Memorial Weekend

I guess summer is officially here since my siblings are now done with school and I don't have to get up early to take them anymore. The only downside to this is that they'll be home all day now. I'm just kidding, my siblings are fairly cool. I just hope that I can tolerate them all summer...

Friday night into Saturday afternoon I was on a camping trip with my youthgroup that was for Seniors only, so the annoying kids weren't there. Again, I am joking, I love my youthgroup. Friday night we sat around the campfire and roasted stuff and just talked, it was pretty amazing. I love it when I can catch up with people and spend quality time with them. Especially if I won't see them as often anymore. Then, on Saturday we took a two mile hike. (That's right AC, I went hiking.) Luckily I didn't fall of any rocks or break any bones and I got through it without dying. I consider that a successful hike.

On the way home from the trip we stopped to grab a turtle that Megan wanted for a pet, but then it started snapping at us. Evil turtle. So we pulled over on the side of the road to let it go. Little did we know that Matt's phone fell out of his pocket and we left that on the side of the road as well. Eventually some people went back to get the phone, so it's not so bad.

Today I went strawberry picking at seven in the morning and had a wonderful time. My family strawberry picks every memorial day weekend for as long as I've been alive and when I was nine, I joined the tradition. Since my grandpa is no longer able to pick his own strawberries I've taken up his post. The best part about this is that whatever my grandma doesn't want I get to keep and eat. I love it.

My daddy is here. Bye.

No More DHS

Today is the day I graduate and I feel I need to post a blog. The truth behind the lack of posts lately is the lack of things that I have done. I have been moderately busy, what with my one exam and working maybe two hours a week, and the two awards banquets I've gone to, but there was always time to blog and nothing to blog about.

If someone asked me if I made an impact on Duchesne, I would have to give you a big "no". I didn't wow the school with great performances on stage or on a field, and I didn't get great honors with my academics. When I did work on the plays it was always behind stage, and I guess that's the kind of person I've always been. I can take direction and help things get accomplished.

If someone asked me if I made an impact on the students, I'd say yes. I've never been a very outgoing person and most people wouldn't be able to tell you what my favorite TV show is, but if you asked them if I was nice, I think all of them would say yes. I've made it a point to be kind to everyone, and if someone asked me for help, I would try my best to help them. I didn't get into any fights or have any detentions, but I guess that's because I always took the safe route. I didn't make waves or reach out because I was always afraid of the repercussions.

But tonight when I graduate I know things will change, if not immediately, then gradually. After the graduation is over all the seniors are going to a lock-in until five tomorrow morning, and I plan on having a blast and being myself, not the quiet girl most of them know me as.

Tomorrow I'll tell you all about it, when I wake up.

Shell is No Longer a "Winner's Market"

So, you know how I talk sometimes about the Shell station up the street from my house? Yeah, the one with the nice guy who gives me free soda sometimes. Well, I have sad news, the jacked up the prices on their fountain drinks! If you know me at all, you will know how greatly this has upset me. I almost paid a FULL DOLLAR for my coke today, not a happy moment. The cups for the 32oz sodas I get say "Winner's Market" on them and right now I'm looking at mine and thinking, "You are no winner, you're just a sham!" I am appalled at this! So close to graduation and they have to rip me off like that! I just have to say, I'm going to Quik Trip next time. They keep their prices low, and I love that.
