eLAMPco

Hey guys! It seems like I haven't posted in forever!! But there are many reasons behind it, at school we have a business academy and within the academy we had a choice of doing company program. As a class we did the company program so our company's name is eLAMPco. We recycle wine bottles and turn them into eco friendly lamps. Yesterday we had our very first trade fair, we were not exactly on top of our game last month but with the help of a couple of parents and volunteers we managed to get a booth and 39 lamps built. In the trade fair the judge many different things, such as; Company uniform, best booth, most innovative, gross profit, sales pitch and overall sales presentations. Throughout the day we sold 21 lamps, which is pretty good in my opinion, but after our sales were over they had the awards, eLAMPco got runner up Highest Gross profit, best Company Uniform, and Best booth. If you would like to visit our company's website it is www.elampco.wix.com/eaton
Another reason I have not posted in a while is because I have been doing quite a bit of golf tournaments. Recently we had our local District 4a tournament, which Eaton High School won! This means we are going to regionals, at regionals we will be competing against 16 other schools, and the top three go to state.As of right now we are ranked number two in the region and 8th in state.

Sports!

Okay! So over the last long/ many months I've updated y'all on many different sports... such as; volleyball, basketball, and track. It doesn't seem like much but trust me it is!! Today I'm glad to inform you that I am now a High School golfer :) golf tryouts were today and this kinda ruins it but there were four boys and one girl (me) but if it helps... or makes me sound better then there are five different tryouts; today at 5, today at 6 , tomorrow at 4, tomorrow at 5 and tomorrow at 6. Over the next three tryouts there are supposed to be more girls so. I don't know if I've already put this into a blog post yet but my summer has been CHAOTIC!! This is almost everything I've done JUST this month:

Craziness

I'm basically just saying what I said in my last post "Officially 14!" but it's crazy to think that this started as a school project for newspaper but is know something I do on my free time which is very rarely. But anyways last year I was freaking out because I almost 1,000 views and as you can tell I have around 2,298 views which doesn't even phase me now. I don't even blog that often then Y'all still view it... even my old post from January of last year. yes i can see which ones people view and where you're from. Which gets pretty creepy when you have more views from the Ukraine  than the U.S in a month.... But anyways thank you all so much for your time! And I might be 

deleting my blog soon.

Officially 14!

So it's now hitting me that I started this blog when I was 12.... as of yesterday I'm now 14. I guess you can say time FLIES! Its kinda weird to think that next year around this time I'll almost be a sophomore and in a couple months I'll be a Freshman. I literally have no words besides if your reading this I have two things to say to you because I get quite a few views still, #1. Thank you #2 if you don't mind letting me know why you are because my life isn't all that interesting, and if you have anything you want me to blog about I'm open for suggestions.



Thank Ya'll!

London and Paris

Durring spring break I got to go to Paris and London with my school, not to learn but to have fun, which it was. Here are some pictures

I have a ton of pictures but most of the really good ones are on the camera theses were the ones on my phone. I wish we could've stayed longer but eight days of getting to the hotel late and waking up early is more than enough! Some of the things we did that are not in the pictures  is we went to the Buckingham Palace, the West Minster Abbey (I'm sorry if Im spelling the words wrong, I'm not the best) those were both beautiful. We got to see the Mona Lisa was well which was pretty cool. The one thing I will not miss is the "underground" as we call it the subway, those little tickets are a pain to keep up with!

Thank you for reading!

Love,

Busy Busy Bee

Ok so last year I tried out for track... and didn't make it, oh well. A couple of weeks ago I tried out for 8th grade track knowing I have a better chance of making it and looky looky I made it! Normally when I make a team I'm pumped but I don't know yet last week I ran the 800 meter (two laps) the 400 meter (one lap) and the 4x400 (one lap) I got eighth  for the 800 and last on the other two:(. I really don't want to do the 400 and 4x4, luckily the track meet that would've been tonight got canceled due to bad weather. A piece of advice NEVER DO THE 800, 400 AND 4X4 if you don't know the order it gets tiring.

Time flies!

Okay so a lot has happened since the last time I've talked to y'all. Like I had my first goat show  I got 5th place but oh well... my goal q was not to get last, my text is actung  acting weird and I if I try to backspace it will make me start over so you will get to t  read my really bad post that has strikethroughs in it.  In case you are wondering which you most lk likely aren't but oh well, my basketball team hasn't won a game which os  is kinda awkward feeling but life moves on. Another thing is that I ggot accepted to the BME which is the business, management and Entuership  aka its an academy at a new high ch school which will only have 10th and 9 tth graders, Hope everyone had a fabulous holidays!!! :)                              Sorry about the spelling.

NEW POST!

