Hi, i'm Claudine! Freshman at Whitney High School, reppin' the class of 2012. God, family, and friends mean the world to me. I love reading books, especially if they're interesting. I couldn't imagine life without music, it really is my therapy. Bonding makes my day & i appreciate people who go out of their comfort zone to act like their selves with no restraint.

Another new start this week. I wonder how many times i've thought that before. after all the years we've spent at school, how many times i've had these crazy up and down moments, how many times i couldn't wait for days to be over and the weekend to start, and how many times i had to go back to it all and face everything all over again. You'd think i'd be pretty used to it by now.

Anyways, my weekend was surprisingly really fun! You know how my family & i are part of this religious community thing called COH? Well sunday was the 15th anniversary, and we all got to dress up and everything. It was at this golf place in diamond bar, but it was really pretty, and i dunno, it was just peaceful. But anyways, i really couldnt wait for it to be over, and i thought it would just be another boring event, buut it was so.. idunno, intense? it was alot of things. Like, some people had their public commitments to serve the lord for the rest of their lives, and they told of their stories, and how God entered their lives and they became incredibly close, and i was so touched, i was about to cry. I really really really want that. I want a super close relationship with God. I'm grateful for him, and everything he's done, but i always seem too busy to actually try, you know? and that makes me feel like sucha bad person. I'm sorry if i'm ranting about stuff that dont make sense, but it always just bugs me how i never try hard enough. Being part of COH really helps though. I guess through being with a community of people with the same wants and needs, i'm actually motivated, and it makes me want to try. does that make sense? does anything even make sense? haha. I have no idea anymore. When i get older, i start to question so much more things, and everything gets so tangled up and complicated. But that happens to everyone, right?

Everyone bonded alot, especially me and the youth group. there was so much food and we ate so much, i was bloated. We played with the little kids, and messed around. And they showed this kairos video with pictures of all the activities we've done, and it reminded me of so much good times. At the end, we just danced, and in that moment, everything that's been bothering my mind just left. and i felt what it was like to be truly happy. I mean truly happy. with no worries, no thoughts of the future, present, but just of what was happening right then. If only that could happen more often, life would be so much easier to live. But life would be pretty boring without challenges and complications, huh?

Well.. back to school. Its getting kinda old. seriously, the homework, the tests, quizzes, projects. I wish something interesting would happen soon. Oh, i might go to knotts scary farm with kairos youth group next friday! but that day has so many events i wanna go to. like the feary tales fall ball, or the first day of holy family festival. I've never been to a halloween dance for whitney, and it seems like so much fun. & i've never missed a day of the holy family carnival, but i guess there's saaturday & sunday still. Man, tomorrow's early release day and freaking volleyball practice is STILL till 3:30. 2 more weeeks, and no more! its gonna be bittersweeet. ima' miss my teaaam, but at the same time the thought of a break from volleyball kinda makes me happy. dont get me wrong, i love it and everything. but still. oh but im leaving early tomorrow. i just remembered, cause im getting my 2nd HPV shot. man, i dont know if its gonna hurt or not. cause everyone was all talking about how it was the one that hurt the most. and i swore never to take it, but my sister convinced me. and then like, i was expecting so much pain, but i think that since i thought it would really really hurt, and it wasn't as bad as everyone was saying, that i didnt really feel like it hurt. you know? ahh, hard to explain. but i have to go wash dishes. so goood night!
