Hola Fuzzy!
I just wanted to update on several points (It feels like I always start a post out like this...).
Firstly, yesterday was my first (highschool/sprinter) track meet! I ran the 100m, the 4x100m (relay) and jumped the long jump. Let's say it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. Soo in the 100m, usually the runners are split into "heats" of runners with the same speed. Not this time. I was put in the 2nd fastest heat, and I just started sprinting this year. I got dead last. Not by that much, but still. In the long jump, I scratched all 3 times (you get three tries, scratch = over the line). And finally, in the 4x100m, all was going well. I did well on my part (I'm a starter), however, my teamate accidentally dropped the baton in her handoff to my other teamate. But, I'm still bery proud of our team :)
Secondly, yesterday I went to a wedding! The last time I went to a wedding was when I was around 6. The ceremony was GORGEOUS! It was candlelight inside the War Memorial Chapel at Virginia Tech. Rachel, the bride, looked stunning! Then the reception was nearby, and three words: Open Candy Bar. I'm too young to drink (haha 15), so I drank coke. They played the electric slide, cupid shuffle, chacha slide, etc. The food was good, the cupcakes (they had a cupcake cake) were delicious, and the atmosphere was awesome. Whoever says that a wedding can't be set up in under 4 months was dead wrong (the bride had told her mom she was getting married around 4 months before the wedding).
Well, I have to go for now, but I'll write again later. My sister's friend is here, and I'm starving.
Well See ya!

Spring Challenge and More
Hey Fuzz!
Ahh it's a new day! Unfortunately here, it's gloomy, windy, gray, cloudy, treatening rain, and around 37 degrees. However, a new day, nonetheless! Well I guess it's time for some updates!
Firstly, as you may remember, my great uncle died on march 18. He had gone into hospice around a week earlier, and I was planning to go down to see him next week (we all thought he had at least a month left). On the morning of march 18, terminal lung cancer decided to take my final goodbye away. Sadly, I could not go to the funeral either. It was the day after his death in florida. Even though I really wanted to attend, there was no possible way to get myself there in time.
Secondly, track is going quite well. I'm enjoying sprints. Although I'm nowhere near the fastest, I still enjoy running with them. This week, there will be a meet (saturday). I'm in the 100meters and the 4x100 (relay) and the long jump. I have no idea why he put me in the long jump ( my furthest as of now is 8ft11in.... its really short). Anyways, so track is really fun :)
Thirdly, today will be extremely stressful. Today I have all my core classes (night schedule did this), and out of the 4 classes, I have 3 tests. In math, the test will determine the grade for the 6 weeks, as well as (possibly) the year. Ahh stressed.
Fourthly, I'm currently 80 days pullfree if you exclude today. :) I have also set up a new challenge (which I've posted on trichworld.com and dailystrength.org already), and here it is:
Spring Challenge:
Cubs: march 20 - 27
Lambs: march 28 - april 4
Chicks: april 5 - april 12
Pups: april 13 - april 20
Kittens: april 21 - april 28
Hatchlings: april 29 - may 6
Piglets: may 7 - may 14
Fawns: may 15 - may 22
Foals: may 23 - may 30
Ducklings: may 31 - june 7
Calfs: june 8 - june 15
Infants: june 16 - june 20.
Have fun and enjoy!
Well, that's all to update for today. Chow!

Update
Hey Fuzzy!
Sorry for such a late update.
Firstly, it is gloomy here again. For the past several days, there has been no sun, but rather a bunch of gray clouds. Sort of dull if you ask me.
Secondly, track has been fun. I'm super unhappy with my running, though. I'm not a good sprinter at all. Nor am I good at jumping. It's not fair. I'm always in last :(
Thirdly, today in gym there was an awkward situation. One of my friends was talking to my other friends, saying things like "haha and then you'll pull your hair out!". Neither of them know I have trich, so AWKWARD!
Fourthly, the new school schedule is messing me up! I get to bed late, have to wake up early (homework) and then track, shower, if time - homework, school repeat. It sucks. I'm so tired once I get home, as well as once I wake up. I just want to sleep, ya know?
Fifthly, today I got stuck in french for an hour and 35 minutes. On the new schedule, it is only supposed to be 1:15. Today, however, SOLs were being taken, so our class was extended 20 mintues. My friends and I all thought we were going to die (my french teacher is evil).
Sixthly, I made a new event! I have it posted on these things: trichworld (under events), dailystrength (under trichotillomania - discussions), and yahoo (under the trichees and teentrich groups under discussions).
Seventhly, I am currently 74 days pf! :)
Well, I'm dead tired, so goodnight! :)

