Mandatory Post!

After looking at everyone else's post I kind of caught on and I think I'm suppose to blog about another blog. Well I don't know if this works but I had a tough time finding a blog to post about. Then I found one on the Le Moyne website. It was actually wicked cool. It's a student blog from a freshman, and his major is pre-med which is what I'm doing next year. He talks about the food at Le Moyne, why he chose to go there, a typical night at Le Moyne and a lot of other cool stuff that I didn't know about. There's like 4 other blogs from students on the website I just chose this one cause he was a freshman so I figured I'll be going through what he's going through right now just next year. But I'm definitely going to check out the other ones!

Watch theseee








Even if you hatee cheering these are siiiick. And a threw in a pretty funny one!

Taste Buds

Ok well since I have a few posts to catch up on I figured I would do a couple in a row right now. My first one is about taste buds and how they change over the years. My parents always told me when I was little "someday your going to love these" or something like "I use to love those when I was a kid". I never really understood what they meant, and thought it was just another one of their "I had to walk to school when there was 3 feet of snow of the ground" kind of stories. But I realized they were right. Your tastes bud definitely do adjust as you get older. When I was little my babysitter use to drown us in tomato soup and grilled cheese. Not literally, but that's what we had for lunch every single day. So when I got to the age of maybe 7 or 8 I hated that meal. But throughout the past two years or so it's become one of my favorite meals. Another thing is I've always hated cotton candy. Even when I was little I use to hate the smell of it when Nicole would eat it. But now I love it, not the cotton candy as much as the artificial flavored cotton candy things like ice cream and Popsicles. And last but not least, I wouldn't even dare to eat peas if my life depended on it. But Kathleen can attest to this, St Joe's had the best peas ever. So from 7th grade on they've been my favorite side dish! So my conclusion is that your tastes buds change with your age. So maybe that leaves hope for meat sauce, anything made in a crock pot, or meatloaf, because I really don't see myself liking those things anytime soon!

Hopefullly tomorrow:)

Heyyy everyonee. Sorry Kriegs I know I haven't posted for a couple days but I can't seem to shake this flu thing. This is the first time I've been home alone since I got this stupid thing and my parents haven't been checking on me every two seconds so I figured this was a good time to blog. This thing is a pain. Like one second I'm freezing and need like a million blankets, and then two seconds later I'm sweating. I really want to come to school tomorrow so I can at least get all my work so I can do it all over the weekend. The sore throat and the coughing which would probably annoy the crap out of everyone I can deal with. But every morning I wake up with like 103/104 temperature and theres no way my parents will let me go to school. Sooo my plan is to set my alarm for like 4 in the morning to take a couple Advil, which has been lowering my temperature pretty good, so then when my parents come to check on me a couple hours later my temperatures pretty normal and i can come to school:) So hopefully ill see everyone tomorrow!

Cheering uniform handins

So the phone chain went around today, and uniform hand-ins are tomorrow. I know to a lot of people cheerleading is probably the stupidest thing they've ever heard of and the farthest thing from a sport, but to me it means a lot. And no matter how many surveys people make or try to put it down it's been a really big part of my life since I was probably in around 3rd grade. It's the one thing that I've been good at even though I had to work really hard to get to that point. I feel like I should be graduating now. Like the school year should be over cause cheering is over. It's like tomorrow I'm saying goodbye to my family of 16. It's crazy how fast August through now went. It's like I said everyday that I couldn't wait until I could just go home after school, and now I feel like I would give anything for just one more practice. But in reality, my senior year is basically just starting. Who knows what could happen. ha:)

Icee or slush puppie

Coey boeyyys falling everywhere on her crutches so i have to make this fast so i can help herr!

