Blogger is back! :)

Yayayayayay. You've missed a lot. Well not really. I don't even remember how long it's been since it left. OH! But I have the beeeest news EVER.

Sooo I auditioned for the musical...and I GOT THE PART I WANTED! :D
I will be a hotbox girl in Guys and Dolls! :)
I'm so excited and greatful , yet really surprised that Ms. Bell actually gave me the part. :D <3
YAY! I'm proud of myself....for once. :)

What is my Earliest Memory?

Well I have no idea if this is a real memory or if this is a dream but I know I was maybe 4 at the MOST. But there's kind of a story first. So when I was born, my mom was married to someone who wasnt my dad and he was really abusive to my mom but then all that was settled and she married my dad not too long after it all happened and it was all normal and fine. But Until I was 5, her husband was still in the picture.

My earliest memory is me being locked inside of my moms husbands truck in the middle of the summer. Its terrible but whatever haha. I remember him getting out of the truck to go inside but I was still stuck in there and I was super hot and screaming and crying.

If that wasn't real and just a dream I still remember being 3 or 4 and going to court things to settle my moms husbands issues so they could get divorced and whatnot. Not the besssst memories but I can't help it. haha:) its all okay now though! :)

Do I have pets?

I do have a pet indeed! I have a cute little orange kitty. :D His name is....Kitty! Hahaha.
We adopted him last year and his name was Max but we didn't like that for a name and he was still a little kitten so we decided to change it. But we never came up with anything cute or clever so it's just Kitty. hahaha. Hes a stubborn cat though and doesn't like me :( And he's only playful when the sun comes up or when it starts going down. Well not really playful...more like demonic. He spazzes out and its funny but kind of scary. I still love him though. :)))

TED Talk 5

Poet Rives gave the talk.

The talk was about how 4 in the morning is a time that seems to be a coincidental time of everything going wrong.

It wasn't persuasive or anything but it was funny about how true it was because when bad things happen, a lot of times it does seem to be around 4 in the morning. A lot of songs and stories of wrongness and tragedies like to use 4 in the morning as the time. Why not 3? Why not 5? Why in the morning? What makes it so universal? It was just funny and ironic.

My Thanksgiving Weekend.

I'd rather not talk about  the entire weekend like how about my aunt died from a car accident she was in with my uncle. But Thankgsgiving was a 7/10 itself. The weekend was a 2/10.

What I am Thankful For

Time to ramble and list and whatnot.
I'm thankful for...
-having both parents who are not dead beat parents in my life
-Being close and NEVER fighting with my parents
-Being close to my grandma and Grandpa
-My different/complex mind
-An easy life
-My good choices and common sense
-My bestfriend/boyrfriend Will. <3
-Knowing I have a lot of support from a lot of people.
-food, sheler and love
-my education
-Muuuusic
-Not being a problem child to my parents. I never give them a hard time and this is going to sound very very rude but they should feel lucky to have me because I bring no trouble like a lot of teenagers. I'm a goody good and proud, :)
-And I'm very thankful for being an only child.

Weee!

I'm feeling quite dapper today. I guess. haha.
I really don't want to make ANOTHER menu!!
But whatever floats Mr. Larsens boat. :)
But meanwhile I must work on a project at the saaaaame time.
So bye.  :)

Thanksgiving!

I'm going to be a bit shallow (yet honest) and say that my favorite part about Thanksgiving is the food! I can't help it. I love food and I love eating. Honestly it DID used to be the fact that I'd be with all of my family and get together but the last couple of years it hasn't been that way and it's pretty depressing.. :( But I won't get into that. I love food. :) And ginving thanks becuase I'm a lucky ducky and I always give thanks simply because it makes me feel good. :)

If I had $1 million.

Just like time, days and whatnot , I hate money. All it does is cause trouble with people. But I'm not going into that because that will lead me on a whole different shpeel of ranting and trying to explain myself.
When I have a lot of money I feel more uncomfortable than when I have a small amount. It makes me feel like I have to but things and I have to spend it. So if I won $1 million I have no idea what I'd do. It'd for sure give me anxiexty but I know I wouldn't blow it. Even though money kind of scares me in a way, I'm smart with it.

Happers. :)

I'm having a goodly day. I dont think ''goodly'' is a word in real life but in Kristis mind , it is and it means really really really good. :)  I think I need to start documenting all of the things I say because I could literally write a book . I have my own lingo, and it's sick with the flow and I don't like when people use my words. I need to make a dictionary of Kristiness.

