Harry Potter

Yesterday me and Kara watched Harry Potter in creative writing class because we are doing our project on J.K Rowling, she is the lady that wrote Harry Potter. it was really cool because we got to go into the hall and watch a movie while everyone else had to sit in the class. I wish I could sit in the hall and watch movies in every class, or I would just rather stay home and watch movies all day, either one would be good, but I am excited for tomorrow because we get to finish watching Harry Potter, that means we get to sit out in hall again and do nothing while everyone stays in the class room, this is the reason that creative writing is my favorite class.

If I could take it back I would

Have you ever done something that you really wish you could take back, if you could go back and do it all over again would you? I would, I would take back something of mine that I gave to someone else, what it is does not really matter, what matter is that I gave something of mine away that I should not have given away and I would really love to have it back, but I can't, I just can't. I keep replaying the same thing over and over again in my head, and I think to myself why would I do that, it is so unlike me to do something like that, I guess that is why they call it a regret because it is something you know you have done wrong, but you can't have a redo, you can only learn from your mistakes that you make, and that is what I am going to do. I am going to take this mistake that I have made made and turn it around, and next time when this same situtation comes up, I know there will be a different outcome, and hopefully won't happen again for a long while.

GRANDMA

When I was nine my grandma died of cancer, it was a type of rare cancer that affects your blood. I remember when it happened. We were down in mexico and we had only been there for one day, the phone rang at 1:00 in the morning and it was my grandpa saying that my grandma had just died. even though I was still young when it happened I remember so much about her, and how she would do anything for me, Rob, and Krista, considering that we were her only grandkids. We all adored her and I remember sobing, and throwing my body down and crying on the floor at her funeral.

Now almost eight years later I find myself going through the same thing, my other grandma is not doing to well, she has lung cancer, and only has 5 months to live, put this time when I loose a grandparent I am not going to feel so bad, I know that sounds mean, but you would have to know my grandma to understand. I have only met the lady 4 times in my life and it happend all when I was little, so I have grown up knowing that I have a grandma that lives in Florida, and wnats nothing to do with her only grandkids, how can I feel sorry for someone like that, I guess I really can't. When the day comes that she is gone and my mom tells me, I will feel bad for my dad becase yes he has lost is mother, but other than that their was no emotional loss for me, and their will be no morning becasue I have lost something that I never really knew I had, Something that means nothing to me, and has no emotional impact on me.

Math Class

I am not doing to well in math class right now, I am having a lot of trouble and I am almost failing the class, my dad is usually here to help me with my math, but he has been down in Florida visting my sick gramdmother. I really wish he would come back so he once again could help me with my math. I think that if I was to work really hard during the next marking period and study a lot before my tests, I just might be able to pass my math class, I just hope everthing works out okay and I don't end up failing math like I did my freshman year, that would not be to good. I think that if I did that I would be in some trouble

The Time of Year

I really hate this time of year, but I also love it. I hate it because it is moving to slow, and this is the time of year that my life starts to spin out of control and I feel I am going to have a mental breakdown, with everything that is going on, like school, final gymnastics competitions, and my grandmother is not doing to well, everything in my life is just so stressful. But on the other hand I also love this time of year because the school year is finally coming to an end and things are starting to pick up pace a little, and move a little faster, which is good. I really can't wait for the end of the school year, I am finally a senior and I can't wait to be done with school.

Psychology

I really dislike psychology class, I am not going to say hate because I hate math class and I would take psychology over math any day. I just don't really understand what is going on in that class it is all so very confusing to me, and I don't know why. It is not like it is a boring class, I am not just doing to well in the class. I just don't do to well on the tests, its not like I don't study for the tests, because I do, but when I go to take the test I just sort of blank out, and then I forget answers to the test I should know, this is why I almost have a C in the class

Running out of ideas

I know i should have done all of my blogging earlier when i was supposed to, but i was just so busy with gymnastics and school that i had no time to write on my blog i know that is a lame excuse but i am telling the truth, that all i really wanted to say, and i just wanted someone to complain to, and since you can't respond what anything I am just going to keep complining

My B-day

My Birthday is coming up in three weeks and I can not wait to turn 18. Right now my life is finally going good and I hope that my birthday will just make it better. My mom says that she is getting me a really cool present for my 18th birthday, but she won't tell me what it is so I have been trying to figure it out but I really can not guess what it is which is becoming really annoying, but it is also a lot of fun trying to figure out what my mom has planed for my birthday, and if you already knew what you were getting for you birthday then it would not really be a present.

