Graduation!

Today is Graduation, I won't be sad.. or at least I won't cry. I'm excited for the challenges and beginnings that SCAD will bring to the table. This has been my favorite year by far, and without the friends- this year would have sucked. [To put that eloquently] I've loved the Office parities, tennis games/ hangouts, and the piano parties that have happened this year. They've all made me smile.

I haven't blogged in a couple of days, but mostly my days have consisted of grad parties and hanging out with the Bots and Julie- some of my favorite people by the way. Oh, and I think- I have definitely improved my Ping-Pong game-- complements of Alex and our Art History Study sessions.

OK, but the best part of graduating..... the gifts are AWESOME. I've never felt so grateful for all the gifts that I've gotten. It was sad because in school I always had my birthday over Thanksgiving break, and no one would remember.... so I think this whole graduation thing has made up for my lost birthdays.

Well.... about 30 more mins till I got to go line up for Graduation. See Ya

"Bittersweet"--- Thanks Lorel for the word

Today was the last day of high school. Lorel was right, it was bittersweet. I'm really excited to start my new life at SCAD, but I'm going to miss school a lot too. I cried today, along with a bunch of other people. I NEVER cry at school, but today was so different. My day started with a final in Contemporary Literature- I think I passed. Anyway, the real part of my day started when I went to 2nd. I got to show the kids how efficient and demanding I am at office jobs. Angel, Sabrina, Tyler-Fan, Kiki, Raymond, and John (aka Dr. Pepper) - oh and me went to fold the Harrison Herald newspaper. So if it looks bad blame it on Kiki- she was slacking cause she was gassing (aka talking about Gabe, or weird stuff). So after being with the kids and getting yelled at for being too loud and stuff 3rd period came about. We had a master class with Jaret Williams, who was charming and extremely nice. Anyway, he played this really heart-wrenching song that was for his Harrison Graduation and it was downhill from there. The song out everyone in a mood that left a teary effect. Today was the last day, it was so sad. I'm going to miss them all the most. They are my piano class. They are all my friends. We are a family, we have opinions of each other, and nag each other and blame each other. But at the end of the day, we all love each other. So as a last hooray, I'll write a little something about everyone. (In alphabetical order, not by favoritism)

Amanda - Sweet, funny, smart. You're an all around great girl. And you play my Dad really well too.
Ana - Oh Ana, I loved to immiate you. You have such personable qualities, and you'll go places as far as Asian studies.
Angel - Ha, remember when we played tennis and you rode in my car. It was your first time in a non-adult car ride. You'll prob always remember that, I still remember mine. We had fun that day. We had fun a lot of the days, I'll miss you An-gle.
Ben - Ben, we played tennis so much this year. It was fun tho, meeting Grendel and such, then we wanted Grendel back. Oh Grendel.
Bryce - From the bus to the keys, we've seen it all.
Garrett - "Hold on, someone left a book over Xmas break" "Oh yeah, it was probably Garrett." You were the kid who would steal food, and leave stuff. You were the scapegoat, it was funny.
James - Magic Kid! Ha, you're funny James. Hope Magic brings you next to Merlin.
Kassandra -It was always close to the end of the year, and we had to all come together for the final project. They were tough, but fun in the end.. I Guess?
Laura - Oh my little daughter. You will achieve great things with your music, talent, charm, and smarts. I love you little dear.
Lorel - We became friends this year. It was fun with all the jokes and stuff, sometimes played on me... We had bundles of fun. I know you thought I was mean, but I was just adding to the Micheal/ Dwight thing. Of course I'm the Micheal, you're the Dwight. We're a comedy duo.
Mary Catherine - Yeah, we had some good times.
Matthew - Matty O, you inspired me on my comedy tour this year. Hopefully we'll share a one night stand. But no Matthew, you helped me understand what it is like to be around a person with a Handicap. Thanks for the times.
Miranda -Oh Miranda, you were always gone. On a cruise or at Disney. I saw you grow up I think, and you're cool.
Robert - My little Bobby, oh how I will miss you. We really understood each other. You read my stupid books, and listened to my stories. I really hope you go to Julliard - you deserve it Bobs.
Sabrina - Ha. Oh Sabs. We've laughed together and had good times, especially anything having to do with Kiki.
Sam - Piano Thursday, just so you know. And.. it is almost 11:25 - aka my birthday, and in 1 minute (11:26) it is yours. Happy Birthday Sam
Shelli - Shelli, you are the little sister of Sam. You also are nice.
Tyler - Oh Daddy, I'm going to miss you. We shared lunch together in the Ghost Town of C lunch, and we just had a lot of laughs.

Lastly, the goodbyes were so hard today. I left practically right after I cried. I found out Bobby teared up, Angel, Sam, and Kassandra really let the tears flow. I really appreciated the tears. Thanks.

Last Week

So this is my LAST week of high school, never thought it would happen so fast. I'm going to miss the friends I made, that is probably the only thing I will miss. I think I've talked about this before.

Anyway, I'm watching the Office on my Graduation Gift iPod. Michael is singing James Blunt -I love that part.

Well, the APs went fine. The first one was Psych, and it went Ok. The environment was not so great. Morticia;/ Cher was being pretty psycho. But the second go around was better. I took Art History
in Mulberry with about 10 other people. It was really pleasant, and laid back.

Tonight is my first and last Chorus concert and my last Orchestra concert... Bobby is playing tonight... he is going to Grieg it.

The Piano Class... kind of

So today was "documentary day." I thought it was going to be so much better, but it turned out to be just any other day -except for the fluffy mic that was put in his face the whole time. Gosh, I thought the movie was going to be about our opinions of him.. obviously not. They just filmed our class doing a reading assignment (my favorite because we don't have to play, but we ended up playing anyway), and him being pompous and telling what an interval is. Hello, we all know what an interval is.

But anyway, my first AP ever is tomorrow! I haven't really studied.. no need, I know i'll pass...Just kidding. I'm really concerned about my Art History test, and I can actually use that credit (hopefully).

The good thing about the whole AP thing is that I don't have to go to third period on either of those days!


Lastly, that little pic documented a really fun night at Sarah's we got really crazy with the 9th graders...
