OH MY GOSH. I haven't blogged in SO long!
I've been really really busy, and I really miss doing this, but hey, life goes on.
Speech has been going really well! I've been placing consistently, and am OFFICIALLY a member of the National Forensics League as of January! Yes...you read that right...i'm a member of the NFL. hahaha :)
I got the scholarship at Concordia Moorhead and am ecstatic about it! I have my audition at Olaf Friday and am superrrrrrr nervous!
But I'll blog sometime soon, I'm really tired and plan on taking a nap ;)
Much love,
Annie

hey hey :)
i've been super super SUPER busy! it's ridiculous. and then in the process, I ended up getting super sick and right now, i can barely talk.
but in the process, I took fifth place in informative finals and 4th place in poetry honor finals at speech yesterday! so now my voice is COMPLETELY shot. but it's okay, cause it was worth it :)
Now I have two days off of school and I plan on spending it at work tomorrow and then from there, with people who matter most :)
I got tickets to go see Mayer Hawthorne in May, so that's exciting too!
I slept until 2 pm today...that was exciting...ahahaha oh my god I'm just RAMBLING.
Anyways, I'll post either tomorrow or the day after with more updates from the last couple of weeks!
Much love,

Best. Weekend. Ever.
Seriously, I couldn't be happier right now. :)
Friday night was the Woodbury/East Ridge basketball game, and it was seriously one of the highlights of my senior year! We ended up beating Woodbury by one point, and it was AMAZING. I know all the Woodbury kids are bitter about it, but hey, it's just a game!
When I got home from the game, I baked a red velvet cake for the speech meet, in celebration of my coach and my previous English teacher are having a BABY! We are all just so excited for them, so I figured that it would be fitting to make a cake! Except I was up until midnight making it and had to wake up at 4:45 on Saturday morning...
Then Saturday...well Saturday was awesome. We had the speech meet at Apple Valley, which was the toughest meet we go to through the season. I ended up making finals and placed 7th out of 8 finalists for informative. Yes, I know what you're thinking...7th? That kinda sucks, doesn't it? NO. NOT ONE BIT. Because I was up against some really great competition and my regular round scores were awesome, one of which included a perfect score of a 1100! (1st place, 100 points) So it was a really wonderful day. Then some of us went to Applebee's and then a friend's house. So all in all, I ran on four hours of sleep on Saturday and ended up having a super long day.
Then today...today was wonderful. We had rehearsal for our SEC band with a director from Luther and he was SO fun to work with. To me, it's so great to be able to come together with a group of kids my age who all are there for the same reason: to make wonderful music. Oh, and it also kind of helps that I got asked to prom today at rehearsal..... :)
Alright, well, I should probably get ready for bed, since I have a 14 hour day of music making ahead of me tomorrow at SEC! I'll post after tomorrow :)
Much love,
Annie
