Hihihi

The topic is about the green screen project, but since I was not a part of it I guess I will ramble! Soo I'm kind of mad about the musical because people are probably already mentally casted and auditions are probably pointless because of that. Like I could give you the cast list right now. It's so obvious. It upsets me because it makes me feel like I have no chance, again. Uggghhh. It's not like giving me the part I want will ruin the musical. I just really hope I get lucky. I am so desperate for the part of Dulcie... hahaha. Soooo annoying. But we will see! So this weekend I gotta get my stuff together!! I have to work tomorrow, and probably Sunday but I also have to do a book report that's due Tuesday but I haven't even read. SENIORITIS AT IT'S BEST! But I get my check today so...yay.

Last Time I Did Something Nice For Someone

I try to do something nice for someone everyday but those are usually small and almost unimportant things. But the last time I did something SUPER nice was last week on Thanksgiving. I work at Mrs. Fields/Pretzelmaker at the mall and the people who close get to take home all of the the leftover cookies. So since I worked the night before Thanksgiving I brought home a lot of cookies to have with dessert. I knew it would be me, my mom, her boyfriend, my grandma and grandpa so I made sure I got specific cookies for everyone. I do that every time I close but not for my moms boyfriend because I don't see him. But it was a big deal that I brought him special cookies because he's not my all time favorite person and he kind of knows that so I felt really nice bringing him nice cookies. I'm sure I've done plenty of nice things since then buuuuut I don't know haha.

I think for the first time in this class I'm not freezing! I'm cold...just not freezing haha. :) So I'm very worried for a project I have coming up. It's considered a book report but the format isn't like one. It's pretty easy buuuuut I haven't read any book and it's due next week! I know I can do it and still do a decent job but I just don't know where to begin and I only have until Tuesday, and I can't work on it Saturday. I better start working on it today but who knows. I do SUPER well with things I procrastinate on (always better than when I work on things for a long time) and I always do it all at once because once I start I keep going until I'm done but I'm just dreading the whole process of doing it hahaha. Its my fault though so I can't complain. Just kidding, yes I can. :) Also next week issssssss musical auditions!!!!! I have been waiting for this!! I am so looking forward to the musical this year because even though we just found out the musical we're doing last week, I had a feeling it would be The Boy Friend so I've been ''studying'' it since summer so I am SO prepared and determined to get the role I am dying to have! hahaha. Okay I think I'm done talking before I accidentally start rambling about something else.

Favorite Christmas Memory

I can't pick just one memory to be my favorite. I just really miss every Christmas that my mom, dad and I were the cutest little family. This year will be the 5th Christmas without them together...dang haha. But it makes me really sad because Christmas was always awesome.

I used to loooove how festive my dad used to get with Christmas lights. Our house was the most popular on the block every year. We would always have people parked across the street just admiring the prettiness. We honestly would have hundreds of strands, thousands of lights. It would take him about a month to do and it was always perfect. I just remember the day he would start taking out the lights was so exciting to me. Now every time I see Christmas lights it makes me really sad..haha. My mom misses the lights too and of we're driving and see a house with lights we'll judge the crap out of it and then laugh at ourselves and I'm pretty sure its a way to cover our sadness. hahaha.

But Christmas was always the same. Christmas Eve night, the 3 of us would leave at about 7 o'clock and drive around for a few hours looking at Christmas lights. Then we'd get back around 9 and then open presents. There were always so many presents for all 3 of us... That also makes me miss going Christmas shopping for my mom with my dad, and for my dad with my mom. But then Christmas Day we would go to my moms side of the family's party thing and then my dads. We always went to both sides which was super cool.

The first couple of years of my parents being separated I would still do the Christmas Eve night with my mom and then Christmas breakfast with her and then go with my dad on Christmas afternoon-evening. But now my dad is in a weird funk and I've been spending Christmas alllll with my mommy and I'm fine with that. I just wish I could go back live those Christmas's again with the 3 of us together...

