hey y'all!!

sorry its been so long for an update...

lets see, first try ended (guess who got all a's)  and thus began college app season- so far i have been accepted to montana state with 2 scoloships- but montana is a loooong way from home and i have my eye set on the u of m twin cities, who i haven't heard from yet.

second tri is in full swing, taking a cooking class and thats fun,  and a hard english class thats a lot of work!!  my teachers this try only update grades once a week or take a long time to get things in the grade book so it looks like my grades are worse than the are... :)

on sunday the 9th we had my grandfathers memorial, but we also had a billiard here in mn so not many people came ( we think is was tom that sent the storm to keep people away :)

sense being CLEARED for alpine skiing, it has been going really well, having lots of fun and just taking it easy...

on the other side of my life
i have had many appointments/ tests related to my hearing loss and we have opted for a personal FM system that i will own (compared to the school owning it).  i wear hearing aid looking ear pieces that actually are just receivers and then i have a phone sized box thing that picks up the person thats wearing it and sends it to my ear pieces, that then put that sound into my head.  we chose this over hearing aids because it only amplifies what i am trying to listen to (teacher, parents at dinner in a restaurant )  it even has a group setting so that when i work in groups of 5 at school i can just put it on a desk and it will amplify only them.
we are on the road to getting them but it looks like jaunary some time (insurance needs to prior approve) and then friday i meet with the vision and hearing teachers at school to work some more accommodations so that school is not so hard.

but other than that stuff my other appointments aren't tell after the first of the year. :)
i also have a cold, no fun.  i am surprised i have been able to focus to type this... i could  not when i tried homework :)


5 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!  can't wait.  I'm playing tuba at church on christmas eve :) :) :)

happy holidays,
<3 hannah

tuba Christmas

merry tuba Christmas!  for those of you that don't know, tuba christmas is an event were hundreds of tuba players gather to play christmas carols- there are lots of them all across the country and beond so google it to see if you can make a concert, its pretty cool!!!

then today... I went skiing.  YUP THAT MEANS I WAS CLEARED! we have ski practice with the team tomorrow so that will be fun :)


also the special hearing test came back looking normal!!! YAY!  so now were looking at other options besides amplifiers (hearing aids).  YAY!  they are all a lot cheaper and easier to manage :)
that appointment is tomorrow

we start a new tri tomorrow so that means all new classes...  but i ended with all 'a's first tri so that was wonderful :)

oh and tonight we had a girl scout camp planning meeting and it was really fun :0) can't wait for camp in january!!!

voting in COOKIES! a rant on the 2012 election

hi y'all!!!

life is CRAZY!  halloween being the most of it :)  have a looooong list of to dos before the 31st!

we have a 5 day weekend off of school!!! ya!!  I slept tell NOON today!!! :)

i have had a good couple of weeks. although my doc still won't sign the clearance form for skiing and i still can't drive :P

funny store;  on the way back from my music retreat, mom and i stopped at a bakery in red wing were we found that they were having a 'cookie election'  so we got to obama cookies and posted a pic of us with them to Facebook.  then the commenting started (just so we are clear on this, even though i can not vote this election, i have very strong views)

mary- you bought loser cookies...
me- :( well at least we did not buy 'you have to have your baby cause there is no other choose' cookies
me- or college dept cookies
me- or lets build more unnessisary tank cookies
me- or i hate the environment cookies
mom- wow. sounds like hannah has a strong opinion...
mary- wonder where she gets that from
mom- from her dad of course
mary- hannah, you should try the unnecessary tank cookies, they have nuts and chocolate chips, and are great!
mom- mary... dont egg the kid on...
verena- i am quite enjoying myself
misty- way to go hannah! you forgot the 'you cant vote because your 90 and don't hold a drivers license any more' cookie
me- well mary, at least the obama cookies are 47% off
mary- misty, you should try the 'i can vote 10 times because they don't ask for ID' brownies, they are 2 for 1.

this year in MN we are voting on voter registration as well as the marriage reform (VOTE NO!)

sorry.

man i wish i was 18

best election ever




some of my friends are 18 and can vote, but are not going to because 'there one vote won't matter'.
EVRY VOTE MAKES A DIFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT VOTE, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLANE ABOUT ANYTHING.  this is YOUR chance to make a CHANGE! let your voice be heard, no matter what party you support!

to lighten the mood :)

14 days tell halloween
19 days tell the election!!!


ya! well thats about all at the kiresuk house!!!
we finally got the swamp monster up!! :)  yay  halloween!!!
