Highlights and Lowlights

Skool is nearly out. i have one week left of math and field day and i'm done!!! moving from sophy to jr. an upper classmen say wat up!!! the question is wat do i have to show for it?? wat did i learn as a sophmore in the skool year of 06-07?? i think i learned more about life this year than i wanted to learn, i saw more heartache than i've seen in all years previous, i've tasted fear and bitterness, as well as joy and contentment. i have learned of the wonders of facebook :) and the dissapointments of blogging. ive signed up for more scholarships and college info packets than i can count. i have caught a faint glimpse of the demands of motherhood as well as the joys. ive been barfed on by babies so many times that the smell no longer bothers me (that much). ive learned that your sense of humor is a powerful weapon and that if you use it carelessly it can cut deeper than an insult. i started taking chances and trying new things (including: gorgonzola, karate, and sky diving ......jk jk not there yet lol). ive made friends and lost some. i've cried till all my tears were gone and laughed till my sides hurt. i backed into a mailbox and survived a blizzard. i sneezed my way through 3 major alergy attacks. i may have a "mouse voice" but i sing "like a disney princess." (lol) i battled racial injustice in the Civil war and watched John Proctor hang in Salem. my meltaway dreams lost the baking contest to kitty litter cake and i took third place in the science fair with my presentation on black holes. i discussed theology with my grandparents and learned the delicate procedure of milking goats :). i know now that i do not want to work in an office but that i love watching the show. (Jim loves Pam awwww) ive learned confidence and that i like wearing skirts. i joined a protest group against Sinjaya and it payed off!! i understand the difference between obeying and honoring and see that i need to work on the latter. so many things have added zest to this chapter in my life but im happy to let it go. this summer will be a completely new adventure......but who knows this one may wind up in a book some day (not just metaphorically). thank you to all those who contributed. i will never forget these memories and will hopefully can learn from them for the future.