Smile!

I'm very happy today! But it's funny, everytime I'm happy I always notice I have a bored look on my face. I can be screaming of excitement on the inside but on the outside my face is like blank. So don't let my unexpressed face fool you hahaha. But I'm happy because Will is back home from Texas, and Christmas is coming up and I get payed Friday, and I have sooo many fun plans for December starting next week with musical auditions and getting my license!!!! AHHH! I'm sooo excited. :)) Yayayayayayayay. See, I'm super excited but I probably look so stoic hahaha.

Soo besides Thanksgiving Day itself, I worked everyday of the break hahaha. But on Friday my mommy and I set up the Christmas tree and then Saturday I went out to dinner with my grandma and grandpa. But yeah I was at work most of the time. :) And I'm pretty sure I gained 50 pounds on Thanksgiving but it was soo worth it.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!! & My plans for Thanksgiving.

I'm soo happy that it's thanksgiving tomorrow!! Happy Thanksgiving Eve! haha. Okay my plans for tomorrowwww.... My grandma, grandpa, and my moms boyfriend are coming over and my mommy and I are making most of the food! I'm really excited to have it at out place this year. :) Oh and I wanna wake up early to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade but I haven't gotten much sleep lately and I work tonight so I'm going to be so tired. But I think I'll still force myself to wake up early. :)

I feel like everyone has donuts. In first hour the monopoly winners got donuts, on the way to this class I saw someone with a donut, and now I'm watching the Newspaper people eating donuts. SOOO TEMPTING! I am trying so hard to be healthy...until tomorrow of course. I give myself tomorrow and Friday as a free day but after that I have to continue eating healthy. I'm really wanting to look nicer but I love food, so it's been kind of difficult for me haha.

Oh so yesterday was one of the best days ever!! Sooo in this class (sorry Coach Larsen) I finished making a calendar for Wills Chrismas present and I wanted to see how much it would be because last year I got a tiny discount and it was $23. So I clicked check out and it was going to be $30 but then I remembered I had a discount code. So after entering the code it was about $23 and I was wondering when I could buy it. But THEEEN for some reason I decided to google ''shutterfly discount codes'' and there was a code for a FREE calendar! I got super excited but wasn't sure if it was a fake code so I went back to shutterfly, entered the code and then THE TOTAL WAS $6.00!! The only thing charged was S&H!! So right away out of instinct I took out my card and ordered it cause that was like the best deal ever and it's already been through production, it's sent out, and it should be here next week!! Hahaha I got so super happy and that was just 1 of 3 things that made my day great! So I'll sum up the second thing.. at lunch I talked to my mom and she said she was planning on getting the Hawaii tickets for Will and me for summer!! She said they are really cheap right now and within the next couple of weeks we're going ot have to plan dates and buy tickets! THAT made my day like a billion times even happier! THEN to top it off....I found out the musical is going to be THE BOY FRIEND!!!!! I was DYING for it to be that so I'm soooooo happy!! Will and I want very specific parts and we are super determined to get them! YAY! It was just a super great day! :)

What Are You Thankful For?

I am sooo happy that this was the question because I've been wanting to do something involving what I'm thankful for! So yay!:)

Well I'm a very thankful person because I think I am very lucky to live the life that I do because I know many people would do anything to have a life like mine. I don't mean that in a bragging way, I just think a lot of people are more fortunate than they realize, and I realize it so I cherish it. :)

 Now for a list! I am thankful for:

