New Semester, new times

*Hamlet video was a success, teacher loved it and cast had a blast!
*I threw a fun Valentines day party, man can Steve and Alex shake it!!! Dance boys, dance! Good food, good movie, good company, good times!
*I'm improving in Ultimate frisbee, catching passes, throwing, in fact last Thursday I caught my first touchdown pass!!!!!! I'm also starting to have a large amount of energy, guess it's because I'm starting to be positive and my team is constantly kickin' butt! Barracuda strikes, teeth of steel!!!
* Work is getting slightly better, my team leader on Fridays knows I love to serve!!!
* Classes are good and easy, though poetry can be a pain.
* I'm making new friends and growing closer to those I am friends with already!
*I did a coin drive for Shriners, and made quite a lot, but I've had a hard time getting to get the downlow on getting them the money, will let you know the amount when plausible.
*I've been writing and recording songs!
*I saw the awesome Alex Post perform in Portland ( he rocked yo!) and open mike thing at some person's house, impactful night, for more info message me!
*Alex and I are working on a hip-hop song that has an eye-opening message!!!
*I got to play chutes and ladders with my good friends Katelyn and Justin!!!
*God says I'm going through my major spiritual transformation, and I'm changing for the better.
*I stupidly pulled an all-nighter
*I have a sensor that monitors my blood sugars 24/7 and it's a pain and wakes me up, but it's sooooo worth it!!! =D
*I have my first choir concert of the semester Friday!!! Yes, I dropped french, and now I'm also in voice class, and it's helping me grow vocal wise and confidence wise!!! I love it, I'm learning two solo pieces, "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof, and "The Wizard and I" from Wicked the musical!
*I am attending Mr. Bruin, and excited for the fact that Shriners is the charity!!!
*I got my first beautiful Valentines day rose from a good friend!!! =D

Mirror on the inside revised

I thought I'd turn this into hip-hop style, and felt it should be longer, enjoy! Tell me whatcha think!



Beauty is vain,
beauty is pain,
I don't want to be the social norm,
I just want to be reborn,
through Christ filled with grace,
He who saved the human race,
I'm more than a pretty face,

Humanity can't tell me,
who I'm meant and need to be,
can't you look beyond skin,
and find other's beauty within,
I defy all boundaries,
God gives me these remedies,

You can't tell me 'cause I'm a girl I can't preach,
'cause God's word I'll still teach,
It's my calling,
every day I'll falling,
for my glorious Lord above,
His love exceeding your low conceptions of love,
I'm strong in Him who saved us through pain,
to bring His sweet healing rain,

To Him I'm His beautiful bride,
it's all about the beauty on the inside,
God judges the human heart,
and from us He'll never depart,
we girls got more that our looks,
don't judge on cover of books.


Beauty is vain,
beauty is pain.