 But anyway, I'm happers today .. unlike yesterday. I wasn't havin it. I think I was just tired , but I got a lot of sleep so now I'm gooders. :D

Whatevvvssss.

Today is not the best, but what are ya gonna do..
I'm verrrry tired and I really want to hang out with Will except he's really busy and has a lot of work to do and has to go somewhere. So I told him it'd be better if we didn't hang out because then he could get important things done and now he's not too happy. But I'm just trying to help. Yesterday he was all stressed out and had a lot to do and he's going to be doing stuff all week and the last thing he needs is me stopping him. When he DOES hang out with me when he is busy , after I go home he tells me all the stuff he has to do then I feel bad. Other times he tells me he can't hang out because he's busy so that's understandable and whatnot. Buuuuut this week is an important week for him, so I'll let him be.




But then that sucks because he can't hang out until next week , but then he is leaving! jhgskjdghkjdhshlakdhlksgnhhd



oh well.
it is what it is.

Experience with the letter

The urthest I've gotten with my letter is barely finishing it. I'm excited though to have my teachers read it because I like speaking (or I guess technically typing) my mind. I think teachers need to know who they are teaching. Not just as students, but humans. Hopefully my teachers like my obnoxiously long letter and maybe learn a little more about me. I liked the idea of doing this but it took me way longer than it should've but I'll get that done and sent to all of them. :)

Letter to my teachers .

Dear teachers of mine,

          I've been assigned to speak my mind about my personal thoughts on learning, how I'm taught and what works best for me in my learning environment. Luckily, and with all honesty, I really do love all of my teachers this year which is fantastic for me. There's nothing that drives me more insane than not liking a class or subject JUST because of a teacher. This year I don't have that problem but hopefully it's understandable that the teacher really does have the responsibility of a kid hating or loving a class. I remember being really good at a subject yet hating it because the teacher was terrible. Or being horrible at a subject but still excited to get to class and try, learn and exceed because the teacher gave the motivation and hype that made me love it regardless of my skills.

       About tests, I think they're pointless. I know some of my teachers even think they are, along with grades. None of these grades are going to matter in my future. Grading, to me, is like judging. If I fail a test it doesn't mean I'm stupid and if I have good grades it doesn't mean I'm smart. I think testing and grading is a negative matter because it makes me feel like all I'm doing here is being judged. Why can't we just come to school, listen, and soak things in and do acceptable assignments and just keep working on it? Not take tests to determine whether we're good or bad then continue. And actually most tests we're just memorizing answers and truly not even understanding what it is. What's the point anyways? I just don't get it. I can't really explain it well but it makes sense in my head.

       Homework I guess is acceptable in my life. I don't have a job or a hard home life but I know people that do and homework adds more stress to them because school is time to worry about academics, not home where you have plenty of other things to worry about. So it sucks for them but personally I don't have that problem thank goodness.

     The MOST important thing a teacher can do, in my opinion, is simply care. I love teachers who want to know about us. Some kids just want to get in and get out of class but I like to be cared for and knowing a teacher knows about my life and how I am is comforting. Simply just being patient is always reasurring too.

       Now like I said, I love all of my teachers this year and there are certain things about all of them that I really enjoy.

    -Mr. Allen is a realist like me and that makes me happy. It's a nice thing to start my day with. Oh and he asks me if I'm okay a lot but I think it's just because I'm tired probably look sad, but it makes me seem like he cares. But no matter how tired I am I always love to hear him talk , on topic or not.  He actually has good points, he makes the subject fun, and I love hearing his stories and what he has to say.  But I DON'T like when he gives us an assignment and gives us a long period of time to do it. I know It sounds weird but that's just how I am. If he were to be pushy about it I'd be more motivated to get it done and actually turn it in and not be lazy about it.

   That is exactly why I love Ms. Rushforth and her class. I love having a lot to get done in a short amount of time. It keeps me motivated and it's impossible to get distracted by anything else because it keeps me busy. I don't think I ever take a break in that class and that's fine. She seems really strict but she's super nice to me. Plus forensic science is amazing and with all of the work she gives us I learn so much from being constantly focused.

   I've had Mrs. Bell since Freshman year and it confuses me that we don't have a close teacher student relationship. But I do love theatre and Mrs. Bell! Obviously she's always lively and vibrant because she's a theatre teacher but it's always nice to go to a light hearted class.

