My first track meet!!!!!!

Yay! It finally came, MY FIRST TRACK MEET! I was so excited yesterday I wanted to puke! But thankfully I refrained from doing that........ ha ha Ok, but I was still amazingly excited and I have to admit, a bit nervous. My allergies have been acting up lately and today I lost my voice a little because my throat has been hurting too over the past couple days, I'm thinking it was because I cut milk out of my diet...... I know what your thinking OMG MADDIE WITHOUT MILK????!!!!!!!! HOW DID SHE SURVIVE?????? Well I tell you it wasn't easy. It took all my self control not to ask the lunch lady for a white milk (I dislike chocolate milk) and steer clear of the fridge but I did it! So you can see I wasn't in the best conditions to run, with my allergies and throat hurting but I grabbed some cough medicine and went for it. For the meet my events were 75 meter Hurdles, The 400 (for those of you who don't know track terms, one lap around the track) and a 4x1 relay. My first event was hurdles and I was kinda scared by the altidania (or however you spell it) girls because 1. they were all taller than me, and 2. there were 130 of them!!!!(they have 270+ total, we have about 200 total) , that's almost my whole track team!!!!!!!!!! Apparently they're a really tough team to beat, so let me ask one question WHY THE HECK DID WE HAVE TO GO AGAINST THEM MY 1ST MEET???!!!!!!! They totally just crushed my self esteem!!!!!! (ha ha just kidding) So In hurdles I had to start from the starting blocks (that I've never even seen before) and so I felt like I was going to fall, what a great way to start a race????!!!!! Anyways I managed to get out of the blocks (successfully) and began my race. Now my hurdle form is no where near perfect, but being very new to them I'd say I'm pretty good. So I jumped over the first, second, and third hurdles and that's when I realized OH CRAP, I'M GOING TO LOOSE! However I did manage to come in 2nd to last! Yay?? But at least I wasn't last, right?! Ok so after that I got some cool down time and watched my friend Abbie do her 100 race and Kelly do high jump, which was really cool to see, and made me realize how talented my friends really are! Ha ha ha ha ha! But then it was time for Relays, yet another event I'm no good at. :) My team was me (I started) my friend Maddi, and two eighth graders named Emma and Jenna. Well In this race I also had to start from blocks, Ha ha I hate those things......... Ok so I started off great in the race, I had my arms pumping, my legs um.......moving.........ok I should just say I'm sprinting. Ok so I get down to the hand off place and there's someone who's NOT MADDI IN MY LANE! It was a girl named Teryn, who is from aprende but not from my relay team! So I was All confused and after about 7 seconds of standing around asking why she was there I just gave her the stick and let her run. In other words we lost. It turns out, they switched my team last second and didn't even tell me, GEE THANKS! I can't even tell you how mad I was! So my first relay race was an EPIC FAILURE! And my 400 race was no better! OK can I say one thing...... I HATE 400's! I honestly have no idea how to pace my self. Don't know if I should sprint half or run half, for all I know I should've had an ice cream sandwich in my mouth! I started from the blocks, again.....Sigh, looks like I'm going to be seeing those blocks a lot............. So I was in my blocks and feeling confident, I hear the On your mark, from my coach Cynthia, SET, and I raise my self up, and seconds go by and NO GUN! Apparently the gun wouldn't fire, and so i set my self down (because crouching like that is incredibly uncomfortable!) and what do you know THE GUN FIRES! I was kinda behind so I started sprinting and by the time I was halfway around the track, I wanted to die. I wanted to just fall over and die. But of course, I have to be smart and keep running! I started to slow down and then I heard foot steps behind me and thought OH NO! THERE'S NO WAY YOUR GONNA WIN! I was NOT going to finish last! NO WAY! So all of a sudden I found some energy and tried my hardest to finish and I did. Not First place but certainly not last! So I guess you could say I was kinda proud. Anyways I think yall have had enough of me talking so it's picture time!!!!!!! So here are the pictures from my very first track meet!
Me walking over to the hurdles with abbie!