-My mom who works SOO hard for me and herself to be able to eat, have shelter and ALWAYS fun.
-My dad who even if I don't see him too often he still makes me smile.
-My grandma and grandpa who have always been my second set of parents who give me sooo much.
-My boyfriend Will who has been my best friend for almost 3 years now and he brings so much fun and nothing but happiness to my life.
-My job since a lot of people struggle to have one.
-Music and the fun dances they put upon me.
-Fooood! I love foooood!! I could cry about how happy I am that I can always have food.
-Clean water because I love water and a lot of places can't enjoy their water because it is unconsumable.
-My education! It's free and we have more technology at schools than 3rd worlds could ever fathom.
-The Ellen Show and all the joy it brings to me every day and the hope it gives me to be on the show haha:)
-Technology because without it I don't know what I would ever do as a career.
-My comfy bed because so many people don't even have one.
-My ''cousin'' Jake who lives over 2,000 miles away. We wait alllll year to see eachother and then have the most fun together every time as if we will never see eachother again. I don't think our friendship would be the same if he lived here because I don't think we would cherish our friendship as much.
-My Hawaii ''Family'' (My moms boyfriends family) Sue, Calvin, Sandy, Bruce, Jake and Dominic because they treat me better than most of my actual family. There's nothing better than waiting all year to fly to Hawaii and get there and be able to have an amazing time with the funniest and nicest people who take care of you every day. :)

Blaaahhh!

I am still sick! I even had to call in sick to work which sucked because I'm super new, and because I never miss school but since I work with food you can't go even if you can handle it. I would have gone but my freaking voice decided to take a vacation and I could not talk. When I tried talking I felt like I was going to pass out because it took so much energy trying to be audible haha. I have my voice back now but I sound weird so as soon as that goes, I'll be super happy! I'm glad I was sick last week though instead of this week because being sick sucks to start with, but if I were sick on Thanksgiving I would cry! And then I think next week might be the musical auditions so yeah, it's a good thing the cold is leaving!

I'm glad Coach Larsen is back and I'm glad he enjoyed his time off with his new baby!! :)

I'm not good at blogs with no given topic!!

I feel even worse than I did yesterday! Stupid headcold. I still went to dinner with Will yesterday even though I said I wouldn't and it was really good! I wanted to go out on a dinner date tonight too, but I feel like poop and I just want sick food...like soup. :) I made potato soup last night and it was really yummy! I want to go to Ginger for dinner though. Haha. :) OH I GET MY FIRST PAYCHECK TODAY! How exiting. :) I have already put too many smiley faces haha. Sorrrry. But anyway I want soup but I also want Ginger. I can get yummy hot tea if I go. Hmmmm. Okay I know I'm being really random, but oh well. Next topic... I wish it was a half day. I feel like it should be and it would make me feel less sick haha. I have to sit in classes for 7 hours and try to be as attentive as possible. Being sick at school really sucks but missing school is even worse. Soo I'm here! Obviously. Okay before I shut up, I want to see Coach Larsens new baby!! I can't wait for him to come back and tell us about her! :) I think its a girl...Mikki said it was so if I'm wrong, than woops! I'm so excited for him! :) So many happy faces! Oh okay last thing.. I just went to save this and I accidently hit the ''back'' button and I was about to cry because I just rambled on forever and I would have been upset if it didn't save. But it did. Yay!

EYE ESS CEE KAY

I am sicky and that makes me sad!! :( But then again, I don't know who wakes up sick and is like ''YAY I'M SICK!!'' sooo... hahaha. I just was having a really good week and now my enthusiasm poofed away! I'm still happy though.. just blah. When I get home I want to wrap up in a ball of blankets, drink hot tea and have some soup. That sounds so gooood! I feel bad though because Will and I had dinner plans for today but I don't think I can taste and I don't really feel up to eating something super nice. Just soup! Maybe he can bring me a slushy or some other really hot or cold drink. :) But I get my first ever paycheck tomorrow so maybe we can go out to eat then! :) yumyumyum. Hopefully I feel better!

I hope Mr. Larsen is having fun with his new baby! That must be so exciting. :) I am an only child but if I were to have siblings I would want a whole bunch of siblings, not just 2-3. I looooove being an only child in every way possible, but I think it'd be really cool to have an enormous family! I hope he brings pictures! :)

Yay!

