This week has sort of been a crazy time for my friends and I. This week I was a hall monitor (feel free to insert menacing music of your choice here). That means I wear a retarded yellow vest and carry around a clipboard while kicking people who aren't supposed to be in the hall out. I chose two girls to do hall monitor job with me, and my friend (yes, HE is a boy) chose two other boys.
The problems begin here.
So, one of the boys my friend chose is a little "hyper". He got a little jumpy and yelled at a few people, apparently. (I wasn't there; I'm taking my friend's word for it and I trust her completely.) The day after this happened, they spent the day contemplating this and decided that the boy should be suspended from hall patrol duty. I, however, was not particularly eager to take sides.
I was worried that if I joined the boys' side of the argument, I would lose my girl friends. But I didn't want to lose my guy friends either! I decided to be neutral, providing good reasons for both sides' arguments.
Most of you know that some girls are passionate about the things they are supporting. One of my girl friends is one of them. She tried all through today to convince me to "have an opinion" and that I was "entitled to say what I think."
I tried to convince her that I didn't WANT an opinion.
My guy friends seemed to be slipping away, most likely thinking I would most definitely side with the other girls. I made it known that I was NEUTRAL.
Finally, the boy whom this was all about yelled at someone and called their cousin stupid, and my guy friends drew the line. They "fired" him, so to speak, and FINALLY, everything is back to normal again. I was proud of the guys. They are willing to sacrifice things for others of more importance. Which is why guys are good to have around.

Things that Happened Today
Today was a sort of good and bad day.
Today, being a student council officer, I had to go over the intercom and do morning announcements. It was scary because I messed up and my demonic assistant principal was standing right next to me and looking at me like I killed someone.
Then I had to go practice for the sixth-grade dance -- coming up this year! We started partner dancing. It was fun, but a little awkward.
We also had science presentations and I sort of forgot about them, but at least I was prepared.
I had hall patrol at school which is almost impossibly boring. Ugh. YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
On the way home from school my friend almost fainted and her brother got a giant goose egg- about the size of a key chain. Yikes.

What is the Country Coming To?
Wow. Yikes.
House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
1. They voted to not give you a S.S. Cost of Living raise in 2010 and 2011.
2. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2 years and you will not get the 3% COLA.
Your total 2 year loss and cost is $1,600 or $3,200 for husband and wife.
3. Over 2 years they each get $10,000.
4. How’s that hope and change workin’ out for ya?
5. Will they increase your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc.?
NO WAY
6. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you? They have a raise and better benefits – so typical of the socialist ruling class. You never did anything about it in the past so they believe you obviously don’t care or are too stupid or apathetic to do anything about it now.
SEND THE MESSAGE— You're FIRED.

I'm a Slacker, I Know It!
Okay, here it goes . . . Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I know, it's a week late. Well, I changed the blog for the new year.
Updates: Well, school's great. I love my classes, especially ancient world history, particularly Greece. I love the mythology!
For musical theater, I'm doing Seussical the Musical. I am a Bird Girl. I'm performing in March and I will be singing a lot. The songs are fun, the dances are exciting, the teachers are nice (and weird) and I love it so much!
I played recreation soccer this year. I was a decent player and I scored a couple goals. My basketball season starts on Friday and this is one of the many exciting things happening to me this month! I LOVE to play basketball! It's so fun!
My last year was way fun! I got to go to St. George with my Granny Louw, and we saw the Secret Garden in the Utah Shakespearean Festival. I got to go hiking with my friends and activity day group, and this summer was one of the few that didn't involve any bee stings, which rocked! I also turned twelve and became a Young Woman. Going to Mutual is awesome! I love our church! This November I got to go to overnight Space Camp with one of my good friends. It was the highlight of November! I loved it! If you don't know what it is, check out the website, http://www.spacecamputah.org/, or the blog, http://voyagerslog.blogspot.com/. I think that BYU did AWESOME this year, which made me happy. So far, my life is goofy, but good. Thank you to all my many amazing friends who helped make my year great!