Ok well I'd say my first track meet was a sucess. I learned a lot and I know what to expect now which I think will really help me in my next race! (well, Hopefully) I've got miles to go, but I'm going to have fun getting there!

My Super Fabulous Day........... With Taylor Swift!

OK well this weekend I was awfully bored so I decided to contact my home girl Taylor Swift, she's been wanting to hang out with me for a while and because of my Oh-so busy schedule, we haven't got around to it. So today, with my super cool shiny phone, I called her and asked her to hang out. Taylor totally freaked out, like she was starstruck or something.............. Oh the effect I have on people, it's amazing. Anyways, my personal typist, Finny, hand is cramping up so I guess it's time to show the pictures of my awesome possum day!PEACE,EDWELLA,LOVE,AND SMILEYS =D =) =P =

After going to Mcdonalds, Taylor got a call from the
Jonas Brothers who were bored at an award show and
asked us to hang out! I love my pose, it's so ryan-like of me!

While we were hanging out with the Jonas brothers,
we decided to play truth or dare and so they dared taylor and I
to sing on stage!


Miley wanted to join in the fun too so we all sang Taylor's hit song
"you belong with me " and had such a jolly time!

Well me and Taylor had the bestest day ever, like her song THE BEST DAY! Well as you can see, Finnys typing is lacking her normal pzazz so I guess it's time to go............

A field trip, what fun!

Ello bloggers, welcome to the only blog that reduces cholesterol, and keeps kitties litter box smelling fresh all day! OK well this past Friday my "pod" went on a field trip to the Arizona living history museum, and had an absolute blast! The bus ride was about an hour away from my school, so the teachers let us bring our ipods and cell phones, which i thought was awesome until I got to school and realized that I'd forgotten my phone at school! So while everyone on the bus texted I listened to my ipod, and sang along to every Miley Cyrus song on my ipod!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha Who needs a cell phone when you can annoy people by singing Hannah Montana songs????!!!!!!!!! Well anyway, once we got there we all hoppeing the socd off the bus and got into our groups, mine of which consisted of people i didn't know, but beial butterfly I am, I made it work. One of my group members was also crippled from jumping off a wall, and because our field trip required lots of walking they got her a wheelchair for the day. It took us longer to see things but I still had a lot of fun. I even pushed Jessica (the cripple) around, until i almost pushed her into a cactus, on accident of course (or was it ha ha). Anyways, here are some of the pictures I took!


Jessica (the cripple) and Caitlyn!

My friend Rachel!

Abbie on her phone, ha I love that kid!

Caitlyn and I, again!

The bakery, that had a haberdashery, a place that
sells men's buttons, shoes, and belts!(we laughed so hard because
on Icarly, Nevel wanted to open a haberdashery, but we never thought that
was a real thing until now!)

The bakery, that people told us we could get food
at but, once we arrived, saw they were lying to us!
It was just a boring building!

Ha ha I love this sign........


My group on the trail.

A dance and Batmitvah, no wonder I'm so tired!

Hey Blogers or blog readers! Well this past weekand I was super busy (like a diligent bee)(ha ha diligent is my vocab word, i should show this to my teacher for extra credit!) So Friday night was the dance, which was pretty much stunk because my 2 of the 3 best friends weren't there, so all I had was my bestest buddie lelly naumann to dance with and some of my other friends (ryan, jackson, rachel, maggie, ect.) Then early saturday morning I went to my friend Hannah's Batmitzvah, with my friends Alicia, Jade and Abbie. The service in the morning was pretty long, (in other words I would have rather been sleeping) But It was still pretty cool to see hannah say her speech and read in hebrew. Then after the service there was a party at one of my favorite restraunts C-Fu Gormet! And that was pretty cool, anyways here are some of the pictures I took! PEACE,EDWELLA,LOVE,AND SMILEYS =D =) =P =l
