Last Friday was my schools Homecoming! It seemed like it took forever to get there but the day had finally arrived. That night around 7 I went to the football game. We played great! Then at half time I got to see our homecoming quart walk out on the football feild. The girls looked beautiful. Then I left after half time to change.
A little later my date Drew came. He looked very handsome in his suit and brought me a beautiful corsage. After a few pictures we headed off to Homecoming!
When we got to the dance it was very crowded. Once we got through we headed for the dancefloor. There was a path set up to the dancefloor. The path was lined wiht colorful rectangles to make it look like the path on a Candyland game board. It also has fluff all over it, which I slipped on a bit, but luckily didn't fall. There were also some candy canes set up along the path, one almost fell on me but luckily Drew caught it.
The dancefloor was dark and you couldn't really see the decorations, but it was still cool. They played mostly played hip hop songs but I knew most of them. It was tons of fun. We danced the night away, only stopping a few times to get a drink or take pictures.
After the dance I headed back home. Once home I checked my facebook. Apparently a lot of people got kicked out. The new dance rules were just to strict for a lot of people. We actually made the news, because of the amount of people who got kicked out, but I thought the rules were just fine.
No matter what anyone elses opinon was, I enjoyed the night. I had tons of fun!

Ready. Set. SHOP!!!!!
Ok so the first three weeks of school are over. The football season has been kicked off with a bang! So now what? HOMECOMING! And what is one important thing for the girls? Dress shopping!
So me and my friends were getting so excited for the dance, some of got dates and some us just got talked into coming. Well now ofcourse we must go shopping! Its just the girl way. So Sunday afternoon and group of 8 teenage girls set off into the mall!
Well like most teenage girls have probably noticed by now, stores aparently think we are all the size of a pencil and are 5'4. Well as anyone who has seen me knows, im not 5'4, im actually 5'9. So ofcourse almost every dress was short on me.... great! And the most shocking is that I had was with one friend whos very skinny. Shes healthy and excercises like everyday and was the smallest girl with us that day. So for a couple laughs we had her try on this small, form fitting dress. Well it turned out that it took three of us to get this her in that dress! I think thats a sign right there that the dress maufactures need to reasess their sizes.
Store after store we hunted. We tried on dresses, laughed at the stupid ones and gave opinions. Finally it came towards to the end of the trip, one by one girls left to go to soccer games and church events until finally it was just me and my friend. Only 2 people had actually bought anything! At 6 the mall closed and my mom picked both me and my friend up.
After dropping off my friend, my mom offerd to take me to Khols for last try at finding a dress that day. So I agreed and we went to Khols. They only have 4 types of homecoming dresses and all but one were not even cute. So I took the one cute dress to the dressing room not really expecting much. A couple minuets later I was looking in the mirror and saw that the dress fit me, and we really actually very cute! YES! So we bought it and I went home a happy girl. Mission accomplished. Homecoming here I come!!!!!!

48 hours
Last Sunday I was at the mall witha bunch of my friends! Fun right? Well I also got some bad news. My Speech and Debate partner told me she was quitting debate. My event with her was the only event I currently had. So I had a decesion to make, To do debate or quit debate.
The situation even got worse. My parents were about to pay a lot of money for me to duel inroll in debate. The duel inrollment papers were due Tuesday, that gave me 48 hours to make this HUGE desicsion. Well I went to my history teacher who was in charge of it all and told him my situation. He took my papers and told me to talk to my debate teacher and make a descision before Wendsday and to let him know.
Monday came and went and I still hadn't made a descision. I loved debate last year but I didn't think I was good enough to do another event without my partner. I went and talked to my debate teacher and she said she didn't want me to quit. Her not wanting me to quit made my descecision for me. I wasn't quitting. So now im in an event on my own, WISH ME LUCK!!!! :)
