Day 2

Dear Crush,

Why can't I seem to find you? I've been looking for awhile now and can't seem to find the right person. When I find you will you not break my heart? I'll give you a chance if you give me one.

Lots of love,

Lindsay

Day 1

Dear Maura, Kaitlin, Lauren, and Alex.

This first letter is supposed to be only to one person but I feel that right now I'm closest to the four of you. The four of you are my wolf pack, the girls I can go to and tell anything that's on my mind. We are all so different but somehow we seem to click and get along. You guys are there for me and seem to know how to cheer me up on a bad day.

Maura, you were one of my first "new friends" as I came to NDCL. I feel that I can tell you a secret and be confident that you won't tell a single person. We didn't have any classes together but we managed to be good friends. If you hadn't been there for me when drama went down during the year I would be lost.

Kaitlin, I've known you since seventh grade when I came to NDES but I never felt that we were close until this year. You know how to make me laugh when it's been one of those days where I can't seem to put a smile on my face. I know that no matter what you will always be there for me and stand by me.

Lauren, you are one of the smartest people I know and if it hadn't been for science with Teeples I would have never gotten to know you as well as I did. In the beginning of the year I don't think you liked me that much but after working together on our science project we became good friends. I still laugh when I hear about the conversations you have with my sister and all of the stories you seem to have about volleyball.

Alex, I haven't known you for that long but we have already shared some laughs. You've been across from my locker the whole year but I never actually knew who you were until I went home with Lauren. You have been a really good friend this year and I know that we are going to be good friends.

Girls, I know that there are alot more memories to come not only this summer but this year. Stay classy my girls, stay classy.

Lots of love,

Lindsay

World Cup '10

I'm so excited that USA advanced today. It has been such a long since I last watched soccer on TV. The last time I watched the World Cup was when I was at soccer camp. All of the girls gathered in one of the basements and watched the World Cup Finals. We were watching the final game between Italy and France and we were just stunned when Zidane head-butted a player on the Italian team. There was no reason why Zidane should have head-butted the other player so he received a red card. In the world of women's soccer you normally don't see such violence. After spending a week with girls from all over that I had hardly known it felt good that we had experienced this once in a lifetime game. Soccer is the type of sport where you can take your anger out on a player you don't even know and usually get away with it. I love watching soccer and hope that the USA can come out on top! This is my life moving at the Speed of Sound.

Stronger Than Last Year

Work it harder make it better,

do it faster makes us stronger,

more than ever, hour after

hour work is never over

Soccer season is coming up and I'm not excited. I'm not excited to play with coaches that I don't like. I'm not excited to kill myself in the heat, and the cold. And I'm not excited to work for something that is out of reach. I do however want to win this year. After seeing us play last year I have never felt the need to win before. I want our team to become stronger, closer, and better. No matter how much I don't want to play I will try to push the new players to make them better. This is life moving at the Speed of Sound.

Changes

Today I realized how much my life has changed over the last couple of months. At the beginning of freshman year my hair was a hot mess, my sister was known by all of the freshman, and I didn't like meeting new people. Now that summer is finally here I've figured out so much. I now love meeting new people. Cause I never know when a new friend is going to show up in my life. For that, I have my "wolf pack" to thank. I absolutely love these girls, because they make me laugh, they know how to cheer me up, and everyone gets along. We are all so different but somehow we just click. There's no drama when the five of us are together. I sometimes miss the simple days of middle school but I'm glad to have more freedom and more friends.

This is my Life Moving at the Speed of Sound.

Memories and Regrets

As the school year is coming to a close I have many memories and regrets. My favorite memory this year is meeting all of the new people. I never knew one school, one grade could have so many people with so many different personalities. These people are all different, unique in their own special way. Shouldn't so many different personalities clash with each other? Somehow we all don't, we don't fight but understand each other's differences. I have have made many new friends this year and I've kept all or most of my old ones. My friends have always cheered me up, made me laugh, and spent everyday making memories with me. I'm sad people are leaving but according to some quote I found, "some people only pass through your life while others make a lasting impression on you". Even with all of these memories I've made I do have some regrets. I regret not giving it my all and trying my hardest. I regret not getting to know some of my classmates. I regret wasting time on stupid drama that made my life more complicated. But with all my regrets I still believe I had an amazing year. Looking back I know I've made memories that will last me a lifetime.

Love and Rockets,

Lindsay
