Week Twenty-Three

This week started off very badly for me. On Tuesday, it was the one year anniversary for the day I lost someone very close to me. So in that case, I did not come to school that day and I am glad I did not. Instead, I did activities to get my mind off of it because I knew it would be a hard day to get through. However, later in evening, things got tough and thoughts circulated my mind full of amazing memories considering how close we were. Then on Wednesday, it was tough being at school but by the end of the day, I was trying to get my mind on the pep rally GnD would be performing at the next day. On Thursday, the happy, excited mood of everyone really got me feeling better and looking forward to my birthday weekend. I am really excited considering Monday is my birthday and not only that but it is a Leap Year and I am also turning 16. So over the weekend I am doing lots to prepare for my, (hopefully great) week.

Week Twenty-Two

     This past week was a pretty steady week for me overall. After having a tough week last week preparing for the dance show and everything, I wanted to chill and get back into focus this week. This week I saw my final grades for this term and I was surprisingly happy and was excited I was able to pull off lots of the grades I got considering I had lots of borderline grades. The best part of my week however, was on Friday. On Friday, a friend whom had been gone for about three months came back to surprise our entire dance team! We were all very excited because we did not think she would be back this week and have been missing a big part of our dance team without her. On Wednesday, it was also my Grandma's birthday and our family celebrated that pretty much all week which was nice. I also did something separate for my Grandmother for her birthday, considering we are very close and she means so much to me. So overall it was a pretty laid back week but I think that was what I needed, after coming out of such a hectic week before this.

Week Twenty-One

This past week was by far the most hectic week for me of the year. Starting on Monday, for the GnD show that would be on Friday, we had to wear GnD attire in order to get peoples attention for the show. We do one show annually every year around the end of January or beginning of February, and this year it was so late because we found out it could not be at our school in January, so quickly had to find another place to do the show. The week started  off ok, but as it got later and later in the week I knew the show was getting closer and closer and we were not ready at all. When Thursday came, GnD missed that entire day of school so we could go to this school where the performance would now be and practice on there and tech everything. Usually, preparing on stage like this takes us a week, but this year we had to do it in one day. On Friday morning, we were al exhausted from having danced 14 hours of dance on Thursday and we were not in show mode. However, as we were getting ready for the show, I felt better and better and everything ended up coming together pretty well. I had lots and lots of people who came out to support me and I was pleasantly surprised at the end. After I went out to dinner which definitely was the cherry on top to an amazing day. Then the weekend ended up being great as well. Valentine's Day was nice but I did not do much, it was also nice having Monday off so I could rest.

Week Twenty

     This was the week before finals and this entire past week was completely dedicated to studying. Of course there were finals I studied for more in some classes but this year I was pretty nervous because there is so much material we covered in each class over the first semester. But the good part about the week was I got to control my sleep schedule, meaning, some days I would stay up late to study for the next days finals but some nights I would go to sleep early in order to feel refreshed for the next day. Overall, Tuesday was probably the easiest day for me. I only had Chemistry, gym then lunch. However, Wednesday had the rest of my main classes and Thursday was not too bad. The best part of the week was definitely Thursday, the feeling of being done with finals felt great and I then had a great long weekend.

Week Nineteen

     This week was really a wake up call for me. On Monday, I had the idea that finals was in two weeks instead of next week! However, gladly enough I had already started studying for some classes but I was still feeling very nervous that it was next week. This was however a pretty chill week for me other than that, except for in dance class. In dance this past week we had been preparing for our performance at the basketball game that took place on Friday. I had been excited all week to perform, considering GND usually does not dance at basketball games but just at our shows. Not only this but I was even more excited when I found out the cause of the game and how it was for Ally, Mr. Peek's daughter. When Friday came the hype of everyone in school wearing the "Ally's Allies" shirt was great and it just made me really happy inside to see everyone supporting the cause. The game also ended up being very fun as did the performance. After the game, lots of people were recognizing GND for our performance, and I also ended up having a pretty busy weekend. This was of course good because it was a fun weekend that I had spent with friends but by Sunday I realized finals was closer than I had been thinking....
