Unavoidable Darkness

I was changing right after church (remember I get out at six, so it is pitch dark) I was watching my foster sister Heavenly. Heavenly was sitting on my bed when suddenly the lights flickered. Then they flickered even longer. That is when the power came to a complete stop. Lucky me! I hurried and pulled on some sweats, felt around for Heavenly on my bed, and basically tried to not trip while feeling my way upstairs. We all ate PBJ sandwiches, and then sang Christmas songs around the flashlights and candles.



Tales of Damsel in Distress!!

I've never passed out!!

I have never passed out, but I think I was the closest you could get to it.

In choir we always have on our last class before the concert we have the stage lights on and we practice the full 90 min.! Usually I get a little light headed because it gets really hot. I always make sure my knees are bent, because I am just smart like that. I was about 3/4 of the class time over, but that is when it hit me. My hearing slowly got muffled, kind of like a severe case when you need to pop your ears. I tried to get rid of it but it got worse. That is when it hit me, my vision went like someone was dimming the lights fast. I quickly sat down on the risers feeling were everything was because I couldn't see, and I guess people were calling my name asking me if I was OK, but I couldn't hear them. I was lonely, and there was no way I could have snapped out of it. Slowly my senses came back, and luckily I was not collapsed on the ground. I felt like I was OK with standing up after about ten min. Boy was I wrong. My legs collapsed me back into my seated position on the risers. I don't know what happened, but I do know that I never want it to happen to me again!

My worryings concerning my worryings!!

BSU Institute Winter Ball!!

So basically it was the funnest time. I went with a guy named Ben that just recently moved from Oklahoma. We had a blast dancing the night away. The guys had decided that we were going to switch every once in a while for some of the dances. But lets just say I met someone that really can dance, his name is Jack. I already knew the cha cha but he taught me the salsa!! And basically then we did this other dance with a weird name... but you sway your hips the same direction as your partner and the spin you in and you do all of these crazy knots that miraculously come undone. SO AMAZING!! And for the record I LOVE LOVE LOVE people that can dance!!

So basically that was my date Saturday in a nut shell!!

LOVEN PEOPLE ALWAYS!!

Damaged in more than one way!!

First injury-

It was the day before the winter parade that the colorguard was performing in. Very stylishly I wore my Santa Hat so that I would have practice tossing and with it on. I tossed with the force of 100 men. The hat was nicely angled, but not in my favor for catching the flag. As the flag perfectly jammed my middle finger I started jumping up and donw yelling that my finger hurt. Of course the exact words from my coach... "ha ha ha, sorry for laughing at your pain, but you should have seen my facr." I beer through the pain!! I then glanced down at the fingers on my left hand and my middle finger was very swolen and had a nice bruis in the middle!! Right before my last colorguard performance.

Second injury-

I had coaches who placed me in the front line for colorguard because it was my last year. So I had studied really hard and knew the parade by heart, but nothing would prepare me for the obstacle a head of me!! We were on a stretch of the street, when I saw the fresh droppings of a near by horse. So I casually went to the left of the droppings, not realizing that I was walking strait onto my silk of my flag. I pulled with all my might to bring up my flag for the next move, and then there I went. Flattening myself to the road, right in front of this little family. Mortified at the time, but hiding it by laughing. I was so imbarrased that I didnt realize the pain of my wrist till after the parade to my left wrist.

So as you can tell typing this looks very interwsting, and also takes a little longer!! But be carefull for all those crazy injuries, and horse droppings!!
