It has been such a crazy week and this is the first time I've had a chance to spend on the computer! This week has been so much fun, and I remembered how much I actually love homecoming. Tuesday was decades day, so I dressed as a flapper girl from the 1920s, Wednesday was PJ day, (best day ever!) and today was Thriller Thursday, so I dressed as a Parkhill Raider cheerleader, oh the memories! This week has been so fun and I can't believe its already Friday. Everyone wears their group shirts, mums and gets so spirited. It is my favorite day of football season, and Pacesetters get to perform our traditional routine, Horseshoe, which is chilling. We did our run through with the band today, and walked off the field with goose bumps, it was amazing. I will absolutely dedicate a blog to all homecoming pictures after this weekend is over. Tomorrow will be so fun and crazy and I can't wait. Stay tuned for pictures from all week. Sorry this isn't very detailed, but I need to get off to bed. Can't wait for the HC pep rally, even though it got moved to the morning and inside. It is normally outside in the afternoon..but oh well it should still be amazing. In honor of the 1994 JJ Pearce Pacesetter Captain Laura Welborn that was killed in a drunk driving accident the Friday Night of her senior homecoming, please remember to not drink and drive, and wear a purple ribbon in honor of her over your heart tomorrow.
Happy Homecoming Friday and Weekend!! Please remember to not drink and drive.

Movie Character Monday
So yesterday was the first day of Homecoming week, and each day of the week there is a dress up theme. It was movie character Monday, so Jackie and I dressed up as the Parent Trap twins. I was Annie and she was Halie. It was a fun day, although I think this week is going to be a pretty stressful week. Well today is Time Travel Tuesday and I'm a flapper from the 20s. Let's hope today is a good day!
Happy HOCO 2010!

Loving the Weekend
This was the definition of a lazy weekend, so far. Friday night we had a football game at Rockwall Heath and unfortunately we lost, but maybe the Homecoming game next week will make up for it. Even though we have lost twice now, I still see the class that Pearce has. Way to go Mustangs, love you mustangs. Today I woke up and went to the RISD college fair with Jackie and my dad. We went to a seminar called "How to get into the college of your choice." It wasn't the best of all seminars but I did learn a few things. Unfortunately it was raining so that made moving from building to building quite unpleasant. Although not all of the schools on my list were there a few were and I got information on them. My list is UT, UTSA for the cap program, Arizona, Mizzou, University of Georgia, and Vanderbilt. I only got info on UT/UTSA and Mizzou, but Mizzou had a lot of information. When I got home from the fair I started my research and did more looking at Mizzou and really like it so far. I definietly need to visit that one! After some research and relaxing, I got my nails done with mom, Sarah and April and ran around with them for a while. Jackie and Dad went to Austin for the UT/UCLA football game..which didn't end the way we had hoped. It was a pretty relaxing day which was very needed and I even got to skype with one of my best friends, Ronnie, for a little bit. tomorrow I start being a teacher's aide for Sunday School so hopefully that starts off well. That is it for now, but its HOMECOMING WEEK 2010, so there will be a lot to say about this coming week. Hopefully I can find the time to write about it so I don't have to do it all at once...that would also be an awfully long blog. Mustangs and Longhorns it's a big weekend for us, lets get it done! Homecoming and TX/OU! So sad I won't be at the Red River Rivalry, but I have to get ready for HOCO, guess the TV will have to do.
Go mustangs, hook 'em horns, and get excited for homecoming 2010.

Twins, Twins, Twins
So I thought I would make two posts in one day..waiting for Jackie to get ready to go to the store.
So in the junior class at Pearce we have a lot of twins, when I say a lot I mean 10 sets of twins and one set of triplets. There are a lot. The big upside to this is that we get to be in the Guinness Book of Worlds Records! We have also had people from the Dallas Morning News, and someone from the UK come take pictures of us for articles! It is really cool to be in this small group of people. Who would have known that being a twin could be a world record? I'll write more later.

Yom Kippur
Hello All,
I hope everyone had a great weekend and had a chance to relax, everyone knows I sure needed the extra sleep! Friday night, I went to services for Yom Kippur with my family, and then came back to my house for a nice home cooked meal before we started fasting. It was a nice quiet family dinner and a good way to start the weekend. On Saturday I woke up and lounged around the house and started getting ready to go to the teen service at Temple. The teen service was led by some of the DAFTY board and it went really well. It was nice to have a service just the teens, and it was very different than the usual High Holiday service. After leaving Temple, Jackie and I came home. I started my homework and just laid in bed. We went back for the Concluding service and then went off to the Coben's house for break the fast. I was so hungry by the end of the day!! At the Coben's I ate a little something, but Jackie, Sammi, Sophie and I were all still hungry so we went to Tourchy's Tacos and got chips and queso which was really fun! We went back to watch some of the UT/Tech football game, and at halftime Jackie, mom and I left. Some people came over to watch the rest of the game and hang out. Of course the horns won..hookem!! Well now I am off to do more homework and hopefully make some sideline sweetheart signs since we have a game this week and homecoming is next week! Maybe I'll have time to write more later, I want to write all about the Guinness Book of Worlds Records!
Hook em, Go Cowboys, and hope everyone had an easy fast,

