Don't ya just love 'em?

..I really don't want to vent...but I will anyway.

I(Ali) am not really someone who likes to share her problems with the world. I feel like I'm whining...but tonight...I think that's exactly what I'll be doing. So you can stop reading RIGHT NOW.

1)This week has been super rough. My team split up. Well..k, me and a few teammates have been abadoned. Wow. I didn't know this day would come with the Wasatch 92 Premier team. This hits me hard. These girls were my sisters. They were great. We've come so far after problems in the past. In one year we went to England together, we won Turkey Shoot, and went to the College Showcase in Las Vegas. So many things went on behind the scenes though, but that's a different story. Anywho, so this week has been hectic/sad/full of anger, as me, my coaches, and another teammate have been scrambling around looking for a place to go next spring. On a good note,it has actually been going quite well. My dad's talked to some people, my coach has too, and my teammate/captain have decided we're going to get through this together. Hopefully things work out for the both of us.
2)My grades are down the toilet. K..I guess they could be worse, but they're low for me and I don't want to end my sophmore year with a report card like that. With hardly any time left to get them up, I'm stressing out. Yesterday, I was in drivers ed. We had a written test. Yeah, I didn't do the greatest on it..but I didn't think it'd bring my grade down as much as it did. I was at 100% and now I'm at a letter grade which will most likely get me punished. Joy. Then, during math, I get my final test back. It was optional, and I could use it to replace another test score from earlier in the term. It replaced one, and brought my grade up a whoppin 2%..again, leaving me with a grade I hadn't hoped for. Then, finally, in debate, (k, I guess this isn't a grade thing, its just my embarassing moment of yesterday) I had to give my oratory (a ten-minute long memorized speech on a subject you're very passionate about.) I chose poverty. I thought I prepared it well, I got it memorized and within the time-limit. The very first time I practiced it at my house though, I found myself crying. This subject is a little hard to handle. I ran through it more and more, and the tears eventually stopped. Then I did it in front of the class.
I was fine for the most part. A little bit in the beginning I started choking up but it was ok once I started feeling a little more confident. I got all the way through and down to my last sentence. Just one more sentence. I looked at my friend Dani...and her eyes were full of tears. Here come the waterworks for me. I spit that last sentence out while feeling the tears coming on, then the clapping came, and-oh it was just embarassing.
3) Today was...eh. It started out unhappy,(with a small time of happiness after passing my driving test!) but then I was really excited for Spring Fling. I guess it didn't go the way I was expecting. I didn't end up going to the Rec Center...I watched soccer instead. That was actually pretty fun, and intense. I also got to hear some great guitar music that I'd never heard before. Still though, I didn't get to talk to a certain someone for as long as I hoped I would because I ended up cutting my Spring Fling short.
HAPPY PART! A little later today I went to my soccer game. We were playing an older team, a couple of the girls being on the high school team that honestly, I'm not too fond of. We beat them. We didn't have the greatest season this year offensively and we totally had a turnaround this game. Playing with: the few girls on my team that were left after that whole WWIII, my teammates that are younger and double roster, and a couple guest players, and only one sub, we pulled it off. It was great. :)

So now, here I am blogging on a friday night. Ya know? Sometimes my parents bug me..not gonna lie. I really hate saying that because I know they do so for me, and I really do love them to death. Oh well. So I think I want to end my sadness right now, and be happy...but how? hmm..how about MANCHESTER UNITED WINNING THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!?? WOO! oh and-

SUMMER IS ALMOST HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh boy I can't wait! Summer means no school! :D (most of us anyway) Also--summer means my b-day...which means 16...which means L-I-C-E-N-S-E!! I'm really excited to just be able to spend a lot more time with everyone this summer! Fun! Oo and travel a few places :D! Anyway, so get through these last 2 days everyone and hope you have a WONDERFUL summer! =)

