Senior Blog #4

Last day was today...it still has not hit me. I mean, graduation IS in six days and we still have the slideshow, the picnic, the rehearsals, and all that useless stuff. I was thinking about bringing a blow-up something, but I am probably not.
This year's senior pranks were terrible. We had two fails, and two idiotic actions. We had the pennies that were unsuccessfully glued to the key holes of the outside school doors. There was the non-original water balloon prank, which sucked. There was the non-original writing on cars, and there was also the failed prank with the whole eggs thrown at the doors that lead into the gym foyer from the outside. That prank just made the gym foyer smell like wet dog for three days. WTF 2009? Let's get this done. Whatever...I shouldn't be complaining because I am not doing anything. THere is, however, the other prank that is hopefully being brewed. The one that involves Corbin's van. I really hope they pull through on that one! There are good Corbin times and bad corbin times. Mostly bad though. He has way too much power.
Anyways...beach week is in a little over a week, and I am REALLY excited. Got to go...for the last time! Dinner!

PEACE (forever)... :(

Am I looking forward to next year? Not really. Unfortunately, I am not really looking forward to it. I do not like being thrown into something that I do not know, or that I am not familiar with. So, in the end, it may be a good thing that I am going to Virginia Tech because there will be so many Herndon people there that I can hang with. I also know some people already going there. I am in the predicament in which I do not know if I want to do marching band. I feel like if I do not, I will miss it too much. So, it may be worth it. The downside is that I have never marched in my life, and they do not have a pit. This may not bode well for me.
As for partying, I am not much of a partier. I hate drinking or smoking or anything like that. I feel that I can wait until I am 21 and the feeling will be that much sweeter. And plus, why drink just to get drunk and throw up? Sure it may relax you, but seriously...it shows self-control to wait and follow the law. Now I say this, but this may change next year. I will try to not let that happen. I repsect myself for being able to say no and choose what I want to do without anyone else choosing for me. I really hope that I am going into this whole thing not knowing that college will be the best years of my life. I just do not like change all that much, even though it is just a part of life. We will have to see. I do, however, plan on doing some swimming club or something like that next year. I really hope that I am just looking at this whole situation the wrong way and that I will love my college years.

PEACE...

Prom...

Dctionary.com says:
a formal dance, esp. one held by a high school or college class at the end of an academic year

Congratulations Herndon...you have fulfilled the defenition of Prom according to dictionary.com
This year's prom was better than last years, I must say. However, it was not better when it came to the music department. Again this year, we had DJ Butta. He sucked. He should not have persued a career as a DJ. Who likes him? I hated him SO much. Everyone that I talked to hated him too. He would stop songs after one measure or refrain. Sure he played the cha cha slide, but still. He also played the electric slide...which was a stupid Idea. The establishment this year, however, WAS better than lasts year. But, I think I would rather have had the same price of a prom ticket from last year and go to the same place that we had it at last year than pay more to have it at a marriot. But, for the class of 2010's sake, it was a nice place. It was kind of funny because Dominion High School was having their prom on the floor above us. What an interesting development! People from our school were trying to go to their prom, and people from their school were trying to go to our prom. It was kind of funny. One of the stupid rules they had was that girls, or anyone for that matter, could not have their shoes off outside the ball room. What Nazis! Whatever...it was good. But, yes this year's prom was better than last year's, thank goodness!

PEACE...

4th Quarter Blog Post #4


So this past weekend was the opening weekend for Pixar's new movie, UP. It did well...it was in second when it came to the money that it gained. This movie is another great production from Pixar...so i've heard. I have also heard that it had a sad ending. But there was also rejoicing! That made me happy. The movie did not do so well here in the US, but after it goes overseas, it is expected to do well. All the other Pixar movies have made a bulk of their money from overseas. The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Cars were all Pixar productions. All have been on the top lists of animated movies and have been able to compete with other important pictures. Disney own Pixar and they have been partners for many years. I am going to watch this movie. I must admit that I judged Cars before I ever saw it. After I saw it, I must admit that I enjoyed it. There has not been a Pixar movie that I have not enjoyed yet...! KEEP 'EM COMING!



PEACE...
