Prom

Well this weekend was Junior Prom. Yes I’m only 15 and a sophomore so Prom was not on my to-do list for the things to do this weekend. But the excitement of watching all my junior friends get all dressed up for prom made me so excited for next year. I can’t wait to put on that perfect dress and feel like a princess with my studly, handsome date standing next to me. I know prom isn’t the perfect night out of your whole high school experiences like all the movies make it seem like. But something about seeing my friends all dressed up in their tuxes and hearing them talk all week on where they are going for their day date.  Plus seeing pictures of what they were going to wear for the big day and how they were just dying to wear it just made my whole week. So that is why I can’t wait for next year, so I can be the one showing everyone my dress and talking about how excited I am, to feel like the Princess in my giant puffy dress and dance the night away with my prince charming.

The Burrito

It was just a normal day at lunch. I stood in the line to get my food. My choice for today was a Taco Time Crisp Meat Burrito. My tummy was growling at me and so I took my first bit of deliciousness. What I didn’t realize was I was so hunger I took a giant bite. And on top of that about 7 boys were staring at me while I did that. After I heard them all burst out laughing and I started to wonder why they were staring at me, I soon started to worry. Did I have something on my face, did I get something on my shirt, is my hair all messed up, did they do something to my food. Millions of things were running through my mind as I tried to get an answer from at least one of the boys for why they were all staring and laughing at me.  One of them finally answered and said, “Wow Darci you took a big enough bite of that burrito, it must be too good to be true.” They are all some of my closes friends so I knew I shouldn’t be too embarrassed cause they were just giving me a hard time. But still a bunch of boys laughing at you by the way you eat does kinda get you red in the face and paranoid to take another bite. After laughing with them and trying to defend my side of the story. Watching them make fun of me I knew I just had to make a joke out of it. I’m not someone who gets embarrassed easily so I challenged one of the boys to see who could fit the most in their mouth. He had a banana and I still had almost my whole burrito left. We both shoved as much into our mouths that could possible fit. Needless to say I dominated! With just a little bit left of my burrito I shoved more in my mouth then he did (with it still be lady like don’t worry). All the boys couldn’t believe it! The embarrassment of it all had left me and I was just having fun. The rest of the day and days to come, I’m sure, they have been calling me, burrito, I am hoping that name doesn’t stick and I don't think I will be getting a Taco Time Crisp Meat Burrito any time soon.

Dance, Dance and a little more Dance!

Last night was the Hi-Stepper Spring show. I can’t believe the year has finally come to an end. It was kind of a bitter sweet night as I was able to perform all the dances one last time and dance with those girls for the last night. You can’t forget good old Coach Park dancing with me either for the daddy daughter dance. We had skill and were far better than anyone else! This year has diffidently had its ups and its down and I couldnt have done it without my amazing family to be there and support me. At the first of the year it was punishment after punishment and it seemed like nothing was going the way how I wished it would be. We were the farthest away from a team. All year it has been drama but I can’t complain because I became so close to so many of the girls on the team. I spent more hours with these girls then my family. We had memories this year that I will cherish forever. We found tons of mice at road clean up, taught screaming little girls how to dance at mini drill, wanting to punch are choreographer for military in the face as we all were so annoyed with her. We were all about ready to pass out doing kicks on the back of a semi for parade and we all faced major flex-its workouts together during camp. When someone mentions homecoming of course you have to think about the streakers running across the football field right in the middle of our performance. Practices were long and tiring but we still had fun, we had parties, chased boys who were trying to scare us down the hall and found them in the boy’s bathroom, put on fake mustaches, and yelled for chocolate milk every time Coach Park or Joe came into the gym. We had are struggles this year but after a lot of hard work we got 2^nd in region and 4^th in state. Nothing can take away that feeling I felt at state when we out beat Morgan and the looks they gave us because of it. It was sweet victory watching them cry and knowing that we basically took region just without the trophy. This year is now to an end and even though there was times when I just wanted to walk out of the gym and say, I quit, I am glad I had the chance this year to become closer to these girls, become a team and be like sisters…WE CAN, WE WILL, WE ROCK!!

   

 

    

My Asian Friend

Ashlyn Vica Johnson, Asian-invasion, ash-hole and Grandma. No matter what I call her she is basically like one of my best friends! Yesterday was her birthday and she is finally 16! We have been counting down her birthday for months now! She has shared the best and worst weeks of my life with me and we have been together during all the fun and little exciting things inbetween. Even though we do have are little fights and can get annoyed with each other I know she will always be there for me! I love her to death. We have had so many memories together and the list goes on and on of all our crazy adventures. She really is a great friend to have!
