a week later and...

so like a week ago i woke up with the world's worst sore throat.

like not even kidding. it was awful .

so like any good little kid would do, i ate a TON of cough drops.

and i mean a TON.

but they did little. :(

so i had to drink that nasty cough syrup. for adults:(

one of the bad things about growing up, cough syrup is DISGUSTING.

it's not longer bubble gum, or grape or even cherry.

it's always nasty flavored. they say it's cherry, but when the heck has anyone tasted a cherry that tastes like plastic?????

but again, that did verrry little:P

during this entire time, i thought it'd be a good idea to take it easy with track and tkd. just for like a week until i could breathe again ya know?

only thing was that we had a meet today. so i had to run at least once.. or not race today. BUT

i don't like not racing.. it's not fun. not right in the track world.

the moment i went back to my ever stopping life, my throat started feeling better.

today after the 3200, it hurt, but when it stopped, it was awesome.

officially, i think my body has an awkward addiction to running.

awesome.

today's meet was okay thought. it was at lehi and there were only 3 schools there. us, lehi, and west lake. it went pretty fast. but since gas is so crazy expensive, i rode the bus up there. only thing was that i didn't race until the last 3 events of the whole meet. but i was there all day.

the order the meet went (well for the last 3 races..) was, the 200, then 3200, then 4x4 relay. guess what my races were... 200, 3200, then 4x4. :P FML

but i didn't have to run the 4x4. the 3200 was SO long. and even though i was sick and ran with un untied shoelace, i did ok. ha next week, i decided that i'm breaking 14. it can't be that hard. i run a 630 mile. so if i keep consistant, i'll be okay:)

the way i loved you....

miss taylor swift has done it again.

sometimes, certain songs just fit PERFECTLY into my life. 

like this song.

hence "I'll be screamin' and fightin'

And kissin' in the rain

It's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name"

BUT it gets better:) ...

Breakin' down and comin' undone
It's a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you...

yeah. i'd call that my life for the past 6 weeks? 

emotional turmoil <3 :) 

catch uppp

dear blog, 

i love you. i really do, i promise. 

it's just that my life has taken a turn for the busy-ness lately. 

i promise never to neglect you as long as i did. 

hmm, lets see. 

well, since i last left you, a few things have happened.. like i took state:)

 first time fighting senior division..  

13-5 :) she was really nice tho. i talked to her afterwards, and her and her mom were really  sweet:) i think her name's like mckayla dahl or somethin..

11-0. this was my championship fight. she had werido contacts in.. and it totally freaked. me out. regardless , i made her hyperventilate after the fight. she was out for like 15 minutes:) if you can't handle the pressure, stay outta the big kid's ring:)

So over all state was awful. i think it actually might have ran even worse then last year. only thing better this year tho, was that it was close enough to costa vida:) yay for costa!:) 

BUT 

the dumb brats totally didn't  print my name on the tee shirt.

thanks jerks. 

i only took titles for the past 3 years. 

i was gonna buy one, NOT. 

the utah state taekwondo association is a complete joke. 

just saying. 

BUT moving on. 

primary elections for student council are done and over with. that means we are one step closer for REP ELECTIONS!!!

yay for student council!:) 

umm track season has officially started. and officially is kicking my butt. at the timp meet i ran the mile, 400 and the 4x4 relay. yeah. i was there ALL day. and the weather progressively got worse and worse. by the end of the day, it was raining like notebook status. yeah. and i got to race in it:) dfhjkla:) be jealous. 

this is us.. hiding from the rain. when we should've been practicing our hand offs..:) oh well. we still did awesome. goo bruins:) 

hmmm... lets see.. OH! the boyfriend and i have been a thing for almost 6 weeks. can you say longest relationship i've ever been in? yeah. i can. love it tho:) 

umm... the young woman's general broadcast was tonight. and it was way good:) 

yay for being a laurel:) 

love these girls. they are so cute:) 

uhmm... i dunno. i'm forgetting something i know... but i'm sick and gross so i think it's forgivable.

OHH! patriarchal blessing. tomorrow. 11:30. i'll be there:) butterflies butterflies... kinda nervous. ha 

OOHH! again. i got feathers in my hair:) 

awful picture. yes. i know. but i'm sick. soo.. don't judge. 

DAY 10: something you're proud of in the past few days...

well.. 

taking state. again. ha. i really hate to loose. i dunno. it doesn't fly with me. especially not with taekwowndo. i've almost given my entire life over to it, it's nice to know that with all odds against me, i can pull through yet again, and take the title:) 

i've come to grow a lot through this sport. and i simply love it. 

san diego...

this is me. 

blogging from my room.. 

and not from my itouch in san diego:(

my entire team right this very second. fighting for a spot at nationals in san juan this summer.. 

