hey guys! i must be honest and say i totally feel like im back in 8th grade using my xanga right now, but it does feel good! as ive posted in blogs from along time ago, everyones moved from xanga to myspace to facebook. i find myself on facebook the most because although myspace is alot more 'personalized' its also really disorganized as well as it is totally filled with ads. Let me give you an update from where i pretty much last left off (almost 2 years ago ) After freshmen year i was really excited. I had never felt moredepressed and unhappy than my freshmen year of high school. And not for the reasons you might thing. (the whole being a fish thing was not it). I had just got out from MRJH. Literally junior high are as of now the best years of my life. I got to spend great times with some of my best friends, and ya'll know who you are for sure. It was one thing going back to your'old' school. But its another to go there alone. As alot of my friends actually moved to stay at Morton Ranch, or they moved. Also my mp3 player got stolen, i got hit in the head with a water bottle from the top of the stairs and for the first time i ever i came remotely close to failing a class.But i dont like pity im just settin up the scene hehe. I was really excited because i had joined XC (Cross-Country) I remember in 9th grade i had alot of XC friends and the sport and the people just appealed to me. So i was really excited to join. I went for the first day of practice and id a 3 mile tempo run. i totally got that 'runners high'. I loved it! Though when i got picked up i was given a choice. I am really involed in Church and Guitar and at that point Girl Scouts as well as Hardcore Babysitting. Not to mention my first sport TKD. With all the time you must devote to XC it was either TKD or XC (any more acronyms?lol) and it was hard because while i loved the new experience with XC and the confidence i got from being able to be in a school sport, TKD is something that has always been aprt of my life. I love it. The feeling of spending hours and horus a week training and running and learning to finally be able to bow and get in that ring is like no other feelling. Sparring is just something thats not for everyone . And i love it. So i obviously couldnt quit that! Are you kidding me? Summer beofre Sophmore year.My dad got in a TERRIBLE car accident. though he managed to get away with only a few scrapes . It has been a blessing that he was safe. I thank God for that. His car flipped 3-4 times went threw a fence and hit a tree! The town Sherriff when he inspected the scene was preparing for a death. Thats how serious it was. He told my dad God was looking out for him because he said he was lookin at a miracle.That was a very emotional summer for me. I think i grew up a little faster in those 2 months.I had finally had to come to terms with the fact that life is short,unexpected,dangerous and never fair.I also had to come to terms with the fact that i have to accept that i am now a mayde creeker, and that to make the best of it. I look back on Sophmore year and dub it "my re-building year" . i had to re-evaluate myself,my relatinship with my Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, and the pain of being given ultimatums of things you must do. Junior Year. Was pretty fun. I started running again during junior year. i realized that although i cannot be aprt of Cross-Country, i still can run. Theres many a park and miles of streets to take on. And thats exactly what i did! When i first started running for serious i could barely "jog" 2 miels straight without stopping. taking nearly 20 minutes! now i can RUN a 5k in 24 ! its great. The feeling of waking up some morning and not being able to find the strength to get out of bed, let alone get out the door and run and then running that 4 or 5 mile run and feeling great the rest of the day knowing that i did. Its a very free feeling. You can see your progress and make goals, reach them and feel good about your self. its that Runner's High that people just dont understand unless there a runner themselves!Although i dont tackle anything too serious right now, often putting in only 15-20 miles a week. i know im doing something that i feel great about, and i know im in that small percentage of society that finds running actually "enjoyable".I also became an Aunt to Anastasia Lynn Thurman. My sisters daughter Senior Year.Time to plans into action! Its realy fun so far.Maybe it comes as a right when your a senior. You can get away with quiet alot!! haha jk. But my grades junior and senior year have been extraordinary. so hopefully colleges see that. I am applying to Texas A&M Galveston,Sam Houston State, Stephen F.Austin State and Texas A&M Corpus Christi. I REALLLY want to make it into TAMUG. That would be ideal. i would study marine biology. not to necasarily be a Jacque Cousteu but because it will give me the skills necesary to help preserve wilelife and be aprt of a state Parks and Wildlife someday. CLASS of 09!My brother daniel also had a baby girl so im an Aunt again! to Ashlyn Susanah Elaine Thurman! Places i want to visit and possibly live are ALASKA JAX NORWAY Thanks for those who still read. I feel very old writing this you dont even understand.Its like Vertigo haha Peace Out & Rock On ! -Miranda T FACEBOOK MYSPACE.COM/123MIRANDATHATSME |
