The End of Junior Year

Today was the last Day 2 of my junior year. First block, everyone just chatted. I snapped a few pictures. And Jordan inspired us all; he's such a kindhearted guy. Second block, we watched Hercules, haha. During 5th period, I went to study hall for a bit then went to take my meds. I met DeAndre in the hallway as I was walking back towards my study hall and we went to the library. Gee joined us after a short time and we discussed our plans for hanging out after school with everyone; I had to call Alley and be sure of the plan, haha. Then Brittany and Sarah appeared out of nowhere. It's been so long since I've seen Sarah so I was really happy to see her, but her hugs really hurt. I went to chat with Mrs. Strosnider during 6th period like I usually do. Then last block, I got to relive a part of my freshman...that photosynthesis song by N-Science, haha. Overall, my last day of junior year was great...but not as great as what followed.

A group of friends and I met up at Sherando Park to hang out, basically just eating, chatting, and playing around. The people who were there (at one point or another) were: Alley, Taylor, DeAndre, Gee, Kaira, Jack, Lauren, Megan, Hubert, Cali, and Cristian. Megan and Lauren didn't end up staying for the food, they went to Kasey's house instead. While everyone else went off to shop for the food and stuff, Megan, Gee, Lauren, and I were chatted about some stuff. The four of us saw Jon and Kyle; Jon was biking and Kyle was skateboarding. I shouted something like "Hey losers!" to them and then Jon said something about how they weren't losers, haha. I fixed that by saying, "I love you guys" to them.

Later on, I watched Cali, Cristian, Hubert, and Jack play Ninja. It was really funny. Alley and Taylor jumped in for the second round. Then Cali, Alley, and I had a short round of Ninja; it's a fun game but it's hard to play since I'm a slow person, haha. The seven of us then proceeded to go by the lake and walk around and just goof off with each other. We tried skipping rocks, which didn't work out so well. We were just standing around when Jack's mum showed up...with a kitten! He got a kitten for his birthday! We all stood there saying 'awwwww' and petting the kitten; I love kittens. After that, we walked back to the cars and I got dropped off at home. Everyone else is probably at Jack's house right now...with the kitten! I wish I could be there with them, but I have class tonight so I can't.

Today didn't sparkle. Today was shining. I'm not upset about my junior year being over. I'm having fun and making lots of memories with people I really care about. My summer is going to be amazing. I can't wait for what's to come.

Side Notes:
- SCABIES!
- I hugged Jack; he's so adorable.
- The torch has been passed and it burns strongly. I will not let DeAndre down.

The Last Day 1 of Junior Year

Well, today was the last Day 1 of my junior year. Now, you might be expecting me to rant about how much I hate Day 1s, but I'm not going to since it is the last one of this school year. Today was actually a pretty good day for the most part. I'm just going to blab about my day, like I usually do.

I stopped by the auditorium to say hi to Kasey, Megan, and Lauren. Then, I went to the library and met with my weirdos and somehow found myself sitting and talking with Emily. I was turned around for one second and all of a sudden Deepak (Tomy) appeared and then Nathan joined shortly after. I didn't really contribute to the conversation at that point. Claire came by and asked me to sign her yearbook so I did. And then the bell rang for first block.

Right before first block began, I saw Everly walking in the hallway and decided to go over to her. I think I was saying her name in that really affectionate voice, which people find creepy. She said something along the lines of "Begone, back to the abyss" as I was "chasing" her. My response to that was something like "I'm not from the abyss, I love you."  As expected, there were people who didn't show. We just ended up watching a movie, the Ernest Green something. We didn't get to finish it, but it was a nice movie. It almost brought me to tears. My last day of history went well.

After first block, I went to take my morning meds and hurry off to the library. Alexa, Deepak (Tomy), Aarti, Sidney, and I watched Mean Girls! Since I arrived a little late, I didn't get to see the beginning but neither did Sidney. I've already seen the movie before though. I honestly really love that movie. My favorite part in the movie is this: "Do you even go here?"//"No...I just have a lot of feelings." Ah, it's such a great movie. I love the ending of it too. I completely forgot that Janis and Kevin get together, haha. Such a weird couple but so great! 

Study hall was amusing today. Jon and Hubert were having a "sword" fight. Their choice of weaponry was two long rolls of gift wrapping paper. Taylor recorded it while I happily snapped pictures with my camera. Needless to say, study hall was great. Lunch was also great. I signed DeAndre's "yearbook" with a message that I think he enjoyed. I've been learning the ways of the dark side from him, haha. He has taught me well. He even said something like "The torch has been passed" and that made me feel proud.

During 6B, I found out my final grade for anatomy. I got an A- for the year, which I'm happy about. All I wanted was an A of some sort and I got it. I chatted with Mrs. Britton until it was time for last block. I always love chatting with her. I wish I could have stayed longer and continued that conversation. If I'm lucky enough, I'll be able to pick back up with it during 6B tomorrow. I'm going to miss chatting with her. I'll have to start catching her after school next year so we can still chat.

