jun10r year

I'm sitting in the library all alone because everyone else is gone for summer, so I thought, what a good time to reflect on the year that is now no more.

Here's some memories:

• Polo. Finding rides as the pool of non-driving juniors quickly evaporated. Finally getting to play for a change. Beating Catalina. Making new friends and chilling with old ones. The work outs are killer, but I love the way that in polo season, I have unity with girls that normally ignore me; and afterwords we all get along a little better.
• Football games. My first three. So much fun despite my very spazoid state of excitment. Can't wait til next year. (Hopefully I'll finally make it to a Homecoming, lol)
• Paying for the Back to School dance in quarters. That guy hated me so much. XD
• Boys. Lots of boys. Pratically a new one every week to the extent that I swear that Maria and Christina almost killed me. lol (Sorry ladies, but I love you for listening =)
• Giant Cookies! Discovering the bakery with Christina. Racing to make it in time Choral with our cookie remnants in hand one morning.
• Bus rides. Morning's with Gabby were so amazing; I so missed her when she left. I have a love/hate relationship with the bus. It's annoying to take and deal with immature freshman and the occassional child molester, but at the same time I love the sense of unity it has, the ability to people watch. I think I'm just fine to be done with it though, lol.
• English class. God that was amazing. Aside from pure visual enjoyment *winkwink*, in what other class can you get an A just for mentioning God a few times, or listen to Hayley Tamangi ask Mr. Micheletti to winter ball? We had a great group and some amazing afternoons. I'm goona miss that class so much. (BURDTTTT!!! hahaha, ily Kyra)
• Winter break. Having my mom set me up with Chaz at Christmas dinner and then stalking Calvin and making Twilight and Australia themed pizza's with Christina on New Years; simply epic.
• Twilight. Worst and funniest movie of my life. Can't go without mention.
• Early release days. Getting ice cream. Wandering to parks. Chagning shirts in bushes on sidewalks. Not caring where we were going because the only thing that mattered is that we were with our friends and we were free. I wish I could capture that feeling in a charm and wear it all the days of my life.
• FOB! Best concert of my life. Trying to co-ordinate everything was a nightmare, but it was so worth it (despite reeking of cheap beer for the next few days). I can't wait for the next one and for going to New Zealand with Christina to look for Jack, hehe.
• Canabera, Australia! hahaha, and all my other randomly amazing conversations with Joseph (and now Zoe too which makes me so happy =).
• Afternoons on the corner. Sometimes the only thing that helped me not kill myself all day (exageration for effect) was the thought of those 15 minutes aterschool with my friends, wondering who would be there today.
• Popular kid parties. Sounds trivial and so very Gossip Girl but I love it. It's taken me a long time to get where I am with the diverse group of friends that I do; and I so loving be friends with everyone and having that be okay. =)
• Staying up late. Last year it was all "bed by ten" and this year I stay up to three almost every other night. Exhausting but awesome to have the freedom to do so.

Overall, fabulous year. Thank you all for being in my life this year and helping me make it what it was (Christina, Maria, and Tierna especially). I love you all; especially those of you I got to know better this year-I'm so grateful to have had that opportunity. I hope you have great summers and I can't wait til next year =)
