Prom

Hey peoples...
Just thought you guys might want to see what I was up to on Saturday night. Like my hair? It was so frizzed and curly, and in the light it looked quite red. I looked like the folks on my dads side of the family... :) And then you can see my lovely class, and there was only one of us missing! The guy with the blue shirt kneeling down was our prom king and the girl in the red dress right above him was our prom queen, very American tradition, I know...
We had a fun table, with kazoo's and yo-yo's and slinkies. The Prom was Fairytale themed, so each table had a name. There was "Ariels Cove" and "Cinderella's Palace" and "Snowhites Den" and ours was "Gippetos Workshop" or something like that...


So yeah, that was my Prom :)

Missionary Kid...

School was called off today, but that's a good thing. A long weekend! An extra day to catch up on those projects I haven't had a chance to do. Yesterday I had my grand début in Cinderella as the queen. It was fun, but nerve wracking... Also yesterday we had a family with 12 members arrive to our mission community. Two of our dogs had to be put down on Monday, but we are hoping to get a new puppy sometime during our winter break. Only 3 weeks till the end of school!

A little poem...

Time marches on
In the basketball game of life.
The seconds race by,
As we try to achieve the most we can.

Don't Ya just love the SAT's?

Yep, currently brain dead and tired. This morning I got up at 5:40, and was at the school where we were going to take the test by 7:45. We got into the test room, and to my own horror, realized that ALL the desks were ones for right handed people. I myself am left handed, so had to shyly slink up to the supervisor and ask for a table I could actually work with. So, at first they brought the wrong chair, and everyone else in the test room is studying me carefully. At last we got settled, and started on a long long exam. Now, you know the sort of atmosphere in that room, intense, quiet, when it seems like every move you make sounds like thunder. Now, everyone was concentrating, and all of a sudden...

"aa---ahhh-- CHOOO!!!!"

I jumped nearly three foot into the air! After that it was fairly smooth sailing, even though stomachs were growling, and everyone was sick of the maths problems. So, we went from around 8:00 to 12:30. LONG exam, very few real breaks.

What a wonderful experience eh?