Buuuut i'm here to talk about the most annoying thing in the world at skateestate. Ok so there's two machines in our snack bar and one says "icee" and one says "slush puppie" and seriously who doesn't know what a slush puppie is, like it has all the little bottle with the flavors like duh. I can't tell you how many times a day somebody says "i want a cheery slush puppie", i make it and then they say noo I wanted that thing and point to the other machine. Might I add that the word Icee is huuuuge and its right on top of the machine in clear view. So then they either ask for a new one or ask for their money back. And we're told to just give them a new one. So here i am throwing away two dollars of skateestates money because people don't know their drinks. And then i've learned to say "well do you want this one or this" and point to some machines, and sometimes it works, but then sometimes you get the people that really know what their talking about and their like "umm im pretty sure I said icee" in their rude sarcastic voices. Sooo the moral of the story is if you ever come to skateeskate double check the name of the drink you want:)

I hatee hypocriticalll jerkkkks:)

Ok I just wanted to start my blog off with: Get a life and don't read other people's stuff if it bothers you that much:) Second, I would just like to state that I have completely stayed out of the cheering battle. I haven't posted anything on facebook or on my IM away messages or profile. However, rude people that shall remain nameless, like to accuse other people of doing stuff that they never did. I have accepted the fact that we lost, the judges I went there to perform for gave us the highest score of the day, and to me I accomplished my goal, trophy or not. On top of that this was the best season ever and I feel like I have a second family of 16 other people and wouldn't trade this season for any trophy or any 1st place championship in the world. That said, if you have a problem with reading cheerleading stuff on facebook or wherever people like to claim they see it, DONT LOOK AT IT. And don't be a hypocritical jerk and post two things basically doing the same thing your complaining about.
Secondly, I really would like to take a second to give Johnson City a lot of credit. I haven't gotten the chance because I've been TRYING to stay out of the cheering conversations and battles, even though people still accuse me of being in them. They really stepped it up this season and did amazing at the competition. They totally turned their whole cheering program around and I couldn't have been more impressed. They had a great routine with a ton of difficult stunts and tumbling in it. I think they deserved to place higher, but they were more than satisfied with 5th place which was heartwarming to see. Good Job JC:)
Anddd my little sister had her first surgery today:( She had a couple really pulled ligaments in her ankle and she waited until after cheering to get them fixed! So shes in a lot of pain:( Soo i'm gonna watch movies with her tonight:)

Partying up on vaca

Wellll this vacation I have been partying it up. Haha ok well not really but i've been working alllll break and partying coordinating at SkateEstate! Not to mention I had to do laser storm a couple times, which usually isn't that bad but repeating the directions over and over again can give you a head ache. Pluss our rock wall is out of order, so all the parents who bought an all inclusive birthday party get pissed cause instead of using the wall now we let them do two games of laser storm which takes up more time. Buuut i'm off to the zoooo again!

Dream Job!

This is an easy one for me. My dream job is to work in the operating room in a huge hospital. I've looked at a lot of things throughout the past couple years in the medical field and I have come to the conclusion that the OR is for me. I like anesthesiology, OB, neonatal surgery, and pediatric surgery. I'm not saying that I will never change my mind, because people keep telling me that people change their majors 90% of the time. And I do believe thats true, and I really really really want to be a doctor. And I'm willing to prove people wrong that I'm not going to change my mind, but most importantly I know my heart is very set on it and thats what is important. I want a job where I'm basically on call 24/7 and I'm never bored or have nothing to do. I want to have to make a life-changing decision for someone else all the time, and be good enough to make the right choice. I want to save lives, and cliche as that may sound. What I would love to do is change my last night to Luchetti. That's my real family name but I guess my great-grandparents or one of the "greats" changed it when they came over from Italy. Just because I think Dr. Luchetti sounds better than Dr. Lockett. But hey, I have a lot of time to decide on that. All I know is I want to go to school for a really long time. And I want to work in a very busy and well-accredited hospital, where people come to me for advice, and where I'm good enough that people come from all over to have me as their doctor:)
Soooo I would just like to say the wii is an amazing thing. Yesterday was the first time I ever played anything on it and it was super fun. I played American Idol and me, v, and Nalia played the tournament. I am proud to announce that we are the next American idol. We kicked butt. I think my best performance was to 'it ends tonight'... even though i did pick some songs that were a little to high for my liking. Thenn I sang somewhere over the rainbow on expert difficulty.. and yes thats right I got a 'good'. I think i'm gonna quit my day job:) Buuut today is Tuesday which means its ONE TREE HILL DAY! yay:) Sooo I am off to my cousins to stay there for the night (and my cousins boyfriend broke up with her yesterdayy so i have some serious counseling to take care of) And thanks everyone for your support about the competition! Esp ruggs, i'm impressed! It means a lottt!

