When you hear God knocking at your heart

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Because i know a lot of people will wonder....
ill just explain why i quit volleyball in a detailed emotional note.
Background: i've played school season vball for six years, club season for six years, and summer vball camps for about four years. in other words, i've played volleyball year round for a very long time!

The past few days something really got me thinking.. hard. I think about my future all the time and all the great things i am GOING to accomplish when i grow up, but something started to not feel quite right in the past three days or so. I go to church at Applegate on friday nights and to Table Rock on sunday mornings.. that should make me a good christian right? wrong! I listen to the message, follow along in the reading, and read my own daily devotions at home. It's not like i'd ignore it, i understand what is being taught and i think "wow, what a great thought to carry with me for the week", nothing more than that though. Let's just say that my walk with the Lord is not at its strongest or fullest potential. I'm doing the right things, but only going through the motions.

The other day i was having a bummed out day. Mom asked me what was wrong and i honestly really had to analyze myself and think of why i wasn't feeling that great. Physically i'm fine, other than horrendous allergies and various other minute problems i deal with day to day. Well,, how did i feel? what was wrong with me? i was stressed out, tired, grumpy, and worst of all i had no desire to do anything at all. "you could read a book" mom offered, "im not in the mood to read right now" i glumly reply. "you could clean your room" she says with a smirk. "negatory ghost rider!"

As i am laying in my bed,, (not even wanting to do that) i think of why God placed me on this earth and what my real purpose in life is... i start to think about it.. what is my purpose? why can't God tell me? i dont know how to listen to Him! What if He's talking to me but i cant hear Him? am i following the path God has laid out for me? i want to feel God's presence in my life! UGH!
and now frustration.

Mom tries to comfort me, but i feel like i've failed God by not living every second of the life He has given me, for His glory. Mom tells me to get out my devotions, my notes, my Bible, and just read and spend some time humbling myself in the sight of the Lord. We find verses i've written down in my church notebook, quotes from strong believers, discussions in the front of one of my Bibles. She tells me to pray, then says good night and i'm alone. I start to pray, gosh i haven't done this in a little while. I am quiet at first to think of what to say, it hits me, i cry, i know God is talking to me. He is always there, standing at the door of each of our hearts just waiting to see if we let him in. I've let him in before, but then i got distracted and let go of his hand. i walked away, not drastically, but enough to feel the absence. I can only think of hurtful things to say to my stupid human self, i will make it up to Him, i thought. From this point on i am going to live, TRULY 100% LIVE for the Lord! i ask him to show me what thing i need to eliminate in my life to let him take its place.... He answers. Volleyball, two hours a day, everyday, into the summer, tournaments, club season, school season, camps, far away, "focus taelor, on volleyball, be devoted", thousands of dollars solely on volleyball, stress. Focus? me.
I found my problem. Some christian athletes can incorporate their faith with their passion for a sport, and God may bless that. For me, i played volleyball for myself, no thought about God unless i really "needed" to make my serve in a pressuring time. i played to impress people, coaches. I felt my own selfish need to out perform other players. i need to hit better than any other DS, i need to talk more than anyone out here, etc, the list goes on... My drive to excel in volleyball was out of the selfishness in my own heart. I needed to cut it at its source. I thought about just playing volleyball with a brand new attitude,,,, but no, i've been playing this way for far too long and it would be far too easy to lose control again.

_________________________________________________

After high school i am going to medical school, I will not have time to play volleyball in college. I am going to be a Nurse Practitioner. I am going to travel the world and do mission work, help people in need. I am going to live a live mapped out for me by my Creator. I am going to be bilingual, so when i go to spain, ecuador, mexico, etc. i will relate to people on a familiar basis. I love people, and i love to help people.

with that in mind,, this was my thought..
Play volleyball for two more years, spend several thousand dollars doing so, as well as several thousand hours put into it, (and a constant stress, worry, happy/unhappiness)?
Or, spend that time and money building a stronger relationship with the Lord, serving His people in any and every way i can, ministering to them, and living in such a way to glorify Him?

You guessed it, i chose the latter of the two. For me, volleyball showed me nothing that seemed promising for my future except for great team skills. Getting involved with church ministries while i'm young and then growing up and maybe leading some,, now that sounds a lot more promising. Especially when the Lord's hand of blessing is over it.

