We just got through creating 5 letters asking for admission information for 5 colleges of our choices. After we inserted all the info we merged the letter and the college info so we didn't have to re type it. It was pretty cool!
So this weekend I had a softball tournament and we sucked! No Joke!! We had 2 pool games, 1 on Friday, 1 on Saturday. On Friday we did really well, we lost but it was a close game and everyone did what they were supposed to. On Saturday, in our first game of the day, me and Boo, my best friend, were the ONLY ones who talked and tried to keep everyones chins up. 2 of 14 players...yeah it didn't work, we lost, The score? A lot - 1. Our first bracket game, we lost and we were the only two talking it up yet again and do any of the coaches acknowledge us...NO! "Not a single soul is talking out there" while I can't even talk because I'm LOSING MY VOICE! Yes it was aggrivating! In our last game of the day...you guessed it we lost! More people were talking but so were we and by this point people are laughing at me because my voice is cracking like no other and I am beyond smoke-outta-the-ears angry because yet again I am sitting on the bench when I know I am just as good if not better than the girl playing on the field! But my mom did tell me that one of the moms told her that I was, by far, the best outfielder on the team and that made me happy!

WWWOOOOOO! More College Research! I'm gonna be so excited the day I get accepted to a college because I won't have to do anymore researching and stuff! Not to long ago, I had to choose 10 colleges I was interested in attending and write down where they were located and to see if they had my majors. It was for softball so, in addition to that, we had to see if they had a softball team, find all the coaches and assistant coaches names, their email addresses, the school colors and then the mascot. It took FOREVER and it was 10 times harder than what you'd expect! Then a couple of weekends ago, for our college exposure tournaments, we had to e-mail college coaches and tell them that we were in the tournament. We also had to tell them about ourselves, our grades, the classes we take, the position we play, any awards we have received academically and athletically and why we are interested in their softball program, which means you have to know your stuff! I e-mailed 3 coaches and was told that the one from Trinity stopped by to watch for a little bit(vey exciting!). So it's apparently worth it and I won't not do it, it's just very time consuming!

This Weekend we had Spring Woods Homecoming!!! It was so much fun. I did EVERYTHING! Friday night was my cousins birthday so we went over to my aunts house and I went
TRICK-OR-TREATING with her. Then we went back to my aunts house to watch THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS in their front lawn. I stayed there until 8-ish and then I went to the FOOTBALL GAME to see our team get pumulled 6-34! After the game I went to AMANDA'S HOUSE where we chilled and looked up people on FACEBOOK! On Saturday, I slept in, then went to CHILI'S with the whole fam beacause my family from England was leaving to go back home. After Lunch we went to my GRANDMA'S to say our GOODBYES and PAINT MY NAILS. My Madre then took me home to GET READY!!! At 4:30 we left to go back to my G-MA's because the fam wanted to see MY DRESS, Took a BILLION PICTURES, then headed to the IRVIN'S to take a BILLION MORE. After we finished taking pics, we went to PAPPADEAUX, the DANCE, and then the MALL to See HSM 3 (which was as corny as the first 2 at the beginning BUT GOT BETTER!!) in our DRESSES. It was SO MUCH FUN! Then we went to KELSEY'S HOUSE to eat ICE CREAM and play ROCK BAND. I had a GREAT TIME!
