Almost FIFTEEN!

We had a four day weekend this week, and I only have to go on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, I'm going to South Carolina to see my sister (: She's graduating from Basic, and then she leaves for TEXAS. Wow. But that should be alot of fun, and I hope H can go, or else I'm going to be sooo bored. Seriously. P is going to, that should be interesting. I wanna go to the zoo down there, but my mom doesn't think we'll have time!
I think I want to start going to church. There's a church up near our house, and I'm trying to not only encourage myself, but encourage my parents to go, too. It's a pretty big step for us... I don't think my parents have been to church since I've been alive! It's just a big part of a life change I'm working on (:
I also want to take like a day long ski trip with my family over Christmas break. I think that would be sooo fun. I'm not sure my parents would go for it, though. If my sister comes home for Christmas, it might be fun if just us two go up for the day. I don't think my brother is coming home for Christmas this year ): He'll be home SOON for Thanksgiving though! I'm so excited. My mom said J could come eat with us, too.
Our one year is coming up soon! This Sunday! That's really exciting, I'm more than happy with that boy!
In other news... aka Volleyball: I'M NOT LIBERO. UGH. That really pisses me off. She told me I would be Libero, but NO I'm freaking OH/DS. There are only like 4 freaking OH, and I HATE playing front row ): I want to play backrow, specifically in a different colored jersey. Oh, well, life goes on. I'm all committed to this team now. I'm not doing it next year, that's for sure. I'm going to do a more challenging national team.
I'm really worried about getting behind on my schoolwork. I already most likely failed a Geometry test Thursday from not being there Monday OR Tuesday. And now, I'm missing two days this week! I'm getting all my make up work for all my classes, but I'm still worried about not knowing what's going on. :/ Ah, stress.
I'm so excited for Holidays! Thanksgiving, Christmas, My birthday! You should see my list, it's kinda long :P I just love the wintertime, and Christmas and being home.. Family, food. EVERYTHING. This year is going to be so great too! And then NEW YEARS. Wonder what I'm going to do for that..? Well, when the time comes we'll deff know...
more later!

Homecoming.

Last night was Homecoming, and it was crazy! Ebonee, a senior, won. I'm glad she did though, she's prez of student council. I hung out with a bunch of people I don't usually hang out with, other than J. Ha, S was acting like an idiot, as usual. She's so hilarious. H & K, the freshman reps, looked SO pretty. I loved H's dress. I think I want to do Homecoming Court next year, maybe?
Today, I'm going shopping and then my parents are MAKING me stay with them at some stupid people's house I don't even know, or hardly know at all. Which is stupid. I have no idea where they live. J's mom does though I guess... My mom called her earlier. I'm sooo ready for Christmas! It's going to be very exciting (: But my birthday comes before that and I get my permit, whoot!
Last night I went to a haunted house with Sierra and Becca. EVERYONE was there. The line was a two hour wait, but it didn't feel like that long. We met M, J, K, and C up there, thank goodness, because I didn't want to go in with just us girls... hahha. C aka T was like "YO, ya'll come get Ashley" I was freaked, but it was SO funny. My voice was gone from talking so much.
Ehhh, I'm sick :/ and it sucks because I don't wanna slow down long enough to get rest. Everything hurts. But I'm about to leave, more later.

Reform.

Basically, this weekend was a LITTLE crazy... WOW. I'm kind of glad it's over though, because I'm just ready to settle back into the normalness that I love. I just enjoy schedules. I hate having everything organized and planned out... And this weekend has been anything but.
I am SO stressed out. I don't even know why. My parents were yelling at me for getting home too late last night, and for having my friends over, blah blah blah. I'm supposed to be studying for Biology midterms, but screw that. I don't know what has gotten into me... I'm just a slacker. I've never had to study before, and I don't really wanna start now. I guess I'll have to though.
I'm just tired of being stressed. I'm tired of waking up early. I'm tired of... everything. I want to reform. I just don't know how. I'm just a crazy mess. I hate it.
I'm ready for CHRISTMAS. OR SUMMER. Or a long break. I'm ready to get out of high school... Just ready to be done with everything. I have awhile to wait for all of the above.
I guess I'll just have to keep struggling through my life. I'll figure it all out eventually. I'm not even sure why I'm so stressed. I guess I just let little things get to me lately... I'll pull through it. Follow the plan.
Ashley's Reform Plan
1. Don't let little things get to you. Smile!
2. Offer to help around the house, do some chores.
3. Stay organized, plan ahead.
4. STUDY. Homework comes first.
5. Talk on the phone less. Good luck with that one...
6. Try to get as much sleep as possible.
7. Don't worry about the future right now.
8. Have fun. Try to have time to relax and be with yourself, too.
Moving on. I ate ALOT of junk this weekend. That's not good. I had like 5,000 starbursts, chips, cake, candy, the list goes on. I'm gonna gain alot of weight if I don't slow down. Especially with volleyball and stuff coming up. I plan on going running after school and stuff, and doing some conditioning to my legs, abs, and arms. I also want to cut out some of the junk food, and try to healthier. Easier said than done!

YAY!

Life is more than amazing. I'm loving every second of it!
I'm making alot more friends, and hanging out with a bunch of people. Last night, we went to a volleyball game with some of the other freshman volleyball girls and Kristen. Ha, they have out free crocs! We went out to eat, too. Some random girl in the bathroom took a picture of all of us. That was funny. One of those old changed friends wants to spend the night with me tonight... Only because she has nothing to do. HOW NICE! I don't think I'm going to let her stay. People like that just piss me off. But I think that Mika and Becca are staying the night. We might go see a movie, and Kaitlyn might go, too.
High school is getting better. I'm SOOOO ready for traveling season to start! Tryouts should be soon. I'm happy that I get to play libero. It's only the position I wanted ALL season. I get to play a little outside hitter too. Ha-ha! I'm ready for all the tournaments and everything, too. I think I'm playing a national team next year, so I'll be able to travel alot more out of state. My parents are looking for me to get a college scholarship... Good luck with that one, Ashley. I think the national team would be fun, though.
Anyways, tonight, AHHH, I'm so excited! We're going to a pigpickin for all the volleyball girls. Then, Sara is driving me, and a bunch of the other juniors + freshman are going to a haunted house. I'm meeting M & B there, and then they're going to spend the night.
I'm ready for Christmas. Random, I know.
Sorry there's not much drama to right about.
OH WAIT, I forgot all about C. She says "I'm only using her for a ride!" Umm, bull. Sorry, that you never ask me to hang out so we never do anything. She's a bitch anyways. And she's going to end up pregnant. Blah.
But that's about it, and I'm not even worried about it so much. Write more later (:

Boring Sundays.

So, it's Sunday. Sundays for me are ALWAYS boring. I don't go to church (I know that I should), and all I usually have to do is sleep late and homework. And when I sleep late, I don't want to go to sleep that night, so I'm super tired on Monday mornings. Maybe that's why everyone hates Mondays?

Anyways. So last night was alot of fun. I went to the first round of playoffs for the Varsity volleyball team. We won! But it was close. It's going to be very tough to make it to states. I still have to be at practice on Monday though... Whoop.

My mom hasn't been home all week, and it's been surprisingly peaceful. She comes home tonight though. It's gonna be a long week. We have a four day week next week and I'm SO ready for that. And Halloween is that Friday! No parties I've heard of... yet. I probably won't even go to one though. I'm not big on partying. I guess that will be good when I get to college... not!

I have nothing more to write.. So I guess I'll write more later or something.
