Update


My, my, my...what a dreery day! This morning I woke up and I just felt absolutely terrible! My stomach was cramping and I felt really dehydrated. Then when I tried to drink, it just about came right back up. So much for that. But then the pain got worse and I took some bentyl, which relaxed my stomach muscles. Even now, three hours later, I still feel like my whole lower body is about to fall off, lol. But anyways, I really felt like writing a blog, but I wasn't sure what do write about. I guess I'll start with my favorite sport: volleyball. Sad, sad, sad news.....I won't be playing this year. My parents said that I can't play this year because they are too busy to drive me around. I seriously have not been able to get over it. I acted all cool and stuff when they told me, but inside I felt like there were shreds of glass running through my heart. Volleyball has been one of my first priorities in my life, and I never wanted to give it up. I'm extra discouraged because I'm going through my last years of even being able to play any sport on a team. I wanted to see my old friends. That was also my way of staying fit for this summer. But it just isn't happening :( I wish I was old enough to drive or I had a friend who was free to drive me. I guess now I'm going to have to find some creative ways to keep fit for this year. I've already actually gotten a couple of ideas. I'm going to make it a habit to go out and ride my bike around town for a while a couple times a week. I also am going to try to run around the block a lot. But to me, that is just sooooooooo boring! I cannot just run around without being occupied with something else. I think I am going to buy one of those straps that you wrap around your arm with your iPod in.

I'm also very interested in making money this year. But, sadly, I currently don't have any babysititing jobs right now, and I obviously have made it clear that I can't drive. So I talked my parents into paying me if I read some big, classic novels. My mom always used to give us little prizes whenever we would read a whole chapter book. And my parents have always encouraged us to read a lot because they beleive that reading is the way to achademic success. But I don't enjoy reading long, hard, classic books, but my mom wants me to get a nice transcript, so in order to make money, I need to read, read, read, read, reeeeaaddd. Yeah, you get the idea. But I'm hoping to be able to read books like Pilgrims Progress and Pride and Predjudice and Sence and Senceability. I know they're all hard reads, but if I make twenty bucks a book, I believe it's worthit. It will also help me to spend my money wiser, knowing I really saved up for it and worked for it.

So that's all I have to say for now, ttyl!