Not wanting to blog right now

Ehhh today was kind of bitter. So we went almost last at the competition, which was a good thing. And after watching all the teams we got really pumped and knew we could do really good. Then we went on, and half our team didn't hear the music when it started cause everyone was cheering for us and our whole opening tumbling sequence got screwed up and looked pretty bad. But then the rest of the routine was really good, and everyone told us we were amazing and were gonna win and blah blah. And then awards came and our JV won which we were really pumped about, by the way the DJ announcer person sucked he was a new one and he was horrible at it. And then we got announced as the second place winners and Chenango Valley were announced as the STAC champions. As if we weren't already wicked upset, we tried to make the best of it and shake it off. Then when we were down on the floor about to leave we got our score sheets and we got a twenty point safety deduction for something really stupid, its a really long story so i'm just gonna spare the confusion for everyone by not trying to explain it. So raw score we had 350 points and CV has 337 so we would have beaten them by 13 points which really sucks. Sooo all in all it was a pretty upsetting day.

Cheer Comp ahhh!

Okkk so tomorrowss my last cheering competition everrr! It's crazy how fast time flys. Cheerings so different from any other sport because you work so hard all season to get a routine that sticks and is flawless and you have one shot at 2 minutes and 30 seconds to prove to everyone your the best. If you don't really follow U-E cheering, which I can imagine is the majority of people in the high school, for the past three years Chenango Valley has won the fall cheering competition, and U-E has won the winter competition. And this fall we tied, so the rival between us is increased to the max tomorrow. And there's rumors of other schools being pretty decent so it should get interesting. Wish us luck!:) I'll post the results tomorrrowww!

Oops!

I skipped a day, shooot! I didn't even realize, it must have been on the snow dayyy:( Which I spent watching One Tree Hill at my cousins, since I gave up Greys Anatomy for lent which might I add was a horrible idea. I guess I really have to work on this punctuation and spelling stuff, since Kriegs last post. I tend to add a lot of letters to my words. But anyways, rumor has it that the writers strike is over, yet grey's still doesn't have any new episodes. Which is a good thing considering I can't watch it. During the snow day I realized how many times they play the weather forecast on the news. I mean seriously, they say the same thing every two seconds. And it's weird because it seems like the news people sugar coat it a little. For example, before I knew school was canceled I was up around 6AM and I was watching the lady weather person, and she said that the roads might be a little slick but should be an easy ride to start your work day. Easy ride? Right, thats why all the schools we're closed and it even got worse as the day went on. I know that their suppose to seem cherry and optimistic, but sometimes I think that the weather reporters need to be a little more realistic.

Valentiness Dayyy

Okkkk... so todayy was probuably the best valentines day everr so far:) Me V & Marie went to oakss... and all got the penne vodka parm like always. Then we went and saw 27 dresses which was cute and funny. But Marie and I decided that we really don't like movies that much because when your so use to watching episodes of like One Tree Hill or Greys Anatomy its hard to sit and watch a two hour movies when your use to episodes lasting less than hour without their commercials. Don't get me wrong I love movie, and lately i've been having an OCD of buying them, but sometimes they're a little dragged out. But anyways, after the movie V drove home and I was on a little bit of a sugar high(because of all the sour candy we snuck in that we bought at Rite Aid)... but needless to say it was a fun nite:)

Physical Educatorsss

I don't mind physical education. I think the activities are pretty well diverse. There's dance, swimming, and fitness, it's pretty well-rounded. However, I think this new rumor that gym class is going to be graded by how well you perform rather than you effort is bull. I don't think thats right. If their going to do that then they need to split the gym classes up by athletes and non athletes, or something of that sort. The problem with physical education is the educators. All of them or not bad, some of them are actually really good teachers and deserve respect and cooperation. Others however, which I will remain nameless, set themselves up to be disrespected and ignored. If you treat students like their less of a person because they ask a question that you might think is a stupid question, or if you judge them by what sport they play or how well they play, then you shouldn't be allowed to teach teenagers that are going through what's suppose to be four years of learning about themselves and figuring out what they want to do in life.