   I was afraid of Ms. Dobash at first but she is the BOMB. I actually love math this year and I kind of understand it. I absolutely love her little sayings while teaching. She makes it super obvious that she cares about our learning and understanding and you have no idea how much security and comfort that gives me. She's also very caring about students personal lives and that's great to know because I hate when we're thought of as ''students'' and not actual people.

    Coach Larsen is sick. I love the talks he gives us and he always says he's not trying to give life lessons but it is. And I like that. He always seems so confident when he speaks and it's nice because it always sucks to have a teacher who doesn't know what they are talking about. He really makes me thinks and it seems like every time he talks about something I agree with everything.

    I'm so so so very happy I dropped the RIO class because that was insane and then I never would of met Ms. Swanson who is amazing. Right when I got into her class she was automatically like the nicest teacher ever and I was overly relieved. My favorite thing about her is she loves knowing about us at a personal level and that's , to me, the most important thing a teacher can do. She gives off the sense that I can talk to her about anything no matter what. It's always a lovely closure to my day.

   So this is so much longer than intended. I don't talk in class, but this is what's always bottled up. I always have so much to say & with my social anxiety I don't get much across.  



              -Kristi Glover

What I like about myself.

Nothing. Absolutely NOTHING. I don't like anything about myself. I wish I could think of something but really, I can't. There's not much to like.



Okay MAAAAAAAAYBE how nice my hygene is. I'm always clean and try to stay that way and ALWAYS washing my hands. Or maybe thats just OCD. who knows.

Ken Robinson

Ken Robinson made a lot of important points, and I agreed with pretty much all of them. I like how he brought up in the beginning how we're still teaching based on the system of teaching when schools first started. Yes it's standard but times have dramatically over time so it's not fitting to the age today. Another point is how even with degrees , that's not really promising anything anymore. Yeah it's good to have but it's not of too much importance. Students are being pressured into a lot of work and labor within the school and for what? A piece of paper saying we did ''good enough'' ? Ken said himself that every student is different and needs a different type of school enviroment to live in a comforting learning habitat for their own success.

GIF project

My experience with the project was a lot easier than I expected it to be. It's a fast and simple thing to do and if I was a little more creative I could've probably thought of something cool to do.

Anthony Montano

Anthony went on a trip to GCU on Friday and left me alllll alone in 5th and 6th hour. College is NOT more important than Kristi time so I have no clue what he was thinking.

But anyway....
I'm tired. You know why? Caaaause Mr. Montano and I were on the telephone until 1 in the mornin. But that's okay. :) We had nice conversations. hahaha

FIRDDDAAAYY!

It's the last night of the playy! And we're already auditioning for our next 1 acts and I had to cold read today and it was scary. Now I gotta try to get this gif on here!

Journallllll

I have too much to dooo! I gotta type some stuffff and whatnot and have it mostly done before next hour . I haven't had time to write it because of the stupid Fall Play taking over my life. Thank goodness that it's going to be over tomorrow.

Fall Play...Oh Yay.

Today is the opening night of the fall play.. GEORGE WASHINGTON SLEPT HERE!
How exciting. And I'm starving and feel like I'm going to die. I'm so hunnnnnnngrryy. :(

What I would change in the world.

I'd take away hate, judgement, violence and all that stufffff.

TED TALK

1. Who gave the talk?
Alison Gopnik gave the talk.

2. Brief summary of the talk.
She was talking about how babies are thought to be creatures who have no sense of anything. She claimed though that babies actually do think. She discussed how babies are always thinking and have sense of what's going on and probably think more than they don't think.

3. Did the talk change the way I think?
No. not really. I always believed that babies were deep thinkers.

WWKD

If I had to choose between living forever or having an unlimited supply of money, I'd choose the money. But then again I'm indecisive so who knows with meee.

TIC TAC TOE!

BIDGBDHJDBGKZJHND

Anthony is a doctor. :) he's certified and everything! story of my life.
I like when he says puppy. :D


Okay anyway. Today is Friday, soo that's exciting !
I'm going over to Wills after school and hang out and eat and whatnot.
Then later on I'll go to my dads because it's his weekend!
I haven't seen him in a week which doesn't seem very long but it seems like a month haha.

Anthony Montano is my beeeesssst friend.

Yep! He is balls to the wall funny. We help each other in math, we have random laugh attacks about nothing, my mom calls him a coconut, and I flick things in his eye. The end. :D

Hihihihihihi

My mind is on overload right now! I'm thinking of waaaaay too many things. wee bye. stop watching me type....matthew taylor campbell! thank you. :)

Grrrrrr.

