Life has been so busy these past few weeks. But it has been a good busy so it is ok. =D
School has been moving really, really fast now that I have been able to go, and I am actually starting to enjoy it alot. Im hoping it stays like this to. Then my best friend told me that she is coming back to school next semester so im really excited about that! It will be nice to have her there again.
Then i got a awesome new job working at A&R case management. I get to work with kids with disabilities and im really excited. I hope im good at it. I have had to go to CPR training so far and i learned alot. Its a really scary situation, and i don't know how well i would do under pressure. Im sure i would do fine with all the adrinaline and stuff, but as of rite now it just freaks me out. I officially start tomorrow though and im really nervous but excited. I think im more nervous to meet my kid and get to know him. Hopefully i can help him with everything that he needs to be helped with and be a awesome worker. =D
Powerlifting has been going ok. With me being really sick the last month it really hurt me lifting wise. Im defiantly not as strong as i used to be and it is really frustrating cause i had some big goals for our next meet in november. But i guess i will just have to wait tell the meet after that to hit the things i want to hit. I guess im just having a really hard time realizing that I was sick for a long time and this is going to happen to me. These past few weeks i have been doing really heavy stuff and it is just really hard. It was stuff i was doing easily for sets of 5 and i can barely do it for 3. Im just ready to get back into a good training schedule and get back to where i was when i went to worlds. All i got to say is being sick sucks and i hate it. It really ruins everything.

Powerlifting
So i really didnt know what I wanted to talk about in this blog, but Kyrsten just gave me a great idea, so here we go! =D
Alright so I haven't exactly explained to you guys what powerlifting is yet and its one of the main focuses of my blog. Powerliftin is a three even sport. Squat, Bench and deadlift. Squat is well a squat haha. But in this squat you have to go past parrelel(?), so for a better image your hips are below your knees. Squat is my best lift out of all three. Its the one I hold every record possible in. =D Bench is the simple bench everyone knows. Then dead lift is just when you pick the bar off the ground.
In each lift we were special equipment. For squats we were a squat suit, wrist wraps, knee wraps, and specialized squat shoes. For bench a bench shirt, a singlet and wrist wraps. Then for deadlift we can either were are squat suits backwords or a deadlift suit, then also very flat bottomed shoes, I wear converse. Now you ask what the suits are good for? Just imagine a spring. The suits are like a spring. They are very tight and when we go down they help push us back up. They are very nice and even though they are very painful they help alot. Oh I almost forgot the most important part of equipment, the belt! haha We were belts on everylift to keep our back safe. =D
Now how to you get to compete in a world competition? There are different levels in powerlifting just as in every other sport. First you compete in a qualifing meet. This is were you go and try and qualify for a national meet. All you must do is make a certian total and you get on the team. Its pretty simple. Then nationals is were it gets fun. Nationals meets are huge and there are tons of kids. This is were you go to try and get on the worlds team. The way you do this is by having the best total out of you weight class, so pretty much you have to win. And the way the total works is you add up your best lifts of all three lifts. If you do end up winning you get the spot on the team then it is your choice on whether you want to go or not.
Powerlifting isn't the funnest sport to watch but it is really exilirating. I love the rush i get when I am competing in compititions. It is my favortite feeling. The crowd cheering for you as you fight you get the weight up. Not only is your team cheering for you but you also have everyone else. In powerliftin we all cheer for each other and help each other out. =D
Hopefully this helps you out a little bit on what powerlifting is about. =D

random =D
Im kind of tired of writing about how frustrating my life is so im going to try and make this one happy. =D
So im pretty much stoked for these next couple weeks! hopefully they will go alot better than this week has gone. I get to go support my high school marching band at like three competitions. I love these kids and im so excited for them this year! They went to reno last weekend and took first in their division and 3rd overall, which is amazing cause this competition is really hard! They have been working so hard they deserve it. I do miss marching band though and when I go and watch their practices to help them I want to be out on the field marching with them. Is that weird? haha. I guess I can say I really miss highschool, well more the activities I did in high school. I hated the enviroment.
Im pretty stoked to go to Haunted World next week too. Me and my friends haven't been since our sophmore year. We tell each other every year that we are going to go but it just never happens. Now we are actually going and im super excited! Hopefully it goes well. Im the biggest fraidy cat though.=P One year we went and they had a snake pit and I started crying I was so afraid to go in there. It was no good. Everyone just laughed at me.
School is finally going good to. Its still kind of stressful, but its getting better. Im finally getting caught up on all my homework which is really nice. I only have to do 3 make up labs and I will be caught up. A huge stress reliever lifted off my back. Then my friend just told me she was going to come back to school next semester. I haven't really enjoyed this semester cause im not the best with making new friends. I pretty much just go to school then go straight home. So im really happy she is coming back. Plus my drives will be alot better having her there to talk to. =D

The past week.
This past week has officially been the worst so far. I finally was starting to feel better and I actually wanted to go to school. On Monday I wasn't feeling so well so I didn't go to class. Then Tuesday I only had spanish so I went and learned nothing. That class is frustrating some times cause it is so simple. Then that night me and my best friends went to Columbia to go watch the marching bands practice. At the very end we were walking out to my car and they just started yelling at me, I literally felt like I was getting attacked. Apparently I haven't been doing anything rite these past two months and they had alot of things to say to me, but I had alot to say to them to. It was the worst fight we had ever gotten in. I live with one of them and I didn't even want to stay in the same room as her so I left and went to my other friends house for the night, but boy did them put up a fight. They stayed in my car and when I got back in yelled at me some more. It was one of the most frustrating things ever. =/
That night I got only 3 hours of sleep cause I was so upset and was just tossing and turning so i didn't make it to history. As the day went on I started feeling worse and worse. I had a feeling something was up, so I just stayed in bed.
Thursday I was really ready to go back to school so I set my alarm so could get up in the morning, but i slept through it and woke up with there only being 30 minutes to get to class. There was no way I was going to make it. I live in nampa so it just takes me 30 minutes to get to boise, then by the time i find a parking spot and get across campus its another 20 minutes. I was so frustrated. I had a lab that day so I just planned on going to that since I missed class. I got ready and headed to school. When I got to the lab they were gone. It was a field trip that day and I guess I was a couple minutes late and they had left. I was really frustrated now, I just turned rite back around and went home. Then during spanish I checked what I had gotten on my test and I didn't do so well cause I had been gone for so long. I sat and talked with my teacher and he told me that he would help me get my stuff done that I had missed. This day just wasn't getting any better.
Friday my alarm didn't even go off. I was officially sick of this. I had a test to take so I had to go over to the campus either way so I got up and got ready and headed to school. I went and took my test and bombed it. I just didn't care anymore, I knew I wasn't going to do good on it just cause I had been gone so long.
This week just sucked. Im getting sick again, and I feel like im never going to get caught back up with school. Hopefully next week will be alot better, cause I dont' know if I could take another week like this again.
