Rosie's Diaries: Living the Dream

Well, now I've done it. It's high time I get the opportunity to tryout for cheerleading. We have lived and breathed it for most of our lives and now I'm finally getting my opportunity to further my cheering at Kindly. I'm really nervous and excited about this! And I hope with my application and pictures I'm really showing my best!

Saving a copy of my pictures and application here until I can add it to my scrap book.

Name: Rosie Shark

SL Age: 18

Other clubs at KSU you're a member of:
*none yet! But I hope to join the drama club and one day I'll get my nerve up to pledge Delta!

Why do you want to be a KSU cheerleader?
*Because cheer=LIFE :D Plus, I rock it with the pom poms! I want to make magic happen and be a part of an award-winning team! I see cheer as my way of getting though to all our fellow students... bringing spirit, fun, and passion to those who are bleh. Oh, and helping inspire our athletes to achieve great victories through the cadence of yelling voices and the wearing of short skirts.

Why would you be an asset to our squad?
*I'm dedicated and love anything to do with a team. I may not have the availabilty to be on as much at the right times as other girls, but what I lack in scheduling flexibility, I more than make up for in S-P-U-N-K! :D I've had extensive cheer experience, after convincing my mom at an early age that I didn't want to be a part of the child beauty pageant scene. Four years of cheer at Laguna Beach High School in California polished off my already superb cheer skills and I learned not only to live CHEER, but to love it! I bring my enthusiasm and my skill, as well as my superb balance, my ability to work as part of a team, and my sparkling white smile!

If accepted to the squad you would need to purchase a 500L cheer hud, as well as hair and shoes if you did not have any that met our requirements. Would this be a problem?
*Not at all. Prolly have enough hair that would be sufficient! Haha.

Picture time! We all know cheerleaders gotta be cute so send us your three best photos!

**I'm also sending you a copy of my certificate from Woodward West!

Thank you for your consideration :) I am currently working hard practicing so I will be able to do my best at tryouts!

Rosie's Diaries: What's Happening? What's Going On? What Are You Doing?

Friday night at the dorm, and seems no one's around. Apparently Akasha has run into some financial issues and lost her room. I feel for her. Though it's cramped, we've parked her in our room, and we're hoping we don't get found out. I'm sure there are rules about how many people can share a room.

I spent some time last night showing a couple of new students around. It's always interesting to see things through other people's eyes. Kinda ironic too that I'd be showing others around a place I still feel that I am just getting to know. Not much seems to have changed since highschool when it comes to that clique-mentality, nor to that feeling that you need to always make the right choices when it comes to friends and groups.

It's been great being able to spend time with Aly again. We really were the best of friends when she used to live down the street from me when I was 8. Amazing sometimes that we have remained in touch and good to know that after all this time we can pick up kinda where we were that many years ago and now just get to hang out all the time! I was so sad when she packed up her roller skates and moved away with her family so long ago.

So, I don't know what possessed me... I don't have alot of free time. Between classes, studying, and working, my family has also put the added pressure on me of checking in on my Uncle who lives near school. I guess that's my fault for picking KSU to go to. It's not all bad and I care about my family, but I feel so spread thin and I've only been here a couple weeks! And in addition to all of that, I am now tutoring someone too. I didn't plan on the tutoring gig, but he was nice and really needed help in biology, so I agreed. Problem is that he's a frat boy and I'm not sure how to break this to my friends. I'm sure I'd get ridiculed to no end if Akasha and Jelly found out I had agreed to tutor one of the pretty boys of Kappa. Apparently, we're anti-greek societies... this week.

Well, time to stick my nose in a book for an hour before I head to work!

Rosie's Diaries: Homesick

Seems like my first few days at Kindly have flown by in a blur. Which, I guess I should be thankful for. Now that I've had a chance to slow down and take it all in, I'm not sure how 'at home' I feel here yet. It's a far cry from sunny california, and it's lovely to be able to see the seasons changing and feel winter coming on. I know I'm in for much more dramatic weather than I experienced while growing up in the California sunshine.

Although I couldn't make the trip with Jelly and Aka, I'm happy to report that I was able to secure my room to share with Jell. Of course, leave it to Jelly and Aka... they did their part to make me feel welcome upon my arrival with posters plastered on *my* side of the room of Erkel and Screech. Bitches! Paybacks, that's all I'm sayin.

I don't know why I'd describe this feeling as being homesick. What's to miss? My bestest friends ever are here with me! Sure there's no mom and dad, but really,.. YAY for that :D It's just that it's not the same as highschool, and I'm not sure whether or not that's a good thing yet. The girls here all seem so much older. Everyone seems really nice and I look forward to meeting lots of new people. I have worked so hard for the last couple years to save up the money to go away to school, so I'm really looking forward to this year! I still have to work to be able to keep up with everything going on here, which totally sucks! Already I missed the Harvest Festival this weekend. It hasn't been until just now that I've been able to really spend any time with my friends or start unpacking! One thing's for sure! I'm going to need alot more winter clothes! Ooooh, shopping!