It sucks that AIMS retakes and tutoring is the same week as dress rehearsal for theatre soooo I never get to go get help. Aggravating.

MEAN COACH LARSEN!

You marked me absent on Thursday and I WAS HERE!:(

But besides that... I'm dumb. the end.

AHHHHH

Well this is fun. I don't know if I should go to rehearsal for theatre orrrrrrrr go to AIMS retake practice thing. I don't want to go to either, but oh well. They're both annoying.

scrapbook thingy!

Mondaaaaay!

Today is going lovely! :) It't the start of what I like to call ''birthweek'' because OBVIOUSLY my birthday is this week. On Friday. Yep :)

Tonight my lovely boyfriend is taking me to a Colbie Cailat concert as a present. I'm exicteddddd. :D

Success

My definition of success is being happy and fully content with your achievements and goals. It's all about your personal view and how you'd like to give yourself true credit .

Favorite Subject

My favorite subjects differ throughout time because it depends on not only the content, but the teacher. The teacher makes a HUUUUGE difference in the subject. I hated math forever because I always had mean teachers who didn't like to help and I loved other subjects because of only the teacher. My favorite subject this year is math or forensic science because the teachers push for hard work and I like how much they make me think. Plus teachers for both subjects are nice and willing to help me.

Lalalalalalaa

Happy Wednesday... Even though it feels like a Friday for some reason. Well now I have no time to type cause I forgot to do this because I went straight to my banner. OOOOOPS. Okay bye!

Occupy Wall Street

I think we live in an obnoixiously corrupt world. I also think money is pointless. Why must we revolve our lives around rules with money, taxes, and other dumb things. Money just causes problems. People without money hate the people with it who actually worked hard to earn it. People with money don't give it any thought because they've actually become successful and worked hard for all of their earnings. People are just dumb.

Fuh Rye Day

The substitute told us to post a blog. People are arguing with him that we don't have to. But I will anyway. BUT I don't know what to say because I'm not good with posting unless we have something specific to blog about. I'm not good at saying just what's on my mind because it's all complex and then I just start to ramble. And noone cares about what I'm talking about anyway soo what's the point? Right? Haha. Oh but the game was sick last night. I saw coach on the field. yeppppp. Happy Happy Joy Joy.

If I died tomorrow...

If I died tomorrow I'm 99% sure noone would remember anything about me. What I'd LIKE to be remembered for are my videos and YouTube channel. I've made thousands of people laugh and I'm told everyday how people watch my videos when they're sad. I'm pretty sure out of the almost 500,000 upload views that someone would be bound to remember me. It'd be a nice thing to be remembered for from the people around the world who go to my videos for happiness.

Weh en zzz day.

Today is super good, like yesterday. I'm happy. :) And last hour was fun...again. I felt smart haha. And today I get to go pick up my grandpa from the airport. Yay!! He's been back in Illinois for almost a month now. I live mainly with my grandparents so it's weird when he goes to visit for a long time. So I'm happy he'll be back tonight! :)

TED talk 3 & extra credit one.

1.)
Who have the talk?
Erez Lieberman and Jean-Baptiste Michel

What about?
Pictures are not worth a thousand words, more like 500 billion. It's also about how from billions of words you can learn about history and build the future, just from words. Google has a huge part of the deal with it's database.

What did I learn?
I learned that words are kind of underrated as well as history and the want to learn about it. None really cares anymore but there are a lot of opportunities to learn.


2.) Who gave the talk?
Jane Chen

What about?
Saving premature babies by a local chance to save them. Just warmth could save it's life. Jane Chen invented an alternative to unsafe and expensive incubators. It's  similar to a sleeping bag and is filled with a gel like substance that is made to pact body temperature . When it melts it stays within the temperature and becomes a micro-enviroment to the baby. It's $25 which is less than .1% of the cost of an incubator.

What I learned?
I really didn't know that saving a baby was so expensive and complex. Now at least there is Chens wonderful invention and shouldn't be a struggle anymore.

Favorite Holiday

I'm too indecisive so I'll list my two of a few other of my favorites.


-Halloween because it's 10 days after my birthday, it's nice outside, it's the ending of my favorite month, and I love dressing up and getting scared.

-Thanksgiving because that's usually when I see most of my family who lives all over the place and my family makes yummy food and I love that time of the year. :) 

I guess the whole month of October is like a holiday to me. :) The weather is perfect, it's my birthday on the 21st, there's halloween, it's not too hot to go outside and do things, theres yummy holiday food, scary fun stuff, and lotsa other stuff. I call October my birth month because everyday is like my birthday. So I'm SOOOO excited that it's finally here. :D

Who Has Had The Most Impact On Me.

