Spring Break


A week without school and I am uber excited. Basically anyone you ask will tell you how much I want out of school. I believe that what I have is worse than senoritas. In all honesty I barely made it through Thursday (my last day before spring break); in fact, I almost lost it during band, thankfully Eric was there to give me hug and help me trudge through the last few hours. Now it is spring break! Woohoo! Today Doc and I went thrift store shopping for the musical. I got some hideous stuff for the show, it is going to be great! Everybody should come! Despite all of the hours missed because of the weather, the show is doing great. We may be a little bit behind, but the show is running smoother than we expected it to be with all the missed time. Later this week my parents and I are headed for Iowa! That will be fun. It is always a good time in Iowa, and it will be good to see my Gugel family again. At Christmas we took some family pictures since almost everyone was there and we do not know if we will have another Christmas with everybody. The picture is amazing, it pretty much portrays what most of the time the family spends together looks like. My cousins razzing on each other and all of us teasing our parents --especially our dads-- about getting old and acting like grandpa. Oh, good times!

keep the pace

School is still the same-old; but outside of the academics life is moving. I truly fancy being on the go with exciting things to do; it makes me smile!

Track conditioning started two weeks ago and I am so glad I am running! It has to be one of the best decisions--if not the best decision-- I have made all school year! It took me no time at all to get in shape, and I never got sore! Earlier this week we took a trip to Cedar Point. Some of the other runners made the trip sound like it was going to be quite rough, but it was really not bad at all. Let me clarify; Cedar Point is a drill. We ride to the park (roughly a 10 min run) before Steel (coach) shouts out one of three "rides," butt-kickers, knees-to-chest, or majorette (jumping and touching toes) which we do until he says run (intense, each ride is at least 30 seconds, which may not sound like a lot, but it is). We run for 5 (or more) minutes before he shouts out the next "ride." We did all of the rides twice and then "rode" back to school. Soon I will have a chance to Pole Vault.

Musical rehearsals are picking up, well trying to, the weather has caused several cancellations resulting in us having 17.5 hours of musical practice canceled! The cast is going to have to really focus and listen to be ready curtains on April 4 and 5. It's crunch time, but we'll be able to bring everything together into a great show. After all it is 'My Favorite Year'. ;-)
