I was only there glaf of 8th and all of 9th but it wioll always hold a special place in my heart. My frineds are really sad. They spent the last three years there, 7th, 8th, and 9th! High School, here we come!!
We had 9th grade graduation on Wednesday earlier this week, and it went pretty well. Our theme was Hollywood, but our class of '09 theme was Stop and Stare. Here are some of the pictures from it, plus a small movie of the dance we preformed for everyone. It goes in Order of how I posted them. The getting ready part of the pics are at the bottom. :) Sorry!

Wow, a lot to write

Well, maybe a TON to write...

The school year is coming to a close and I am thinking about my math grade which could be better. I am thinking about all of the things that have been thrown on us at the end of the year. I am thinking about the closing program for my graduation.

There, as you can see, is a lot that I am thinking about.

For the closing program for school, the 9th grade is being taught a dance that we have to perform for our parents and everyone else. I was put at the very end of the line when we were lining up to be placed with the guys. Now let me tell you that this was no ordinary line, this was a height line. You had to line up according to your height. The girl in front of me was taller by 1/32 of an inch! We were so close in height that we are almost the exact same size. She took the spot in front of me so that I was the last one. We were paired off, and I ended up with a boy that I really didn't mind at all. He is pretty cool. We were about ready to start, and he decided that he didn't want to dance any more. I was then placed with a boy that I had REALLY hoped that I could avoid getting paired with him. I know it sounds EXTREMELY mean of me, but he doesn't even want to do this, and he texts the whole time we are practicing. I wouldn't mind being with him if he enjoyed it.
We are set up in a diamond formation. Two corner couples, one front couple and a back couple. Well the supposed to be diamond I am in only has me with my partner. No one else. So when we are practicing, I have to practice with my partner, and when we switch places, I am doing it all by myself, and so is he. The dance teacher says that when we learn the whole dance, and get ready to be split up into the 3 different sections, (we are doing the dance 3 different times, so that every one has a chance to dance, and so we aren't all crowded on the floor.) we will have a whole diamond. We have a few more days of this until we are done! WOOHOO!!! :)

At school we did a little program for the school, and instead of singing Ye Shall Have A Song, we sang Big Spender from Sweet Charity. We had tons of fun with it. No one but the girls chorus and 2 teachers knew about it. We dressed in short shorts or skirts and legging. Some of us wore fish nets. I wore hot pink legging, and black fish nets over the leggings. I wore short shorts with it and high heel thingys. We had so much fun shocking the teachers and students. We had one of our teachers wear a suit, and come suantering down the stairs. He was our Big Spender. One of the girls had him sit down at a little table and poured him a glass of Diet Coke. We then sang the song, and at the end, I was choosen to go up and put my hand on his shoulder and say out loud, "Hows about it... palz?" We had SO MUCH FUN doing it!!! (now let me tell you. This is a very condenced version of this.)

I have been lazy in my posting lately! Sorry!

For spring break awhile ago, I went to Oregon with my granparents and spent a whole week with them and my aunt, uncle, and cousins. It was my first time seeing the ocean, and I was so amazed at the size of it! BREATH TAKING!!! It went on forever! We watched a storm brewing over the Pacific. It was the most amazing thing I have seen in my life. We also took a hike to a suspension bridge. It had a waterfall off to the side and it was wonderful! Before we came into Portland and Oregon City, we stopped at Multnomah Falls. It was really pretty! One huge waterfall and a smaller one below it. We took a lot of pictures. I don't have enough room to put all of the pictures we took up, but I will put some!

I will put them in the post under this one :)
