"Hey! Guys! Kara got a medal for Cross Country!!"
And they all gather around me and congratulate me and tell me how proud they are. Which then leads to Heather, Nicole, Britni, and Ryan coming over to the parking lot to help me search for the damn keys, which were never found. My mom took Heather and Ryan home, and I got in trouble when I arrived at my own home. But the fact that they all cared so much about me, and were so proud of me for something that isn't their thing, because Drama is all our thing, but cross country is new for me, and I love it, and they were all so happy for me that it made me feel so good, because these kids really care about me. I don't think I could have better friends.
(I went to the office the next morning and someone who was very nice, ended up turning the keys in, to which I was very grateful.)
Anyway. Classes are doing alright, I think I got one A and three B's, or two A's and two B's, which I would be ecstatic about. Friday I took the day off to catch up on some work because I really just haven't had the time to do it all, but it was really worth it. Then at cross country practice, we played medic and ran a mile, and rehearsal we did some scenes, in between which Britni felt like doing my makeup (Thanks Brit:p) The Homecoming game, we slaughtered Alchesay 62-14, and I got to see my dearest Cassidi Marie, who came up for the weekend, and will probably see again today.
It's been a good weekend so far, and I'm just really glad I have the people in my life that I do right now. They're good to me, I need them, and I really care about them. So guys, thanks for everything:)
Also, I have some new things that I adore that I feel like sharing at the moment.
Books: I'm in love with The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. It's like nothing I've ever read before.
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picculi, which I know was one of my books over the summer, but I still love it.
And Nicole lent me seven books today, which I'll probably start on tomorrow.
Music: The new Owl City CD (Ocean Eyes), All American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Plainville, and some others. Nicole also burnt me over six Cds of new music, and I'm still trying to figure out which ones I like best.
TV: I've become very close to Gilmore Girls. Hahah, it's my new show, and I love it. Along with Glee, Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, and So You Think You Can Dance.
And last but not least, new people.
Nicole Kreger. She's not new, but this year we've become really really close. I adore her, she's sweet, hilarious, and very smart. Let's just say, if it weren't for her, I would have died already.
Jamie Huth. She was cast in our play, and even though she's moving soon, I'm really glad I got to know her. She's a good addition to our Drama family.
Sidney Kizzar. We're in AcaDec together and she just cracks me up. She's also in the play, and is a great actress.
Ms. Abel! Our AcaDec coach, and basically, I just love her. Both Cassidi and Heather have been really good friends with her in high school, and I'm just glad I'm finally getting to know her. She's awesome:)
My cross country family! Alex, Brian, Deveny, Tessa, Brazia, Alyssa, Celise, Brandi, Kyle, they have been really accepting. I adore all of them, they're funny and sweet, and I don't know what I'd do without them. Cross country has been really good for me this year.
Anyway. I feel like it's gonna continue to get better. Trying new things has been really good for me this year.