_________________________________________________



God has a lot in store for me and i cannot tell you how excited i am to find out of all the wonders he has planned for my life. I will tell you one thing though,, If ever you wish to join me, talk to me, or just question me, please do. I am always around. And i will not let go of my Lord's hand now. Wherever He leads me, i will follow.

"In the end, a person is only known by the impact they have on other people." -Jim Stovall

Entrust your future to God because our life is short. Prepare yourself so you are ready for whatever God's will is for your life. Make your heart, mind, and life ready so God will see you are open and ready for what He wants for your life. Make plans but keep them open.

Revelation 3:20
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."

A Christian should act in such a way that wouldn't make sense if there wasn't a God.

Ill leave you with those last thoughts.

Project New Kid: Follow up

June 9, 2010
Just to piggy-back on my previous post.. the huge sale i was so sure about is a little too big for me to do on my own. it is kind of overwhelming and i definitely bit off more than i can chew. i still think it is a great idea, i just dont think i can put on something that big by myself. if anyone wants to help me then we could figure something out, but until then i have an alternate plan. instead of a huge community wide sale. maybe just raising some money for mission trips, churches, send it in the mail to christian organizations. just spread the love and bless someone with a lil extra "green",, if ya catch my drift.

Project New Kid: My First Quarter: Almost Completed

April 1, 2010
It seems like time has gone by really really quickly! Last thing i knew, i was just starting school and now we're goin into the last quarter of school already! I know a lot of the people from cascade would like to hear me say that overall it's been super easy and i have straight A+ in all my classes. but thats not how it is, you've gotta want it just like anything else. I find that there is still as much work as cascade it just doesnt take as long, and i find that i actually enjoy my classes a lot more now. Every teacher is different, but still really fun and crazy and all the students are pretty down to earth,, mostly.

Yesterday, in my english class, several of us had to leave class for the first half hour or so to go take the OAKS reading test that is required to pass in order to graduate.. well on our way down there a kid tells me that if im a christian i shouldnt let a certain boy know that i am and i shouldnt hang out with this certain boy.. confused,,, i looked at him and duh,, i asked why? He told me that this certain boy was satanic, a worshipper of Satan. well not to blow my mind or anything but,, IT BLEW MY MIND!! but nevertheless,, that didnt stop me from talking to him or letting him know that i was a Christian. Everyone was working on the final draft of an essay we were in the process of writing, so the class was very still and quiet. Then all of a sudden this certain boy turns around and looks at me, startled i said, what and he said that
"if we can learn about God, then why cant we learn about Satan? cause they're basically the same kinda thing."
"no they arent. besides why would you want to learn about Satan?"
"Why not? He's real."
"True, but he's evil..."
"How do u know?"
"How can you not know? look around you, every evil work done in this world was done by man but initiated from Satan's evil temptations and man's folly."
"Like what?"
"Well look around you, rape, murder, suicide.. what would cause a man to commit such atrocious things? It says in the Bible that the devil goes around like a roaring lion waiting for someone to devour. He masquerades as an angel of light only to trick and deceive."
"Well if God didnt do it, then why isnt he stopping it?"
"He gave us free will. and we sinned, and this is the cause,, our fallen world."
"How do u know He gave us free will?"

The teacher pipes in, from the exact opposite corner of the room, and asks this certain boy to get busy on his essay.
(note* i turned my essay in yesterday so i didnt have anything to do)
he tells her "We're talking about God though!"
She says "Yes I know"
confused look on his face... "could you hear us"
she chuckles to herself.. "Yes boy, every word."

___________________________________________
I guess i didnt realize how loud my voice is,,, and his was obviously loud.. but i guess i never thought about the fact that if she could hear us clearly,, then so could the whole entire class as well..

so i guess that counts as sharing the Word of God,,, eventhough i didnt think anyone else could hear us.. I was kinda glad they had heard us,, but then i also wish that my answers were better. oh well, God will give me more opportunities, i hope.
___________________________________________


As far as other classes go,, I'm learning a ton of things in World Studies and that is one of my favorite classes for sure! and before north, i used to hate history.. but its really interesting and the teacher relates us to the topics. A couple weeks ago, we watched a documentary that a few college kids had made and turned into a movie. Its called "Invisible Children" and its about the war in Uganda and how and what the children there go through and what they face from day to day. That movie broke my heart and moved me so much as to feeling as if it were my purpose in life to help the less fortunate.

