Luck has to run out...

This is horrible. So our soccer team has been abandoned. Our coach has left us.  Yes, i am grieving, yes i don't know what i am going to do without a coach. I don't want to stop playing club, but i just can't see myself playing with my friends team. I also don't want to go to a different club, but i just may have too. I just tried so hard to get onto this team, i just don't know what it will take to get onto another team. I just can't believe it. Wow. My luck ran out already, wow.

One Lucky Day...

So today is like my luckiest one of the year. first i totally forgot to attach a brochure to the back of a career report, but my homeroom teacher let me print one out on her computer. She is my favorite person right now. Also you know the lewis and clark project that i was working on the night before and the morning of? well i aced it, extra credit and all. It was great, tho we have to change seats in all our classes and maybe even switch classes on monday( we don't have school for the rest of the week. semester break) and i am hoping my luck stays with me.

You Don't Know Me

You Don't Know Me
David Klass
This book is kind of annoying in the beginning. For example "the kitchen that is not a kitchen" or "the school that is not a school". But It is a good book.  A friend who said this book recommended it to me and let me borrow her copy. Tho unsure at first it captures you, and makes you want to finished it. It is small book and is a fast read. It is about a high school student who thinks that no one know the true him. His is abused by his mother's boyfriend who lives in the same house. He friend but not friend gets in trouble and they both like the same girl, one who his nickname for her is Glory Hallelujah. It is a book that lasts the period of a short time, like a few weeks. The guy, John, is a kind of funny guy who lives inside is own mind. It is a short and interesting novel. I tried to get a large picture so you can read the cover. it is just an excerpt from the story.

This Lullaby

This Lullaby
Sarah Dessen
Okay so I love this book. Not like The Hunger Games LOVE, but like it makes me laugh LOVE. So Remy, she always has this pattern with guys, she goes out with them, and right before it get serious, she dumps them, so as not to get attached. And she does not date musicians. On the other hand, Dexter (i love him), is a musician, and the first time he talks to remy is to declare that they were meant for each other and that the song that was playing was their song. Remy thinks he's a freak and the freak keeps on bumping into her until things happen. I absolutely love the character of Dexter. He is such a dork, kid, and is so funny. He is the lead singer of their band, Truth Squad and they hate spinnerbait. HATE SPINNERBAIT. (read the book and you'll get it). The whole story is really cute and isn't as deep and scar-ful as Dessen's other books. One of my faves and when i talk about my faves, I mean out of Dessen Books and all books, but mainly out of Dessen Books. And for all you guys out there, it is a girl book. Just making sure, because you know,  sometimes there is that one guy.... JK

Hero


Hero
Perry Moore
Okay soo....... This is a weird book. I am just going to cut straight to the point. It is about a gay superhero. I know, weird combination huh? Well, Thom, the main character, is the product of ex invisibility superhero mom and ex no power but good enough dad. His mom left years ago and he had just been cut from the basketball team due to his "state".  He then tries out for the "League" and is assigned to a group of other superheroes for training. I thought this book was kind of weird, but it was okay. Yeah. I'm done.

Q: Type in "[your name] needs" in the Google search.

Q: Type in "[your name] looks like" in Google search.

Q: Type in "[your name] says" in Google search.

Q: Type in "[your name] wants" in Google search.

Q:Type in "[your name] does" in Google search.

Okay so what was up with the whole fashion theme? I not like a fashion disaster, but i am also not a fashion model. Actually, if you google my full name, I come up as the first two entries, one for Chivas Club soccer team, and the other one for the 5K i ran called the Gator run. 

And for books, I have just finished Hero, by Perry Moore and this Lullaby by Sarah Dessen and am currently working on a book that right now i cannot remember the name of... but when i have a good amount of time to work on them i will review. This is the last week of the semester and we are being bombarded with homework so i have to focus on that cause my grades have been failing( i still have an a... just a lower a). 

Last day of the semester is one wednesday, so expect a post by then and then I have all of 4 days to read. I seriously have a problem. I bought 8 books when i still have to read like ten. I am behind. Also thanks to GraceNotGracie for tagging me.
