It's been cray over here, ladies and gentlemen!
In the past month I've-
applied to my first colleges. HOLLA
It felt quite bittersweet. Just yesterday, my friend and I were talking about her new college and she texted me in reply, "Ha don't worry senior year will go by fast, you'll be here before you know it!"
taken charge of National Honors Society, one of the largest clubs in our school.
Since our advisor resigned, I as President, have taken charge. I now have a total new respect for all club advisors. It. is. so much. work.
played hours upon hours of tennis (this weekend alone was well over ten hours)
As much as I love tennis, I'm so glad the season is so short. Tennis just takes over your life when so many other things are fighting to take the same spot. I have so much to do and so little time. I'm gonna quit sleeping and eating here pretty soon. However, the season is going great. Despite girls team's inexperience, we went undefeated this weekend! Yeah, you read that correctly. We went 16-0 against three different teams around the state! And the boys are kicking butt as well. They went undefeated all of Friday but lost 2-3 on Saturday.
chatted with an inspiring from that I only get to see once a year
I got to know my friend Karen at work. She's that type of person that tells these random stories of her life whenever she wants. She isn't shy and gets her opinion out there. Her jumping of jobs has really inspired me. She's been in the forest service, worked as an air traffic controller, volunteer firefighter, landscape artist, and worked summers at a little gift shop with me :) And yet, she still doesn't know what she wants to be. It'd be cool to have experienced all the things she has, but I think I would want something steady throughout my life. Yet, she's not afraid! She's sixty-something years old and still hauling butt.
chatted with my best friend, Michelle
Want to know something funny? At school, I don't make an effort to talk to other human beings. I only see my friends if they're in my classes. I literally run between classes and run errands. The only people I make time to talk to are Skye and Michelle, both who no longer live here. Skye's in Belgium and Michelle moved to Boston. She's like, the only person I text haha. One day we were discussing soccer. She said it's a lot more intense in Boston than over here, which I'm sure is an extreme understatement.
I replied with one of the greatest text messages I've ever sent. Not meaning to brag...
"It made you question why you wanted to play? Because soccer doesn't change. It doesn't matter where you play or what language you speak. The rules are the same and everyone shares the same passion and drive for the sport. I'm sure you want something that is the same in the midst of all the change. And subconsciously, you wanted to make friends too!" BOOM.
got tickets to go to Boston. EEEE
My sisters always tell me to be very careful when I talk about Boston. I'm going for a journalism convention, but they say that "convention" makes me sound nerdy haha. They're too cute for their own good. Now every time I bring up Boston I tell who ever I'm speaking with that story.
I get to see Michelle while I'm there, too! I live the best of both worlds, as Hannah Montana would say.
pitied myself because my little sister has been asked to Homecoming and I have not. HAAA
Dear Abbey,
ReplyDeleteI am literally crying reading your blog! I miss you so much! I am homesick for friends :( I am so proud of you taking charge of your senior year! You only regret the chances and offers you do not take. Trust me there girl. I love you!!! Will you go to homecoming with me??

Skye

haha oh Skye you have no idea how jealous I am of you! You are living the best of both worlds, as Hannah Montana would say. Miss you! So much! And I might actually make it back from Regionals for homecoming!! I'll see you there :)
DeleteWhat Hannah Montana forgot to say is that both worlds also have their worst! You have no idea how much I miss you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAw Skye! You have no idea how much I miss you. The other day my mom said that sometimes she wishes she was born ugly and rich. That way we could be touring France with you!!
