Speech

So I joined the speech team this year. I am in the Humorous category, i chose this one because i was told you have to be insane to be in humorous so i decided i would be a perfect fit. :) well my speech is called "Men are Stupid and I Rock" by Laurie Notaro. it is very funny. the main character is stood up on a date and she seeks revenge. My first speech meet went pretty well I was pretty happy with my results i got a 5 94% a 3 94% and a 3 95%. In speech language this means i was ranked 5th (or sixth) for my first round and 3rd for my second and third round. the percentage mark is how well you did the scale goes from 90-100 100% means you were excellent, the percentages are also used as tie breakers (nobody in your room has the same percentage). So for my first speech meet (ever) i was extremely pleased with my results. then yesterday i went to my second speech meet. this time i was memorized. and was very excited to perform. after my three rounds i was very confident that i came out on top, either getting a 1 or a 2 on the first two. the third round i guessed i had gotten a 2 or a 3. then we waited for the list of people going to finals. they put up several categories before mine and i was becoming increasingly more impatient. then (of course!) when they were putting up the humorous list they couldn't get it to go on right!!! so then when they finally let it drop i was kneeling on a stool trying so hard to see, i could only see the title of the category, and then i saw a tall member of my team throw his hand up in the air and scream "YES SARAH!" and then i knew i was in! yay! in finals i did not do as well as before, and my competition was AMAZING. So I walked home with a 6th place ribbon. out of 30 some people I think that ribbon will be framed. :) my scores from that meet were. 1 99% 1 97% and 3 98% (the 3 was because the first and second place speakers were in that room). and my scores from finals were straight 5s (which i deserved). so all in all a wonderful speech meet :D

welcome back?

Well here it is February and my last post was in August. today was valentines day. at first i didn't know what to think about today, was i happy i was alone or sad? who knows! i went to school with an open mind... and puffy chipmunk cheeks. i got my wisdom teeth pulled Friday. but other than that i was positive about school. i walked in and just kinda went with the flow. then after school i hung out with my best friend Becca it is always nice to see her :)and we talked about normal stuff, friend drama and food haha. and then i went to another friend's house for a single ladies night. now THAT was funny, we watched the movie "how to lose a guy in 10 days" we were laughing the entire movie, not only because it is a funny movie but because the girl NEVER WORE A BRA. EVER. she was nipping out half the movie, i mean GROSS no need to see that. but of course because it was a girls night nobody even had no mention it most of the time you just heard outbursts of "sick" "ew" and "not again!" we pigged out and had a ton of fun. and throughout some of this i was remembering last year, back when i was "in a relationship" i did not spend my valentines day with my boyfriend. nope! i spent it sunbathing in florida! haha now that is what i call a win my friends. i do still have the bear i was given as a valentines day gift. cupcake is her name. she sits on my tv stand in my room as a reminder that valentines day and relationships are not all that bad. as i was driving home from said "anti-man" party and i realized that even though i may be happily single i should not close myself off from the world, friends are good. adorable stories are true and i will find a perfect guy and he will be EVERYTHING that i require, it just may take a while. so for future reference... valentines day sucks and single-awareness day rules.

this has been a Day in the Life of Miss Sarah
