Thanksgiving break:))


Life is at ease... :))
I thought I would be spoiling my break with studies but I'm actually vegging out haha. Yesterday, I basically did nothing. Today for Thanksgiving we had a lovely meal by my mom:) I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. I did some homework and will hopefully finish my Bible project tonight. Then tomorrow, dun dun dun, is BRIGHT FRIDAY (black friday)! I'm prolly not gna be doing any hw other than reading Sherlock Holmes for my English proj. But that's not really hw; it's good so far! Then comes Saturday, the loneliest day of my break--- science exam study time. Bleh:p I know it's good for me though because if I wait till after our break, I know I'll be busy and won't really have time. Now, I can't wait for Christmas break!!! (That will def. be a break since no exams to study for!)

I'm thankful for:
-for my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, for dying on the cross for my sins and rising up again. In my life I have done so many sins and I am thoroughly ashamed but God is so merciful and forgiving. 
-my wonderful family; even, though I'm an only child and it can be boring, it's still prtty awesome! I can get spoiled more! (Jk)
-my parents are the best; I thank them for all their love and care
-my school; some kids complain about the rules and standards but we are so lucky to be able to go to this school, where no one really gets bullied, wonderful teachers, great education, and the ability to be able to worship God freely
-my church; even though I'm the only teen around my age, it's great to be a blessing to even a small group of ppl, and I'm even able to help in the nursery
-my friends of course; those who make smile, laugh, think, and grow in the Lord 
-our house; even though it's small it's perfect. My room is big and sunny, and it's right beside the school so less gas needed
-nail polish; thank you polish inventors for making my nails so happy and colorful!
-clothes: Old Navy, BR, Gap, Macy's and all the other stores I love
-for autumn; one of the prettiest seasons!
-for food and Thanksgiving meals
-other things that I can't remember right now

Hurry up Thanksgiving Break....

Ahh, another break is coming! I cannot wait... I just want to relax right now (oh wait, I still have to study for my upcoming exams too...:P). And I cannot wait for Thanksgiving AND Black Friday!!! I don't like huge crowds and messy displays but it's actually worth it. We're going to an outlet mall on that day and I can't wait to visit Gap and Banana Republic. BR has one of the greatest sales and quality; I already posted that I got a skirt for $15 from $50 and a really nice mint polo for $30 from $60. Hopefully, they'll have a really great sale on Black Friday with my size! When we went to the sale last year, the store were just so messy and "mobbed out." My mom also got a Coach purse for 30% off! Hmm, maybe my mom can buy me a purple one as an early Christmas prez;) I actually I just really want clothes from Old Navy and more nail polish!!! (Right now I am desperate for a Tiffany blue sort of polish---->)
Oops, gtg back to school work...
That was a nice fantasy break!

GREEN TEAM & MY CLASS CONQUERED!!!

The UpRoar was so much fun yesterday!
Since my class is the newbie class, nobody thought we would win Quadropoly (Monopoly but our school's version). I didn't even think we would win! To earn properties in the game, each person had a mini quadropoly board this week and we had to buy a pack of 10 game pieces for $1 each. I used up $4 overall and almost got my whole board done- I had 4 spots left. The last 30 minutes we had before the game officially ended, our whole class crowded into the history room to trade game pieces. Some of the people in my class spent over $20!!! That's a lot of money... but I guess it's okay since it was a fundraiser for our school AND it helped us win the big quadropoly game. I got to pick our game piece in the giant quadropoly game and I chose the elephant:) I was going to choose the thimble lol but they didn't have any. We had to play really fun challenges like the six-legged race, sack race, crabwalk soccer, and oh, I had to compete in the human wheelbarrow race xP; I had to hold a guy's legs while he crawled to the finish line. Let's just say, my arms are sore when I woke up this morning. After my class's victory in that, we had to divide up into our team colors. I WAS GREEN:))

The class officers (i.e. me and the others) got to sort out all of the freshman students into teams. They were all pretty even but of course some people just had to go and complain that red or blue was stacked. But ha, Green proved them wrong;) Our first game was big ball volleyball. It was so fun even though I barely touched the ball at all cus I am tiny. At the end when everybody in the team was out on the court, they brought out a fourth big ball, except it wasn't really a ball... it was more like a grotesque baked potato with the earth drawn all over it... It was so funny to watch my team try to hit it over the net lol. It was just so lumpy and fat bahaha. I'm so glad that the tallest guy in school was on my team! He hit the balls like a boss. We tied with yellow in that first game. Next, we went outside and played snag the flag. I was hoping for boundaries in that game but no, it was like the Hunger Games. I just had to shake my friend, Karen, and yell out, "Oh my goodness!!! It's like the Hunger Games!! We're all gonna die!" lol!! The first round I wasn't active and the yellow team got first but then I started running after people and I got a lot of flags. In the last round, when I took a snagged flag to the flag bearers, I saw one of my teammates trying to get another girl's flag and the girl didn't see me behind her and I grabbed her flag and my teammate grabbed the other. It was awesome ganging up haha. In the end when they were announcing the winners, the suspense almost killed me. When they announced yellow third/second for the snag the flag game, I was so happy cus then I knew even if red was second in that game, we would still win! And we did:) All of the teams got best dressed; red won most spirited- and they were. But it just came down to the points and my epic green team just plainly beasted! GOOD JOB GUYS!

What was the prize you ask? Well... green team got first in the lunch line (yay! actually I had to serve lemonade -which I didn't even get to have my own cup!) and we got our color put on the GOLDEN CLAW, the most coveted trophy of all times! How cool is that???? (yup.. lol)
Even though the prizes weren't as awesome, the feeling of winning just made up for it. And also proving everybody wrong about how "the red team was stacked" and how "it's usually the red or blue team that wins."
