Dealing with health issues on top of school

Both Jaymie and I are experiencing health issues as of late. It's really hard to care about school at all while this is happening. Like I have no motivation to do work. And it sucks. -wtf Alice 

Boo!

I'm back! It's been over a month since our (my) last post. School, well life in general, has been hectic...though I still manage to procrastinate immensely. Anyway, I just wanted to get something down to hold down the loud masses of readers we have on here. I'll write more close to/after Halloween! Stay spooky! - Alice 

Sick

Being home sick is the best and the worst... On one hand you get to sleep and watch tv and chill but on the other you feel like shit. On one hand you miss school/work/soccer but on the other hand you have a ton of work to makeup. Ugh. I feel gross. That is all.

School...

It's that time of year again....back to school *millions of children and teenagers' cries are heard throughout the world*.  As usual the beginning of summer went by slowly, until we hit July which went by in a flash, and then August moseyed along at a good pace, and now we're here...September first. Back to school means many things to many people, some have a positive outlook on it, while others dread it like it's the second coming of the plague. Personally, I fall somewhere in the middle (although I lean more towards the plague option). Going back to school means school shopping, seeing friends, learning new things, and also getting back to a somewhat normal schedule. Unfortunately, for me, school also means lots of stress, lots of work, not enough sleep, seeing people I don't like (yay for social anxiety), mental break downs, and general chaos at times. Being the realist that I am, I try to balance out these two things...even doing this the feeling of impending doom never seems to go away. Take right now for instance, I have butterflies in my stomach for school tomorrow, but whether they come out of fear or out of excitement I do not know for sure. What I'm trying to get to here, is the fact that yes, going back to school sucks on a whole lot of levels, but, it can also be really fun and exciting. So I advise you to follow in my (tentative) footsteps in trying to view going back to school holistically, rather then seeing it as the end of all days. Over and out - A butterfly filled Alice

Alice update

Not that any of you ( if there even is a collective 'you') care, but I MADE THE VARSITY TEAM!!!! 😁🎉😆 Also, this summer APUS work is actually goin to be the death of me. That is all. - Yet again stressed Alice 

Ps. This is the hell book below ⬇️

Summer schoolwork...aka death

Being the procrastinator that I am, I've basically saved 90% of my school work for the last 5 days of summer. I'm super stressed about it. I have to finish a book, then read like 5 chapters of a book an write an essay on it. Oh! I also have to like go back and fill in questions I didn't get from my textbook work. So basically I'll be reading/ writing until the day I go back (Sept. 2). I'm so stressed. Ugh. So the moral of this story is... When you have a whole bunch of work to do and you have a ton of free time, do the work in that free time before your schedule gets crazy. Alright I have to go read. Woohoo. - A very bad student Alice 

Preseason cont.

So my whole body hurts even more than yesterday if that's even possible. Also my  potential coach called me out for my mistake in front of everyone so that was great. I have 4 more hours of soccer today and I honestly might die. That is all. - A very tired and dissapointed Alice

Preseason

I had soccer for two sets of three hours today. I am so completely exhausted. I'm also realy frustrated because I don't think I'm going to make varsity and I think one of my best friends is. I know I should be happy for her, but I'm jealous too. I just really don't want to get split from her, but of course I want her to succeed. I also still don't know how I feel about being JV this year...The coach is doing preliminary cuts on Friday/Saturday, and the final rosters are made on next Thursday, so I still have plenty of time. Well, nothing is written in stone until then. Alright that's all for now! I'll post again soon! - A very tired Alice 

All About Jaymie

Well hello cyberspace! My name is Jaymie and I thought I should give you guys a quick insight to my life. First off, as you may know through Alice's post, I am a junior which means that this next year will be hell! Anyways, I am sixteen years old, am in chorus with Alice (although I am nowhere near as good as she is) Seriously just look "tone deaf" in the dictionary and my face will be in there :) I work as a clerk in a local drugstore and I have been there a year today! I am a vegan, love the theater, and love making people happy. I have a pug named Lily who is my little princess. I could talk all day about her, which I might do someday so I'll save it until then, I am still trying to figure out this whole blog thing so the blog probably will change every other day. I think it is time to log off for now but until then,
Much Love,
Jaymie xoxo

Intro to Alice

Well hello there! I just wanted to make a little post, giving you a mini introduction into who I (Alice) am. I guess I'll just start with the basics. I'm a junior in high school, one that I attend with my lovely co-blogger Jaymie. I play soccer for my high school team, I'm in the chorus and select chorus group at my high school, and I work with elementary school kids at an after school program. I absolutely love singing. I started singing in elementary, and I started to get more serious about it when I got the highly admired and sought after role of "Snowboarder dude" in our 4th grade musical. Since then I have been taking voice lessons, participating in chorus, and trying to get myself out there. I could write a whole post about singing, but I don't want to bore you to death (I'll do that later muhahaha). Also, I write. Quite a lot. Whether it's full on songs, little quotes, poems, or stories, I love to express myself through writing. Now there's a lot more to me than this stuff, but this is all my tired brain can think of right now. I'll write more soon.  - Alice

Soooooo

Technology is hard to work...that is all

First Blog Post!

Hello to whoever is reading this!
     We are Jaymie and Alice and we have decided to write a blog! This blog is set out to be a fun, little hobby to us and to whoever might enjoy this further down the road. We have no experience running a blog, but that's the fun part. No one knows what to expect, not even us. One week we might write seven posts, while another week, there may only be two. Feel free to join us on this adventurous journey called blogging :) We have wanted to do something together for a while now and this idea came out of the blue. We both love to write and we both love expressing our ideas and feelings so this will basically be a random collection of those things (and more!)