We all have a gift in life. somthing that the Lord God has given us to make the world a better place and to glorify His Name. Most people i've talked to still dont know why they were put on this earth or what their purpose is. A really good quote i came across the other day is this:
"Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't." ~Richard Bach
This is so true, and for my entire life, especially lately, i've been wondering what my purpose is, and why God placed me here. why i have passions for certain things and i absolutely hate other things. I was curious and i really wanted to know. Well after watching this movie and several others, and reading numerous articles about different problems and wars and killings in Africa, i decided i was going to help!
I went home that very day, after watching "Invisible Children" and i cleaned out my ENTIRE room for clothes, shoes, accessories, key chains, excess school supplies, excess Bibles, etc. of things i owned, things i was blessed with that i didnt need, didnt use often, or things i could live without,, and piled them all up. Then what?? well how do you turn items into money? sell them! and just like that my idea is coming into play. I would ask people to donate their things and turn them in to designated sites (select schools and churches around the valley)... and then in mid August of 2010 we will be holding a gimongous clothing sale and all money will go toward the children in Uganda to help them out.
well now that i've peeked ur interest,, lemme tell you about the cause...


Psalm 60:5
"Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered."



The country of Uganda there has been civil war taking place for over twenty years between the Government of Uganda (GOU) against the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). The LRA led by Joseph Kony and the ADF led by Jamil Mukulu began kidnapping children to use as soldiers, then using them to run into homes and take more children in the night. They turn the children into child soldiers. But first they must train them how to kill and desensitize them from blood and violence. They select a few of the captured children and beat and kill them brutally, right in front of all the other captured children to show them how it is done. To avoid being taken, other children do what they call "Night Commuting", where they walk several miles from their homes to find safe places in other towns to sleep for the night. All kids there live everyday in fear of being captured and tortured and killed by the rebels. After becoming a child soldier they train you how to use various knives, guns, and other devices used to kill. Once you've learned how,, you are ready to go out and kill, but they must test you to see if you are strong enough to be a soldier or if they need to "do away" with you for good. They tell you, you must first go kill your family. Once you do so, you are a soldier and go kill other children.



The GOU tried to solve the problem by encouraging people in affected areas to move into protective camps, but did not properly prepare for the vast numbers of people coming to these camps. So the majority of people are still out there and NOT PROTECTED AT ALL. Uganda's economy is also suffering because billions of their government's dollars are going toward the military to fight, but the opposition is a bunch of scared and brainwashed children being forced to fight.

According to the Uganda National Household Survey, a vulnerable child is one who lives in a child-headed household or is a child laborer, an orphan, not enrolled in school or work, is married, is living in a household headed by an elderly person, not orphaned but does not live with his or her parents, or a child living with a disability. By this definition, 65% OF CHILDREN IN UGANDA FALL UNDER THE CATEGORY OF ‘ORPHANS AND OTHER VULNERABLE CHILDREN’. In real numbers, THERE ARE MORE THAN 2.2 MILLION ORPHANS AND NEARLY 8 MILLION VULNERABLE CHILDREN IN UGANDA TODAY. And nearly half of the country’s orphans have lost one or both parents to the AIDS pandemic.

i will have more information about the specifics of my project as soon as i can. Until then i pray that this will touch your heart as it did mine, and you will find it within yourself to help. As Americans we have so so much, we are SO BLESSED but we have way more than we need to survive. These kids have no shoes. they have one shirt, dirty and worn. one pair of shorts or pants of some sort, also dirty and worn. no clean water. no education. no money. some may have a small blanket. no steady source of food, most children rummage around for something edible to eat and survive. Please soften your hearts and bless God's children.

More information is coming soon.

Project: New Kid.. Week 1: completed

February 5, 2010

week one completed. no bumps or bruises. no anxiety, no stress.
a successful conclusion to a quite nervous introduction.