Level 7 State Meet

This weekend coming up is level 7 state meet, and is a pretty big deal for the level 7s because it is their last meet of the season, because they no don't have regional or nationals like the 8s, 9s, and 10s. But you want to know what makes me mad is that those little level 7 brats think that they are the best and that they can't be beat, they have sticks shoved so far up their butts that their is no possible way that they could ever pull them out, and you want to know what puts the icing on the cake is that my coach, the owner of Oakland Gymnastics, is making us go to one of the level 7 session and watch them compete which is going to annoy me so much, I really can't stand watching them, and their competition is somewhere past Lansing and that is a really far drive, and my mom can't drive me because she has to work, that means I have to drive me and my sister to the meet and we are probably going to get lost along the way, but that is okay, because we just have to go watch the level sevens compete, nobody really cares if I am not good with directions and don't feel comfortable driving that far away, I am just expected to be there, and if i am not I will end up getting in trouble, and that is the last thing that I need right now in my life.

Boyfriend Stealer

There is a girl who I do gymnastics with, her name is Nicole. Nicole is a freshman in H.S. and thinks she can steal my boyfriend. Everytime my guy is visiting me at the gym, she is staring at him with these big puppy dog eyes, it's so obvious she wants my boyfriend. I'm surprised she dosn't have drool running down the side of her mouth. I feel like smashing her face in, but of course I would never do something like that. The girl needs to get a life and quit checking my cute boyfriend out.

My Sister

As I am sitting here trying to catch up on some of my blogs before tomorrow my wonderful little sister said i should write something about her in fact she wrote herself an interview and then answered the questions and gave the paper to me and said "here please put this in your blog so everyone knows who i am". So here is Krista's interview.
1. What is your name: Krista Renee Niess
2. What is your favorite color(s): Pink, Green, and Orange

7. Do you have any pets: Yes I have a dog, her name is Elsa and she is so cute
This is the end of the interview I hoped you like my little sister Krista.

1/2 Day of School

Well I planned on coming to school today, but some things happened and i was not able to come, I really can't say what happened because i am pretty sure that it would be inappropriate (Kara I am really sorry, I know I told you I was coming to school, but I could not come, please forgive me, I will tell you more tomorrow at school).

On to other stuff now. I was really happy because I did not have to work at all. I got a call saying that they did not need me to come in after all. So I picked my boyfriend up from school then went and got my sister from school. The three of us went out to lunch at Applebees. I had chicken, and Krista had the cowboy burger, which i do not like because they put to much stuff on it. Then I had to go to practice, which is not really fun for me anymore because everyone is so much younger than me, but that is okay because i will be done with gymnastics in a matter of a few weeks, which could be a good thing, but could also be bad because a lot of people think that i am going to get out of control and start doing things that i am not supposed to be doing. I just wish that other people would worrying about my life and what i am doing because really it is none of their business, and start focusing their attention on their own lives and start worrying about what their children are doing and stop focusing on MY LIFE so much.

MONDAY

Today is Monday and I am very excited for tommorrow becasue it is a half a day of school. You have no idea how excited i am because i only have to go for half of the day, that means half of the class time, half of the work, no dressing for gym class, and less homework. The worst part is that i have to get up early for school, it would be alot better if i could not go to school at all, which is not going to happen becasue my mom will make me go to school, but after school i have to go to work, but if i am lucky i will not have to work, which will probably not happen.

JOSEPH

On Saturday I had to work and that was just a joy like it always is, it is just so much fun and I just love what I do, not really, it is OK for a little bit but then it starts to get a little boring. Well after work Jake came over and we watched the movie Bewitched, well only some of it, off and on. and then all of a sudden it was 5:30 and i had to meet Kara for dinner, and Jake decided that he wanted to com to dinner as well so me, Kara, Jake, and Kara's cousin went to Leos for dinner. and then me and Kara went to see Joseph at Northern, and it was really good, i liked it a lot.

