Life

so here's what happened:

after AP tests came the end of the year projects. AP Bio means cat dissections. about a week of skinning, a week and a half of muscle learning and testing, and now the real dissection. its been fun. sort of. i'm not grossed out by most of it. the skinning was pretty nasty but i could handle it. the smell just keeps getting worse though. makes me gag a few times when i walk in but after that its fine. oh well. the insides are the best. definitely.

Her name is Sally.

then in Chemistry we put together a skit/magic show/science fair thing for some 6th and 2nd graders at morris elementary. that was fabulous. 0ur skit was based off of Cinderella.

From Left to Right: Kevin, the prince. Me, Cinderella. I have a bag over my head, yes. Michael Black, as ann evil stepsister named Drucilla. and Holly Smith, evil stepsister #2 named Pricilla. i gotta say, the whole thing was really hilarious. REALLY hilarious. there was even some science involved! :) (cinderella was a scientist who didnt dance at the ball but instead did a science experiment & thats what he fell in love with...you get the picture??)

English project: writing a childrens book. called Rindercella. (i can't get away from the disney these days.) fantastic. then we made a movie of it. even more fantastic. i think its hilarious. and i worked hard on it. with this girl and her kitten (not pictured):

& Neal Rummler, but i dont have a picture of him handy. oh how hilarious that project was! grant rummler helped us a lot too, and i must say i love that kid. sooo funny. all in all, a bit stressful, but we conquered the computer and the lack of sleep and now! we have a fabulous video of our senior year. mrs. cook even asked us for a copy of it. YAY! that means we win.

the end of this project also means : THE END!! of everything. of high school. of seminary. (from which i just graduated from on sunday) of life as i know it, basically. its incredible how much changes are coming my way this year. and its also incredible just how READY i now am for them. i wasnt a month ago, or even two weeks. but now i'm ready. sooo ready.

another thing that happened was

PROM.

i had a great time. jeff&i, devon&arielle. we all went together. & had dinner at the workmans, thanks to sister whitaker! it was fabulous. (seriously. can i get a recipe?) and Lynne's fiance served us. hilarious!

bro workman took many, many pictures. and we all went in Lynne's fantastic red mini coop convertible. to the shark club in costa mesa. there really was a shark there! and the music wasnt half bad at all. i was impressed. afterwards we ended up at devon's house and played the most fantastic game of catch phrase everr! meaning the girls whooped the guys. since they decided it was a good idea to play guys vs. shakespeareans. (is that what it was? can't remember. maybe it was the guys that had the funky name?) but me & arielle kicked butt together! :) all in all, a great night. :D

during and through all of this that has happened, my dear karina coleman decided it would be a good idea to adopt a cat. oliver was his name. freaking adorable. 8 weeks old.

i was his aunt. i went over after school and took him home

with me while karina was at work. he did the most adorable things! i love him. but now he's gone. karina got sick of him, and hated him, and threw him out in the streets. and my mother was too terrible to take him in, so he is abandoned somewhere and probably dead. okay..not really. karina found him a home. but still. thats what it feels like to me. i miss my oliver! i took him to petco, and i got him his collar, and i gave him a bath, and we took naps together, and he kissed my nose, and made weird noises while he ate...freaking adorable. he sat on my shoulder even!

ohh well. i now live a lonely life without him. i'll get over it..sometime in the next twenty years.

well honestly, i think i covered everything big since i posted last. i've been meaning to over and over again, but i was suddenly busy. a preview of coming attractions: GRADUATION!! only a week left. less than a week. next tuesday. THATS IT BABY!