So this week went quite well. I only got lost twice, only almost ran into people like five times, witnessed some kid do drugs, and have listened to about 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bad words. haha But on a lighter note, i have made several friends in every class, made friends with all my teachers, and won the nobel peace prize! okay well maybe that last one isnt totally true... but i am really having a lot of fun.

thursday, february 4th, 2010.
side parking lot, 11:26am, lunch time. twelfth parking spot from the left.
hahaha okay ill get to the point...
im sitting in my car eatin lunch real quick, so i can scurry in and get caught up on some math assignments from the previous couple weeks in the first semester so i'd understand what we're doin now,, in class... so im observing my surroundings, grass, truck with nice rims, naked tree, bus stop, kids flirting, car with a bad paint job, side of the building, trash cans, kid trying to be secretive, another car..... rewind,,, whats that kid doin!! i watch,, curiosity peaks,, he looks around to see if anyone is watching. he's alone. unwitnessed. oh wait,, yikes, imma witness, but he doesnt know that. he pulls out of his pocket a folded napkin or paper or baggy or somethin... unfolds it in his left palm, pinches the small contents of his napkin with his right index finger and thumb. raises pinched fingers to his nose... oh no dont do it dont do it!!! put it back u still have time! im silent. he inhales deeply, a few times, repeated. wipes his face off, replaces his folded napkin or paper or w/e back into his pocket. i dont believe my eyes. did i really just witness this? i watch him walk over to the naked tree and lays beneath. i got out of my car and locked it. i waltzed across the parking lot, attempted to find the restroom, yet failed. come back to my car for the remainder of the lunch break. by this time he is standing up, still under the tree. staring quite passionately at the invisible bird he seemed to be studying, that sit upon the highest branch of the tree. In a daze, gazing off into another world, he was not himself. i watch him stand there another moment, he screams! then is still and quiet again, still gazing.. i gave up insanity watching and walked to class. never will i forget that experience. one black, confused, and unhappy limb on the tree of the world,, all i've known or been able to know up until this point were the good limbs on the tree, the fruit, the living side of the tree. i've always been shielded from the dead part of the tree, with no fruit, no leaves, just dark limbs with decaying matter laiden upon them. well may this be your wake up call. Here is black limb number 1.

I found it quite interesting that a very very large number of students dont take a class during the 7th or 8th block. which means that they then get out of school at 2:35 or earlier everyday instead of 3:56. I however, have a 7th block. my english class. quite small class to be honest. i like it. my teacher is more of a natural kinda earthy type of woman, calm and collective, not married, but overall a very nice lady. When my bell rings at 3:56, i open the door to leave and i see maybe twenty people in the courtyard, as opposed to twenty hundred thousand people like there would be between classes at any other time of the day. yeah i get it, people hate school and want to get out of school early, yeah whatever. but i honestly dont mind having a seventh block, i make the most out of my day that way. and when it's over, i enjoy a calm, quiet, brisk walk down the hallway only occupied by a few other students in my class. its peaceful and i enjoy ending the day on that note.

I honestly really do enjoy it at this school. Every adult i had talked to, played it out that public school was a mighty great evil and at all costs, avoid it. I believed them for sixteen years. I believe deep within me that those sixteen years were truly beneficial to my life as i stand before you now. If i hadn't grown up in a christian home, in a christian elementary school, middle school, and into high school, i tell u the truth, i would not be the person i am today. The world, it is true, is not a wholesome and good place. it is corrupt and rotting, and only getting worse. I see children grow up in these days and how they act, how they act toward each other, adults, authorities... Im grateful beyond belief that God provided funds for my education and growth in a christian, sheltering environment. you truly grow up with a different frame of mind, of self worth, of your priorities, of respect, i could go on and on of all the good things private school has done for me. yet there is also a negative side to that same private school program. I dont think that it is in your best interest (im not speaking to everyone) to stay in your private circle of Christians all your life. your private school, sheltered home, all key factors in keeping you naive, innocent, and uneducated in how to deal with the real world. I believe fully that at this point in my life, i am strong enough in my faith, strong enough in WHO I AM, that i can begin to face real world situations and using every good and useful thing i've learned growing up, i can say no to certain things and yes to others. the same thing goes for finding the right group of people to hang out with. please dont use the excuse that they are the only friends you have and cant make any others and even though they arent christian and kinda do bad stuff a lot, doesnt mean ur gonna do that too cause ur not like that. yet u surround urself only with those influences? i begin to question u. ill speak from my own life, because that's the only thing i know for certain. I make friends easily, be nice, be silly, be respectful, concerned, caring,,, be yourself! im nice to everyone, im friends with all who are around me, yet i do not choose to constantly surround myself with those people if their actions are not in my best interests. Still be kind and Christ-like, yes. but you need strong influences to guide you and encourage you in your faith and in your life for that matter.
All im saying is that, yes there is evil out there, darkness,, and yeah we all hear about it sometime,, but what im advising you to do is to be a light. then find other lights and join together and radiate in a dark world. people living in the dark who experience your kindness, your God given grace, you love and they begin to see your radiant light, they are going to ask you questions. "whats with you?" "why are u so happy all the time?" "why are u so kind to everyone?" "i've never heard you say anything bad against someone.. i dont get it??" they are curious now, with God's help, you've planted a seed in their life. now you answer,, give all credit to the Creator. He begins to water the seed.