Soo yesterday was super fun! After school Will and I went to the Corner Bakery Cafe and it was super yummy AND healthy! Then we walked to the mall and every time we go I NEVER get anything. Like I said on here yesterday, I am not like most teenage girls because I hate spending money. But also like I said yesterday, I wanted wintery clothes so yesterday I actually bought new clothes!! I am so happy and I'm sure Will was also glad that I finally got something cause we usually just walk around and I only window shop. I got a skirt, cute leggings, 2 comfy sweaters and Will got me a scarf! Yay! And then as a snack when I got home I had celery and peanut butter which made me happy cause I was healthy all day! Go Kristi. So for once I actually look like I'm stylish haha. But then I have to go home and change into my work uniform and look ugly. Oh well. It's my last day of work before I get my first paycheck! WOOO!

BRRR

I'm cold. I wish I had cuter winter clothes. But ya knoooow, I get my first paycheck this week soo maybe I can invest in some! I really want to save up for Hawaii tickets for Will and I though. That's my main focus with money saving and then once I get the tickets (hopefully in January) then I'll just be saving like 95% of my paychecks. I'm super good at not spending money. I think that's pretty impressive for a teenage girl. :) yaaaay. So yeah, Hawaii tickets, maybe some new clothes, and a new retainer and then saving to move out! Yeeeee.

So over the weekend I went to the Academic Decathlon competition to see Will on Saturday and he did amazing! He is so freakishly smart! He got 3 first place medals and 1 silver! I'm so proud of him. :) But then again I wonder what is the point of learning things like trigonometry, Russian literature, space exploration academies, and worldwide economics if all he wants to do is be a chef... but whatavaaa! haha. Whatever floats his boat.

Describe Deer Valley in 5 Words

Well Deer Valley is a lot different from how it was my freshman year. It's kind of weird actually. My freshman year the school was all cool and ghetto. The classrooms were small, the halls were tile, the rules were not strict at ALL. Then sophomore year is was a whole bunch of construction, billions of false alarm fire drills, switching classrooms to temporary rooms from construction, watching the rooms become fancier with more room and smartboards. Then last year it was all finished and fancy looking and cool. :) Now it's all fancy but the rules are ridiculous and its not as free spirited as it was my freshman year but I still like DV. :)

Okay so 5 words:
-Uptight
-Spirited
-Loud
-Fun
-Diverse

Diverse is the best word to use. Deer Valley is a lot of different things and the students are very diverse as well. We have such a variety of looks, religions, ethnicity's and personalities and I really like it. :)
One REALLY cool thing is that I don't think DV has any cliques. I know some people think so but I beg to differ. People mix really well here and I think there are some pretty random groups of people who talk who you wouldn't expect from those types of people. Like I'm a super shy loner, but popular people are really nice to me. The cheerleaders are a super nice to everyone which you'd never expect.  Besides a few bruises here and there, every ''type'' of kid easily gets along with anyone and I really like that. :)

What is My Favorite Class? Which is Most Valuable For My Future?

My favorite class AND the most useful for my future both happen to be my favorite, and it happens to be THIS CLASS!:) I want to open a videography business after taking a couple classes at the film school at Scottsdale Community College. I love love love media and editing. :) I'm glad I'm in this class but I wish they had it all 4 years that I was here, not just my last 2! :( Maybe sometime in my future I can be a media production teacher on the side like Coach Larsen here at DV! That would be super cool. Or maybe if he still is teaching it here, I can come visit to talk about my career and/or to help with cool and special assignments. Now that I think of that, that sounds super cool. Just be like ''I was in this same class as you __ years ago and I learned a lot of helpful things and now I have this videography business bla bla bla and Coach Larsen is awesome!'' I want to do that now hahaha.That would be so fun to come back every once in a while! I have to convince Larsen to stay a few more years. hehehe.


