It's Friday Already! I can't believe it. With memorial day on monday this week just flew by! It's been a really busy and really productive week.
My first finals were today. My first exam was chem. I seriously looked at it and asked it (silently or people might stare) "Are you really my exam? You are the test of everything I have learned this semester? This has to be a joke!" needless to say it didn't answer back, but it did prove to be the easiest ecam in the history of the world. My spanish exam however was at the opposite end of the exam spectrum. It wasa joke in another sense. it was I M P O S S I B L E! imposible (impOsiblay) if you will (spanish for impossible). I will be happy if i passed it.
Overall it as been a splendid week. Practice has been pretty tough and I've gotten in some awesome workouts. Wednesday night I did a really difficult leg work out and of course last night my coach decided it would be perfect if we did conditioning circuits, featuring a grueling leg circuit. So today my legs hurt to the touch. Serious pain. But surprisingly when I went to the gym to tumble with my coach today, my jumps were pretty high and my tumbling was tight. I was impressed. SO then I came home and being the smart (not so much) and dedicated (more like crazy) cheerleader that I am, did 20 jumps in my front yard with ankle weights. So now I am off to clinics with my little 6th grade girls. It's their last night =]
1. lunch with kelsie
2. easy chem exam
3. advil
4. hot shower
5. 6th graders =]

finals, summer and boycotts
Well the most stressful and hellish week of the year is over. I didn't make my school team but I'm really glad i didn't. To put it bluntly if you have skills and morals you're screwed. but if you sleep with everything that wears pants, get drunk and/or high every weekend you're epretty much set. You think I'm being bitter and unfair? I WISH!
You know if I put half the effort into studying for my finals (that start in 2 days) I probably wouldn't fail my algebra 2 trig final. I guarantee it's going to happen. Last semester I got a 60%. Cheerleading just came before studying. I only have one more day of actual classes and then 4 days of finals and I'M DONE!
Oh and if I haven't told you yet, J is going to Marshall for sure. He graduates this weekend. Since he doesn't have to be here for class he's been bringing me lunch. Today he's bringing me a salad from my favorite greek restaurant.
I'm almost back into my summer clothes again =] I swear this weight is melting off of me like butter on a hot knife.
Life is really good right now. I honestly can't complain. I'm really excited for summer. Kelsie and I go to florida in 40 days! It's going to be sooo crazy. I may have to buy a new memory card for my camera. it's a strong possibility. So yay for life =] The only thing I can complain about is the stupid whores who get rewarded for acting like idiots with a spot on Varsity. So many families have boycotted by no longer donating money to my school, including mine.
Well, I should finish a paper and start studying for finals but studying for finals is quite frankly against my religion. It's just never going to happen. So I will ace my easy classes and fail or barely pass the rest. Can I get an Amen from the congregation!
1. sun =]
2. J for bringing me lunch
3. farmers market
4. vacation countdowns
5. 5 days of school left

front tumbling and matching outfits
Today I made myself stop working on a term paper to update you on the day since I have been neglecting the blog. So now I'm taking 5 minutes to clear my mind and finish my sugar free rockstar (i swear it's the only way for a menstrual girl o make it through 3 1/2 hours of practice.) Tuesday was like one of those practices that pretty much made me feel like i suck at life. I just was not on top of my game I guess.
So there's this thing called a suicide (not the kind where you go all emo and kill yourself), it's a tumbling move where you basically do a front tuck (front flip in the fetal position, forward over your head) except you land on your hands and your butt. Well I have this thing with flipping forward...I DON'T LIKE IT! In fact I don't like front tumbling in general. I don't even like FORWARD ROLLS!!!! So I need to get one by November which pretty much needs I need to grow a pair and just throw it. I'll let you know how that works out.
School try-outs start monday. I have this tradition and it goes something like this. The floor of my room directly under my windows will be neatly lined with each and every out fit (including matching ribbon) that I will wear for clinics and try outs. I have done it since I can remember. Everyone I've ever cheered with always waits in anticipation to see what I will do next. I'm telling you...it's intense.
So wish me luck. And keep me in your prayers.

she's back people!
Well saying I haven't posted in a while would be an understatement. A lot has been happening and over all it's all been good.
1. My weight problem = solved
2. J and I = getting back together possibly?
3. cheerleading = working my ass off
4. school = almost over
1. So we went and talked to my doctor about this whole situation and he didn't put me on medicine like I had hoped but he put me on a special diet instead. At first I was pretty pissed and upset but it's actually really cool. I don't eat bread and grains except for multi grain cheerios, oatmeal, and granola. I can have whole grain pasta once every ten days but as yet i haven't had any. It's been about 2 weeks and i alread look and feel better. My size 8 clothes actually fit. Im no longer barely squeezing into them. I have so much more energy. I had stopped working out as much but now i'm back to a busy work out schedule
Monday: 1/2 hour tumbling w. coach
tuesday: 3 hour practice
weds: coaching / workout with trainer
thurs: 3 hour practice 1/2 hour tumbling with coach
friday: coaching and something light (if not it's my day off)
saturday; day off unless i don't do anything friday
sunday: hour - hour and a half workout cardio/weightlifting
So in that area things are fantastic =]
2. I've been helping J with this big project he has to do so we've been talking more and hung out a couple of times. It's really nice. We talked on the phone the other night for like 2 hours and realized that we both still have feelings for each other. We've kind of been friends with benefits for a while and now looking at the possibility of getting back together =] Can I just say that I missed kissing him more than I thought
3. The 2008-2009 cheer season is in full swing. I'm getting ready for school tryots as well. I really didn't want to try out again (I got cut the past 2 years because of the last name politics game that is my small catholic high school) but i figured i might as well give it a shot. We now have 3 hour practices and that allows for a hell of alot more conidtioning. At first it kicked my ass but it's gotten easier. i feel like i'm getting stronger every practice. I'm super excited for this season. we hae a really good team make up and we're already super close and we have only been practicing for like a month =]
4. School is almost over thank heaven. my grades dropped last quarter but i've brought them back up. I'm so ready for summer. It's gonna be the shiznit home skillet.
So now that life is out of my dark black hole and I am moving onto bigger and better things I am a very happy Krista. That old annoyingly perky Krista. I missed her =] Sorry to have abandoned this lovely blog
