It’s almost been a month since my last post, because of my hectic and busy schedule. Since my last post I had my first Sight Singing Test of the semester got an A, so yippee! Also got my first paper of the semester back and got a B, which is also nice! Still working my butt off in Keyboarding III, and class Strings(Mr. T goes so fast in that class).
Cheerleading is going well, with the teams beginning to work on Midnight Madness which is having a Thriller/Michael Jackson theme…..no surprise there. Our routine is pretty awesome, not gonna lie =). Everyone is getting along well, which was not the case last year. All-girl added three new girls to the team, and they are quite now, but seem very nice. Co-ed will start taping for Nationals next week and All-Girl will start taping in November.
Outside of school and cheer I’ve been dealing with an illness, but hopefully after this Monday things will be straightened out and I will be on the path to being the healthy girl I once was. I’m not gonna lie and say I’m not nervous about what the doctor could say it is, but I am keeping myself as positive and hopeful as possible. Here is to being hopeful and smiling regardless!
Yesterday was my 20th birthday! I am no longer a teenager! It was an awesome birthday to start with Sean and I watching Aladdin with Caroline, and my apartment/room mate Hameedat. Sean gave me earrings for my birthday and an amazing wonderful card. I decided to dress up for my birthday and things where looking bright. Then I went to Sight Singing and got my Ear Training test back, and I failed. I cried, because I have been working hard on my Ear Training all summer and this semester, but its still not enough. I’m improving, but not fast enough. I calmed myself down by remembering it is only the first test and I am not failing the class, so I just need to work harder and spend even more time with intervals in Ear Training. After Lab Band was over Sean picked me up and we went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. The food was amazing and when I got my cheesecake dessert they took chocolate sauce and wrote Happy Birthday to Jessica around the plate. they put whip cream and a candle on my plate then I got the traditional Happy Birthday sung by the wait staff.
After dinner Sean and I went to Diary Queen so I could by myself my ice cream birthday cake. The guy who served us was very nice and gave me a free ice cream cone as well as but extra chocolate sauce on my cake just because it was my birthday. When Sean and I got back to the apartment Talisha’s surprise party was winding down and she was getting ready for her sleepover. Caroline, Talisha, and Jessica got me a disney princess coloring book and crayons! It was an awesome gift and I’ve already started coloring it =)! Natalie and Emma came over too and we celebrated my birthday by watching Aladdin again(Emma had never seen it), but some odd reason the TAP people decided to have a fire drill, so we all had to walk out in the ran while they yelled at us to move. I ran into Betsy then and invited her to come to my little birthday bash. My friend Ryan stopped by as well, ice cream cake was delicious and good times were had. Over all I had a wonderful birthday and can’t thank everyone enough for being amazing friends and celebrating my birthday with me! Well I am off to do a little more homework before I pack up my stuff to go home for the weekend. Have a fabulous weekend!!!! =) <3
