something even newer

the good kind :)
I got an iPhone today!!! The totes awk Verize Vize dude flirted with me and it was hilarious. I am so lost in what I should download, where to start?!

My brudda and some of my neighbors all had a group date and I had to walk through their date-ness to the door when I went babysitting. Über awkward. I hope they didn't think I felt left out, they still are in my house I think. Well this was just meant to be a short blog post!

peace out.

boring adventures

I threw on some jeans, put my hair in a messy ponytail, and drove over to Josee's with Kobe on Saturday night. I must've been a sight to see. We didn't watch the BYU/UTE game... but obviously the right team won. {GO UTES} I'm not much of a football addict, actually I'm not a crazy football fan at all, but I do slightly favor the Utes and I think sports games can be exhilarating, which is why I slightly care who won :)

On Sunday, after stake conference, I decided to do something productive... So I made some muddy buddies! I had to use math[skills] and convert the recipe from 9 cups of Chex mix to 7 measly cups. They turned out great, but not fully amazing. No one in my family has really touched them so I have been eating them while on the internet. Healthy, I know. After the seminary fireside, I watched many lame movies on Netflix with mi familia and reminisced on when my dog was a puppy [cue the too cheesy and corny dog movies.]

I have a decent amount of homework tonight and now I am off to chauffeur my mom where she needs to go [the pleasures of having a permit.]

Have a great rest of the day!

current

Today. While everyone is getting ready for the Homecoming dance and doing their day activity, I have been practicing piano for when I [maybe] play at my brother's farewell and drinking plenty of juice. Does that make me an uneventful and boring person? Probably not, I know there are many boys and girls who aren't going to the dance tonight.
In order to spice up this post, I will write on my life currently [prepare yourself.]

My family is a one of a kind conglomeration of random moments of nonstop laughing and trips to new places we haven't been to before. I don't remember anything of my life in Peru, but I do remember living in the exciting downtown of SLC. B-Town is where my brother and I basically grew up, however. It's where he and I went/go to jr. high and high school. It's where we've had many adventures, why am I talking about my family and B-Town? One reason may be that today, my parents and I made the "invitations" for Elder Chavez's farewell. It's crazy how time flies. Abel was called to the New Mexico Farmington mission [and he'll probably kill me for posting about this] and sometimes it really hits me that I'll be an only child for 2 years! My friend Emmie brings it up every time we talk about his mission (I hope I don't become a brat). It's very likely that I'll be playing one of our favorite hymns "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" at his farewell and he knows that I have the music for it but I don't think he knows that I'll play it for sure, so don't tell him! I'm trying to surprise him. Well, I guess I don't even know if I'm playing it for sure also.

Another recent thing is the beginning of my sophomore year! High school is really enjoyable, I just love how much more "freedom" I get than I ever did in jr. high. I don't really have any uber fun classes, my only real elective is choir. and that's next semester. On the first day of school I'm pretty sure I had the word "sophomore" written on my forehead, and I still feel like I do just a little bit. I'm starting to get the hang of high school and I've made a few new friends. I absolutely love BHS and even though I get a lot of homework, I'm glad the school season started. Thus, my nerdiness.

I think I'm off to get my new phone today. And after babysitting, my night will depend on my decision to dress up or stay in sweats.

peace out.

An Official Brave

whata great turnout. The homecoming football game was so fun, we won [of course!] and I genuinely felt old when I saw jr. high students and elementary kids at the game. It's so weird to think that I will never go back to jr. high [peace out Millcreek], just like it's weird to think that I'll never go to elementary school again.

Anyways, I'm an official B-Town Brave now! I went to the tailgate party, which was basically an early opening of the gates, and I feel legit now. We completely killed it with our football team and I cheered and laughed about throughout the game. 

...I feel like I'm just describing my day to you without any spunk. Well, I guess what this post envelops is the reminiscing of the olden days. bye-bye yesterday. hello today. bye bye seventh grade. hello sophomore year. If I were to give any advice to anyone willing to take it from a girl fresh out of Millcreek it would be: 

• befriend as many people as you can! A simple "hi my name is _____" goes a long way.
• get on the good side of your teachers, meaning be a good student! 
• don't be mean to other people, and don't judge. everyone has a story to tell
• Freshmen are not that scary! They just feel more confident having gone through similar things you will experience in the next 3 years.
• challenge yourself academically and "broaden your horizons" (my personal favorite and cheesy educational motivator)
• be the best you can be, jr. high can really be a great personality builder.

buh bye 7th grade me.

I have much more corny advice, but I'm pretty sure that it would only pertain to the seventh grade me. So I won't go on for now. 

Back to my legit-ness. I'm a Brave!!! It's not that significant, pretty much every B-Town native becomes a Brave. I guess I'm just fixated on the fact that I'm in high school {which by the way is a wayyyy fun experience.} oh my. I wrote another list and I didn't even mean to! I guess I am quite fond of lists. 

bhs represent.

I would post pictures [that aren't from face book] of my face-paint and color-red-filled night, but as of now, my laptop is in the possession of my bro-ski.

Until the next time I will have the urge to blog... good night!

something new

Hi virtual world! I'm Melany and I have decided to start a blog just for the fun of it! This will be more of a public journal and story sharing blog that will take you through my adventures in high school at BHS {first year!} and other things that will happen to me throughout.

 

Just some reasons why I began a blog: 

1. I've been having a lot of days where I find myself thinking "I wish I had a blog to write in today!"
2. I love reading other people's blogs, so why not make one of my own?
3. I wanted something more to do (as if homework and friends weren't enough) with my nights.
4. To entertain you with the many stories I have and will experience.
5. And because I think blogging will be fun!

You can probably already tell that I'm a little bit cheesy and overly happy :) Is it [virtually] tacky to have 2 lists in one blog post? Maybe so, but whatever! Here's a list introducing myself:

1. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
2. I enjoy the simple things in life such as rainy days, kind gestures, and playing hymns on the piano.
3. I love making new friends!
4. I love my family, although sometimes my teenage attitude does not show it 
5. I have a golden retriever (his name is Sparky) and he is practically a human member in my family, let alone "the baby of the family"
6. I love driving! I think it's such an exhilarating thing, and I'm in the process of learning stick shift.
7. I sorta have a bad habit of shopping as much as I can... but hey what teenage girl doesn't?
8. I love high school! But I have to admit, although everyone regards jr. high as "the dark ages", I loved Millcreek!
9. I really enjoy learning about my Peruvian culture and I hope to travel back to my home country someday.
10. Alrighty... to be honest, it has been my ultimate dream since the dawn of time to travel to Greece someday. It's really a mutual dream for my mom and me. Every time I see pictures of the beautiful landscape I just wanna jump on a plane straight to Greece with my momma. 
11. I love Christmas! I always am looking forward to the holiday season and all the cheer and happiness it brings! how many days is it to Christmas??? 
12. I don't really have a favorite color, I really love all colors, they all symbolize different moods and conditions! But I do favor sky blue and pink.

the positive ones

j'aime la mer

There you go! Justa introduction of me, hopefully I didn't bore you!

Since I have recently started this blog, you should expect over-enthusiastic and daily posts :)

Hope you have a great rest of the day!
