Baby cousin

My cousin just had a baby girl. She is beautiful and her name is Lucy Jane. She has the brightest red hair and is just the cutest thing. She is so tiny. She weighed 6 lbs. 7 oz. and was 21 in long. They live in Virginia so i havent been able to see her in person but i get pictures everyday of her. she is soo cute.

Christmas Party!

Last night my mom, sister, and I went to a Christmas Party. It was a Christmas Party for my mom's extended side of the family. We do it every year but normally it's in the middle of December but everyone is getting older and it's getting cold out and really dark early so we had to get it done asap.
The oldest there was 83 and she was actually looking better than normal then her great grand daughter who just turned 6 months old. She was so cute. She's just learning how to crawl and is doing so well at it.
We had a lot of fun last night and glad we went. My grandma was suppose to come over to our house and then we were all gonna go over to the party but just before we were suppose to leave my grandmother called and said she was sick and wasn't feeling well with the chills and flu-like symptoms. The doctor thinks its just a reaction to the
H1N1 shot. Shes feeling a little bit better but shes still not feeling herself. We are suppose to have Thanksgiving at her house on Thursday but if shes not feeling better then we will be having everyone over at our house to have Thanksgiving. Im hoping that shell feel better by then because normally on the day before my sister and i go over to my grandmother's house and help her clean and cook.
Well im off to help clean the house.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

School

Well I have been really busy with school. Im gonna be even more busy with school because my grades arent to hot. Im trying my hardest but its just not working. We just finished the second marking period. All the teachers said that the first marking period was gonna be easy because it was all gonna be review from the year before.
Since this is my first year in high school im not used to the pace. Well i did really well the first marking period and the second marking period seemed a lot harder and i just couldn't keep up. English was getting harder by the day and it seemed like the class was going by sooooo fast and i just couldnt keep up. Global went slow but too slow for me. I know when i say to slow youre probably thinking so im doing really good. HA! thats a joke. Im not doing well at all in there. I never seem to be able to do well in history. I dont like learning about history and i dont get why i need to learn about something in the past. I dont care. Global always brings my overall average down. Spanish i always do fine in and that brings my grade up quite a bit. I love learning spanish and i know that since i need to know spanish for the career I am interested in.
So to the grades. In the first marking period for English i had a 88 percent but now in marking period two i have a 75. Yes you sadly read that wrong. I know that the grade should go up in the third marking period because we are in the process of doing a research paper. We had to turn in 60 notecards (not all at the same time) and then the teacher would grade them and hand them back to us the next day. Well i have turned all the cards in that are needed and i have gotten 100's and 102's on them which should make my grade go up BUT i just got my one test back and didnt do so well with a 67. Im gonna start trying a heck of alot harder to get that grade especially up. In global i dont know what my recent grade is but it was a 79 or something like that. I dont think that one went down too much if it went down at all. Spanish i have a 98 which went up 2 points so im happy about that one.
Im now all done with volleyball and had my banquet on Saturday and i did get an award. My coach makes things up for the catergories of the awards and nicknames for each player. My nickname was "the noodle" because whenever i jump up and hit the ball my wrist doesnt stay stiff and i injured my wrist when the season was almost over so thats almost the only thing i hear about now. lol :) I was awarded screecher because supposedly whenever im running for the ball and cant get to it in time i screech (i dont think i do but whatever).
So i have been very busy with volleyball and trying to keep up with the school work. Also i got another boyfriend and i just cant seem to focus on the work. of course he is in all of my classes so i cant focus in any of them. O well ill just have to work as hard as i can. Off to do my homework.