It's time for me to once again be a cliche 16 year old girl. The person besides my family who has had the most impact on my life is my best friend/boyfriend, Will. I've kind of already talked about all this so I'll try to keep it short and not ramble again. For the past nearly 2 years my life has been so different with William. I've never been so easily accepted and loved. From the moment we met we clicked so perfectly and were best friends right away. I didn't have to hold back at all and I was allowed to completely be myself and not be judged. That's never happened with anyone else so I know there's something very special right there. We've never faught, we're always laughing, we're adorable, best best best friends, we tell eachother EVERYTHING without hesitation because ''awkward'' doesn't exist with us, and we're just the bestest friends. I love him in so many ways and I'm very lucky to have him. We are the happiest duo ever. :)

Would the country elect an ugly person to be president?

Ummm... when haven't we  ?

I don't know what to tile this.

Today has been a rollercoaster. Not really because if it was then today would be fun.But I don't have anything to complain about, today's pretty good. Today is Wednesday so you know what that meaaaanss... it's Kristi and Will hang out day. haha. Other than that the only thing on my mind is that I'm not ready for my reading test next hour and that I'm hungry!

Insert Creative Title Here.

Today is dumb. Actually no it's not. Last hour made it better. I sit with funny people in algebra and they let me be myself. So yay  and I have nothing else to say.

Weekend!

This weekend was very eventful. I'd say it started once school got out on Friday and Will and I walked to Sonic to eat a lot of unhealthy yet delicious food. Then we hung out from all that time until the Homecoming game was over so there was a lot of insanity and fun within that time. At the game we both stalked our teachers for most of the time because they're married so we stalked them together because we thought it was interesting to stalk a teacher couple as a student couple. We got pretty creepy and luckily they didn't realize we were doing that.

Saturday was sickkkk. Once I got up I went to lunch with my mom at Sweet Tomatoes with my mommy which made me very happy! Then I got my nails done and once I got home I spent the rest of the time getting ready for the homecoming dance. Will then came over to pick me up and he brought the prettiest flowers and he looked sooooo handsome. :) Oh and my dress perfectly matched his tie, so together we looked adorable as always. We danced (appropriately) and had sooo much fun there. Afterwards we went to Village Inn and we were loopy tired so of course that was fun and we were there until about 1 in the morning.

Then yesterday was nice because I went out to Mesa to visit my cousin and her baby. :)

Gooooood timesss. 

Ted Talk 2.

Who gave the talk?
Jeremy Gilles

What was subject and summary?
It was about having a day have a full global 24 hours of peace. Coincidentally the date chosen was September 21, and is supposed to be a global holiday type of manor. In afganistan their day of peace, there was a 70% reduction of violence , so he figured if he can drop it that much there, he can do it world wide.

Did you learn something from the talk?I learned that it's apparently possible to create peace and hopefully it could last longer than just for a day.


Did the talk make you think or change your mind?
It made me think that it's odd that I've never heard of today being a day of peace. Also it made me think of all the possibilities of change in the world.

Dressing Up For School Spirit.

I think the idea of dressing up for spirit weeks at school is fun, but I don't like the choices. Some of the options are too obnoxious to go with. If not that, we don't know the days early enough to plan anything. Well that's my problem, probably not anyone elses. BUT I'd say the only reason I don't go all out is my fear that noone else will be all dressed up too. I had that happen to me last year, and that was NO FUN.

Test 2.

1. To touch up on parts of the picture and it fixes the colors.
2. It's not going to visually change anything. It's see through.
6. The eraser tool.

14. I think it was planety of time to learn the tools. I think I was able to use them effectively & for the future I don't think anything should be changed.

Oh golly!

Today I have my first rehearsal for the fall play. I'm NOT excited. Grrrr. But Will is in the fall play with me, so he'll be with me after school to rehearse. Then we're going to walk to Quiznos and eat and then my grandma will pick us up and we'll hang out. Awesome Possum.

Title of Wonder

I had a pretty nice weekend. I was supposed to go to Olive Garden for dinner with my dad but he had to work until like 10 at night. So Saturday we went to Olive Garden and it was me, my dad, his girlfriend, her son, my grandma and my cousin. I had some delicious foooood and it made me very happy. Then that night I went to Will's and then I felt bad cause as soon as I got there I didn't feel good. Yesterday was boring and I was not having a good day. Then last night I skyped with Matt and that was the highlight of my day because nothing else happened.