Craziness of Junior Year
Hey there,
So I didn't really realize how crazy junior year would be until now. Everyone always says it is the hardest year and I just didn't understand how it could be so much harder than any other year, I mean its still school right? WRONG! It is so much more than just school, although that is the most important part, it is after school activities, ACT/SAT Prep, looking at colleges and just trying to be a teenager! I am just realizing all of this because this is the first week of this year that I have gotten stressed out...we are only 3 weeks into the year. In physics we have to make a mousetrap car, but luckily one of my best friends, Brooke was able to help me out with it! THANKS BROOKE I LOVE YOU!!!!!! Now that's finished, I am sure I have more to do, so I am gonna go finish up stuff with Grace. I just needed a little break, and this is a good break!! Thank god i started blogging :)
Hope this stress wears off soon,

Pictures!
Here are some pictures from the football game and pep rally!!

Eagle Season
Hey there,
Well it's been a few days since I've had a chance to write something so lets recap this weekend:
Friday-We had the best pep rally ever! Since we played our rivals, the Richardson High School Eagles, the theme of the pep rally was "eagle season, lets hunt the eagles," so everyone dressed up in camo all day and got really spirited. Some of the faculty even did a dance at the pep rally, which was one of the funniest thing that I have ever seen happen at Pearce. The football game was intense. We had a 12 year winning streak against the eagles and unfortunately that ended this year. The mustangs played a hard game and we almost came back to beat them. The final score was 44-42 so it was really close game and a hard loss for the Mustangs. The one thing that Pearce will always have is their class. JJP has some of the classiest people I've met. Richardson people are just so rude sometimes, they were spitting on the Pacesetters, booing us, and just overall had such bad sportsmanship. I understand the rival and getting into the game, but there is a way to have fun and that line was crossed. Mustangs; no matter what we always have our class, one win can't change that about us, and let them enjoy this high because it won't happen again! I LOVE YOU MUSTANG FOOTBALL BOYS!
Saturday-Saturday I lounged around the house then went to get breakfast with my dad. After that I went to SAT tutoring and got ready for my cousin, Trey's birthday party. His actual birthday is tomorrow but a lot of his friends met at Champps to watch the UT football game. HOOKEM! I had to leave early to go to my first BBYO event of the year! It was a 9/11 memorial project and it went really well. From there I went to Preston and Frankford for a little bit but then came home to video chat with my friend Ronnie...one of my best friends! love you :)
Sunday-today was a day full of homework and relaxing. In there was also a Sunday School teacher's aide training and a BBYO meeting. I got to go to lunch with Gina and our mom's which was fun. Now I am off to finish my homework and hopefully take a nap.
Remember to stay classy.

Happy New Year
Well Hello There,
If you are reading this now you are probably a fellow Jew relaxing at home with your family, or attending services in honor of the Jewish New Year. Today is a day to be spent with your family celebrating life, love, the new year and everything there is to be thankful for. I just got finished helping my mom cook, and soon I am off to get ready for a family lunch. Yes it is nice to have a day off from school, but that doesn't mean I don't have a ton of work to do...junior year is busy. Well just wanted to leave a quick post before I got started with the day. Happy New Year.
On another note, Pearce plays our rivals Richardson tomorrow. They always think they can beat us but haven't in many many years. It is always one of the most exciting games of the year and really shows how much spirit Pearce has. It is also our first pep rally and Pacesetters are performing a hip hop routine! I am so excited for tomorrow, it will be such a fun day around JJP. Look out eagles, its hunting season. Lets go mustangs!!!
Hunt the Eagles and Have a happy New Year, l'shana tova.

Catching Up
It has been a few days since I've been on here but I was out of town! Summer Kallah was so much fun. It was so nice just to get away and be with my amazing camp friends. We all got to catch up, relax, hang out, joke around and just spend time with each other. I got to see my best guy friends. I love that I have a group of guys who I can call "my boys." They are some of the best guys I've ever known. Besides just seeing my boys, I got to spend time with the 5 girls out of my group of friends from first session who went to Israel, and our friend Jacob went! We hadn't seen him in a few years and I missed him so much!! Camp friends really are the best friends you could have. You can connect with them on a different level than school friends and they just really understand you. I love my school friends but I just know my camp friends will be there through whatever, and they really have proved that to me, especially recently. Well me and Joey have ended....which really does suck, but I guess every good thing must come to an end. Ronnie and Sterling have really been there which makes it a little better, guess I really do have some good boys around me. Well I'm gonna go straighten my hair and head off to bed. It has been such a long day and I am very emotionally drained. Happy Jewish New Year!!

So Far This Week
Well hey there,
This week has been good. It's been only a little stressful and just wish it would go by a little faster. Pacesetters has been fun, and we are just getting ready for each football game, and our first pep rally next weekend! I am so excited for this weekend. I am going to NFTY Summer Kallah at Greene and I can't wait to see everyone!! It's gonna be so fun to catch up and see everyone. Although we have been home for over a month and I miss everyone more than I could ever imagine, I haven't gone a day without talking to at least one person. Well I don't have too much to write. But I'm sure I will have a lot to say after this weekend!
Stay dry in this gloomy weather,
Dani
