Grade 12

According to my agenda (and my personal countdown with in it), there are 65 more school days (excluding all weekends, exams and holidays) until I graduate. The best part of grade 12 is here right now, first semesters marks are in for university acceptances, people have started receive early acceptances, filling out scholarships has become a favourite activity. And amongst it all we still manage to have time to have fun.

Right now I'm on my spare, I had originally planned to work on a scholarship "essay" (I used quotations because a 500 word essay does not really seem like an essay in my opinion.), but I have given in to procrastination. I most likely wouldn't have gotten far anyways, since next to me my friend is freaking every time she hits enter because she loses the information on the form she is filling out. At least hitting enter brought her attention to the fact that she had easily been running over the 50 characters with spaces rule. She is now attempting to write a 300 word thing, since I still believe essay is and inappropriate word for a blurb about one's self. The more frustrated she becomes with it, the harder I begin to laugh.

As I have mentioned we still are able to have fun. There was the Nire's birthday party in which six of us slept on two air matresses, or at least until Maxine left because the air matress we were on slowly deflated over the night.

This past weekend, five of us (Nire, Olive, Maxine, Sarly[previously twin 2] and I) went shopping and to see some movies. I was teased relentlessly over my tatse in guys, while we bugged Olive for being the only one who bought anything. With the mall closing an hour before the movies we wanted to watch started, we headed to the arcade within the theatres to play some games. After losing and winning some games at air hockey, we finally managed to see the movies.

Since the movie Maxine and Sarly went to see was out before ours, they waited for us, playing the racing all the while. When we reached the arcade we began to scan the front lobby to see if we could find them, not noticing that they were playing the game in front of us (both Nire and I thought they were other people). After Maxine beat both Nire and Sarly at the racing, I took her head on and won. She has now claimed that we must race once again some day, but this time ensure that we do not use a winding course.

Many people hear that grade 12 is the best year of high school, now that I have reached that point in my life I agree. It is due to the thrills that come with applying for next years schools of choice, watching others freak over the exact same thing you are, yet learning to deal with it all and having fun at the same time. The year passes by quickly, but you will make many more memories than you can expect. And who knows, maybe I will make more since the year is not yet over.
