Lonely Rez

Reading week has finally begun!!! Rez is so quiet though because everyone has gone home, but alas, I have volleyball every day this week in preparation for provincials next weekend. I would much rather go home, but I guess hanging out with Deanna all day will have to suffice. We've made some plans for this week. We're going to Barrhead with Christa and Marie on Monday night and then we're going to Latin Dance lessons and Karaoke on Tuesday night... and we're planning on going to Claire's house one day (to play with her puppy and eat... we don't even like Claire.. hahah I'm lying... we love Claire, but her puppy and food are the most appealing parts).
This morning I slept in till 9:00 and sat in bed for an hour or so before going across the hall to cuddle with Amber and talk to Laura. Laura was going to try out for Canadian Idol today and she was so nervous so we were trying to get her to practice in front of us. She adamantly refused, but eventually sang a little diddy with the computer.Oh man.. she was trying to convince one of us to go with her, but I had volleyball and Amber had to work. She was going to have to sit and wait alone so she packed some homework. We gave her a huge hug for good luck and then went to my room to talk for a bit. About 10 minutes or so later we see her walking back to her room so we called out and asked what she was doing. She told us that she wasn't going. Our mouths dropped and we ran into her room. I was almost crying and Amber was yelling at her and she was saying how there are good singers and then there are amazing singers and that she's only average and she won't make it anyway. So I sat there dumbfounded with my heart pounding and my throat constricting and Amber was yelling at her telling her to put her work back in her bag and to get back out there. We were ready to do anything to make that girl go sing because she has so much talent and she is so cute and we just love her and know she could make it and do so good. So we were desperately trying to convince her to go and then she started laughing at us and said that she was going and that Theresa volunteered to go with her so she was getting different work to do. We just about lost it! Oh man... We had our adrenaline rushing and we were getting so emotional and then it turned out she was just lying. I couldn't even believe it! It was hilarious, but it took forever for my heart to stop pounding. So... she eventually left Amber and I choked in her room.
Deanna and I went for breakfast at 11:30. So yummy! I love breakfast. Then we had volleyball. Warm-up was so fun. Deanna and I played our little game.... the "hit the ball back and forth and keep it bouncing because we're really only five year olds who are easy to entertain" game. Goodtimes. Hitting warm-up was fun too... aka I could actually hit today and wasn't hitting with my elbow. Umm.. Bench warming is actually quite entertaining too. Christa Preuss, Deanna Barwich and I wear our black hoodies and stand at the end of the bench cheering, talking, doing high kicks, dancing and generally just making fools of ourselves. We are the biggest losers I know, but we have so much fun so it doesn't matter. Then pepper during the time outs is a gong show! We're lucky if we get a rally of any sort.We lost...
Deanna is falling asleep per usual so I think I'll go jump on her...
