Florida

In less than 5 hours I will putting the final items into my suit case. At around 4, a car will be in my driveway to take my family and I to the airport. I cannot wait, I haven't been able to go to Florida for two years and I've been extremely sad.
Once we are at the airport, we will be checking in my dad's golf bag. That is the only book that will be checked. We have managed to stuff all of our stuff into one bag for each of us. The years that we have gone before, we have taken a carry on and a bag to check.
After we check the bag we will go through security, the worst part of the whole airport screening. In line Emily, my sister, will be asking my dad over and over again when she should take her shoes off, and if her glasses will set off the alarm.
Once through security, we will finally go to find something to shove down our throats. We will most likely eat at a Max & Erma's or someplace like that. At that point we should be able to enjoy our meal, since we'll have two hours or so until our flight.
After dinner, we will head to the terminal. I will be dying, of both excitement and exhaustion. Since I didn't check a bag, I will be carrying my bag all through out the journey in the airport, killing my shoulder and back. But it will be worth it, not having to wait for it in Florida.
Once the plane finally arrives, I will be next to my sister as she is gripping my arm extremely tight. She gets terrified of flying, and I get the pleasure of sitting next to her the whole way there. It should be fine once we take off, and it will be smooth sailing from there on until Jacksonville Airport :)
CAN'T WAIT!

:(

My head hurts right now, and I want to be done with school and go home now. Just looking at this computer is killing my head. I need some tylenol or something to get my head not to hurt. It's like pounding and I need to lay down. I need to sleep.

Spring Break

By this time next week, I will be on the beach, or by the pool, in Florida. Last year I didn't get to go, because the break was earlier than the previous years. But this year, my family and I are fortunate to get to go.

I seriously can't wait! My plane will leave around 7 p.m. on Thursday next week. While most people will be leaving Friday or Saturday, I will already be there. I'm just going to spend my time by the beach and pool tanning. I'm like a ghost right now, it's gross.

Plus I love going out to eat. Especially to this resturaunt we go to every year, the Conch Shell. You can eat in these huts that are over the water. When you look out of the huts, then you look over the beach, and see the sunset.

I love flying at night. Because when you look out the window of the plane, you can see all the city lights, when you are over major cities. I hope it is a clear night, just so I can see the lights.

I also hope that by the time we leave for the plane, my camera will be fixed. I can not go on vacation for 2 weeks without my camera. I live on taking pictures.

Well there is only 6 more days to go before I leave, and I have already pretty much packed. Since we are hoping to leave right when we get home from school on Thursday.

Swimming

Swimming in gym officially sucks. I hate it. It's been two weeks and all we've done is do laps and "free time." This consists of the guys playing water polo in the deep end and the girls sitting around in the low end, getting upset because we all had to wet our hair to sit around in a pool for an hour. Which personally I think is a waste of time. Especially because I just got my hair cut last weekend, and no one can tell because I have to put my hair up, otherwise it will look gross. And gross is unacceptable, even though it just looks great up too... Oh well only one more week, then I can start counting down until Florida :)

Water

Ever since second hour I think I have had water in my ear. Since we are swimming in gym, water in my ear is pretty reasonable. It's really annoying me because everything is echoing in my ear and it;s driving me insane. There's no way to get it out besides sleeping on my side tonight. So i'll have to go my last two hours with everything echoing in my ear. Well at least that way I'll hear everything more than once, so I'll maybe pick up on something instead of not hearing it. The water needs to come out now!

My Day Off

Yesterday I had no school so my day was different than usual. Yesterday I woke up at Kaityln's house with Kaitlyn and Rachel. I was really tired, because we had stayed up jumping on the trampoline for a long time the night before (techniqually it was the morning). I had to leave Kaitlyn's at like 10:30 though, because I had practice.
At practice I worked pretty hard because regionals is tomorrow, and we have to do good to win it. We should be fine in coming in first, but you never know what might happen. Although at practice I couldn't do bars, because I cut my finger open the day before, on some crutches. Apparently playing with crutches is bad luck...I believe it now. I should be fine for Saturday though, that's all I care about.
After practice, Katie and I went to Coney Island with my mom. She was stressed out because my grandpa got surgery on his lungs the day before. We had to get her calm and all. Which we accomplished nicely:)
All in all my day off was pretty good, I like days off from school.

No Phone :/

I currently don't a phone in my possession. I had just gotten my new phone Friday night. My new phone is the AT&T quickfire. I had been waiting for that phone since my birthday, on January 24th. Cause whenever we went to the store, or checked online, it was "temporarily out of stock." So, when I got it taken away, you can imagine how pissed I was. I had waited for that phone long enough.

