time for a change!!

literally i have changed and making changes. i cut my hair and i am so in love with it. not to mention how i am now like 4 shades darker than last thursday and i finally registered to vote!! thats prolly the most exciting thing for me. i cant wait to actually have a say in who i want representing me as a citizen. ive been bored and procrastinating terribly so this is what i do to kill time to live through my boredom. blog...

daytona, nationals and SUNSHINE!!

well got back in from daytona last night around midnight. i had tons of fun with my second family. it was a great break from school that was much needed and now i can refocus on the good things in life. i got a major tan which i intended on getting even though i really didn't need it. did some shopping and of course waking up to the ocean breeze and getting to swim a lot. but the main reason was to go drill team nationals. its been part of Sgt. masons five year plan since hes been at magnet. we made there and even though unarmed and armed didnt place we still brought some hardware home. armed color guard placed fourth and my friend natressa placed third in the nation for the best drilled cadet out of 1300 cadets of all branches. all in all it was a good trip. im praying that we can go again next year and have the opportunity to compete again and actually do some serious damage. while i was there i of course took plenty of pics of the gorgeous scenery that isn't an eyesore like shreveport.

PROMOTION BOARD !!

ok so i prolly have mentioned previously about promotion board and how extremely nervous i was and that i was gonna be a failure at life at it. anyways they posted the results this morning and i was really too scared to look at the sheet or even let anyone tell me. i was walking on campus and people started running to me asking if i had checked yet or if i knew. i was like no im gonna check now. possibly thinking that i was put into a position that was way not meant for me or something that i didnt want. but then wheni get close to the rotc building all the unarmed girls run out to me and start frantically saying kari have you checked yet only causing me to freak out even more. until shaterica said you got something really unexpected. this is when i started running. when i got in i pushed whoever was in front of me and saw my name. second from the top. i was battalion XO! are you like kidding me?? me?? kari ann walpole?? the one everyone tends to underestimate??? wow and then ppl around me are like keep reading. im like what else could i have gotten. as i get toward where the team commanders are listed i was unarmed commander too?!?!? wow i really didnt see that one coming after all the drama thats happened lately. but wow what an amazing start to my day. its like from that moment even the worst couldnt make me feel bad. the fact that i had failed like two tests in the same day didnt even make me upset. only problem i see thats coming is the resentment from those around me and people who i think shouldve gotten positions that they down right deserved rather than getting demoted. i dont know how exactly im going to go about this but i guess i will learn.just imagine the load i will have next year. most likely the commander of the battalion and commander of one of biggest team in rotc.i guess that means they all really have faith in me. kinda brings me back to my freshman year when they had asked me what i wanted to be senior year. that time it was battalion commander and drill team commander. and look at it now. my dreams came true!!!

???going back in time???

well ive been thinking alot about life in general. so i started thinking sincve its spring break i need to do some spring cleaning of my mind and the past. i started with my facebook and myspace well that held so much of my life that i want to get rid of but well cant find the strength to delete. so as i stare at the screen debating if i would regret it. i just simply closed the window. heres some stuff that i found:




"I imagined all of this before us, but there was never a face on the person I cared for. Now it's clear as the sun that that person has to be you."

"you've brought me from my elbows to my knees, i just need to know if you will help me to my feet so that we can walk to the glory of God's light together."

"My mind drifts to a complete state of ecstasy, the beats of my heart slow down as if taking the time to savor the moments, my body grows weak like it's preparing to gently grace your skin"

"then yall will get2 gether and be happy n years from now my pritty little babys will come ova ta your house and play with ur pritty babys and we'll all have lots of fun lol"

"energy drink for my soul"
