Homecourt: means if you put someone down you must give them 2 put ups

2 PUT DOWNS: On Monday I called this Italian restaurant in my town thats owned by a very rich Italian man, to ask them for a sponsorship. His wife answered the phone and coldly turned me down. But I did not get discouraged because in life you are always going to be told no but you have to keep trying or you will get no where and I want to get somewhere.


Then today I went to a buy, sell, and trade clothing store. They didnt want to buy any of my harly worn, good quality clothing they wanted to give me store credit. The store was full of faded clothing and smelly high heels I dont want store credit i needed cash. The snobby lady at the counter said "We only take brand names like Hollister and Abercombie and Fitch". ok I dont wear those brands because they are made by poor under paid children in third world counties sorry my non faded, non conformist clothes arent good enough for her! anyways now I'm just venting.


2 PUT UPS: Last weekend my mom and I bought these cute, girly tweezers for only 99 cents. Later that day my mom had a bright idea to go back and buy a bunch of those tweezers to sell at school and work to fundraise. I didnt think people would like them that much because none of the girls at my school wanted to buy them I guess they prefer to be harry, but they were a hit at my moms job. So this whole week people have been ambushing her cubicle to buy tweezers!


Last week one of the letters I sent out was to a lady whose husband was my basketball couch when I was in the 3rd grade. I havent seen this women in years but I remembered that she was an architect and since thats what I want to be when I finish school I decided to look her up in  the phone book and send her a letter. So Tuesday I got an email from her saying the she and her architectural firm will help sponsor me!
And today I got my first donation on my blog from someone other than my awesome aunt!
I'm getting closer and closer to Europe each day!