I SHOULD BE THERE. 

but sadly, i'm here. and will just have to fight for my spot at nationals at state, next week:) 

i hate not being in the action of it all. 

looking at pictures and seeing the venue, and the badges and the everything else 

make me re-realize how much i miss  it!!! 

i love competing and hate sitting here... :P 

oh well.

state. here i come:)  

Day 9: short term goals for the month and why

lets see... goal one: take state again. 

just cause i need to. because i'm awesome. and defending like 3 titles. that's why

goal 2: PR at least once at track.

just cause, it'd be fun to start off the season on a good note. 

ummm...goal 3: 4.0!!!!! i need to balance out my laziness from the previous terms:P 

who are you??!

so at school, we have student council stuff comin up. 

and there's this one spot, multi-cultural rep, that i REALLY want. 

like really really. 

and i think i'd be good at it too.. i mean i'm brown:) and i know a lot of people, and i'm involved with a lot of stuff. 

like track, cross country, LIA, AAC, honors and AP classes

like i kinda think i'd be good at it. just cause i think i could fit in with the kids who are running for next year. 

but, of course, there is ALWAYS someone who has to bite my moment. always. 

i mean that's they way things roll right? 

it wouldn't be student government (emphasis on the GOVERNMENT part. sheesh.. politics) without some trash talking. 

so my one friend who's running for SB artist, (well, i'm friends with both girls running. but that's not the point)

my one friend, yes. well she rides the bus with this other one kid, who shall remain nameless for the time being, he and his friend were gonna run against me, 

but he bailed. and decided that he was gonna run for SB VP. 

good luck bud.

anyways, he was talking to my one friend on the bus and was a total jerk. he went up to her and told her she wasn't gonna win. that she should give up pretty much. 

can you say RUDE????

can you say WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???

yes, indeedly, i can say all that. and if i would've been there, i prolly would have. 

but maybe if i was feeling really daring. 

otherwise i would have thought it. 

but after he was so rude to my friend, he then proceeded into something like 

not friend- "you know who i feel really bad for" 

friend- "...no. who?..."

not friend kid- "Ali Sanchez."

friend- "why?"

not friend kid- "because the other girl running has like 99 percent chance that she's gonna be it. i mean she's  been in multicultural club since like sophomore year..."

WOW. 

like really? WHO ARE YOU??

pretty sure if you needed to voice something like that out there, you have issues. and clearly, you need to get over yourself. just saying. 

but i cannot wait till rep elections roll around. i'm gonna rock it. 

and it all seems to be working out perfectly. 

it gives me enough time to help nurse my college prep grade to health again:) 

yay. 

oh i already love student council. 

OH YEAH. before i forget, 

day 8: a picture of something/ someone that has the biggest impact on you. 

yes. i realize how sick this picture is. but i don't care. simply, because it's the reality of a distance runner's life. 

bagels. bananas. and short shorts. 

yep. that's us.

running has made such a huge impact on my life. like without it, i'd be fat. and not very attractive ;) 

haahah joke! totally a joke. 

but it's gotten to the point where it hurts to not go running. like i feel sick if i don't go. and even sometimes taco bell smells disgusting and it upsets me.

and even though my feet are obviously not liking it, 

i love it. i don't wanna stop. 

despite falling arches. :P

i love running. 

gotta love life sometimes:)

okay, so at school there is SO much going on!!!

first off, 

the term is almost over. and i have a few grades that need some lovin. 

but seriously, its's only a few

like 2. and one of them isn't even that big of a deal. 

but there's that 

and then there's student council stuff!!!!:) 

multi cultural rep say whaaaat??:) 

yeah, granted there are like two other kids running, 

but who cares! 

i want it. and heck. it's gonna be me. 

just watch. 

oh yea!! there's track season that's startin up:)

and then, 

i'm getting painted.

yes, painted. 

i have only the most artistic friends ever, and they wanted to paint people, and i wanna be painted so, it all works:) 

yea yea. so right now i have a killer headache. i'm guessing it's because i never ever learned to do my break falls just right, so today, at practice when we were doing throws, i was the rag doll of the day. yay. 

good thing i fell awkwardly. a lot. a lot. like i mean A LOT.

but today, i gotta see jake:) 

and the weird thing about our whole little thing is, 

we don't really needa do anything to have fun.. 

we just kinda hang out and it's fun:) 

like today. 

we went over to timp, while he was doing art stuff, and we all just hung out. 

we being, me. twins. jake. and eventually dac and raul joined. 

that was a little weird. considering that i'm not friends with raul.. 

but whatever. it was still fun.. 

