summer mornings

I thought summer was supposed to be a time for fun. A time to relax. Not so. Not at least when my parents are involved. With my parents, I have to get up every day at 6:30 and head out for MORNING swim practice. GAHHH!!!! That's pretty much all I can say.

As well as having to wake up in the morning, I have to cut my swim practice short and run to Kennedy Middle School for Enrichment Classes. However, the classes are really fun. They picked the best teachers from all of the schools in the Bay Area to come. The teacher for math, Mrs. Normoyle, is especially good. (she lets us use iPods in class :D.....no, she's a really good teacher). She's the head of the math department over at Pinewood High School.

In total though, I'm not too fond of having to get up in the morning in summer, wonderful teachers or not. And to make things worse, I have swim practice in the morning ALL SUMMER LONG. yay.....

Graduation!

Hey Everybody!!

Tuesday was our middle school graduation. It was the final day of school, and everyone was looking forward to high school, but at the same time grieving the fact the middle school was over. It was going to be a really special moment.

Apparently the teachers wanted it to be extra special too, because we had to go through three days of grueling grad practice:(. However, everyone was really looking forward to grad, because everyone wanted to see how the gym would be decorated for the dance afterward.......and because of the food XD.

Another thing is that I was chosen as a student speaker for the grad ceremony and my tummy was acting like it was in a quick dry cycle. I was really nervous. However, I practiced my speech a bit and hoped for the best.

Finally the day came. We headed into our grad lineup and we marched forward into the bleachers where we conducted the ceremony perfectly. My speech was really good (or at least my friends say so) and the other speakers were awesome too.

Then, it was time for the dance. We rushed to the gym but we were forced to make an orderly line. We headed into the gym (FINALLY!!!) and we realized that the theme was.....San Francisco. It was REAAALLLLY awesome. There was a huge Golden Gate Bridge, a Palace of Fine Arts, and a lot of other really cool things. The food was organized by 'district".......Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, Japantown, North Beach, AT&T Park, and best of all.....Ghirardelli Square. :D

In total, the dance was much better than anyone expected. At the end, everyone was crying and getting emotional as we wouldnt see some of our friends again next year in high school. Graduation was one of the best experiences in my life, and I can only hope that high school will be as fun as middle school.
