     The whole school is going to Wild Waters on June 7th. Not the whole school though, only people who turned in their books, payed their fines, and have no Ds or Fs. I think it is kind of not right to not let everyone in the school go because it is their last day of school and everyone should be allowed to have fun and go to the water park. I am able to go, but some of my friends might not be able to go because of their grades and I think that is not fair to everyone. 
     Anyways, I am very excited to go because I have not been to the water park since 6th grade when I went with my school. I think that the school is a little way to over protective of us because they are having our security guard Johnetta going and she always says that I do things wrong. I think that they should just let everyone go and have fun at the park and not worry about getting in trouble for not really doing anything wrong. 
     I would be a little more excited if I didn't have to worry about Johnetta going to tell me stuff and try to get me in trouble. I love going to wild waters, but it's just that the school is way to over protective when we are in middle school and we can't really have fun if we have to worry about Johnetta going to tell us that we do something wrong.

     Today is formal and I am not as excited as I used to be the days before. I paid my lunch bill and got my ticket and I think that the tickets were a little too overpriced. $15 for just being able to dance and get some free snacks. I think that they should have at least been $8. Anyways, I already got my dress and shoes, and everything, but I am not that excited anymore. I don't know why; I just don't want to go anymore.
     I have to go because I already bought the ticket and shoes and dress, but I mean I am happy to go just not that happy or excited. I am a little excited to be able to see and dance with my friends, but they expect us to dress up, when we are going to be dancing all over the place in our dresses. I think that they shouldn't have such a strict dress code for the dance. I think it was kinda weird to have permission slips too.
     My dress is blue on the top half and black on the skirt part. My dress isn't extremely fancy, but it is a little nice. It straps about three fingers wide, which is about the dress code. It's all covered up in the back and I think it looks really pretty. I got the dress and shoes from Forever 21, and my shoes are black flats with a little bow in the front. 
     The formal is at Duncan highschool and I think it is from 7-10pm. I don't think my dad is letting me stay that late, but I still will probably have a good time.

     Today is a free dress day because through all of the CST testing days, we had a 98% perfect attendance  That means that all students were present on those days 98% of the time. I was really happy to hear that we got free dress, because I have been waiting so long for a free dress day. I wore a white shirt and jeans, but now I am wearing a Guns N Roses shirt. Its a sleeveless top so I have to wear a sweater all day. I'm still happy that it's a free dress day though because I just love it when I can wear whatever I want to school.
     Another good thing that's going to happen in May is the night dance, or formal. I call it a formal because it's at night, at a high school  and we have to dress up. So, that's why its called a formal. I am really excited because there hasn't been a dance in forever and this one is at night so it will be fun. I still have to go dress shopping, but our dresses have have thick straps. The formal is on May 24, at 7-10 pm. My mom doesn't want me to go, but I am with my dad that day, so I'll end up going.

     My birthday was yesterday and it wasn't as amazing as I thought or hoped it would be. I guess I just expected more to happen, but nothing specially amazing happened. Even though my birthday was alright, I am looking forward and hoping that tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow I am going out to Riverpark with all my friends and we are going to see a movie and eat and just shop or just have fun. Maybe it will feel more like my birthday than yesterday because it didn't even feel like it was my birthday. 
     Usually on my past birthdays I felt excited or a little different, but this year I didn't even feel a little bit different. To be honest I wasn't even really excited for it. I knew that this birthday wouldn't be different from my others, but the only thing different is that I get to go out with my friends on Saturday. Most of the people that Kayla invited said they are going, but I just hope that they don't end up going at the last minute. 
     I am actually really looking forward to tomorrow, but I am not going to expect anything really special to happen for me because I think that it won't happen if I expect something really good to happen. But either way I want to go and have fun tomorrow. We are going to watch the movie Pain & Gain and I haven't really seen the trailers, but that's the only pretty good movie that is out at this time. I really hope that everyone can go and that I could have a really good and special time.

     6 days from today it will be my birthday! May 2nd, is my birthday and I am extremely excited, because I want this birthday to be the best on ever. I think that this one will be the best one because I have met a lot of really amazing people this year and they mean a whole lot to me and I think that just being with them will make my birthday amazing. I just cannot wait until that Thursday  and the good thing is that I have late start on my birthday! And I think my friends are already planning something for me and I am just so excited and I can't believe how fast it came this year.
     On the Saturday of next week, May 4, I might go out with all my friends to River park and watch a movie and just have a fun night. I have gone to River park with my friends before for their birthdays, but I think it would be even more fun because its my birthday, and I just want to have the best night ever. I am just so excited and ant wait for my birthday, because I know it will be the most amazing birthday ever. Because I get to spend it with amazing people.

