the tournament is over. i survived. it was really good to see all the 05 ppl. miss them so much!

Jon Smith just handed me some really sweet music. i'm listening to it. it rocks. lately i've been getting into some female vocalist lead bands....and i'm really liking it. surprizingly enough. it's rock...just kinda had to figure out what kinds of sounds i liked....some really good chick rock include....Flemming and John (thanks to Jon D.), Veda(thanks to Underoath), hoi polloi, and the Capsules (thanks to Jon and Katy Smith). look some up. it's pretty addicting.

5th in DUO
4th in PROSE and it's only our first tourney. contented sigh.

4n6 is sooo much more fun than debate. it's not even funny.
South is hosting our tourney this weekend. lots of fun there. i get to bring random things like a relish tray and bagels and cream cheese for hospitality. then i get to be a hall monitor. collect ballots from judges....and just kinda hang out in the hall all by my lonesome. much more boring job than judges table. i won't get to see everyone every round. drat it all. hmm....guess i'll just have to make a point of seeing pple during the break and afterwards....

my other classes are going really well. got off to a pretty darn good start this semester. i'm definately enjoying this semester infinately more than last. so much more relaxing. oh, and another funny thing, we're doing the enrollment for next year. i have pretty much all of my required stuff out of the way, except for the english, math, science, and AP Am. Gov. i have all fun classes. and technically my math and science are electives too....yay for anatomy and physiology. woot for getting to disect cats....yummy. which is wierd b/c i love my cat. i'm so sick.

i have all this stuff that i've been wanting/waiting to do till senior year, when i have the time. should be a good year. that and i'm graduation May 21 or 20th ish 2007. and i'll be 18 in a little under 9 months (but who's keeping track). i mentioned that little tidbit of trivial knowlege to me mum and she got this really wierd look on her face. i asked how she felt about that and she said she felt "ancient". well she's not ancient. just so everyone knows. she's really cool too. i rock out w/ my mom on a regular basis. we both love the old Newsboys album "Hell is for Wimps" and the track "SimpleMan" John James rocks the free world and parts of communist China.

the Newsboys is nothing w/o him, and that's my supreme opinion. Kait

so...i'm not leaving anytime soon. actually i'll be around for more time than you might think. (evil laugh) i'm foiling the plots and plans of my younger siblings.

forensics season is officially started. i participated in congress for the first time and got a 6 on my speech. (that's the best you can get). woo hoo!

i also got my reading assessments back and i definately scored in the top 3% of my class...ooooh yaeeah baby! self esteem yeah. that's about all i'm got at.....reading and acting all crazy in front of a bunch of strangers.

aye me. kati

P.S. i leave you with possilby the greatest Shakesphere quote EVER!  "

D. Pedro.  Officers, what offence have these men done?
Dogb.  Marry, sir, they have committed false report; moreover, they have spoken untruths; secondarily, they are slanders; sixth and lastly, they have belied a lady; thirdly, they have verified unjust things; and to conclude, they are lying knaves." i love "Much Ado About Nothing"

Big Sigh! geeze! i'm soooo relieved to finally have the whole college next step, crud all figured out.

YAAAAAAAAAY! my mom also just handed me my w2 stuff! i'm getting money back from the government! woot. that's a good feeling.

everything is now all good and right w/ my little midwest, eastern Kansas, suburban Olathe world. another big sigh. Kait