The Lord is a Gardener. He allows his children (us) to spread the pollen or the seeds (His Word) to all the corners of the whole garden (the world), He tucks them in (into the hearts men) or into the ground. Then has all his children water them (dont stop preaching). Eventually a bud will form and a flower burst forth from it into his beautiful garden. How big can we make His garden? How many flowers can we help to water?



Who do you choose to surround yourself with?
Are you a light for God in this dark world?
Are u still leaving doors open for God to work through you, in the lives of those all around you?
Do u choose to go outside yourself and your comfort zone to just talk to someone, and get to know them? you never know what someone is going through from day to day.

"...faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is LOVE."

Be blessed,

Project: New Kid.. Day 1: This is really happening!

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

So yesterday i got 14 hours of sleep, i dunno why but i was having a super non productive weekend. Being the probable cause for why i tossed and turned all night, last night. Not the peaceful night sleep i would've hoped for. Oh well, my alarm goes off this morning at 5:38, my stomach tightens... "Oh crapola,, im going to school today." I get up, do the usual routine, and have like forty minutes to spare before i even have to leave the house to go to school. So what do i do? sit on the couch with a blanket. yep, too nervous to do anything else.
8:00 rolls around, I drive to school, park in the visitor/staff parking spot (hehe shhhh its a secret), went to the student office, turned my car registration form in and get my little student parking sticker, which must go in the front window on the left side, yada yada. okay so then i go drive around the school to a different parking lot, and find a more appealing parking space. Found it! as im walking to my first class, within the first 5 minutes of being at that school, i hear two guys behind me carelessly talking.. F this, F that, F my life, S, D, and all the other imaginative cuss words and phrases you could think of. I quickened my pace and scurried off to my class. Welcome to public school darling!

Spanish, meet my teacher,, and teacher assistant? hmm okay then she asks me what we've covered so far this year in my Spanish class at cascade.. so, being the total impressor, i whip out my yellow verb reference sheet, my blue verb conjugation sheets, my other pink verb conjugation sheet, and my red spiral notebook with all my highly educated Spanish noting. haha.... Highly impressed the teacher tells me that we wont cover this information in this year of Spanish. what?! okay so maybe cascade did do an excellent job of shooting my confidence through the roof. ahha She said that they are still in present tense, and are only now getting to past tense this semester, maybe... So all my workbook pages are easy cheesy. But one thing i am going to highly benefit from is that she rarely speaks in english. Her and the assistant only speak in spanish, its crazy! Talk about racking my brain for all unused spanish lessons, to form a proper question. haha So ill be getting a lot better in my fluent conversational skills. Yay! She made the whole class ask me questions about my life and my hobbies and all that, in spanish! and i had to answer in spanish! talk about putting me on the spot. jeepers!!

ummm next class is personal health. okay the teacher is really upbeat! he stressed, for the whole class period, how much he wanted an interactive class who wants to come to class and learn and better improve their health, mentally, socially, etc. He had us find someone in the class who we didnt know (which for me was pretty much everyone) and interview them, talk about their family, siblings, age, car, pets, etc. THEN... we take our partner up in front of the class and tell the class some things about them, and our partner does the same for us. And yes, i went first. He asks a lot of thought provoking questions then randomly points to someone for their thought on the matter, and doesnt accept "i dont know" for an answer.

