Elise Jones: February 2010

BLECK! is the only possible word i can use to describe how i feel right now. it's been an incredibly interesting week. so wednesday it was confirmed that one of my friends is pregnant. i had really been rootin for her and she had been trying so hard to do what was right, but everyone makes mistakes and now she is going to have a baby. i decided that maybe she needed a visit and some comfort so i didn't really go to school thursday. i signed myself out and went and bought her flowers and talked with her for like 3 hours. it was a really good discussion and taught me a lot about when to listen to the spirit even if it means missing school :) then friday was state basketball playoffs. i ended up joining cheer like 3 weeks ago along with kylee brubaker and rachael larson, so state was supposed to be super duper fun...WRONG-O!!! i hadn't had the flu in 6 years and low and behold i find myself puking up spinach dip all night in a ghetto motel in prescott. that's the sickest i think i've ever been in my whole life. i had a fever and was shivering like CRAZY business. good thing leah was there for comfort and to force me to drink some gatorade, and jean was an angel and stayed with me in the van while the rest of the cheersters went shopping. anyways that was the most miserable 5 hour drive home of my life. good thing there was no school monday (today) to give me one more day to recuperate (i'm feeling MUCH better now) anyways we had rehearsals for 4 hours AGAIN this morning, and i had kind of been excited for them all week--i know typical elise choir geek to be excited for out of school rehearsals--but having not really eatin a meal in 3 days, rehearsals didn't go so well. i sat on the couch most of the time and attempted to dance the last run of the show. then for family home evening tonight my lovely parents decided to force me to fill out scholarships. i want to go to college, and i want to go for free, i just don't want to do any paperwork. i dont know where i want to go or what i want to be yet though, so scholarships are loads of fun making up ambitions and feeling crappy knowing that i really have no clue. i'm hoping to get full ride to more than one jr. college though and then at least i'll be able to pick and not just be stuck with EA. anyways this is mostly just a venting post because it's been such a crappy week. maybe this week will bring better fortune....at least i can't get the flu again right??? oh and i figure...while i'm at this, i may as well post some random pics that wouldn't get posted otherwise. ness bought me a bomb camera for christmas, so i've taken A TON of pictures sense then....heres some fun ones
