School

School is well underway once again. Even after several months, it’s still hard to believe that I’m in 12th grade. We’ve been getting to do all these things that I’ve heard about for years, and somehow I never really thought I’d do them.

Beach Day:

We had our last beach day, which was rainy. The beach and rain aren’t a very good combination in case you didn’t know.

The Rose Cerimony:

One of the oddest parts of this year was getting a special friend and doing the rose ceremony. I remember being in first grade and getting my 12th grade friend. She seemed so much bigger than I am today. My special friend’s name is Arabella, she’s a bit feisty, but she’s great non the less!

Pumpkin Carving:

The Friday before Halloween the 12th grade and the first graders carved pumpkins together. It was loads of fun, but my pumpkin wasn’t a masterpiece. I remember carving a cat on my pumpkin when I was in first grade.

Self Portraits:

I’ve been looking forward to the self portrait class for years now. It’s one of those things I always wanted to do and teachers would always say “You have to wait until your in 12th grade...” It was really hard, but I really love the way my portrait turned out. It was also really fun to see the pictures that everyone else chose to paint. I’ll put up final portraits as soon as I can.

The Pajama Game:

Our musical this year is The Pajama Game, which is exciting. Unfortunately I didn’t get a very good part. It’s been a very interesting experince, and while I’m sure the play will be awesome, it’s taking some time getting there.

Halloween:

Although I didn’t do much this year for Halloween, I did dress up like the queen of the Nile, Cleopatra.