Physical Science, a college prep class. yikes! he starts off with telling us that if we dont like to study then we shouldnt be in that class.. He told us that his tests are based off of the college format or somethin so they are multiple choice but apparently we're not gonna do very well if we dont study. Kind of a dry humor kinda guy too. Then he has us to a situation stimulation thing. Apparently its a coast guard exercise.
Our ship is sinking, what do u do? get on the life boat, good job. you have 15 items that u could bring with u in the life boat. which are most important to bring (9 of them) and which are the least important(6 of them)? yeah my score was bad.,,, i got rescued but only barely lived. hahaha

Academic Tutor.. this class calmed my nerves and the ten or so kids in there made me laugh. After they got their SSR reading and written summary done they wanted to know about me, where i went to school, why i came here, all the basics. It was really kewl to see that the girl sitting next to me was reading and summarizing THE BIBLE!!!! in my head i was like "Hallelujah i found another christian girl!!" Then when i was answering all their millions of questions about myself, my school... they said "oh so u must be a christian right?" (Mind u, this conversation is occupying the whole class and the teacher.. everyone can hear and no one else is talking) I said confidently, Yes i am a Christian. and like three of them were like "oh me too! what church do u go to??" ..i got really excited! one kid goes to church and is a christian even though his dad doesnt approve and will "never" convert. another girl goes to applegate! and i forget the other churches mentioned. but it really calmed my nerves because i was among brothers and sisters in Christ! That was a simple, and fun class. Please pray that God will use us four in that class to be a light to the rest of the class and the teacher. They are great people!

English, last class of the day! people say im crazy for taking a 7th period class, because it ends at 3:56. practically 4:00. This class was somewhat small, considering the fact that it was a later class, i didnt expect it to be some 40 odd students or anything. It was also a really good class. I made friends with like 70% of the girls in that class and talked to a few guys too. to my amazement we are just about to start the book NIGHT BY ELIE WIESEL... which is the book we're like half way through from miss beeler's cascade english class. hurray! we went to the library to find an outside reading book. that's where i was talking to everybody,, cause of course i would never ever ever talk in class! ;)

What a great day, then i come home, work out with my dad to a P-90X workout video that is killer!!!!!! get a call on the phone being offered a babysitting job one night per week!
And i dont have much homework, just a lil spanish stuff that my teacher wanted me to do to see where im at.

Well i think that this year will be a mighty fine one. and Thanks and Praise goes to God, the one and only. The One who made all this work out for the best, and the One who is holding my hand throughout the whole experience! Hallelujah!

Project: New Kid.. step 1: preparation

January 30, 2010
So lets start off with,, i've grown up in a christian school all my life, (except for my second year of kindergarten at Lone Pine Elementary,, but that doesn't count)... So at the end of the first semester of my sophomore year my parents came to a conclusion that they wanted me to "see the real world" outside of the naive private school bubble. They wanted me to know what's out there and learn how to deal with it now, when i still live under my parents' influence, rather than in college when im on my own and potentially overwhelmed by the huge revealing of worldly things shoved at me. So it was then decided that on February 2nd, 2010 (start of second semester) i would be the new kid at North Medford High School.
Honestly i don't think i've ever been more nervous in my whole entire life! That's 197 months that i've been alive, and i've never been as nervous as i am right now! I actually made myself sick last night just thinking about the big change. I always say that change is good, changing the color of my hair, the length of it, my attire, the color of my nail polish, etc. but never have i made a change as dramatic or as life changing as leaving Cascade. Leaving my security blanket. Twelve years attendance at a private school (pre-k through 10th). But no turning back now, it has already been decided, determined, registered, and prepaid! =/
Mother and i went to my new school to officially register me, get my parking sticker, my schedule, student body card, map, the works.. School is going to be like a game, a timed game.. The buildings are set up like puzzle pieces or a maze, with left turns, right turns, wrong turns, and dead ends. I must get from class A to class B within a seven minute time limit, practically blindfolded because i wasn't born with a sense of direction and i seem to always get lost. So if any North students are reading this,, and u see me at school looking like i have no clue where im going, it means i probably have no clue where im going. haha! so feel free to help. =D

Here's my schedule:
period 01 is World Studies with Weinberg.
period 02 is Spanish 2 with Patterson.
period 03 is Personal Health with Stevenson.
period 04 is Honors Algebra 2 with Cate.
period 05 is Physical Science with Black.
period 06 is Academic Tutor with Breswick.
period 07 is English 2 with Robinson.

so i start school on Tuesday the 2nd of February.. I'll inform you how it goes as soon as i find out for myself.