Hey Fuzz..
Though the weather is beautiful, today is terrible. Today, I found out that my "uncle" (tech. great uncle, but since I don't have a real uncle, he acted as one) Jack is now in hospice. In september I found out that he had terminal lung cancer, but now that he's in hospice... And to make things worse, I also found out that I have a cavity. This is my 2nd one ever, the 1st one being in 1st grade. I've been brushing 3 times a day, and rising my mouth with ACT twice a day. Also, I have to finish a class essay for a test in 20 mins (I'm not that far) and take a math test. And I can't concentrate.
I can't talk anymore. Everytime I talk about this I burst out crying.
So Maybe I'll Update Tonight.
Off To School Soon (Parents won't let me take a sick day)

So Mad... Need to Vent!!!
Hey Fuzzy.
Today I want to talk about a sensitive subject. Okay, so on facebook, this girl, Alicia, decided to have the status "Say Yes!!! Abortion". I'm prolife, so naturally I stated kindly the reasons why I believe abortion is wrong. It ended up with her joking about self harm (which I've dealt with [I'll tell you another day about it]) and insulting Christians and the bible. I'm really offended to the point of tears. And she talks about how her life is so much worse than mine. She doesn't know me, nor does she even know what I've been through. I've been verbally abused (breakup gone bad), my aunt is in remission from lung cancer, I have trich, I've dealt with self harm, my uncle has terminal lung cancer, etc. Who is she to insult me? Ugh, I'm just so MAD!
I really need to vent.
Still pf. 65th day.

Hey Fuzz!
Wow, I haven't updated in a while. My bad :P
Anyways, on Monday track started. I decided to do sprints this year, and let me tell you... Best. Decision. Ever. It is so much fun! I mean, when we do longer distances, it's torture (haha just like long distance running). But when we do short sprints, the feeling is Amazing! I'm completely sore now :P Worth it? Heck Yes. Unfortunately, since it's from 9-11 am (nightschool, remember?) I barely have time to do my homework. After I get home, it's showers, eat, then school. But yea. Worth it :)
Okay, so my history teacher is officially evil. I used to look forward to that class everday, as well as my friends. However, since nightschool he has started a new notetaking system. Since we have to write stupid stuff already in our notes (he checks it), I miss out on all the details... then we get "pop quizzes" with 4-5 questions. We've had two so far - I've failed both. The first one was because I couldn't spell nor remember anything (Stupid Notes!). The second one, which I read the chapters it was on 5-7 times, I still failed. Why? Because I misspelled everything. It's in my jeans! No one in my family can spell... I still spell consoler 5 ways (consoler, consoleur, conselur, conseluer, consulor, etc.). These are the only two things that I have EVER failed in history. E.V.E.R.
I would like to update you on my trich! Okay, so I'm currently (including today) 60 days pf! I'm super syched! I haven't really gotten any urges for a while now. And if I do, I know how to handle it :) Of course I know that I can relapse anytime, but for now I'm satisfied with my progress. This is also the most I've ever been pf (since I started). I tried once in october... which lasted less than 2 weeks. So I'm happy about that. :)
Oh yea. Sometime soon I would love to write a letter to myself. Maybe during lunch. Not sure. But yea. :)
Well, I have to get started on the evil wretched homework (mostly history..... :/) So goodnight! :)
P.S. Recently I bought 3 new albums: "We are not Alone" & "Dear Agony" (Breaking Benjamin) and "Flyleaf" (Flyleaf). Two songs in particular on these albums speak to me (both by flyleaf): 1. Cassie 2. Red Sam. Maybe it's just the music, maybe it's not. Either ways, they do.
Well, Goodnight!
