HIGH SCHOOL NEVER ENDS.

"I've been making a list of things they don't teach you in school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing." ~Neil Gaiman

Oh, school.
The tragic pit of endless "This is how you do this...," and "...You'll definitely use this after you graduate."
Sure. I'm 100% going to NEED to know when Abe Lincoln was assassinated to buy a house and I'm going to NEED to know what a mitochondria does in the cell to buy groceries.
That is the most true statement ever. Can't you just taste the sarcasm. If you can't, well, then you need to be less of a Pollyanna and except that the world is not perfect.

I hate how teachers try to cram a bizzilion homework assignments into the last few days. For instance, I LOVE my Social Studies teacher. But, she is giving us a HUGE review packet and my final in Social Studies is on Thursday.


My Finals Schedule For this Week:
Thursday:
Science Final, Technology Final, Social Studies Final.
Friday:
Art Final, Math Final, and Reading Hall Final (Bleh).
Monday:
Skills Final (Not a Real Final, Band Final, English Final.

I am so ready for finals, because I am so ready for school to be over. Monday is the last day I have to endure, and then it's summer sun until the very end of august.

So the Relay for Life event?
It went well.

We got there at around 10 am to set up our amazing blue tent and our posters and all that jazz. Wow, I just said "all that jazz".

I walked around the track about 40 times before my first break. Then we flew kites, and some horribly, disgusting guys tried to show us how to do it. Like we were wimpy, fragile flowers. Well, my friend Erin got 3 kites all the way unraveled by herself. Take that.

We explored the lower floor of the college the event was hosted at, and escaped from the night guard by 0.000000001% and thank GOD we did. Otherwise we'd be in BIG trouble about now.

There was food, and fun, and it's a great experience for a great cause. So next time, I highly recommend anyone and everyone to attend one.

The only thing was, we were still walking @ 1 in the morning and then it started to pour when we were sleeping and the tent wasn't repelling the water well, and I got SOAKED on half my body.

But other than that, it's freaking awesome.

I have an Academic Recognition Assembly tomorrow night. What that basically is, is an assembly where the school hands out certificates and plaques to those who have obtained either: Perfect Attendance, Honor Roll, High Honors, or Principal's List. Then we go to the cafeteria and eat ice cream.

Speaking of Ice cream, I had a track sundae party today, and until the second I stepped into the building, I forgot it was today. And by then, it was too late to get my uniform. So coach told me to bring it on Thursday, oh well.

Screech like there's no tomorrow, Follow the yellow brick road, and Read some Shakespeare,
Kayla.
