And passed. School is over! And I can't say I'm too happy about it. A lot has passed between before the fieldtrip and now. The fieldtrip, for one. We also got our yearbooks, had fieldday, graduation, and the semi-formal, you know, the dance. Thing. So, one at a time.
Fieldtrip:
Man, that was FAR too early for my taste. >.> Me and... Kyla and I were up pretty late (SHHH, don't tell our parents...) and the next morning wasn't quite morning enough. What, did we wake at like 4 or something? I think it was 4:20. Somewhere around there. I was exhausted before the thing even began. But I guess I started to wake up once we got to school and got to see all of those bright, happy faces... wait, wrong school. Wrong time. Wrong fieldtrip plan. All we did was walk around and see the memorials (haha, okay, more like run past the memorials), and then look at random museums- and you couldn't pick which museum you want, it's up to your group and -more likely- your chaperone. Eventually everyone just filed into the Air and Space museum, which was closest to our bus pickup place. I won't say it was horrible, because it wasn't. It was pretty loose with security in the museum, and mostly we had free rein to do whatever we wanted with whoever we wanted.. ooh, that doesn't sound right. The point is, it was like recess. Ish. If you normally had recess with most of your grade in a giant museum filled with planes. And random people. In D.C. For about 3 hours.
Anyway, (is it anyway or anyways?) after that we all went back to the bus and ... well, we left. We had dinner at the mall food court somewhere in Virginia, then got back to North Carolina, Raleigh, Carnage Middle School, Bus loop at... I think it was 1. In the morning. >.< I swear, I hobbled off the bus. Literally. But it was fun. ^_^
Yearbooks:
We got our yearbooks. Want me to describe every step we took to get them? Didn't think so. MOVING ON!
Fieldday:
(okay, honestly, yearbooks weren't that interesting, I didn't skip anything)
So fieldday. Uh, there was part un and part deux. Part un was in the morning and the staff did nothing but shove us all outside at the same time. For about an hour. More or less. We played freeze tag. =P Part deux was in the afternoon, and by now we've pretty much all gotten our yearbooks, so I just ran around with that and a pen getting siggys. The staff put out a radio, or speakers, something (couldn't see it), and a humongous crowd was surrounding the music and dancing. Safe to say I wasn't in it, so I can't tell you much.
Graduation:
Haha... we're highschoolers now. xD I don't feel highschooly though. I guess it'll soak in as Summer passes. Graduation wasn't much. One and a half hours of walking up, shaking with the right, taking with the left, then getting down. No crying yet. That I know of.
Semi-Formal:
Definitely lots of crying here though. Only towards the end. They restricted us with tables and locked doors to only the cafeteria and about two half hallways (yes I know that's a whole, but I don't want to confuse people) (crap, too late). The cafeteria was describable in two adjectives. Dark, and loud. Later, hot would be added in. It was pretty fun though, once there was enough people to always be preoccupied. Just standing there and wondering what to do had to be one of the most awkward things I've ever done. But I guess it was fun.
After that I went to Sarah's and had a sleepover, and then I came home and here I am, typing. Okay, that was 2 days ago. Kind of ironic that I started this blog with a sleepover and ended it with one.
Well, bye! I think I've talked quite enough. Have a great summer!
