Today is my birthday! It has not been the best one ever, but I am thankful to see another one. Eighteen is supposed to be a huge birthday, but i'm waiting on twenty-one lol. On another note prom is right around the corner, and I still don't have a dress. I just got a date today, Dee Denson. I was going to go with Will, but we broke up. Bummer! I think he still wants to go, but I all ready to dee yes. He will be okay. I can see him another time! This is my senior prom, and I want it to be the BEST! My jr. prom was not that good. We all to pictures, danced to about three songs, then dipped out! The dj was boring, and we didn't like him. I hope they hired a better one this time. When I find a dress I want it to be jaw dropping. I want to look drop dead gorgeous!
Bulldog basketball! I can't think of a better team to have played for. The season was the best. 29-2! We made it back to the final four which was exactly what we wanted. I knew we could make it back. We could have won it, but we came out sluggish in the first quarter. I really feel like if we played like we did in mobile, and in the first round game we would have came out of top. Losing that game broke my heart. We were so close I could practically taste it, and I was hungry for it. Some may think that I shouldn't have cried, but i couldn't help it. That could have been my last organized basketball game ever. Even though my high school career is over I will always love basketball. It is more than just a game to me! I ♥ my senior girls Shi'Amber Townsend(the beast), Alexis Horton(24/pg), Latrexius Trawick(clutch lol), Aletricia Barnes(lock down)!
I know this happened a while ago but winning Miss Memolusia felt great. I don't really do pagents. I did Miss Memolusia my tenth grade year and placed in the top ten. My eleventh grade year i signed up too late. Senior year rolled around and I wasn't going to do it until my sister told me she wanted me to be in it. So like I always do I waited the last minute to get a dress. I guess my mother had been telling people at work that I was going to be in the pagent. A lady that used to own a dress shop told her I could come buy her house and look if I wanted to. Soon as my mom walked in the door and told me we left and headed to her house. We went down stairs where she had dresses and shoes from her shop that she was trying to get rid of. She pulled out a few dressed but I was not feeling those. As soon as she brought out this pretty peach dress I was all over it. I tried it on with some heels. It was perfect! I didnt need any thing taken up or anything. It was the week before the pagent and I had only been to one practice. Saturday came around and I was so nevrous. Seniors went on last. My escort was Jacard Townsend. I was glad I had someone I talk to on a daily bases to walk me out so he could make me laugh. I walked out was thinking don't fall, keep smilling, and don't look into the light and get blinded. As I did my last turn and they called out my name for the last time I heard all of my friends that came yelling "WE LOVE YOU DOODY." I could finally relax after we did our final walk. We all went back to the library and waited on someone to return with the finalist. The girl called our Kristin Evans name first. Then she said about three other girls. I was texting when I heard my name. After that I kind of went blank and didn't hear any other names she called out. We made our way back to the stage. Since Kristin and I were at the back of the line everyone thought we didn't get in the top. When we walked out mostly everyone yelled. They called out the girls who where just finalist. Greely Foshee, Lorren Cooper, Kristin Evans, and I were the only ones left. Lorren Copper third alt. Kristin Evans second alt. I got really nervous. Kristin and I held hands as they got ready to say who would be first alt. Greely Foshee first alt. My mouth dropped!! All types off emotions came over me. I was shocked! I almost cried, but I managed to hold it in. For that to be only my second pageant, and win was so awesome.

Well the season is coming to an end. Five more games and we could be 4A Champions. I have faith in my team  and myself that we can actually win this thing. We just have to take it one game at a time. I don't believe we have came this far for no reason. I want it bad and so does the other Senior girls. We may not show it all the time, but deep down inside we are all hungry for that win and to get the ring on our finger. Having that title would not only make us look and show people that we are the best, but it would give Andalusia High School a good name. I'm just going to do my part and focus on the next round.Can't think ahead because we wont make it there if we don't do what we have to do Thursday (16th). Anyway Saturday(11th) we won Area Championship and it felt great to have that title back again. There is nothing better then beating the Straughn Tigers. I have never seen so many that claim our basketball team is not classy and act the way they act at the same time. They really confuse me?? lol.

Senior night has passed and we played a good game against T.R.Miller. The boys played awesome also. Senior night was not as emotional as the others I have been able to be around for. None of the seniors cried, but some of the younger girls did. We were tagged in alot of post that saying how much they are going to miss us. We argue with each other all the time at practice, but at the end of the day we all have each others back, NO MATTER WHAT(future voice). Our season has been going great. We are on a big winning streak. 21 games in a row! Last year we won 20 games in a row. I feel like we have what it takes to win the whole thing. We just have to win in Mobile to get to our final destination. This is it, and if we don't at least make it back to the final four I will be so hurt. I hate that we didn't make it back to the Elite Eight with volleyball. Losing after putting everything you have on the floor hurts, and i'm not trying to have that feeling again.
