Graduation

On Tuesday, I graduated from 8th grade! I am now officially a freshman in high school! Although it doesn't really feel any different. The ceremony wasn't too long, thank goodness, and no one tripped or fell or anything so that was good. Molly Wilson won the Walking Worthy Award, and Mr. Bruer challenged us to not worry about what we do, but what we don't do. But I had a great time taking pictures and "mingling" with my friends! It was awesome! I'm really excited for the new experiences ahead of me...especially driving! A little nervous to though, obviously high school is going to be harder than middle school. But now I will enjoy the summer ahead of me by living "in the moment". (hahahaha) Anyway, here are some pictures from graduation night!

Six Flags

Our school takes their 8th grade class to 6 flags at the end of the year for a class trip. Yesterday me and my friends had so much fun riding the roller coasters and spinny things and all that good stuff. Even though it was a 3 hour bus ride (which we filled with doing each others hair...how girly) it was a GREAT day! Mr. Freeze ended up being my favorite ride, followed by Superman: Tower of Power. They were good. Unfortunately, we got lost...a lot. First we couldn't find this place called the Villain's Cafe to eat, then we couldn't find this ride or that ride and ended up walking around A LOT! But it was still REALLY fun to be able to spend the day with my friends. Plus you could share food instead of each having to buy your own which saved a lot of money. So I was really tired when I got home, but it was worth it. Although, the rides were definitely not as good as the ones in Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure and Bush Gardens, Which reminded me of how privileged I am for having an Aunt who gets free tickets. Also my hair was up in this really tight messy bun thing and when I took it down when I got home, my hair was a HUGE mess! It was SUPER poofy...which I have a picture to prove. Although I must say, the picture doesn't do it justice. But at 6 Flags it was a GORGEOUS day, not too hot not too cold, and we had a wonderful time to end the 8th grade year!
