So, the big graduation- David A drove but Li didn't know where to go so she followed us, however I guess we were going a bit too fast for her bc we lost her like 5 times. "should I turn right or straight?" "well, where are you?" "should I turn right or straight?" "wherrrrre are youuuuu?". Get to the hall, lose sash a couple of times, many pictures being taken but only a few with mine, 'the chill look', court and I rolled up our pants bc we found that every other girl was wearing a skirt, I couldn't get my gown zipped but Dave got it working, *embarassed*, Anthony busted out in dance and singing "a whole new world" for us as we waited in alphabetical order to walk in procession. No one tripped even tho everyone was afraid they would bc the aisle incline was so steep. "I advise u girls not to wear high heels", Got on stage and listened to one awesome speech and two boring ones. It was just happening, nothing magical, just a bit suureal. After we all got our diplomas n whatnot it was a mad rush in the lobby to find parents, friends and pppl with free hands to take pictures. We al kept losing everyone, so finalyl David White and I left, went to Friendly's to see if anyone was there, and came home. Got online, found one more person not doing anything till 11:30pm check in time for the after grad party and went out to get ice cream with ash, like good old times last year. Sort of a full circleness to end the year with my best friend from last year, *sigh*.

after grad party at the plaza- Around prolly 1am we busted out the ultimate frisbee shirts vs skins *wink*. They tried to make the two girls (me and court) be on the skins side but no, we made the football players do that! Running around on the tennis courts barefoot occasionally bumping into sweaty athletes was really fun. I am happy that the guys all bonded too and now they r gonna get together to play from now on to play. There were really good subs, tons of food, they were giving away way too much money and sadly it went to ppl who do not need another 100 bucks, The door prizes were nifty (huuuge stuffed animals, gift certificates, money, candy), We also did a round of twister, sumo wrestling, disgustingly sweaty, there was character sketching, hand writing anaylsis, pool, karyoke (come on guys, 'can u feel the love tonight'), had some girl fence side chats, and I got some mean blisters from walking barefoot all night. I think I will remember the hot sweatiness of everyone during frisbee the most. hahaha. Giant trip for thank you cards at 4:40am, home, crash to sleep.

THis morning woke up 3 hours later at 8am, took a shower and met up with David A, David W, Tom Z, Mike H, Ben T, and another dude to go canoeing! After totally turning around and not knowing where we were going 4 times, we arrived to this little back on woods trailer type place, but the people who owned this function were the nicest people ever, esp the old guy. We decided on doing the 4 hour trip in 3 canoes... and let me tell u it was an awesomely fun, dirty, and adventurous 4 hours. The scenery was beautiful on the Swatara. Trees hanging over the river, roots creating creative patterns, rock faces that looked like they had come out of some movie. Traveling down the river reminded us of heart of darkness, returning to none of our native american roots and even conjured up a rendition of "row row row ur boat" in cannon. hehe. The first group to capsize their canoe (tip over) was Mike's. Then David W's, thennn mine bc now all the guys were wet so when David A got back in our canoe he MADE it tip over! It was actually refreshing, just extremely dirty. 4 hours is a while so we got a little creative... tied our canoes together, played catch with a tennis ball bw canoes, raced to get the tennis ball thrown, acted like it was a gondala in Venice, "now all I need is to learn some Italian love songs" -david a. A nice sun shower sprinkled us too... then it continued to get muddy, wet, buggy, and tiring. Finally we reached our destination... "BRIDGE #3, ok now only 40 minutes more" rinsed off and climbed into the cars to leave. Stopped by Wendy's, lost part of our order so we had to go back to get it, and now home. I didn't even wait to get to my room before I was peeling stuff off, good thing no one else was home. But now, *sigh* I am CLEAN! Got more tanned today even tho the sun wasn't out that much. My arms are tired as hell, 4hours of rowing works ur stamina hehe. I don't think I will go to bed until tonight even tho I only got 3 hours of sleep... so yea, what to do tonight? hehe.
