We Still Have Some Time..

    Tonight was Parent-Senior Dinner. Basically, the parents said things (memories, words of encouragement, ect.) and the students said something, and gave the parents presents. For my parents, I made a video filled with pictures and small video clips. It was special for me and for them, since I do that kind of thing alot, and absolutely LOVE making videos! :) I'm putting it below, so all of you can watch it..it's not as good as I wanted it to be (I got kinda frustrated with the program..) but it'll do for now.
    It was a hard night though..I realized that everything is coming to a close. This whole week is working up to one big event: GRADUATION. Scary thought. I don't think I'm quite ready.
    Don't get me wrong. I'm totally ready to graduate!! I just don't think I'm ready to leave in the fall. Or be out on my own. Or never see some of these people. And, I'm also pretty bummed that I have to miss most of my sister's senior year. Kinda a big thing..bummer. -.-
   I guess there comes a time when you realize "Wow, it's all pretty much over." No more basketball games to cheer at. No more soccer games to play. No more band events..or winning at Nationals. No more youth group. Last math class ever..It just all kinda hits at once. And, wow, it's alot to take in. When you were in 9th, 10th, and 11th grades, you could easily say "It's ok, next year will be different.." But, in 12th grade, you start to say that, and then realize, "No, I don't have next year.."
   As senior years go, I guess this one was pretty good. (I can't really compare it with others, since this was my only senior year of highschool!) Sure, some things could have been different. But, I think the CLASS OF 2011 did a pretty awesome job at being a good graduation class. We had a good run. We placed 1st in band at Nationals, and that was pretty big for me. We came together as a class..at least in most ways. I got an A in my pre-calc, and didn't have to take my final!! So, I guess we can say it was a good year. Of course it had its ups and downs. But, what doesn't have ups and downs?
   Plus, it's not over yet! We still have time to make some more memories!! Three days, actually..well, soon to be two, but who's counting??
   ANYWAYS...tomorrow is a pretty busy day. We have senior breakfast, cap & gown pictures, government final (not everyone has to take theirs, but I do), senior lunch, a few hours to do nothing, and graduation practice until 4:30! THEN, I have to work on my senior board, which I have not even STARTED, and head to church. Oh man, tomorrow is crazy. Maybe I should go to sleep. Yes, good idea. 'Night guys! :)



My gift to my parents. So they won't miss me so much once I leave.
