Soccer tryouts

I am so disappointed! After trying out for a week 7 other girls and I got kicked off the team! Seeing some of the girls who made it in I am very surprised that I didn't make It. I really miss staying after school and doing cross country, the season didn't last long enough... Well, on a happier note, I got a calling! Are ward is doing a family history program called the turning of our hearts. It is mostly for the youth and I got chosen to be a family history specialist. I am going to be trained to do family history and then I will teach the other youth. There are 11 other youth who are going to help me. I am excited! Well that's all!

Cross country (again)

Guess what? I beat my old cross country score by 14 seconds per mile!!!!! The race was 1.74 miles so I beat my old altogether time by like 20 seconds! I can now run a race in 8 min 37 sec! Yay! I am super proud of myself! Finals are on Wednesday and it is the same course as the last race, I am nervous but excited. The season ends this Thursday so I am kind of sad... But soccer is coming up! I am soooo excited for soccer it is my all time favorite sport! I have a lot to be excited about! Wish me luck on the meet!

MSP

Do you want to know something awesome? Out of all of the seventh graders I got the highest MSP score! (For all of you who don't know what the MSP is, it is a test that elementary and middle schoolers take. The highest score is 475) I got a 475 score!!! The 2nd place person got a 450 score, so he was not even really close to my score! I am so proud of myself! I worked so hard on the test and it definetly payed off! On kind of a random note tommorow I am marching in the railroad days parade with my band, I am really excited because now I am in advanced band so we can play even cooler music! On another random note, for after school activities I am doing jazz band, orchestra, and (of course) cross country. I am hoping that I can do soccer but I am not sure... We'll that is basically all that has been going on lately!