It feels like it's been FOREVER since I've posted! But I have a ton of news: like I made the 8th grade B team volleyball team, but that's history, for the new I made the 8th grade B team basketball team but then again nobody got cut so yeah!
Today my AWSOME L.A teacher, Mrs. Bush, told us to write something we are truly passionate about which I  was like "ummmm.... okay?" because there are many things we all think we're passionate about so I chose basketball. I really do like basketball I don't even know how long I've played. My mom played basketball in high school and was number 22 and today we got our numbers and luckily I got 22 and I've thought of that of my lucky number since I could remember.

Science Project

Okay so in a few weeks the NBC news I think is coming out to our school!!! Since I'm in my science teachers, Mrs. Lutkenhaus's, first pre-ap class I'll be the first class to be on the news I think. But anyways this is my project:

It's Argon by the way.

I have to have a link of this picture so that's why I'm blogging about it.

B teamer

Today we had our 1st volleyball scrimmage *major spelling error I think*  but anyways they told us our teams yesterday but didn't say for sure and tonight I found out I'm b team setter!!!! I'd say we did really good tonight! Good job lady bulldogs!

VOLLEYBALL!!!!

Okay since about 10:10 this morning I've been on the 8th grade girls 2014-2015 volleyball Team!!!! Thought I should let you know. ;)

School!

Okay so I stared school yesterday. I now wake up at 6:00 and get to school at 7 just for volleyball tryouts. It doesn't seem that long ago that I did this turns out it was a year ago! This is how our tryouts go:

1. we show up and pass back and forth with a partner
2. we run 300s in 1 minute 28 secs (I made my running)
3. we play 3 on 3
4. we get to class

I now go to health, I guess its alright. My teacher is Coach P and he seems nice so yeah.

Then there's science, with Mrs. Lutkenhaus who is really funny and nice.

Finally the class I look forward to ALL DAY newspaper!!!! With the best teacher ever, Mrs. Thompson!!

Then Algebra 1 with Mrs. Taylor, I had trouble finding her room. Other than that she's nice but I don't do great at math.

LUNCH IS NEXT!!!!

LA is after lunch with Mrs. Bush who is pregnant!!! she leaves in February

US history with Coach Bass who my sister thought was a Russian spy (yeah maybe not) he worked for the government as a translator NOT A SPY! Coach bass is pretty funny though.

 Spanish 1 with Mrs. Tinius today we learned; Hola como esta? estoy bein! Y tu? Como  te llames? Me llamo Lexi.

So Hi how are you? Im good! And you.? Whats your name? My name is Lexi.

and that's my schedule wish me luck on the last day of tryouts tomorrow!

Flirting

Okay so apparently I've been flirting with everyone!!! We are in my moms car and we pull up next to the oldish guy and I smile just to say Hi but my sister and mom join in and say Lexi stop flirting!! Soo I guess I've been flirting with people and not knowing. Just a little update for you.

3 days!!

In three days at 1:20ish I'll be leaving Paradise, Texas to go to San Angelo! The reason for this is for a mission trip, last year  I went on the same one with my sister and my friends. This year I'm just going with my friends so I'll be sister free for four days!
Things we'll be doing:

1.  We go to the house of Faith where you help all these poor kids
2. We have a scavenger hunt
3. A "ghetto" waterpark (thats what the House of Faith call it)
4. then head home

Have a fun 4th!!!

22 Jump Street

Yesterday afternoon I went to the movies with my sister and my mom and I wanted to see The Fault in Our Stars,, but my mom and sister wanted to see 22 Jump Street. So I went with them so I didn't look like a loser in a movie theater. I looked a little really funny because earlier this week I went to a birthday party at Hawaiian Falls (a water park) I guess 50spf won't cover a LIGHT little 13 year old girl! I reapplied like three times but that didn't work AT ALL!! So now I have a funky sunburn on my back because my swim suit has crossed straps on the back. :(
Anyway if your close to 14 years old or older I would say that 22 Jump Street is okay to watch, Yes, it's rated R but mainly because of the language BUT it mostly says the F word but I got used to it since I go to middle school. (I've heard worse at school:(.)



Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, two weeks ago i was at church group(the 9th to the 13th) then this last week (the 16th to the 20th) went by fast and I was at parties pretty much all week.

Adios,
Lexi <3

Goodbyes :(

On Friday June 6th it was my last day of 7th grade! Normally I'm happy for summer but not in this case, next year I'll have one less friend. One of my best friends are going to Wilson next year. I promised her I wouldn't cry but when she walked out the last doors I couldn't help it.

One other goodbye this week is King George Strait rode away last night. He had his LAST concert last night and I got to go. I had floor seating, in row 8, and seat 22 (my lucking number is 22 so yeah). The concert was titled the King rides away!

Goodbyes are only hellos but their the hardest hellos ever said.
