  Quick Update & The Amazing Race!

  Hey everyone! Again, I know I haven't blogged in a while but in a nutshell I went to Florida in April on vacation, and did all the Disney things like last April. I played varsity tennis this spring and for those of you unfamiliar with how the sport works, everyone on the team is ranked on a ladder by skill level from #1-however many are on your team. Only #1-6 get to play a singles match and most likely those 6 will play in the doubles matches. I played #6 throughout the season and won about half my singles matches and about 3/4 of my doubles matches. This is only my second year playing tennis so I think it's pretty good! Overall, however, my team finished 3-11, but we lost a lot of seniors last year so this year was kind of a rebuilding year anyway. Right now I have 21 days of school left and counting! I cannot wait for the summer! This summer I will be going on a leadership workshop for girls in June and I won an all-expenses paid trip to Indianapolis through an application process which will take place in July.

  For those of you who are Amazing Race fans, you should signup for the new Amazing Race ORG over on the Fun and Games Forum. We need about 5 more people before we can start and would love to do so soon! Even if you've never seen the show you can still play! It will be fun and Amanda, who is running the game, is very committed so we will have a dedicated host.

  Have a great memorial day weekend everyone! To the country's fallen heroes along with those currently serving our country (and their families) I salute you and sincerely thank you for allowing me to live freely and safely.

  Megan Who?

  So it's been 4 months since I've blogged. Since the redesign I've really cut down on my time on the site, so I apologize for my prolonged absence from commenting on your blogs! I think a wrote a blog a while ago, but it never posted so I didn't feel like re-typing the entire thing! In order to catch you up, here are 5 things that have happened to me since August....

  1. Made Varsity Volleyball Team- So as many of you know I went to a volleyball camp this summer, and I assume it paid off because I made my school's first ever Varsity VBall Team! And as a bonus, I was elected captain! Unfortunately we finished a whoping 0-18, but to be honest I didn't expect much as our school is in the highest conference in the state. Hopefully next year we can improve to at least .500.
  2. Made JV Basketball Team- Basketball season is well under way and I must admit it is kicking my butt! There's a new coaching staff in place and we condition A LOT. So far we are 2-0 and it's looking promising again (my team is the reigning state champs) though. We practice 6 days a week, 2 hours each day so I've been busy with that and schoolwork.
  3. Moved up to #2 in my Class Rank- It has not been easy but I've worked really hard with my studies. I understand that I need to work really hard to maintain this!
  4. Got Re-Hooked on The Sims 2- This one takes a little longer to explain, haha. So back in the second week of December, you may have heard about the massive power outages in the Northeast. Luckily I never lost power, but I did lose my INTERNET and CABLE! Therefore I was extremely bored by day 3 so I installed my old game of the Sims 2. Have any of you ever played it? It's horribly addicting!
  5. Started the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Chapions Edition- Finally! I've created the Million Dollar Challenge from my long-running game over on the TV Fun & Games Forum. It involves all contestants who won at least $25,000. If that's you please respond to my PM!

  That's about it for now. My holiday was pretty low-key by the way. We played our annual Laser Tag, but it was a little different because another family was in there with us. But we got to hang out with my aunts which is always a blast. How were all of your holidays? Plus, what have you been up to since we last talked? Happy New Year everyone!
