andrea.

There have been so many times where Ive wanted to blog about my life or how I feel, but I can’t bring myself to it because these blogs are public and I'm not willing to risk that. I go through a lot more than people think. No one really understands how I feel because Im going through things that a teenager shouldn't have to go through. Instead of blogging about that, Im going to blog about how annoying and loud Andrea is. I have no words to explain her. She's very nice and sweet, even helpful. But… other times she can irritate me, and I let her know that every chance I get. She's literally my human punching bag, I take everything out on her and I feel s bad for that. She's the type of person who doesn't hold grudges against you and will always be there when you need her. She told me that she wanted me to blog about her, so I went ahead and did so.

tournaments.

If you have been reading some of my other blogs, you should know that I'm on a travel volleyball team. If not than this blog is just an update on how its over all going. In a couple of weeks we have a tournament on May 14th. Im worried because I'm not sure if our team is genuinely ready for this as a whole. We have progressed a bit, but I honestly don't think its enough for something so huge. We are kinda getting the hang of bump, set.. kill but its not as consistent as it should be. The tournament is nothing like how our Portola games were in the past. This is much more than that. People from all over the world who have been working just as much as us, maybe even more are attending the tournament and that scares me. Other than that tournament, on April 29th at lunch we are playing against coaches and teachers at lunch. You should probably be expecting a blog next month about how it all went.  

six flags.

On April 16th, Sherwin, Shiley, Ariel, and I went to Six Flags for the day. This would be my second time going with in the month. They all came over in the morning and once we were all ready we bounced around 10:00 o'clock. The first ride we went on was Tatsu when we got there. This would probably be my favorite ride in the park. Sherwin brought his go pro and used it on every ride we went on and its pretty hilarious looking back at all the videos. We went on Scream, Full Throttle, Goliath, Viper, and X2. The line for X2 was insane. We waited for a good 2-3 hours, and we were exhausted. X2 is probably the most extreme ride I've been on. The majority of the time on the ride I was way too focused on how much pain it was causing me. The ride hurt but other than that it was pretty great. By the end of the day we got about 15 re fills using Sherwins Six Flags cup. I had an amazing time and can't wait till all of the 8th graders go together in a couple months.

unleashed.

After winning district volley ball championships for Portola Middle School, the girls and I have began a travel ball team. Anyone from ages 13-15 can qualify to play. "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." Thats my motto. The team name is Unleashed Girls Volleyball. The meaning behind the name was that Jerome Lowe believes only you can unleash what your capable of doing, you're the only one who could bring out the best of you. Anyone who is willing to put the work and effort into getting better and improving in the sport is welcome. Its a lot to handle but its all worth it at the end. The improvement I have personally made over the past few months is pretty great so I encourage anyone to start.

beach.

February 21, 2016. On this day I experienced some very extraordinary things. Orin, Tamir, Negin, Daniel, Mireille, David, and I all decided to go to the beach, but it wasn't that simple. No one had a ride so it got a lot more complicated than we thought it would. I slept over at Orins the night before and she told everyone to be at her house at 7:30 in the morning. Orin and I didn't sleep until around 3 A.M. She woke me up at 6:45, telling me to get ready because everyones coming. Our only option was to take the bus, so we had to do that. Luckily orin lives really close to the metro so we walked there. We took about five different buses on our way to the beach. All together with all the stops and waiting we got there three hours later. It was actually really funny and interesting. Coach Jerome unexpectedly came at two as well. We all hung around until five then walked around 3rd street till we caught a bus which took us all home. It was quite an adventure but I had an amazing time, if I could Id do it all over again.

coach jerome.

Coach Jerome is by far the best coach I've ever had in my life. Although he may be very hard on us, he does everything for a reason. Unlike other coaches, Jerome actually teaches us things and wants us to become better at what we can do. In the beginning of volleyball everything would hurt and practices would be insanely difficult, but he only did that to make us stronger. Comparing myself from the first day till now,  he has made a huge difference on me as a player and person as well. Im a lot stronger than I was on day one. He had requested for me to blog about him. I appreciate everything he has done for me and my team mates because we would be no where with out him.

grey's anatomy.

Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama series that focuses on a big group of doctors who work at a hospital in Seattle. Most of the characters began working as interns. Grey’s first aired on March 27, 2005. This show has been on for about eleven years. They are currently playing their twelfth season, thats on every Thursday night at 9:00. If you watch Grey’s Anatomy and are not up to date I suggest you stop reading this. Most of the doctors are dating each other and theres this one couple who just recently got divorced earlier on in the season. Right after she signed the divorce papers, she found out she was pregnant. It was a huge deal and she only told her close friend. She didn't want to tell the dad about it so her friend had gone behind her back to tell him. Thats where the show has left us off on and Im dying to see the next episode. A lot of exciting things happen during this show, you may shed many tears as well and I do recommend it to anyone.

sherwin turd.