___________________________________________________________________________

I find language arts to be pointless at this point, we could have stopped after like Sophomore year because now it's just a bunch of random knowledge and not everyone is always going to speak properly and use correct grammar, and the people who will don't need to take the class.

Math has been pointless after 8th grade. I will NEVER use a bell curve, use the quadratic formula, use ANYTHING that I've learned in HS math EVER. Instead of doing pointless math classes, they should have more ''econ'' type classes because in there we learn important things like budgeting, writing checks and buying cars and houses and such. They should have maybe 1 math class, then 1 or 2 whole years instead of half a semester of econ and that's it.

History and Science are a bit pointless too, but I won't go into detail.


What I think is if we DO need to learn all the special and in between the line type things in academics, then go to college for it. Don't put all of us through the pointless things if its only useful to 1 person. If you want to be in journalism, be a writer, study literature -take the classes in college. If you want to be a scientist or chemist- take those classes in college, and so on. We should be able to pick every class every year, but oh well...it's my last year in high school and my brain is now mushed with random knowledge. But that's just what I think. :)

Thoughts On Election Results

I was kind of expecting Obama to win a second term. I'm not happy about it, but I'm not super upset like some people. I wouldn't have been happy if Mitt Romney won either because like I said yesterday, they both kinda suck. I kind of wish Romney would have won though just to see everyone freak out  (good and bad) ahahaha. That would have been hilarious. But anyway, like I said yesterday, presidents don't even do work, they give work to congressmen and the military and they do it. And I really hate all these teenagers getting all wound up over politics because none of them even know what they're taking about and they are extremely annoying. I'm glad this will all settle down soon so everyone can shut up. I'm not expecting anything good to happen to the country because I don't believe anyone can fix us at this point, but I know Obama will not help at all. haha. Weee! Do I always end my blogs with ''weeee?''... I feel like I do. Hmm. Okay bye. :)

Who Would I Choose To Vote For

      Well I actually could have voted today, but I didn't register to. I think both candidates suck and I'm not educated enough to vote anyway. That's my own fault because I could do research myself but it's too difficult to know what's true and isn't true and it's annoying. Also, I don't know enough about the national issues, and when I try to watch debates it's like a foreign language me and its all a bunch of blah. The presidents aren't even the ones who fix all the problems anyway, it's the congressmen. I think voting for congressmen is more important since they do all of the work. Plus, our votes don't matter. Our state people are the ones whose votes are counted. Our votes are only counted for our state issues. I don't like politics, I don't like the candidates but what I do like are all of the parodies on Saturday Night Live. It just shows how dumb both of them are. :) I really like Jay Pharoah and Jason Sudekeis' impersonations. hahahahaha :)

FIRST DAY OF WORK!

Sooo I got a job at the Mrs. Fields Bakery at the mall and today is my first day of training! I'm kind of nervous but I think I will be fine. I just hope I catch on quick so I can be done with training and do it by myself and know it all already. Being taught and watched makes me nervous but I gotta do it sometime in my life haha. Yaaay! I hope they're nice and understanding if I mess up or ask questions. EEEP!

Deer Valley

No mater how many people claim to hate this place, I love Deer Valley. I liked it even before I got here. My mom and dad went here, I had some cousins that went here and its just... I don't know. I was always excited to get here and I know I'm going to be sad when I leave. I will be glad that I am done with high school but sad about saying goodbye to Deer Valley. I also like how some of the teachers have been here forever. That would be cool too. Ohh maybe I can be a media production teacher here! hahaha that'd be awesome. yay. :)

I Got A Job!! :D

Soooo my first interview landed me a job! On Monday I will begin training at Mrs. Feilds Bakery/PretzelMaker at the mall!! I'm so excited! :) I'll finally be making money hahaha. I turned my application in on Friday, got called Monday, had an interview and was hired Tueday! It was pretty fast. And the interview wasn't much of an interview. He didn't ask me anything, he just told me about the place and told me to come in Monday for training! hahaha.
