things i've learned in the past two weeks.

hello world of blog stalking, cyber creepers, most of whom i don't know ;) it's been like a week and a half since i've blogged which is pretty much a normal thing for me right? right. but then there was this girl named Sarah who promised she'd let you know how she did with basketball tryouts a week ago. *sigh* let's begin that long story shall we? well, a week and a half ago i stepped onto the basketball court nervous as ever, crossing my fingers that i would do something spectacular, make a crazy shot, just do something to get the coaches attention and increase my chances of making the team. i did. and those three hour strenuous tryouts almost killed me. not that they shouldn't, it's basketball for crying out loud. but my dad picked me up at seven, we didn't get home till seven forty five. then it was family night, and i had to eat dinner. then at eight fifteen i remembered i had homework which i spent an hour and a half doing. then i remembered i had been running arround for four hours straight and should prolly shower. then it was my nightly routine of journal, scriptures, prayer, and at eleven at night i finally fell asleep. ONLY to be woken up at four thirty by my mother the next morning for early morning seminary. CONCLUSION: i can't live like that every day for the next four months. i'm dealing with things every other girl on that team isn't. i'm a transfer and have to drive half an hour (on good roads, on bad roads it can take up to an hour) to and from school every day. plus, i have early morning seminary. i woke up the next morning crying at the thought of putting myself through all that. i just couldn't do it. SO i did something that six months ago when i was happily playing basketball in utah i never imagined myself capable of doing. I QUIT. and even though every day i think about basketball and how much i miss it, i don't regret it at all. i would have missed seminary multiple times a week had i stayed, and basketball practices were on sunday, i'm not sure whether or not i would have been able to avoid those. then i realized something. everything happens for a reason and the things that have happened to me since i've moved have made me such a better person and i wouldn't go back and change anything. i know who i am now, and i know what i stand for, what my standards are, and I'M PROUD OF THEM. so that is all. i'll prolly hold off on the blogging for a little while...or at least through thanksgiving break. so have a happy turkey weekend and thankyou. for reading my blog despite my anticlimatic posting.
forever and always

yo soy emocionado tocar baloncesto

that's right people. tomorow marks day one of baksetball tryouts. they run three hours every day monday-thursday. basically, i'm beyone nervous. i want this so bad, i love being able to belong to a team, feeling like you have this group of twelve friends who will be with you through thick and thin. i've missed that so much since the move and want it back. really bad. it will hopefully improve my: i have no friends outside of church who are girls situation. and i love the three hours of exercise a day i'm forced to get. i always feel so much happier! if i don't make the team though i don't have any regrets. i didn't practice as much as i should have this summer which makes sense considering i moved halfway across the country. it would just make me want to practice even harder this year and give it one last try next year. HOPEFULLY though i make the team and don't actually have to consider that. basically that's about all i have to say. also, all my free time is about to be taken away from me forever...or at least for the next four days...hopefully forever though. i'll let you all know the outcome of tryouts friday or saturday. i want to be back in uniform so bad.

wish me luck yes?

forever and always

Sarah Leslie

i support

despite everything that is going on in her life i still love her all the same. team jonas asked us that we post this on our blogs in support of demi. she'll get through this.

sudden realizations

One: i'm pretty sure there is no chance whatsoever i'm going to make this basketball team in two weeks. tryouts are monday-thursday for three hours each day and i'm honestly terified. i don't think i'm good enough for this team.

Two: despite this whole basketball situation i really like where my life is at right now. i love where i am right now, although i won't deny the fact that i'm ready for this year to be over so the firsts can be done with.

Three: as of tomorow we will have lived here for five months. CRAZY.

Four: I don't really like the Jonas Brothers that much anymore. Reasons?

-Joe Jonas is dating (and lost his purity ring to) freaking ashley greene

-they're not the same boys they were even a year ago.

-Nick Jonas is way too atractive for his own good.

-Mr. Jonas kicked Demi Lovato off the tour for 'emotional and physical issues' she was having and she is now in rehab for reasons unknown. the biggest rummor being cutting. AND she deleted her twitter which is a bummer seeing as she had three million followers. i personally think all this is because she is still heart broken from hers and joe's relationship. of course joe bringing ashley on tour probably didn't help ANYTHING.

-i still continuously stalk Kevin and Danielle Jonas because they're perfect together and Kevin is the lone person who has stayed the same...kinda. but i still like them enough. now that i'm done with that Jonas rant of sorts...

Five: I feel really good about myself right now because my international foods teacher went out of her way to email my old foods teacher back home and thank her for the background and experience she has given me. ms. newbury replied back with a few words of encouragement that made me feel really good, and made me want to continue my dream of becomming a chef...if i don't become an english teacher or a sports medicine doctor hehe.

Six: tomorow, i am going to the temple for my first time since we've moved, and i'm really excited about it.

Seven: i turn sixteen in six months and twenty two days

Eight: i love Cory Monteith from Glee.

Nine: i wish i was taller

Ten:i really want a Gnome for christmas *hint hint mom*

Eleven: sometimes i'm convinced that i'm Taylor Swift and i like to go prancing through the hallways bursting out in song. this is probably why people think i'm strange haha.

well i'm pretty much done with this whole list making thing. i'm super excited for november and all it has to offer. this friday is the end of the term, then in two weeks it's basketball tryouts and the week after that TAYLOR AND MADISON COME FOR THANKSGIVING! then it's pretty much like december and christmas and 2011 and before i know it the school year will be over and i'll be back in utah playing with my friends hehe.

enchanted to meet you,

Sarah