A Taste of Reality

Ok, so yeah, I know. I know. American Idol is pretty much a lame show to a lot of people, but tonight, the finale, it served as a small lesson to me, and frankly, all of America. It feels like a punch in the gut, because when David Cook, a somewhat sketchy individual/bartender, beat David Archuleta, a positive and uplifting role model for anyone, it shows how much the "way of the world" is influenced in everything anyone does. I don't know about you, but to me, even if Archuleta was completely awful, I'd rather have him "go big" than someone who will turn out like all the rest of America's up-and-coming stars, and become a negative icon. It forces me to come to a realization of what the world continues to challenge us with, and how hard it can be to 'be yourself', whether you're declared a 'winner', or not.


Sorry to be so deep about something so dumb....

Augustana Concert (Ali)

So on Friday night, Morganne and I went to the Augustana concert. It was soooo cool! I love Augustana! We got there (it was at The Avalon), and from the outside it was really creepy. It looked old, beat up, and abandoned. The inside was alright. The stage was tiny and crammed, the seats were benches that were too close together, but I could see the stage so I was ok.
They opened with 3 bands. 3! Boys Like Girls opened with one band and that was torture, I didn't know how I was going to survive this one. The bands were Mesa Drive, David Ford, and Wild Sweet Orange. Mesa Drive and David Ford were good, Wild Sweet Orange..eh so-so. Yeah they played their instruments well, the singer had talent, I just didn't really like their songs. David Ford was AWESOME! First of all, he was from England, and second, HE IS SO TALENTED! I'm pretty sure he plays every instrument there is. He recorded himself playing a piece on the maracas, then the acoustic guitar, then the piano, then the harmonica, then he did some vocals..it sounded like he was humming. Then all of those sounds were playing together, then he started the song. He sang and played the electric guitar while all those other sounds were going. It was so cool! He did that for about 3 of his songs. Although, one of the songs he did that for..I didn't like it at all. The song was basically suicidal. But oh well, he was one talented musician!
Mesa Drive was really good too so you guys should check them out!
K now for the fun part: AUGUSTANA BABY!
That two and a half hour wait through the opening performances was so worth it for this band! Their songs are great! Before I went to their concert I hadn't known too many songs from their new c.d. but after the concert, I was in love with all the songs. I listened to the c.d. three times Saturday morning! Then, a few more times Saturday night :). Anyway, the performance was great. They are really good live. At one point, there were some problems and the lead singer's mic stopped working. He laughed. It just made me smile because he didn't freak out or anything. He was all cool about it! But anyway, it was a great concert and everyone should check out the new c.d. Some great songs that Morganne and I loved were Hey Now, I Still Ain't Over You, Sweet and Low, FIRE :), Meet You There...eh who am i kidding? The whole cd is really great, I might as well list all the songs. After hearing "Fire" though, I was in love with it, so I decided I'm going to put the lyrics. Enjoy :D

No you dont come easy,
No you dont come fast,
Lock me up inside your garden,
Take me to the riverside,

Fire,
Burnin me up
Desire
Takin me so much higher
And leavin me whole

There you were
In your black dress
Movin slow
To your sadness
I could watch you
Dance for hours
I could take you by my side

Fire,
Burnin me up
Desire
Takin me so much higher
And leavin me

Like Fire,
Turning me on
Desire
Takin me so much higher
And leavin me whole.

GREAT song, and you need to have some serious lung capacity to sing that song. On the last "whole", he holds that FOREVER. enjoy their new album!

Today brings tomorrow, which brings the rest of the school year, which brings summer, which brings VACATIONS!!

Hey, so I've(morganne)just been doing a little bit of reflecting on all of the vacations I've taken, with or without my family, and I've noticed that...I really need to get out more, and that I'm so super excited for summer and warm weather, and being carefree and stressless and freedom and more. Anyway, below are some of my favorite pictures from several of my very favorite vacations ever, in no particular order. (Sorry it's so long/there's so many, but we don't get out much, so when we do, it's major-taking-of-pictures)