     Since I only tried out for one sport this year, next year I am going to try out for almost all the sports. There were sports that I wanted to try out for this year, but I didn't want to overwhelm myself with sports and because I couldn't practice for any of them. Also, they never told us when try outs were so I couldn't try out for most of them. So, next year I know when try outs are, and I know how much time I have to practice. It will be harder to get on the team now, because its the varsity  team and you have to be really good.
     The sports that I will trying out for next year are: Volleyball, Basketball, maybe soccer, and softball. I am going to be joining cross country too. I am really excited to tryout and join these teams, because I think I will make probably one of the teams, but I am going to be on one team, cross country, because its a non cutting sport. 
     I am pretty good at running; I have been in cross country since I was in 3rd grade, but I didn't join in 6th, because I didn't want to that year. I usually got 3rd or 5th place in most of the races. This time I am going to try my hardest to train up a little better, to be a little faster because I really want to do good. I usually hate running, but this year I am going to try to enjoy it. 
     I started volleyball in 6th grade, so that wasn't so long ago. I am not extremely good, but over the summer I am going to be practicing, so that I could make the team and actually do good. I really like to play volleyball so I am kind of excited to try out and hopefully make the team.
     I don't really know how to play basketball, but over the summer I am going to be practicing and getting better at it like I am doing with the other sports. I can make a shot, but I don't know if I  could really play.

     This week has not been so good for me so far. Last Friday they posted up the softball team list and I wasn't on there. I felt a little disappointed in myself because I actually kind of thought that I might have had a chance, but deep down I knew that I wouldn't see my name on that list. The kind of saddest part was that all my friends made it and were all happy and cheering and I was just standing there. It made me feel worse that everyone was happy for them, while I didn't make it.
     The second thing that's made this week pretty terrible is that I have been sick this whole week and my voice sounds deeper and my nose gets really runny. I take pills for it, but it never helps. Also, I have been in a bad mood this week. This whole school week has made me want to just go home and never come back. Like right now I want to go home, but the worst thing is that I cant. This week has just turned out the worst for me, but I have had worse weeks.

     For the past three days were softball tryouts and I went to two of the practices. The first day I was trying for manager but they decided they weren't going to have managers this year. So the second day, Wednesday, I tried out for the team. I think I did pretty good, except I didn't do extremely well on catching the grounders. I caught the ball pretty good and threw good too. Today is the day they post up the list of the team. 
     I am very nervous because there were some really good girls and some really bad ones too. But all the girls were pretty good. If I don't make it, then I hope my friends do because they have been playing it longer than I have. I haven't been on a softball team or league nor have I tried to be on any team. This year I tried because I didn't do any sports this year and next year I am going to do a lot of sports. 
     If I make the team I will be extremely happy, but if I don't I will be okay with it because I know that I can tryout again next year. I would be able \

     Recently they have closed the snack bar for two days already at both break and lunch. I always buy food from the snack bar, cause that is the only thing I eat. Now that they have closed it for these days, I am not eating because there is nothing else to eat. I don't eat the food in the cafeteria because its really nasty. Also, the snack bar had really good food that I could actually eat.
     The reason I don't really eat the cafeteria food is because one morning I got this cheese egg thing and there was a hair in it. I only eat the peanut butter bars in the morning though. Now for the past two days, I have not eaten all day at school because they closed it for some reason.
     I hope they don't have it closed for good because I will not be eating the rest of this year then. I hope they do open it back up cause I got some paper that I want to spend.

     Last weekend my friends and I went out to Riverpark to see a movie. I went with Cinthya, Lucy, Christian, Anna, Nestor, and Trinity. We saw the movie Warm Bodies and it was a really good movie. We were going to see a different movie, but there weren't seats where all of us could sit together. I already saw Warm Bodies the night before, so I didn't really like it this time. After the movie, we went to Starbucks to get something to drink. We then went to Subway to eat. After that, we went to go take pictures in the photo booth. We then went to the arcade in Me'N'Eds, but then Nestor and Christian had to go home.
     When I went home, my dad took me,
