The Charlie's/Charley's

^ The spelling changes every year XD

It was quite amazing.

My family got there super early, as usual. Dinner was served, and I got many compliments on my [prom] dress [take that, Mom!].

All the ITS officers talked [why do you think I never applied for one of those positions?], and gag gifts were distributed; Charlie getting a toilet seat, Paula a microphone, and I a trashcan [the man stuffed me in one earlier that semester].

Carie picked out the good pictures of the ones I gave her for the slideshow-- there's nothing quite like looking at your own slide.

There were lots of hugs, tears, but riiiiiiiiight before Emily and I left, I forgot something.

I borrowed a pencil from Emily's mom, ran backstage, and wrote my name on the same block as my dad's; something I'd been meaning to do since February.

Senior Luncheon.

I said I had a lot of posts XD

Pretty good.

Met up with Paula, Kathleen, Emily, and Charlie.
Good food.
Good entertainment.

Charlie didn't understand most of it, since you would've had to know all the gossip the past 4 years to understand, but it was awesome.

Shelbi spoke about movies... who would play whom in our high school careers.
And rank gave an awesome speech about his high school experience XD

Andrew sang and I won a camera.

Some letters were read some Maxwell kids-- ones they wrote in the sixth grade.
Who knew Kristina and Toni were so popular?? XDDDDDD

And Mason wanted to be a poet! D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He also sang Time Of Your Life. Cliche, but fitting. And good.

Went home early-- more on that later.

Tomorrow-- the Charlies, and school... and summer.

Band.

We had the jazz steak dinner... a couple weeks ago?
Doesn't feel like it.
It was the same night as All My Sons DX
The last play of my high school career and I couldn't try out...
I was also afraid I would miss circle, but I didn't, as not trying out, and missing the first act as props mistress was the last thing I would let band do to me.

Anyway....

The Banquet.
The bane of my existance in this program the last three years.
I got all dressed up [actually, I already was since senior luncheon was earlier that day], sat with Paula, Emily, and Kathleen, as the plan was for the past three years.
I was particularly moved by Zach's speech, and what angel had to say about kathleen-- then me.

Who knew I always had a smile on my face?
I didn't.
But Angel thinks I do.
I walked up there shaking, hugged him, and he whispers in my ear, "You can do this-- you're the drama girl!"
My response: "This is obviously why I'm a techie...!"

I get up to the microphone and say my opening, then gett o the thank yous....
Parents
Poncar
Angel
Hicks
Everyone to my left and to my right
Carpenters dad for letting me call him Carpenter's dad, since I never know what to call my friends parents XD
Carpenter
That table right there ;)
The trumpets
All of them
And everyone in the gym

Then the Trumpet Football.
If I had to pick the most SHOCKING moment of my life, it would be last year, when Karee gave ME the football.
The stolen property football.
The one Jessi caught.
The one I apologized to Mr. H for XD

And I gave it to the first male recipient, Zach.
He encompasses everything that football means.



I may say I hate band sometimes,
and that I don't know if I should've done it these past two years,
but I've loved every minute of it :)

The first half of the last 9 weeks

Went by FAST!
I never even know what day it is anymore.
March? WHOOSH!
April? WHOOSH!
May is also going by fast,
but that might be the Trend Analysis paper talking XD

I had the subject of prostitution.
That's right-- HAD.
I'm done with it as of today.

Speech? Advertised lightsabers for our last speech. Got a B+ which I am extraordinarily happy with :D

Music Theory-- love those guys.

Cadeting-- love those kids :DD

Calc-- killer.

Band & jazz-- for another post.

Prom [the first of many posts]

Oh god...

It was amazing.

We were all [me, Charlie, Paula, Amanda, Carolyn, Ryan, Sarah, Emily] supposed to meet at O'Charley's at 3:30, but of course, two people had to call and ask what we were doing at 3 ;)

Early dinner.... Some people asked Amanda and I why we looked so pretty :D

And then we had to make an emergency stop to the gas station next to White Castle. Someone had to have their Coke products... XD

My house, pictures, the church, more pictures, thankfully getting less and less awkward as the night went on XD

And Chris told me she gave Charlie 'the talk,' which means nothing at all like you think it does XDDDDD

Pictures, the limo, the ride there... got there an hour early and walked around a bit, discussing nerf guns with Ryan and Charlie.
We could finally go in and I persuaded the hermit to dance for a few minutes... ate, walked around, danced with some drama people, who proceeded to teach the hermit how to dance [maybe Michael Tucker isn't so bad after all XDDDD].
We talked, danced, had our picture taken, danced... tried to figure out what on earth the food was...

Danced somemore.... ...
Texted XD
The limo ride back...
Yes, I DID have a good time.
And Steak n Shake was also good, as was the car ride back to my house.

And now?
This, along with May 16th, 2009, is probably up there in my top 5 favorite days.

... Where do I even start?

Umm... it's Spring break... :D

Let's see... I left off in February... Hmm...

In general...

The Children's Play got cancelled :/
^ I'd rather not talk about that

Ball State housing stuff has arrived!
^ Did I mention I finally got into the Theatre Dept?!?!?! :D

My Kindergarteners are so sweet :D
^ I was quite worried, but..... They're so adorable!!!

Calculus is more than stressful >.<
But Frank is in there!
And W131 and Speech... are actually pretty cool classes
[Oliver's attitude has changed since he's gotten married XD]

Band has it's ups and downs...
But Zach and Malia always make it better :)
As does Carpenter with Jazz Band.


I conquered every senior girl's fear.
I asked Charlie to Prom a while ago.
And as for his answer?
Well... let's just say picking out a tux was quite an adventure XD

That pretty much sums up everything up to this point.
My Spring Break plans?
No, I'm not going off to Florida as most people are.
I'm staying home and around Greenfield, as I have many chores to do XD

Tomorrow I'll be going to Wal-Mart, Kristy's, and Marsh for random things,
Organizing,
Maybe going to the Children's Museum Thursday? Fingers Crossed!,
and, well...
Getting my tattoo on Friday XD
It's a purple and green butterfly on my right side [just above my hip]
Not very large.
But as a disclaimer for those of you in California--
Let's not tell Grandma-- K?

Oh! And wedding dress shopping with Paula! :D

Oh, Honeywell, how I love thee...

It's the middle of February.

And I'm sick of this snow.

.....

Ok, I'm sick of it being dark outside.

I LOVE that we went to school today for a makeup day [one of the two] and yet, we have been alerted that there is a snow day tomorrow :D

Everything academic-wise has been going very well.

Band[s]? Fine
Teaching? I love my little Kindergarteners ^_^
Speech & W131? Great!
EB? Why wouldn't it be great?
Calc? Much better than first semester.
Theory? Love those people :D

Not much else to say I guess...

Just lots of homework.

And tomorrow will be filled with scholarship-like things.