FRIDAY

Me and my Boyfriend, Jake, went to see Ghost Rider on friday night after i finshed gymnastics practice. I end practice at 8:45 so he came over to my hour at about 10:00. Then we left to go to the movies, but we forgot to look online while we were at my house so when we got there is was about 10:25 and all of the movies had already started at 10:20 or 10:15 and the last show playing was Ghost Rider at 10:30 which I really did not want to see, but the movie turned out to be ok its not a movie that i would choose to see again just becasue the ending of the movies was so stupid becasue he has the choice to be normal again but instead he chooses to keep his power and leave the girl he loves.

What Dreams may come quotes

"Sometime when you win you lose"

When a person is so consumed with winning they no longer care about anything but winning. This is when winning has become an attiction that they can't get rid of. They have to win they really have no other choice. Becomming go attached to winning is when your body takes over and you are no longer thinking, you no longer care or necessarly like what you are doing, but you just have to win. you really don't care who you step on or over in order to win, even if it is your best friend of even one of your family members.

My Wonderful Weekend

Over the weekend I had a gymnastics competition on Saturday. This was my best meet of the season so far, which made me really happy. I ended up taking second place overall, and i won beam with a 9.175, which is really good. Our team also took second place overall, but we really wanted to get first. I also got my highest bar score of the year with a 8.775. Then on Sunday my sister had her gymnastics competition, she did really well, she ended up winning the whole gymnastics competition, she took first on Vault with a 9.5, first on Bars with a 9.35, first on Beam with a 9.225, and fourth on Floor with a 8.85, she also took first on all-around with a 36.825. Then after the competition we went to Mongolian barbecue which was really good because you can get as much food as you want and it still costs the same amount of money. Then when we got home Krista wanted to go out on the lake before all of the ice melts off it, so my mom made me go out there with her, while we were out there i ended up slipping and falling, and then Krista put her leg through a fishing whole that she did not see when we were walking along, then she started to cry because we could not get her leg out of the hole, so I had to run across the lake and get one of the ice fisherman to come over so we could cut her leg out of the hole, so the ice fisherman cut a circle around Krista's leg, and it popped out, but there was still a chunk of ice stuck around her leg so we went home and my dad spent two hours carefully scraping away 9 inches of ice away from her leg, after he got it off her leg looked like a red cherry. That was my exciting weekend.

There is Nothing to Write About

I always thought that i had an exciting life until we starting doing blogs, but i guess I don't have a very exciting life at all. I never realized how boring my life was until I had to write about it. Now don't get me wrong I love my life and the stuff i do but lately it just seems very routine. I get up in the morning go to school, come home, pick up my sister from school, come home again, go to gymnastics practice, come home once again, eat dinner, do my homework, take a shower, and then go to bed, then i will wake up the next morning and do the same thing the next day, and after a while this routine starts to get old. but i guess it is what i have chosen for my life, but i can't really complain because i love doing gymnastics and i would not give it up for anything in the world, but as my mom has told me time and time again and i am finally starting to understand gymnastics is what I do and not who i am. I have finally realized my senior year in high school that there is more to life than just gymnastics and my whole world does not have to revolve around gymnastics. I only wish i would have known this sooner, because in the long run it would have made my life a lot easier.

Elsa My Dog

You are so cuddly and warm
You get so happy when I come home
When I call you to the kitchen you happily swarm
You love to chew on you bone

You get so happy when I come home
Your little ears perk up when you hear the door
You love to chew on you bone
And when you sleep I can hear you snore

Your little ears perk up when you hear the door
You are so very small how cute you are
And when you sleep I can hear you snore
You are the best dog by far

You are so very small how cute you are
You don’t like other dogs
You are the best dog by far
You are so small you could fit in my clogs

You don’t like other dogs
You are so pretty
You are so small you could fit in my clogs
I know you would like to go on big adventures in the city
