endings & beginnings

  Our time at District 67 is coming to an end. It's hard to believe that we're graduating eighth grade. I've been with most of my classmates ever since kindergarten. We've grown together and we've been through a lot together. I've met some of the most amazing people at this school. It's going to be hard to say goodbye at graduation. Just a couple more weeks full of ABC countdown activities, finals, and camp and we'll be out.
   Just because our time at Golf is ending, doesn't mean it's over. We have another beginning, one at Niles North. It's terrifying and exciting at the same time. There'll be new people, new teachers, new classes, new clubs, and activities to do.
   This school year is coming to an end but a new school year is beginning very soon.

it's complicated : graduation

  The rush to get service hours done, the excitement of camp, the stress of finals, all mean one thing. Graduation. I'm pretty sure everyone has mixed feelings about this. Most of us have been together since kindergarten. It's exciting to get to go to high school but it's sad to have to leave GMS. High school has a lot more freedom but that also means that we might not have classes with our closest friends. I know a lot of people are eager to leave middle school and start a new part of their life but I bet a lot of people will miss teachers and the all the familiar faces at school.

beauty and the beast

  The movie Beauty and The Beast came out almost a month ago and I still haven't watched it. The trailers I've seen look really good and I need to watch it. Everything looks so gorgeous! I used to love the animated 1991 film. All the songs & sound tracks in the movie are unforgettable. Lumiere and Cogsworth were my favorite. Along with Chip, the small teacup. If it's not a good movie, I'll be disappointed.

here's a good way to improve your mood.

to my everything

hiya pops. we're supposed to write a tribute post for someone special to us. now, i hope you know that words on this screen is nothing compared to how much i love and miss you.

you are/were a talented, intelligent, generous, strong, energetic, dancing goofball. (plus like a gazillion other adjectives) you could always make me smile brighter than the light in your garage. the light that you used to fix the hundreds of cars you kept parked in our driveway. (momma sold most of them but don't worry we kept the titan) anyways, i wish you were still here to teach me how to use stick shift and how to drift. one of my favorite memories with you was going off-roading in indiana. i remember going up the cliff in the suzuki. that was terrifying but i remember seeing your smile and all your adrenaline. another vivid memory that i have is when you were dancing with me in mexico. i was too shy to go up on stage and dance by myself so you took me to the dance floor and taught me how to slow dance. there are so many memories i have of us dancing. i wish you were here to teach me all your moves. i want to tell you so much, i can't wait to see you again. it's going to be six years this year and it has been way too long since i've heard your voice or smell your axe old spice deodorant. i wish i could've gotten more than eight years with you. i miss you so much. and i hope i can make you proud one day.

much love,

your mini goofball