Yummy Yummy

I can't pick one favorite place to eat. I love food and I love eating so I can't pick one. I'll make a list. :)

-Olive Garden because I can eat pasta every day of my life. (My dad is taking me there for dinner tonight. haha)
-Sweet Tomato's because they have yummy salad and pasta.
-Red Lobster because seafood if the best thing ever.
-Burrito Bandito because...it's delicious
-Chipotle because their food is genius.


Now for some reason I'm blanking out. But I enjoy most places I go to eat.
Food makes me happier than it probably should. haha:)

My Title is Better Than Matt's.

Anyway...

It's nice outside! And I'm hanging out with Will today  , so I'm very happy. We usually hang out every Wednesday but I hadn't seen my mom since Sunday so I decided to spend time with her instead. And Will and I are matching today haha. It's pretty cute. I want the reast of the school day to go by fast because 7th hour usually takes forever so it better not be too bad so I can get home already. :)

After High School

I don't have official or set plans for after high school because I'm more of a spontaneous decision maker. I have some ideas, but nothing for sure and I probably won't because I'm indecisive. I would like to travel or move to Hawaii to live with my cousin Jake for a couple of years. I don't have college plans because I'm only 16 and I have my whole life to go to college and decide what I want to do. If I don't move to Hawaii and have big college ideas I'll probably move out of Arizona and find something somewhere else. But then again, I have forever and I don't know why we're pushed about it so much. Everyone eventually changes their mind anyway so why stress and make a decision now?

This is my title

And this is the body of my blog. How exciting ! No not really because I don't know what to say. I liked my last hour because for once in my life I was actually having a conversation with someone. That really never happens because I'm really shy and have social anxiety. So it was fun to be talking but I didn't get my homework done in class, so now I'll have to do it later. But I think it's worth it cause I feel good about my self. That's usually rare too.

So now I'm totally confused on what I'm supposed to be when I grow up. It was for a super long time to work in law enforcement and be a homocide or arson detective. Then for like 3 years it was to do something with media productions. A couple times it crossed my mind to do something with wedding planning but now it's all I can think about. I would LOVE to do that. Plus, I could also be a wedding cinematographer which would be media and weddings. So now I'm lost. yep.

Monday Monday...

This weekend was blah. In my world the definition of blah is ''boring and pointless''.  I spent a lot of yesterday watching 9/11 stuff but after a while that gets repetitive and too much. Friday was okay though because my mommy took me to Olive Garden which made me a happy camper because I can eat pasta all day long. Friday night I got my kitty back! My kitty has been staying with my moms boyfriend cause we moved the weekened before school got in, so we couldn't afford to have the kitty come with us right away cause it's like $300 at our appartments. Soooo we snuck him in finally. :) That was really the only exciting thing. Nothing special. woooot.

It's Friday... Friday!

Gotta get down on Friday...

This week kind of went by fast, even if it was a full week it would've seemed fast. I don't know what I'm doing this weekend but I'm excited to sleep! I'm going out to dinner with my mommy tonight, and I'll probably go to Will's tomorrow. Then Sunday will be the 10 year of 9/11. I never really payed much attention to that but the past week that's like all I can think about. I've been watching videos of it and reading a lot about it, so on Sunday I'll probably be paying attention to the tv and all the memorial things. Sad stuff but it's been 10 years, it's life, & you just gotta keep living. :)

LIFE.

This is going to sound overly cliche with the fact that I'm just a 16 year old girl, but the most important thing in my life is my bestfriend/boyfriend , Will. Once we met we instantly became best friends. From the start I knew he never would of imagined seeing us where we are today, but I always thought he was the most adorable thing ever and knew I wanted to try things out. After a few months of being best friends, we became more than friends on May 4, 2010 and have been a couple ever since. I'm a really shy girl and usually don't interact with people but something about him made me come out of myself and I've always been very open with him. I've never gotten so close to someone so quickly and I've never met anyone whose loved me as much as he does. He understands me, he gets me and listens and shows me unconditional love everyday. I don't know how I became so lucky. He's become my outlet to life. We're so right for eachother, and it's honestly like we're meant to be. I know I'll never find anyone who's a better match for me. We go together so simply. We've never gotten into a fight, we can spend hours together and ever get bored, we have never been mad at eachother, we're inseprable, we're the best friends ever, laugh constantly about everything and again,  I'm going to sound cliche... buuuuuuuut I must say... we're perfect.  <3

Vote

Next year I will be able to vote in the election. Will I? I have no clue. I probably will because if someone gets re-elected (cough cough) I will be very mad. If I vote him out but he still get's elected I'll know I at least tried . I don't know too much anyway and don't really matter in that world but hey, why not?

