Heeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooo peoples!

Hey All!

You know, if all those people who vote in my poll commented, I would be very happy.

Let's see, an update of my life:
Speech and debate: We're having a car wash tomorrow. No comment. My DI is awesome, I love it. We have many new members, it's awesome. My first tournament isn't until November so I'm very sad about that.
Stuff: I am taking a Chemistry class from a lady named "Frog" I am not kidding. The labs are really fun, and I have awesome lab partners. I also learned the other day that the 'older kid' book is a college-level textbook, meaning all the mathematical problems I've been doing are at the college-level. Needless to say, that made me feel really good.
Martial Arts: Louie and I are finally ready to test for our Yellow belts on Tuesday, so a little prayer that we do our best would be VERY appreciated. I'm rather excited and not nervous (yet).
I can't really think of much else, life is good.

I love you all!

Dear Peoples...

God works in mysterious ways. Let me exemplify: One of my favorite pen-pals hadn't emailed me in a while and I was about ready to give up on them, in fact I was all set to write them off of my list when BOOM! They suddenly correspodned with me. So I say God rocks and I absolutely love him. I mean, I loved him before, but it's the little moments in life when he really just shows his love and care. :)

Anyways, after that inspirational message...
I'm just letting you all know that basically I'm cool and Speech and Debate is kicking off. *SIGH. Ali and Elliot and I have some great meetings. :)Erika and Elliot have a wonderful Duo which I've heard is very moving. My DI is coming along, Ali has his Oratory, and the new kid Alex has lots of promise. Also, Ali's sister is joining and Benj (the class clown) apparently is getting serious about persuing LD, which would be awesome. :)
