~coming~

2014 is coming. I only have two days left of 2013. I have been thinking about goals to set for this new year. I've been thinking about my upcoming events and trips.
I'm determined to have straight A's by the end of the school year.
I hope to play lot's and lot's of softball. To get more specific, I hope to play catcher a lot. I didn't get a lot of catching time in the fall season, and catcher is where I am comfortable. Catcher is where I shine.
I'll be having my sweet sixteen birthday this year. Really, it's only about two months away. I'm looking forward to this exciting day.
I'll be half way through high school in June. It's hard to believe. I've enjoyed high school so much, and I really don't want to leave.
I have set up my 2014 calendar, and I am ready for what ever the new year has to throw at me.

~time~

Time has passed. A considerable amount, I might add. I have checked, and the last time I posted was February of this year. I just haven't been very motivated to make a blog post. But now I'm back. So what have I done in these past 10 months?

March- I turned fifteen and that has been so much better than being fourteen. It's been amazing.

April-We celebrated Easter up in Rhode Island and it was lovely seeing my grandparents, and other family members.

May-Stella had her fourteenth birthday. I've been trying to get along a little better with her.

June- I managed to complete freshman year of high school. It was tough, but I did it. Stella finished middle school so she was able to join the high school community. I got to see my first Baltimore Orioles game, and it was awesome. They won, which makes it even better.

July- This was the best. I got to go to the softball world series in Salisbury. Even though I had to get up at 5:45, and even though we didn't win, I had such a great time! And really, we made it halfway through the competition. Then about a week later, I got to see my first Washington National's game.

August- This was our relaxing month. But I did get to go to a falconry camp in Pittsburgh, and it was blast. I got to hold a Lanner Falcon, and it was one of the most exciting moment's of my summer. I later got to see the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Miami Marlins. Later that month, Stella got to ring the national anthem at a National's game. I almost caught Jason Werths' three run homer, but it landed in the seat behind me.

September-We took our annual trip to Cape Cod and as usual, we had a great time. I started the 10th grade and Thursday classes started up. It felt great to see all my friends again and to start making some new one's as well.

October- For Halloween I dressed up as my made up superhero Solarbeam. I started to really focus on my school work. I am determined to get straight A's.

November-We decided to go camping for Thanksgiving. It was fun, but I think I left our camper a total of three times.

December-My Dad's birthday has come and gone, and today is Christmas. I have given gifts, like a Pirates jersey from my mom, and I've received great gifts, like Tardis socks in my stocking.

I plan to be a more vivid blogger this coming year.

~week~

Ok. Just one more week untill i'm fifteen. The last week of waiting, for pretty much anything, is always the longest. It just never seems it's going to get here quick enough.
From now untill March 6th, I have to go to the dentitst, go on a trip to New York with my Mom, school, two or three softball practices, and that's acually it. That should mean this time will go even slower because I don't have much to so between now and then. Oh well.

~fourteen~

Well, I've got just nine days left of age fourteen. Then I'll be fifteen. It's hard to believe. It doesn't seem like a year since I turned fourteen. Time sure does fly by.
Age fourteen: On a scale from 1-10 (with ten being the best) I'd give it a seven and a half. It wasn't great. I had my bad days, but it seemed there we less than the year before. Luckly, I had much more good days.
I got to finish 8th grade, whoch was a relief. Thoose three years of middle school, I seemed to hit a low. I wasn't as happy, eispecally at church. In 6th grade my dog, Dodger died. That was the start. i felt...left out with my church friends and I was thinking about going back to public school just to get it to stop.
Luckly, this year I felt like I at least had one friend at church who I enjoyed hanging out with. I then got confirmed, and I got into highschool. Highschool has been so much better so far. I feel much better. I can't wait to turn fifteen. I'm sure it'll be great.

~fire~

So....Thursday Classes were....interesting. Especially Physical Science. I will explain.
There we were. We just finished our test. We had gotten our schedules and we were about to go over them. When suddenly, off went the fire alarm. I thought it was just a drill. Everyone in every class was lining up and soon, a bunch of homeschoolers were lined up outside.
I found out later that it wasn't a drill. There was really smoke, but no one was harmed. Thank goodness!

We then got to drop eggs off of the teachers suburban. If our contraption saved the egg from breaking, we would get bonus points. The group I was in saved our egg Freeman.
