I have had school on my mind lately. Mostly because I have been doing my stupid summer work. Let's see, I had read two of the 3 books for Adv. Hon. English II. The one I just started today is Silas Marner. I am on page 5 and it sucks so bad I don't want to read on. And I have started my Adv. Hon. Algebra II work. It is so hard. Most of it I have no idea how to do or have never seen it in my life! Lana doesn't even know how to do it, which isn't much of a surprise to me. I can already tell that Algebra is going to be my hardest and worst class next year. Why is it that my math classes are most dramatic for me? I know I am going to have many nights crying over homework, just like last year and the year before. What a surprise! I mean, I make A's in math and I can do it. But I feel that it is really hard and I jsut plain hate it. At this point on I really won't be using any of the math I learn. Why can't we learn math and sciences up to a certain need point and then take classes that will prepare us for what we want to be. I mean a UN field officer in Africa will not need to know the consecutive odd interger sides of a triangle whose perimeter is 27!
Hopefully my other classes shouldn't be too bad. Let's see... I'm taking Drama, Adv. Hon. English II, Adv. Hon. Chemisty, Adv. Hon. Algebra II, AP US History, and Hon. Latin II. Why must I be smart? This is going to suck. Anyone who could possible find school fun and easy is either in classes way under their lever or just plain insane! The summers are no way long enough for my to get everything done. At least I will have soccer, tennis, and Model UN to add on to my stress, but at least providing some fun. lol. I am packed.
Well... if anyone else would like to vent their stress on my site please do so. It feels much better once you see it written before you. Have a nice day :)

I have a sprained ancle and a sprained wrist. :( Is that how you spell ancle? haha. I am one of the worst spellers in the world! haha. Anyway, it sucks and it hurts!

-Dana :(

ANKLE IS SPELLED WITH A "K"!!!! Just thought you all would like to know because Brian King is a genius.

I'm so tired! Today my dad, my friend Tara, and I went to a park to have lunchs where we were chased by rather larger and rabid geece, and then we played tennis. I got my racquet today too! I was $90 marked down from like $200 so I was happy. It's white and black and is a Wilson. It's a rather large 110 sq. in. head but it will be a great racquet to start me off playing well. Later on I will advance to a midsized head. I want to pretty much stick with Wilson, though. It's my favorite. But Prince and I think Head are also very good racquet brands as well.
Well, that's pretty much it. I'm not doing much here in Louisville, KY. But I am having time to do my summer work which is a good reason I'm not running around with friends each day in Murfreesboro. I can't wait to see Anna tomorrow when she comes in from Zach's brother's? wedding. Well.... I'm gonna go! I'll talk to you all soon!

There's a new tennis player to watch out for. 1 minuet after the British no. 1 player Tim Henman shocked the crowds at Wimbledon, 18 year old Andy Murray, underdog British player, started his game against a know tennis star, the 14th seed Radek Stepanek. Against all odds Murray beat out Stephanek 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Could this young tennis star win Wimbledon and bring back the Championship to the English? Only time will tell........

I'm so excited it's Wimbledon season :) and already my favorite male player has won a match! Roger Federer, from Sweden, is the number one seeded male player in the world. And despite he lose in the finals to Nadal at the French Open, I'm sure he can pull through on this one! Oh and he is sooo hott esp. when he plays, hehe.

Anyway, here is some random fact about Wimbledon:
1877 was the year of the first Wimbledon championships.
Wimbledon was not played during each of the World Wars.
Though it is held in England, the last Britain to win the men's was Fred Perry in 1936.
The last British women's singles win was Virginia Wade in 1977.
Roger Federer won last year and the year before. Could this be his third year in a row?

Well, that's about it for now. I'll talk to you all soon!

This picture is my favorite. It is of me, Lana, Sarah, and Lauren. We have always wanted to get our pictures made and we finally did. We just got back from their house. It's so sad when we have to leave since we are like sisters, well maybe cousins, and never get to see each other. But when we do, we have the best times ever! Well, I'll talk to you guys later!

In Loving memory of my dog Sugar! We had 11 wonderful years together. You were always there for me, even when you didn't want to be. You never spoke back to me, and you always let me pour out my crazed mind and heart to you (if you were even listening while you slept, lol). I will love you with all of my heart forevermore, and I shall never forget you. I denied this day ever arriving but it has. So far-the-well to you. See you in the next life!

Yours truely,
Dana Lea :)

P.S. The picture looks better smaller cause it's from my phone.

You can support the One Campaign, also, by purchasing a One band, like that of the livestrong. They are $1 each and can be purchased on the One Campaign site. You don't have to purchase to support though. Right now you can go sign the One Declaration and letter to be sent to good 'ol President Bush. Check it out!
-Dana :)

This is a campaign endorsed by peoples such as Brad Pitt that I feel very strongly about. This campaign was set up by Americans for Americans to help fight global AIDS and extreme poverty. You can go to the website and show your support, for free, by signing the Declaration. When I have a career I will be very lucky if it will concern something along these lines. For I want to be a peacekeeping officer in the UN. I have always wanted to live/work in African nations and do mission type work. I want to help improve the lives of people who have literally nothing. Even if it lasts for just a lifetime, I wanna know that I made a difference. Together we can work to half the amount of poverty by the next decade! Please, if this is something that you want to help stop, go to http://www.one.org and make a difference!

Hello Friends. I just got done watching the Jackson case resultes. I really though that he was guilty. I still think so. He's had some good albums but he's a weird one, haha. So what have you guys been up to in the lately. I'm in Louisivlle, KY. This is where I feel most at home, even though you guys are still back in Murfreesboro....
Let's see.... what can I say?... I saw star wars with cameron and was that your girlfriend? cause I don't think I've ever met her. She seemed nice though. I really liked the movie and am made that it has taken me this long to get into it, haha. I wanna watch them all and the go see the III one again. I also need to change my profile pic, lol. But I have been having trouble up loading it but maybe it will work on this comp.
My dog sugar is doing better I think. She is having surgery today on something that is lodged in her intestines. And her liver should repair itself on its own so I'm just hopeing for the best. Suger is 11 and I am 15 so we have been through alot together. Well...... I should be coming back on the 16th of July, just in time for Lauren, hehe, and then we leave for Texas on the 24th for about 2 weeks. So we have to deffinatly do something in that short span of time. Welp.... that's about all I have to say. Also chack my dana_the_best xanga site for any up dates on my boring life, lol. Bye guys!
