Flashback

It is so weird sometimes how things just kind of hit you. I realized today that I wish it was last year. It was so great last year in the eighth grade. No one cared if they had a boyfriend and everyone hung out with everyone else. Now people are emo and others are preppy but no one hangs out together. What's worse? Everyone has a boyfriend/girlfrend. I hate it. Everyone moved away to other states and we don't talk to them anymore, friendships were broken that we thought would last forever and everyone likes someone who doesn't like them back. I was thinking about the dance that we had at the end of the year...our Semi-Formal. The week before I asked this guy to go with me but another girl had asked him. I was bummed out but I moved on. My friends told me that he would have rather gone with me but Emily had asked him first. He knew that if he went with me then I would dance with him but Emily would dance with every other guy there. At the end of the dance, they hadn't danced together once while I had danced with a few other guys. The DJ said that it was going to be the last song of the night, Graduation by Vitamin C, and I walked over and asked him to dance. If I hadn't done that then I don't think that I would have realized how much I liked him. We just stood their rocking back and forth holding each other and it totally felt right. It was weird but I liked it. Then earlier this year, he asked out this girl Kendal. She was pretty and all but she was boring. I thought that if we had hung out more then he might have asked me out but whatever. So he asked her out at her volleyball game and that night, there was a party that we were all going to and he wanted to go so we made a few calls. He was invited but Kendal wasn't so I thought that it would be perfect. The party went great and by the end of the night we were in each others arms cuddling on Danielle's trampoline. It felt right then to but maybe it is just me and he doesn't feel the same way but I sure wish that he did.

Almost Vacation!!

I am so excited the tomorrow is our last day of school before school vacation. We aren't even doing anything. In Bio, we are going to watch a movie and have snacks just like in French and English. I don't know what we are going to do in our other classes but I am sure that it is going to be fun.

NYC and The Family

The NYC trip last weekend was amazing. There is nothing else like that city. It makes you feel so small with the amount of people and the height of the buildings. The first night that we were there we went to the Rocket's show which was really cool. When they dance, they are like robots and none of them miss a beat. Then we had a few hours to walk around so we checked out the tree at Rockafella Center and then we just walked around the city. When we drove into the city the second day, we went to Ground Zero which is really shocking. The whole where the Twin Towers are huge. It is so belittling to think that something that large can come down. The buildings that we around the area are still covered with debris and have ash spots on the front of them. It was hard not to cry. After we left there, we went to Time Square which is the coolest place that I have ever been. There are ads all over the place and I took really good pics which I am going to try to post later today or sometime this week. We had our family X-mas party at my aunt's house yesterday. It was pretty fun but it was kinda crazy. We don't have a huge family but he house isn't that big. I got some pretty cool gifts...a Hollister Gift Card, a Blockbuster card, a Michael's card, a shirt from American Eagle, a shirt from Aeropostale, and some other stuff. My cousin and I are gonna drive down to Soloman Pond Mall later this week so we can spend our Hollister Cards. I will try to post more often but mid-terms are comming up fast and our teachers and trying to get in that last minute stuff so that they can make them harder. : )

Sorry!

School has been so crazy these last few weeks that I haven't had time to update. My birthday was awesome! I got a hot pink digital camera and two cashmere scarfs. I am going to go to NYC this weekend with my mom to see the Rocket's show which I am super excited about. I have had four projects to do in the last week. I had to work on this Golgi Body project with partners that didn't do anything....I made everything. Then the Algebra Business proposal that we had to do was crazy. The day before we had to present, every group had to pick a number and I went up to pick the number for our group. My teacher had like a bunch of cards in her hand and I had my hand on the one that said "3" (I could see it through the card) and I was thinking to myself "I would rather see someone else go before me so I will pick a different card"...that was where the stupid side of me came in. I picked number one. That's right. There was no one that wanted to trade with us but why would they? Everyone said that we did really good on the project so I am happy that we got it over with. I have so much homework that I have to do but I will try to update again tomorrow!