:)

day 7: a picture of your favorite super hero. 

with this one, i can go two ways. and i think i'm going to go both:) 

superhero number one: 

my mommy:) 

she is such a champ. without this woman, 

i'd prolly be on drugs and fat. 

ew. 

i love her dearly:) 

superhero number one: 

bruce wayne. batman. 

i.

love.

you.

afhjklfghlajk:) 

rain rain come and stay

so for the past few days, I have been lovin life:)
simply because it's been constantly raining. for utah,i like to think of this as epic
times ten:) there's just something about the rain that makes my insides smile.
its almost like a clensing feeling.
RUNNING in the rain. AHHHH. Nothing tops that. Well, maybe a notebook kiss. personally, I blame the notebook for the perfect rain kiss scene. becuse now, I have the craziest desire for a kiss like that. And it does NOT rain like that here. OH! I know! Bucket list. Road trip to Oregon with the perfect boy, cause let's be honest, you don't use the notebook kiss with just anyone, and get the kiss, and come back:)! Cause in
utah, we're lucky with a sprinkle but eventually, it turns into snow. Pfffffffffff. I guess there is nothing truley like oregon rain. There, my friends, you can get the perfect notebook kiss. If not in Oregon, I have lost all hope that it's even possible.
BUT!!!! Back to rain runs.

Wonderful. Super duper. Wet. Relaxing. Awesome. Cleansing? Yes. Clensing.
I love it. It's like almost an outer body experience. Runner's high, and rain. And a team of the best girls ever. Best run everrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

day 6: your favorite book.
Well, there is a few. But I think that it ties with Harry potter, and as molly Mormon as it sounds, the scriptures. They've always offered comfort when everything else fails. Yeah. True story.

the challenge continues

day 5: a place where you've been to 

hello newport beach:) 

i love you dearly.

home sweet home :)

beach bumm say whaaat? :)

born in california.
raised in utah.
13 years later, the cold and i are still not friends.

you know you're old when....

you know you're old when...

you're expected to know how to fill up your tank,

you're expected to scrape your windows when they're COVERED in frost, 

even though mom's home, you have to make breakfast,

you're expected to know how to work car washes,

you're expected to carpool small loads of 11 year old girls, 

fridays mean "catch up on sleep day", 

you realize how expensive gas is!!!!!!!, 

you have mental break downs in the middle of the week and end up at the lake almost crying, 

you realize that sleep isn't a must. as long as the homework is done.. right? 

you. you. YOU.

growing up simply sucks. 

you have to deal with a lot more then the kid next to you taking your blue crayon without asking. 

reality isn't so harsh when your mommy and daddy take care of it, 

if you screw up, you bounce back right then. i mean no one can resist an adorable smile and "i'm sorry!!" 

when you're older, you have to throw in a few tears.

yet, 

you know you have't grown up when....

you have the best time at discovery park with random assortments of people, 

chasing ducks at Nielson's grove is the highlight of your day, 

coloring with crayons is simply relaxing, 

playing in the rain makes you love life, 

kisses, hugs, "i love you"s make everything better, 

yellow car is the most intense game ever, 

 princess band aids fix anything no matter what

:)

ahhhh.. i love being little sometimes. 

i mean fixing a scraped knee is 35430513 times easier then a broken heart. 

true story.

it's nice to know that some days, no matter what, no matter how old we get, we never really grow up. 

i'm 17, and sometimes its terrifying to talk to the cute kid sitting next to me.

luckily, he talked to me:) 

 but no matter how old i get, 

princess band aids will always make everything that much better:), 

a hug from my mommy fixes almost everything, 

and, yellow car will never be topped.  

:)

day 4: a habit you wish you didn't have.

biting my nails. 

yes, i am aware of how DISGUSTING this is, 

but i can't stop :/ 

when i get nervous, i bite:P 

i. hate. tuesdays.

yet, another tuesday...

and still. i do not like them. 

at all. 

they just ruin my mood from the moment i wake up and realize that it's tuesday.

but this tuesday, marks 3 weeks:) or going on 3 weeks:) 

yay:) 

he's simply awesome. 

yes. true story. 

:) 

best. three. weeks. so. far. <3

BUT 

day three: a picture of you and your friends

with girls like these, life is pretty much awesome:) 

no clue where i'd be without them

and there are tons of people i don't have pictures of, but still:)