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

I had a pretty nice 3 day weekend. I got to catch up on sleep so that made me happy! Saturday I spent most of the day and evening with my boyfriend and had an amazing time as always. He made me a yummy dinner and then my dad had to go to work so I got to stay longer than I planned. Then Sunday I went back home to my moms and we had a bbq and she brought her boyfriend over and so I had mine come too. We all had a nice yummy dinner. Then I'm not gonna lie I was pretty bored yesterday. I didn't do too much after I went to breakfast with my mommy. Then I went and found my homecoming dress! We didn't get it right then but then I thought about it allll day so last night my grandma took me to buy it. Yippee skippy. yeah. bye.

My Video Slideshow :)

All these pictures are of me and my cousin Jake. We took all of these over summer through the 3 weeks I spent with him when I went to visit in Hawaii and when we were on our cruise. :)

School Pride

To me school pride means to be proud to show off where you're from. I hate when people complain about school and where they go because it's kind of what you make of it.
I personally hate when people complain about DV. I see nothing wrong with it. I hear people talking crap about it all the time when I really see nothing wrong with it at all. Then again those are usually the people who are usually in trouble and have everyone after them. If you don't do anything stupid and wrong in the first place then you don't have to worry about staff being on your case all the time. Both of my parents and a lot of my family went through DV and now I'm here and proud to represent our Skyhawk Pride . :)

Changing School ?

Today we have to answer what we would change about our experience at school if we could. Personally I don't think I'd change it too much. Okay maybe...

Teachers need to realize we do have lives and honestly sometimes really do not have time to do homework. They need to keep in mind that if all our teachers are being equal, the amount of homework they  give us is times 6. We have other things to worry about. Some have jobs, some have family problems, the issues just vary.

Also I think it's so insanely dumb that we learn so many things that we'll never ever ever EVER need to know in our lives. We know how to read, write, and comprehend right now so that's enough to get us through. We know basic math and I know for a fact 99% of us will never use anything we're doing in our math classes now. And when are we going to critically use science? Never. We again know are basics which is what most of us want/ need to know. This is all what college is for! If we wanted and needed to know these things for our future then we'd optionally take it. I believe we know almost all the basics and actual needed things no later than middle school, academically .

GUESS WHAAAAT?!

I got a part in the fall play. Yiiippppeeee.
I really have no idea what to say.
At alllll. 
And I'm not really in a talky mood. 
so yeah.
bye. 

ranting and such. wooooo.

Things happening lately? Well... I've been having panic attacks everyday for the past week so that's no fun. I have really bad anxiety and with auditions for the fall play is not a nice combination. Luckily I found out if I got a part today so I can stop freaking out.

Other than that I've been missing my cousin Jake a lot. Well he's not really my cousin, but it's easier than saying my moms boyfriends nephew. He's pretty much my best friend. We only met 2 summers ago and we instantly became the best of friends which is rare for me because usually I have the worst time getting along with people. But we're like long lost twins and I love him to death. He lives in Hawaii and I only get to see him once a year, twice if I'm lucky. Every time I get to see him we become closer and closer and the times keep getting better. We laugh about literally everything. 

Over the summer I flew to Hawaii by myself to visit and stay with my family over there. Me and Jake were inseparable the whole 3 weeks. The most we went without interacting and laughing was when we were asleep which we didn't do a lot of. Then after staying with him for 2 weeks him and his brother Dominic flew back to AZ with me, then we all went on a big family cruise. I didn't get sick of Jake one single time the whole 3 weeks which is a good sign cause I'm an only child and cherish alone time but I don't think anyone could get sick of him. It was the most amazing time of my life. So it was pretty hard saying goodbye after all of that time, all the laughs, memories and everything. Now it's no fun without him and it's almost been a whole month since he's been home but it's weird not being around someone that you lived with, bonded, and did everything with for a full 3 weeks.

I realize this is very irrelevant but I really miss Jake and my other family today so all this just poured out. That was very unintentional...so sorry. haha.

Career Goals.

Sadly I'm a very indecisive girl and I'm not exactly sure what I want to be when I grow up. I want to be literally almost everything. Thankfully, within the past year I think I've at least narrowed down my paths. I either want to go into media production - video editing and/or directing- or something involving forensic science - like an arson or homicide detective. Those are the 2 main things that have really interested me and that I think I'd enjoy the most. I equally like both ideas, and maybe there's be a posibility to somehow mix those 2 jobs even though they don't relate.

