Hmmm...

Yes, I did get everything done that I needed to on Tuesday, just not too well. I made a 60 on my Physics test - which I am retaking on Monday afternoon - , a 85 on my History test - but I used some old extra credit points to bring it up to a 90 -, and I made a 87 on my Spanish test.
Friday night was the last game of the season against Boyd. Boyd won. The score was something like 48-24. I was bad. The worst part was that it was my brother's last time ever playing football on an organized team like this. He didn't even want to leave the field. When the game was over I saw the biggest guy on the team come up to the bottom of the stands to talk to someone and he was crying. Tears were streaming down his face. He was trying to smile, but it was a fake "I'm trying to make this a happy moment" type of smile.
Since the lake was flooded this summer, our city didn't have a fireworks show (the fireworks are shot off from an island that was under water and there was no "beach" for people to sit on and watch the fireworks). So instead of a 4th of July fireworks show, TC had a veteran's day fireworks show. Tonight was also my brother's friend's birthday party. My brother has hung around with these same friends since middle school, and all of our families are really tight. Anytime anyone had a party, everybody goes. Anyways, it was his 18th birthday party, his real birthday is on the 14th, and my whole family went. This family just built a new house right on the lake, so we watched the fireworks from the balcony. The view was perfect. Then Jenna, Nick, Shannon, Mary and I (plus Elizabeth, but she is only 5 and really didn't do anything) played ping-pong while the guys did who-knows-what. We ate dinner, did cake and presents, and then the guys went outside, while us little brother and sisters went upstairs and danced to club music that KissFm was playing. We had such a good time. Nick really didn't dance, but kind of slept for most of the time. He is not really one for dancing. Jenna, Shannon and I just danced. None of us really have any skills, so we tried to white-girl dance. It was really bad. It was nothing dirty, just stupid looking. Then Nick called this person who had sent me this text that read "Keep running from me". The number that texted me is (972)-464-6661. I live in the 972 area. The person who answered sounded weird so I made Nick hang up before he said anything else. The guys downstairs were doing some pretty funny stuff. They were fake fighting, but one of the guys makes these really real sounding fight sounds. Then one guy gave some of the other guys back rubs. They formed a back rubbing train. That same guy also sat down next to some other guy and just starting holding and caressing his hand. It was pretty funny, or maybe you just had to be there.

So...Much...To...Do...

The past couple of days have been insane. I have had tons of homework and I have three test tomorrow. Our band (including my best friend) are in San Antonio for the state marching band competition. Senior night was on Friday and we won in the last ten seconds -thanks Jason- again!!! The pep rally was amazing. The senior footballs players danced to "Crank dat" by that Soldier Boy guy (that is totally not he spells his name). On top of all this I am working on my brother's Eagle ceremony. I have so much to do, but so little time. (isn't that always the case!)

I really shouldn't be writing since I have so much to do, but everyone needs a break. (According to my dad, people who take breaks are "losers". He says this whenever my brother takes a break from homework or scholarships.)

We had a football game on Thursday night against McKinney High School and we won!! Oh Yeah! That is two games in a row!! Next Friday we play Frisco Centennial, the school with staph. Hopefully it doesn't spread to us.
Today was early release for the high school because of semester exams. At TCHS we only have four classes a day. They are 1.75 hours a piece (that is 1hour and 25 minutes for those people who don't know their decimals and/or fractions). That means that at the end of the nine weeks, it is really like the end of the semester. 1/2 credit classes are one nine weeks, 1 credit classes last for 1 semester and 2 credit classes last all year. That means I will only have Physics until Christmas break and then I will have another full credit class for the end of the year, it turns out to be math. Integrated classes like BioChem and Humanities are 2 credits so they last all year. Confused yet?
There was a stabbing last night in TC. Click here for a link to the new story.

Maybe we should start playing rugby

Oh Dang. We lost again last night... 42 to 15. And a correction needs to be made on last night's blog, our record this year is 1-7. Really bad. I hope no one other team has to go through what we did last night. It was inevitable that we were going to be beat, but we could have at least shown up for the game. The first play was great, and then we fumbled the ball. It was all down hill from there. and the guy who stripped during the pep rally... he is usually a flag guy during the games, but he was mysteriously absent. Hmmm....

Friday Night Lights (for real)

Tonight is the third football home game of the season and next week is homecoming. The different dress- up themes are:

• Monday - Wear your class colors
• Freshmen - Green
• Sophomores - Orange
• Juniors - Blue
• Seniors - Red
• Tuesday-Wall Street Tuesday: Wear you buisness clothes.
• Wednesday-Out Smart the Falcons: Wear yout nerdiest clothes.
• Thursday- Clash with the Falcons: Wear clashing clothes.
• Friday: Mums and garters

But all that doesn't matter until next week because we have got to play really hard to beat the Lobos tonight. They are undefeated and we are 2-5. It is not looking too good for us. The theme for this game is Grease Lighting on the Lobos. It really doesn't make any sense, but the pep rally was fun. Everyone dress up like the characters from Grease and one of the theater guys gave the speach that the coach in Grease gievs about "crushing them". It was so much fun. During the masoct charade, Erin, a crazy senior, started stripping. First he took of his tie and then his suit jacket. He tried to unbutton his shirt, but he couldn't get the buttons undo so he just pulled it over his head. Once he got it off he noticed the principal standing in front of him with her arms crosses. It was so funny. Maybe you just had to be there.
