Volleyball to the Nth Power

Hello. Please don't hurt me for not updating frequently. Everything's been so hectic with volleyball lately that I've been using my spare to do the homework that I didn't do the night before. Therefore, no time to blog. Sorry . . .

Well, I guess you guys deserve to hear what's happened with volleyball. Saturday was the round robin of Fraser Valleys. We lost the first game to Semiahmoo, and beat Abby Collegiate and Pitt Meadows, but we played like crap. It wasn't pleasant. On Monday we stared playoffs, and our first game was against PA. A team we haven't beaten all season. We lost the first set, won the second, and then lost the third. Then we had to play Walnut Grove, and our serving sucked. I think we missed a total of twenty-five serves in three games. We lost, obviously. Then last night we had to play Delta if we were to make it to provincials. We won in two straight sets, and even though we weren't executing our hitting, we still managed to send the ball over the net, and won. So we're going to provincials!!! I'm quite excited.

The bad thing is that I think I'm getting sick. I have almost no voice and I seem to be coughing a lot. Maybe it's from volleyball, but my throat is so sore that I doubt it's the only cause. Oh well.

It's been raining like stink lately. And it sucks. The weather's so depressing. Hopefully it stops soon.

Oh! The senior boys team won Fraser Valleys last Friday. Kaeli and Hailey and I went to watch, and had a grand old time. Squidhead came too, and it was great. We won the first two sets, lost the third and fourth, and came back to win it in the fifth. I felt really bad for the server on the other team, as the last point that won it for us was because he served it into the net.

Well, I think that's all for now. I shall see y'all later.

Four Day Party

This entire weekend was devoted to celebrating Butterscotch's birthday. And man, was it fun.

On Friday one of her friends slept over. We watched Cheetah Girls 2 and The Challenge. Two very girly and very stupid movies, but I love them all the same. Well, I love Cheetah Girls 2. The Challenge is a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie, and I hate it.

We went bowling on Saturday. I'm apparently not too bad. I got 3rd out of twelve girls. I'm quite pleased with myself.

Then on Sunday my mom's family came over to celebrate. And my gramma brought us back very fun toys from China. LIGHTERS!!!! I'm so excited. I get to play with it. And it sings. I'll have to show y'all one day.

Yesterday I had another acupuncture appointment. My mom's thinking of stopping the treatments because it's not really making any difference. It doesn't matter to me either way.

Anyone watch the football game this weekend? The Lions slaughtered the Roughriders. It was kind of pathetic, but I still got into it. Grey Cup next weekend.

Which reminds me, seeding for Valleys is this coming weekend, too. And so is the gold medal match for the Senior Boys Valleys. I might go and watch, if I can convince the 'rents.

I started Info Tech today. We didn't do much, but I'm excited because I love the class.

Oh, and I finally finished Sense and Sensibility. Now I'm getting ready to read Reason and Romance, which is a novel by Debra White Smith that follows a similar plot line, except it's set in Texas. I can almost hear the accents now . . . ~drool~

In Response to Aurum

Aurum said...

What do you mean for Steph to get some sleep? Obviosly she does because she's not yawning in the middle of the day or have bags under her eyes from not sleeping. And people can die if they don't sleep, or they just pass out from exahustion. Steph, as you should have noticed, has done none of those things.

I meant that whenever I check her blog, 90% of the times that she's posted are later than midnight. That means that she's getting less than 7 hours of sleep (approximately). That's not even close to enough. Teenagers are supposed to get around 10 hours of sleep. It's unhealthy. I was demonstrating my concern for her.

Sorry, can't resist - obviously, exhaustion

Radical Inequations

Oh, happy day!!! I'm in such a good mood right now. Not only did I get 99% on my nuclear energy test in science, but I also got into Spanish!!!!! Block B!!!!! With Gabe and Stephie!!!!!!

I'm quite excited, if the excess use of exclamation points didn't indicate that.

Ahem. Back to normalcy now.

Not that I've ever been normal. I just normally don't use exclamation points quite that excessively.

Math class was fun today. We were talking about how Tal has been doing announcements this week. Apparently Mr. Weiss approached him on Tuesday morning after Leadership and asked him to do them. Mr. Balzer, my math teacher, asked Tal if it was going to be a rotating thing with the Leadership students, and Tal said something to the effect of him "Sharing his wisdom with the unfortunate grade tens in the class". Meaning me. I, of course, took offense to that, and made some comment or other. Then Jana piped up and told Tal that I'm smarter than him and probably have more wisdom to share anyways. That shut him up. And made everyone laugh. Jana's my hero.

Apparently someone thinks Stephie is PMSing permanently. We shall have to rectify that. Much pain for the one that thought such a devious thing.

Oh, speaking of Stephie, GET SOME FREAKIN' SLEEP OR I WILL FIND A WAY TO MAKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it won't be pleasant.

Ahem.

I must have something caught in my throat.

Our internet's down at home. My dubby is taking in the modem to day to get it fixed. Hopefully. We shall have to see.

Who has Letter Tag? And when are they going to pass it on?

Tchau. ~Portuguese

Catch-Up

Wow! It's been over a week since I last blogged. Sorry to my readers - all four of you . . .

Not much has been happening this week. I stole Stephie's water bottle and assisted in the stealing of another, and had massive amounts of volleyball.

Speaking of which, we came 3rd in our tourney this past weekend. Not where we'd have liked to finished, but still respectable. District playoffs started yesterday as well, and we won all three of our games in two straight sets. The next round of playoffs starts tomorrow with the same format. Should be fun.

I'm slowing working my way though Sense and Sensibility, but I won't lie; it's slow going. Not quite as easy of a read as Pride and Prejudice, but still with the same sense of satirical wit. I love it. Jane Austen is my hero.

Kaeli - ha! Both Jordan and Josh think I'm wonderful. Can't you just see my ego growing exponentially?

I'm adorable, apparently. Kaeli was waiting for me to leave the library with her after our spare this afternoon, and I told her I'd be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail. She was quite unaware that I was speaking literally. I shook my tail, and off we went.

Ooh, ooh! Guess what we're doing in science!!! We get to watch pretty flames burn as part of our chemistry unit. And my dad had a huge bonfire burning this past weekend to get rid of some waste wood. It was very pretty.

I feel really bad for the people living in Chilliwack and on the Island. The water damage they've experienced sucks. I'm so glad there isn't a river in the near vincity of where we live. That could cause problems.

I've realized that I'm exceedingly fond of italicizing certain parts of my writing. Is it distracting at all?

Well, that's all for now.

Au se lako mada. ~Fijian