Sherwin Navi wanted me to write a blog about him, as well as Lana did so Im going to do that. Me and sherwin used to stay up on face time till three in the morning playing ‘ Fun Run ‘. Every single game we would play, Id come in first place. Sherwin and I had the same character, which was a turtle. He would come in third place every time so of course I would make fun of him. I even made a nick name for him which is “ turd “. Since then I've always called him turd. He thinks he beat me so we argue about who's the real turd every day. Sherwin is one of the most trust worthy guys I've ever met, hands down. He will always keep your secrets and cheer you up when you need it, and those are just a few things I love about him. Thursday of every week is our Greys Anatomy nights. We both watch the episode on tv weekly and snap chat each other back and fourth reacting to all things that happen in the show. Its honestly so fun and I always look forward to it. We even have a count down. Well I’m running out of things to say so Ill end my blog here. 

pet peeves.

There have been a lot of things that I hate recently, so why not blog about it ? Instead of this being a blog, I'm going to turn it into a rant. One thing that has been getting on my nerves are people who say they have trust issues and hesitate to tell me things, but when I tell them something.. the next second i find out that person told someone. Its so annoying because they're the ones who say they cant trust anyone but I cant even trust them. Another thing that I hate is that when I'm upset or in a bad mood, everyone feels like the need to surround me and ask me a million times what happened or whats wrong. It honestly pisses me off because I'm the type of person that likes to be alone when I'm upset and people try getting way too involved in things they don't need to be involved in. I would keep writing about the thousands of things i hate but I still have another blog to do so maybe Ill make another hate blog next month. 

sveta.

I have this one really good friend named Sveta. She is a person who will always be there for you no matter what. She's one of the happiest most energetic people i know, which could get annoying at times because, you know.. its Sveta. Sveta is in love with this one kid, and she irritates me so much about him. All i hear when I'm around her is, “ oh my god, bae is so cute. “, “ I miss bae. “, “ His arms are so perfect “, “ I love bae. “ and a bunch of other things that i probably ignored her saying. I get that she likes the kid but she needs to chill a little because if she doesn't stop Ill have to hurt her, seriously. Anyways thats my blog about Lana.

volleyball.

Last Saturday I had a volleyball championship game at Sun Valley High School for Portola. The first game we played was extremely nerve wracking. We lost the first game against them, then won the second which put us in the position of playing one last game that went up to 15. We were up by 7 points but then had the other team serve. They came back 7 points which tied us at 14-14. Mireiile was up to serve and if she misserved we would've lost the game. She served and made it and the other team couldn't play it over. That made the score to be 15-14 our lead. We needed one more point to win the whole thing at it was all in her hands. When she served over it went out but was so close to the line that the other team accidentally touched it. At that moment we won, it was official. Everyone went crazy. That was not the end though. We still had the last school to play. It went by fast and we ended up winning the championships. Now its time for district. Im so proud of all the girls, we all did an amazing job.

richard.

 I am going to write about Richard, he was someone I was friends with growing up, we haven’t spoken in a really long time. When we were younger he had a girlfriend, I mean back then what was a girlfriend? Just a friend with a label. But his “girlfriend” became his number one priority, so he started distancing himself from everyone, especially me. Its been at least 22 months which is almost 2 years, since we last talked, but I am starting to miss him now, but I wasn't missing him until I started thinking about him. Basically he was choosing his so called girlfriend over me, which hurt really bad because he was my my best friend. Now when I see him, It sucks because he was once a huge part in my life and now is like a complete stranger.

minnie mouse

This blog will be written about Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse and there journey through out 7th and 8th grade. It all started on January 10th, the day that Minnie had first developed feelings for Mickey. After she had realized that, she began to text and communicate with him days after. They would share their biggest secretes with each other and have conversations for several hours a day. A month later she had someone tell him how she felt towards him. Mickey texted her after finding out saying that nothing between them will change because of the fact that he knows. They were good for a while until people would bother him and say things about them all the time which made him mad and started to ignore her. Their friendship was on and off until he one day had told her to " take a break from talking to him ". After he said that she had realized she couldn't be happier. TO BE CONTINUED....

natalie verdi.

This week is about Natalie Verdi, she's 14 and has a very interesting love life with Steve. Steve is a 14 year old boy who dresses very nicely. Natalie Verdi and Steve one day bought each other Starbucks before school because thats how strong there love is. They both got each other a Caramel Frap which I find to be a sign of true love. When ever I'm near them when they are together its the most irritating thing because all they do is express how much they love each other. I feel like throwing up all over the both of them just to get them to stop. Any ways aside from that Natalie Verdi  is the best cousin you could ever ask for and I love her more than she loves Steve. :) Oh and i forgot to mention that ever week on a Thursday i go to her house to beat her in basket ball and sock the living hell out of her punching bag. :)
