friend from camp... yeah. Tomorrow I'm missing disecting fish in comparative anatomy. I'm going to a funeral. So it's really sad in two ways. Ummm what else to talk about.... This weekend I'm hanging out with camp friends as usual, maybe going dress shopping. So this has been my first blog, really lame but alright.
peace? No that sounds cliche. I'll just end abruptly.
