But what is a rainbow, than colors out of reach.
Today I have completly confirmed that I am control freak, procrastonater, and OCD about numbers and order even though my room is always a mess. I also like summer nights and long walks in the rain.
just kidding about that last part.
well... not really....

The old has gone, the new has come. 2011
ahh 2011. I have had a lot of time to think about this year while either being in new york with my family for two weeks or stuck in my house for one. As I was sitting wrapped up in a blanket, where you most likey would have found me, I have decided that this has been one of my greatest years of my whole. entire. life.
i can just hear the intense background music playing as i wrote that. I will now proceed to try to fetch memories from the past year as i think about how I am dreading going to school tomorrow. Excuse me if these are wildly inaccurate.

Rockbridge Wyldlife Winter Weekend. I think out of all the wyldlife/younglife camps this has been by far, probably my favorite. 1. I got to be in a cabin with all my friends and we were so so close and just so happy to be there together. 2. We were the oldest there, since we were in eigth grade, and it was so cool to be with all the seventh graders (now eigth graders) who look up to us without having to worry about the ninth graders (now sophmores). Not that theyre not nice... i dont really know them, but it just seems like that group of girls does not like our group at all. Maybe its just my friends and I are so close to the grade below us that is wierd to have the older kids not want anything to do with us. i just feel judged by them. but i dont know, now i am probably judging them. annnyyyywaysssss. 3. i got to have my two very favorite people be my leaders. Emily and Caroline. They have no clue how much i love them and probably think i make such a big deal about how much i love our one on ones. but the one this time was the best. there's no other way to put it. words cant describe it. the words that were said there, in a corner next to the club room, changed my life.

last day of eigth grade. last day of middle school. last day of now one of the awkward times of my life. now that I look back, i dont know why I liked middle school. maybe it was all the new people, that i would be spending the next six years of my life with. or because sixth grade was when I really started loving the Lord. Whatever it was, i glad it's over.
June- July 2011
for years my family has wanted to go to Italy and this summer we did. it was the most amazing things i have ever done. most people would never want to spend a month in europe where the only people you could really understand was your family. but i loved it. i seriously would have stayed all summer. and I most defintely want to go back. I dont think there is one day where i dont think about it. and I know this is kinda sad to say, but I missed very few people. I wanted to stay in the place where I could wear dresses, sunglasses, and toms all day and see how different life can be without having to worry about anything but what amazing food we were going to eat next.

Oh the dreaded thoughts of coming to high school. i wish i could just hold myself back then and tell myself that it would be okay. I think that is one of the biggest changes a kid has to make. At least in middle school they prepared you but for high school it's like they drop you in the middle of nowhere and expect you to find your way. I remember sitting in a classroom not knowing where I was or where anything else was but knowing that in a week or so I would feel like home. and I wanted that week to come so fast. Alot of other things changed for the school too: block schedualing and 10 point grading scale. and I very much appriciate both. also, I am taking engineering and Burton and I absolutly love it. I have learned so much already and got to meet so many more poeple.

Basketball is pretty much a part of my life and always will be. I dont remember ever not playing. I love it. but this year i decided to switch it up and try out for swim team. I made it (well, everyone made it) and I am so glad i decided to. Even though id rather be sleeping at 5 in the morning, it is good for me to be swimming and I know this is what the Lord wanted me to do. I have met so many new people and I love getting those new relationships with all different kinds of people. the team sleepover that we had was so cool because all different kinds of girls were all together in a basement having fun. at one point everyone was on the floor cracking up over one of the games we had played.

all my moms family lives in Virginia so we see them alot, but my dads not so much. Both my parents grew up in Syracuse so that is where most of my dad's family is. We decided to go up there for Christmas, even though we have spent every other christmas at home. it was different, but I liked it. i think it was good for us because we only got a couple presents there so it but it was still so exciting getting to open them. it really taught our family that its okay to be at a hotel buffet on christmas morning, as long as we are all together.
So of course this is like 0.01% of what really happened in 2011, but it is late and unfortunatly i have school tomorrow.