Last block almost ruined my day, because Mrs. Bodenschatz wouldn't let me go see Alley. I was really looking forward to being in Latin with her today so she wouldn't have to be alone. Instead, I ended up playing Illusia 2 on my iPad and listening to music. It still turned out to be a good day despite that. 

When I got on the bus, I noticed Matthew in the back and secretly said "YES!" inside my head. He drives to school sometimes so I was happy to see him on the bus today; I gave him a hug. I told him that we'll probably hang out over the summer to which he said something like "We better" and that really made me happy. I definitely will be seeing him over the summer, and Elizabeth (his twin sister) and Paul too. I have to see them at least once. We live so close by to each other that I'm sure I'll be seeing them. 

Today was a wonderful day. I don't know why but some time either after first block or second block, the only thought I had was this: Everything is sparkling. No, I wasn't on anything and I wasn't actually seeing sparkles. I'm not sure how to explain what I mean, but I could just feel the air sparkling. It doesn't make any sense and I probably sound like I've been using some drug but this is how today felt. My last Day 1 of my junior year sparkled. I hope tomorrow shines.

Side Note: 

- I swear I'm not on drugs...

Comfortable Day

Today was a pretty wonderful day; there's only one and half days of school left. I'm sad that this year is ending, but I'm happy because it happened. Today is one of those days that I'll try to remember for a long time. 

During first block in CIS II, we spent most of our time goofing on and chatting, like we usually always do. And by we, I mean the following people: Casey, Cassy, Marie, Ashley, Loganne, Jordan, and myself. Oh, and Mrs. Bodenschatz of course. Towards the end of class, Loganne decided to present her PowerPoint project and that sparked a chain reaction. Cassy, Casey, and Jordan presented after her. I think I'm going to present on Wednesday because it is something fun and I don't feel shy around these people. I'm free to be who I am around them. 

Second block was amazing. We watched some more of The Great Gatsby and had a good time laughing at Daisy and making fun of all of the kissing between her and Gatsby. That movie is so goofy and Daisy is just stupid. We all can't wait until the new movie comes out. It looks like it'll be a good movie. Needless to say, AP English 11 has been awesome. My class is perfect. 

Sixth period was good too. I talked to Mrs. Strosnider like I usually do and chatted with Libby S. for a bit. Mrs. Strosnider still can't believe how fast the year has gone and I can't either. Junior year has passed by so fast. Anyway, Libby and I were chatting with Mrs. Strosnider about SOLs, GPAs, valedictorians, and the like. It was fun. 

And last but not least, ANATOMY! There were only four of us today, including me. It was me, Casey, Deepak (Tomy), and Mikayla. While Mikayla was making up a test, the three of us blew bubbles for a little bit. Blowing bubbles made me feel like a little kid again. I'm tempted to go look around the house now to see if I can find some bubbles. I spent, or rather wasted, a bunch of time trying to find Billy Andrews. He's really difficult to find, and yet he always appears at the most random times. I got fed up with trying to find him so I just gave up and went back to Mrs. Britton's room. And for part of the class after that, the three of us chatted while Mikayla played Minecraft and Mrs. Britton graded papers and laughed at videos that she was watching. We ended up watching anime together, which was cool. I'm actually glad that it was only the four of us. Of course, it would have been nice if Andy showed up but I know that he's not coming anymore. It'll just be the four of us again on Wednesday. I'm not complaining though, I like it that way. 

The next day and a half will be fun. Then, I have graduation to look forward to. And then, going to the movies with Alexa and some people. After that, I don't really have any plans.  I'm sure I'll make plans though. 

Side Note:

- I never talk about what goes on at lunch. Well, nothing too out of the ordinary happened today except I got rid of all of that junk food. Alley, Taylor, Gee...I love those three.

- I haven't been taking that many pictures. I'll be okay without them though. I'll remember what I can for as long as I can. Whatever I don't remember, I'll trust that my classmates and friends will. I'll remember this year for as long as I can.

First Blog Post

I've been thinking about graduation for a long time, not so much my own as much as the graduation of my fellow seniors. I never really cared much in my freshman or sophomore year, so why do I care so much now? My own cousin and a few friends graduated last year, but it didn't sink in, it didn't bother me. I was fine with them graduating. 

I guess it bothers me more now because I am a junior. I'm one year closer to graduation myself. I've realized that once the current seniors go, I'll finally be a senior. I don't want to be sad about them leaving, but I can't lie to myself about this, I know I'm sad. I don't want them to leave. While it's true that I don't know all of them, some of them are still very important to me. I'm afraid of losing them, even the ones that I don't know anything about. I hate having that feeling. 

Oh, and people tick me off. I don't understand why we have to find fault in each other. We can't just hug and hold hands and get along, can we?  

On a happier note, I got the chance to talk to someone I've wanted to talk to for a while now. I need to be more social. And tomorrow is bound to be a good day, no matter what.  

...I caved, I created a blog...how long will this last?