I got it taken away because on Sunday night, my sister and I were getting along. When we get along we tend to gang up on my parents. So when my mom wouldn't sign on the computer (she put a password on it because she didn't like our "attitudes"). She took almost 40 minutes just to sign on the computer, so Katie and I were fighting with her at this point. I had followed Katie into the office, and my dad came in a told me to get out. I got out. But, and hour later I had gone back in to help her with her paper. My dad had come back and saw me in there, and took away my phone.

It got worse. Monday morning I found my phone in the family room, so since I still had my old phone, I took the SIM card out of the new phone, and put it in my old one. That way I still had my phone. My dad found out somehow, (I think he was trying to look through my phone, can't do that without the SIM card) and took that one, too. So now I am at a loss of texting. Which sucks, I always text. I REALLY need my phone!

My Office

Not really sure what to write about, so I let you know what I see. I'm currently sitting in my office, on my computer. The first things that I see include...
1. My phone (I always have it with me)
2. Well my computer (it is right in front of me)
3. A plastic kiddy phone (my 2 year old cousin, Jackie, enjoys it very much)
4. A dictionary (I don't know why that's out)
5. A golf trophy for my dad that has LOWEST TEAM SCORE inscribed on it (my dad's much better at golf now)
6. A green sharpie (I used it to write on my cds)
7. A yearbook from Riley last year (I was looking at my little sister's old boyfriend)
8. An iTunes card (Already used, has no more value to me)
9. A gummy package (uhmmm, yeah)
10. And a globe (I like to see the world)

Well that's was I first looked at.

My dad's company owns buildings across the globe and he was lucky to be able to go to almost all of them, within the the year that he has been there so far. But this weekend is Fort Lauderdale, FL. He is there for his business, though he does not do much business while he is down there. They only have meetings in the morning, and the night is there's.

While he is down there he always picks up a souvenir for my sisters and I. It is usually something small and good. Although when he went to Paris, he got us purses, including my mom. I enjoy the gifts he gets us, I mean who wouldn't, but I miss him when he is gone. We try to talk almost every day while he is gone.

He leaves for trips a lot, but when he comes back, we always go out to eat. His treat :)

Canton Invite

Over the weekend there is a Canton Invite for gymnastics. This meet is going to be extremely difficult to come home with. Although, my team is currently second in the state, so this meet won't be too hard to place in, but we will be competing against the other teams that rank in the top ten spots. Pretty much the meet is going to be like a mini state.

The meet will begin around 8 with open warm-up; we will not start to compete until 9:15. Since the invite is so big, there are 18 teams competing in it. Meet can take almost all day just for ten teams, now double it, it’s going to take awhile. If you are not competing, you have to sit in the stands and cheer on your team. This gets pretty boring. In the stands we normally just listen to our iPods or talk. We are not allowed to have our phones in sight. If we do then our team gets a point deducted from the final team score. A point may not seen like a lot, but the difference between the first place and second place team last meet was only a tenth, a point taken away would have made it a huge win.

Although, so it is not as boring, there is a food room for all the gymnasts, which is where we spend the most of our time, when we are not competing. In the food room we are the team that you see that has all the food on the table. Other teams don't bring as much food as we do, but we eat all the time at the meets. Though, most teams only will eat what they bring during the judges break (or for the gymnasts lunch), or when they are not competing. Our team is really large compared to the other teams, so we always have girls sitting out, though the other teams have to put all their gymnasts in to be able to have a team score at the end. There is always someone at the food table.

Yeah, whatever

My name is Sara. I am constantingly reminded of, and made fun of for my height, although currently I don't really care. I am a varsity gymnast, so I spend most of my existence in a gymnasium, working skills that could possibly injure me quite seriously. In gymnastics you are constantly striving for perfection, but I'm no were near perfect. In the time I am not in the gym, I'm most likely with my friends, especially Rachel, doing something pointless. My sisters, Kaite and Emily, are always on my nerves, Emily more than Katie. But we do get along some of the time. My birthday is on January 24, which means I turned 15 not to long ago. I laugh and talk more than I probably should, but whatever. I have a strong fear of falling from great heights, though I do that on a daily basis. I like to have fun with whatever I do.
Every year for spring break my family and I go to St. Augustine, FL. We have a condo down there that we use every year, well almost. While down there we are almost never inside the condo though. We are always out at the beach or down by the pool. I love to go out to each there, especially to the Conch Shell, where you can sit in a canopy that is over the water. We will always go there around sunset. My parents have the best room in the condo, because it overlooks the ocean. I love the sound of waves when I wake up, so when I wake up I'll go down to the beach. When we are there we also will always go shopping in the downtown area. My sisters and I love this part the best. We can sure spend money fast, which my parents aren't too fond of. I just love to go to Florida, when I go I never want to come back.
