October 25, 2008 - HERE I AM!!!

Posted in My Day

You never thought it'd happen, did you? lol yeah it's been forever, I know.... over a month. Instead of trying to catch you up on everything that's been going on, I'll just give you a quick synopsis and then move on and try to keep you updated more often.

I'm a junior in highschool which means the end is in sight and I know what I have to finish in order to graduate. That's nice, because I can move at my own pace and decide how much and when I get everything done, but it also means I know I have to get it done and I don't have all the time in the world to do it. If possible I'd like to be at least mostly finished haflway through my senior year so I can then concentrate on graduation. So that's one excuse, school.

Basketball keeps me on the run... literally. :P I have practice every Tuesday and Thursday. I'm really enjoying it, although it's tough sometimes and shin splints aren't fun, and it can be really frustrating to be one of the oldest on the team and yet not have any experience. But I've learned alot and everyone says I'm doing okay for it being my first time. We had our first game a few weeks ago.... we didn't win, but it was a lot of fun. I didn't know if I'd get any playing time but I did... I was a bit confused at first but it was still a lot of fun. The other Patriot teams won, though, so we were proud of them. ;) Number two, basketball.

I've started cleaning a house with Chrysta every other Friday. It's not too hard and it's pretty fun working with a friend, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to earn a little money while learning skills that I'll always use. Yesterday we went even though it was our off-week, to do some extra cleaning because the lady we clean for broke her foot. After we were done she sent us to the neighbor's house to talk to her because she wanted *her* windows washed. lol So there's number three, work.

Other time-consumers are the computer programming classes I've been taking every Thursday for the past several weeks. They're over now, but they were fun and I learned some things... it'll be nice not to be late for basketball every Thursday, though. Check out the blog I made for that: www.emygirly.blogspot.com Church takes up most of every Sunday now that we live 45 minutes from it, and Wednesday evenings. Most weekends lately I've spent the night with friends or something. I've joined 4-H teen leaders, I'm the county reporter, so that should be fun. We'll meet the first Tuesday of each month.

There's just a litte taste of how busy I've been. Now that I'm somewhat caught up (don't expect me to get caught up with pics lol) I'll try to post once a week or so.

Luvya'll,

EMYJOY

Hi Emy! It has been a long time! That is so funny that you are cleaning someone's house! I just got a cleaning job too! My horse back riding students moved away, so I knew I needed some other way to make some money. I did get three new siblings that I am teaching riding lessons to now. So, now I have two jobs!
You think 45 minutes is a long way to church!! We drive an hour and fifteen! lol :>)
Write when you can! I have missed not talking to you.
