Yes, I've been absent from the internet for a few days now. Mostly school related and a few computer problems at home didn't help, either. Wednesday was my last day of school. It was a very heart-touching and emotional day. Everyone had cameras and were taking pictures and such. It was fun as well, because, we got to goof around most of the day. We watched Kangaroo Jack during our first hour class, then headed to the Gym to watch the people who signed up for Musical Chairs Basketball play that and to watch the Volleyball tournament. During which, Xio, Alexa and I sat in the stands at the very top, Xio sat next to me and read over my shoulder as I wrote in my story. Occasionally I'd take a break or two to make fun of the people around me, or to collect my thoughts. Then we went to lunch, it was freezer clear-out day so a lot of stuff had sales like 'buy one get one free'. I bought my usual. I still have $5.00 on my account for the beginning of next year so, its all good. Then we went off to Jumpstart where we immediately went back to the Gym for a small awards ceremony, then it was off to the Football field for the rest of field day. I wasn't really interested in the event I signed up for, so I skipped it and never went out to play. (Hey, nobody ever said I had to participate...) We had ice cream and cleaned out our lockers at the end of the day, then we went back out to the football field to have a Scavenger Hunt, then we said goodbye to the three teachers who were retiring that year (the Middle School Counselor, Mr. Kidwell, the Sixth grade Social Studies teacher, Mr. Kotenko and the Sixth grade Math teacher, Mrs. Bigelow). Tuesday was an awards ceremony. I received a Gold Achievement award, which had (what we believe is) the President's actual signature and also a letter from the White House, which is an official letter because it has the White House's official seal, as does the certificate. Then, at the end of the ceremony, I received seven awards and an Outstanding Student Plaque. By then, I was really disappointed, not understanding why I hadn't received any other awards, the Outstanding Student Award explained it all, though. Once I had gotten back to my seat after going out onto the gymnasium floor to receive the award, I opened up the envelope to discover the seven awards I had been wondering why I had not received earlier. The awards I had gotten were: Language Arts Discovery Language Arts Discovery Science Multi Media Science Science Math Social Studies Yes, very rewarding... Report cards will be mailed home next week so I'm anticipating that. I've done it! Y'know how a few posts back, I said that I couldn't think of anything that I could like start or end my posts with? Well, now I have. Yesterday, whilst organizing my files box(which has many things in it, including year books, drawings, strategy guides, GamePro Magazines, the notebooks that my story is written in and many other things...), I found a journal from Sixth grade. My sixth grade teacher wrote down a question on the board every morning and we had to answer it in our journals. Well, I had kept this journal so, I figure, I'll post in the beginning of each of my posts to start them out. I'll discuss my feelings from the entry, discuss if I disagree now or still agree, etc, etc. The only downside is that I had not written down the question that was on the board, so I'm going to have to improvise what that question was...ah, oh well. Here's the first entry: If you found money...what would you do with it? I would give it back to the owner if it had some kind of identification. But if it didn't, I would turn it in to the Police. If I kept the money, I would buy DBZ stuff, Digimon stuff, buy a new tire for my scooter, buy a Mountain Board, buy a Snowboard, or maybe even put it in my account and leave it there for a while and let the interest every year put it up to a million so I could be a millionaire. I still agree that if I did find money of some sort, I would turn it into the Police, if I found it on the street somewhere, that is. If I did decide to keep the money, then, yes, I would buy DBZ and Digimon stuff. No tire for my scooter. That got stolen (no good dirty rotten punks...*cough*). Heh, I got a Mountain Board for my birthday that year and I got a Snowboard that Chirstmas. I might put it into the bank, I doubt I'd keep it in there long enough for it to become a million, though. Eh, I think that's all I've got to talk about at the moment so...later. -DDG Edit: (forgot one thing...)
