We went to John harden yesterday and we got scored a proficient rating out of distinguished and the sight reading after that we blew it out of the water and got positive comments of how well we did.
ReplyDeleteOn the way to John harden we sang our parts(it was awkward most people didn't even sing)

ReplyDeleteONE MORE WEEK!!!! Even though we only have one week of spring break why? We should have two weeks off from school give us a break more than one week, but why only have one week why not two weeks?

ReplyDeleteWhat i learned about when i was in school today was about Ms. Kentucky coming to our school and telling us about how we can be very successful if we just open up our minds to new ideas experiences in life and to always have a positive mindset and be open minded. And also to treat your mind , body and soul or spirit right. I feel like i've learned a lot today sorta.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is our first Freshman Softball game at home against an amazing team. Hart County. If you have watched us play, you would realize how we are not ready to start the season yet because Coach does not have anything planned out like he should. Half of our team don't even have jerseys yet. Our coach needs to get his stuff together before the season starts next time.
ReplyDeleteFriday, second best day of the week mostly because the next day is Saturday, but friday is to special to me. i get to go straight from school to practice then i don't go to work, and go straight to the batting cages! After a long session of batting i like to go home and eat a huge bowl of peanut butter cap'n crunch(a healthy and nutritious diet). Then the weekend comes! I'll stop there...
ReplyDeleteWell, this weekend I am kinda busy. Tonight I have track practice and after that I am going to go home and sleep because I am tired from last night. I didn't get home until 10:30 last night and didn't go to bed until 12. Then, Saturday I have my grandmas 60th birthday to go to which is at my house, after about a hour or two that night, i'm going to my friends house to stay the night because she is having a party. Finally, Sunday I am probably going to my other mammaws house to see them because I haven't seen them in a while.
ReplyDeletemiss kentucky wasnt that pretty kinda suprised she was even able to be in the top 15 for miss america. i like pizza i hope thats what i have for dinner. carl winlsow is a fictional person that i mad up. i cant wait till yogurt is turned into twinkines.

ReplyDeletei didn't really enjoy miss Kentucky. I thought it was kinda boring, she said the same speech that everyone else tells us.
ReplyDeleteMs. Kentucky was pretty and she had a great personality. She described everything that she was talking about and that is what I liked about her. She stayed on topic about everything. She can sing really good too! Her dress was cute and she had good style. She was telling us how to be a successful person and trying to make us a better person.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I'm going to a party. Daniel and Jacob might come over after the party because have nothing else to do. On Sunday I'll probably go riding and work on the dog pen.
ReplyDeleteThis NCAA men's basketball bracket is messed up. Some nobody teams are beating so good teams. I don't care if my bracket is messed up. All it matters to me is that Louisville goes to the final four or the final game and win it all back to back. It will be amazing if they win it back to back. ESPN is saying that Louisville has the highest chance to win it so I hope they do. We are in the Sweet 16 now and we have to play the number 5 team, Saint Louis. It will be a good game but CARDS fan believe we can do it. Everyone knows who won't make it, UK. Kentucky don't have a chance to the number 1 seed. But they have to get past Kansas state. They are a good team and I won' them to win so I can say we made it farther.
ReplyDeleteThursday's event for our concert band was fantastic we got a proficient rating we performed at John Hardin High School and saw a couple bands perform and it was amazing. The bus ride was awesome too even though the bus almost caught on fire and it almost broke down on the way back to Thomas Nelson, but it was a awesome experience for my first time at contest.
ReplyDeleteMiss Kentucky gave alot of helpful information.She gave us advice from what she has learned in her life.She had no problem explaining anything.She also has a great voice she has alot of talent.Her speaking skills were very fluid and she knew what she was talking about.
ReplyDeleteLast weekend my sister, her friend, and I went out around seven. My sisters friend threw her cup out the window and her charger fell out too. They came and got me and we stopped at the gas station. While we was there, a police was parked out side. My sister yelled "There's a cop!" When we was pulling out the police followed us. We turned down this road and he continued to follow. Finally we pulled into a driveway and turned the car off.

ReplyDeleteThis is about a police officer that saved someones life in a burning house. That is a good thing for a police officer. They are not usually the one that is saving people in houses. Firefighters are the people that save them so I think the cop is a hero to the man he saved.

ReplyDeleteI miss it. I miss the feel of your knuckles throbbing after you hit them good. I miss the feel of fist of face or any open opportunity. I miss the feel of coming home and running hot water over your hands and it burning. I miss the sight of your knuckles always purplish, and busted up. I miss MMA, to be honest.

ReplyDeleteEveryday she goes through the pain! She does everything she can to stay alive, to stay here on the Earth as God made her! Sooner or later she will realize she goes through so much because God is testing her. Testing her to see if she will survive and become stronger than she was before and more successful! No one knows how much they hurt her because she doesn't show the pain in front of them! She will wake up and go through pain and suffer at home. Then she goes to school and it gets worse. Makes her day feel like she was needed. When she got home from school she would take more than in the morning or at school! She barely got any sleep so she was normally in a grumpy mood unless some one special made her smile!! She is still her and hopefully she will be in 10 years!!!! Help everyone who is alone and anyone who is being bullied!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope UOFL wins the NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP this year. PERIOD!
ReplyDeleteI cant wait for summer. The first two weeks will be the funnest because i'm going to Missouri and gulf shores. Once i get home i'm going to have to start working and football practices. but i also cant wait to float the river, campfires, riding fourwheelers, and party's.

ReplyDeleteWhat would you do if you was to wake up to your brother, sister,and mother in your room but they was not alive they was dead but not dead they were zombies. Would you be able to kill them or would you let them eat you. I know it would be hard but if you really want to live stab them in the head, But if not have fun getting your skin taken from your body