Pretty Picture Collage :)

My first time using Photoshop, I made this 20 photo collage. Not too shabby if you ask me. <3

Sports

Unless you count dance as a sport, I don't like sports. No offense to anyone that loves sports, but I just don't see the point. I don't enjoy playing, probably because I'm the weakest and least athletic person on the planet. I do dance, but I only enjoy hiphop dancing. I dont like slow, morose, crawling on the floor looking up into the sky kind of dancing. Same with actual sports. I find no joy in watching men run up and down a field tackling each other trying to grab a ball. I don't get interested in tall sweaty guys run back and fourth on a court jumping and bouncing a ball, or watch guys hit balls with bats, or chasing pucks on ice, or kicking a ball in some grass. Noone in my family is a big sports fan except nascar, which I still don't like, unless I'm there cause I like the loudness but I still get super bored after maybe 30 minutes. But I don't see how my parents and other family sit in front of a tv for hours watching cars drive in circles. That's just my opinion though. I'm just a weak little 16 year old girl, so what do I know about sports, right?

What Should Happen?

Today we're supposed to give our opinion on what should happen to a person if they leave their baby in a car , especially on a hot day. OBVIOUSLY I think that's ridiculous and anybody that is dumb enough to do that need to be punished. They need to take their kid away, and get thrown in jail, even if they were only gone for 5 minutes. I don't see how people can do that. If you're a parent or watching over a kid you're supposed to be responsible to take care of the baby and keep it safe. I don't understand people these days...

What I learned yesterday.

Yesterday I learned that it sucks with both Matt Campell and Coach Larsen aren't here on the same day. I was too afraid to ask anyone for help so I spent the whole time trying to fix my picture myself and didn't get anywhere. I was very lonely and bored and I probably should of asked for help, but I didn't, and I don't know any more than I did on Monday.

Weekend. Woot.

This weekend was my dads weekend, and for once we actually did things cause he wasn't broke like usual.

I got there and Friday night and as soon as I got there we went straight to the drive-ins to go meet up with his friends. We got there and I realized none of his friends were even watching the movies and just sitting, eating and talking. So I didn't get why they just didn't have a party at there house. I don't even know what went on through both movies. I sat there and listened to my dad reminisce about old times cause all of the people there were people he grew up with. We were there until one in the morning and I was tired from the first week of school and hot and soo ready to go home.

Saturday night my daddy took me to the races cause our family has a history with racing and stock cars. We haven't been there in a while too, so he figured it's be fun. It was dusty and hot and tired but I still had a good time.

Yesterday I spent the day with my boyfriend, so that was nice. He made me sugar cookies, we got pizza together, we sang, danced, and acted weird like we usually do when we're together. We spend a lot of time together and usually during school Sunday is our hang out days so it was nice to go back to our routine :)

School Kills Creativity

Today we were asked to view a video by Ken Robinson regarding how school for many people now, is not going to do much for them. Like he was explaining, not everyone is going to need more than half of the things here we learn in school. Most students today are going to become something within their own mind set and creativity, and it's even proven that a very high percentage of us are going to get into careers that don't even exist yet. A very small percent of us is going to need to know we learn here. Most are going to do something with arts like entertaining, or creating. This is why I think there is a problem with cutting fine arts classes because that is what is going to help us with most of our futures. I have to say I agree with pretty much everything Ken was discussing in his speech.

Thousands of jobs that aren't even in existance, and that we will be working in, and we're not getting proper education.

Time to talk about my strange self.

I'll start off by informing you that I will be having 2 audiences on here. I'll explain that what I'm talking about within the next paragraph of pointless things about your truly ! :)

I'm Kristi Glover, a junior here at DVHS. I'm very shy at school, but I bet $100 I could be the craziest, most obnoxious, annoying girl you could ever meet. But don't expect to find that out. :)


For those who don't know, I'm a Youtube entertainer. I currently have over 3,000 subscribers and all my viewers are amazing. They're like my only friends. So I'm betting the majority of people on here are a viewer from my channel. I love making Youtube videos because thousands of people that I've never met get to see & accept the real me versus the people at school who don't know anything about me. It's like my second life I guess.

Because of my YouTube hobby, now that I've made this, I'll be using this page not only for my work in this class but stuff for YouTube. Needless to say, they'll be many videos on here to view and I hope you enjoy!
