The end of the road...| | There's a lot to say, so prepare yourself for a long blog.
[ BOTC ] : Super amazing, you guys have improved so much, and I am like ultimate bboy groupie (minus the sleeping around) now. I really enjoyed the performances, and congrats to Neudeul Crew for winning! Lots of really fun tricks and shiz, and it was great seeing Danny and David again.
[ Last week of school ] : My last week was pretty fun. The only real finals I had to take were French, chemistry, and calc. Graduation rehearsals got long and tedious, but I was glad to not be in class. xD
Funny rehearsal moment - I was standing there as Marta got called, and the projector screen came down in front of me. It was a bit awkward.
[ Class Night ] : It was fantastically fun. The food was delicious, the music was pretty fun, the slide show was nice, and the dancing was great too. It was nice to be able to actually dance. Before I left, I had a little dance battle with Theresa Kang. I think she won, but I still had a lot of fun and well, now people know I dance. I'm not sure if they have more or less respect for me though. ^^;
[ Awards Assembly & Senior Picnic ] : The Awards Assembly was nice, albeit long. I won a service award, which was extremely surprising. It reminds me of the 8th grade, when I won that service award and completely didn't think I deserved it.
The picnic was tons of fun. I ate way too much food, of course, and got thrown in the pool by Ryan first (with lots of encouragement from Grace, ahem). Got tossed in by Kevin, too. Played some barefoot soccer (shirts vs. skins, all the girls were default on one team) and splashed around in the pool. I threw Natasha in, which surprised her for some reason. She was wearing white shorts and DARED me to throw her in. Several times. So I did and she was shocked! If she didn't want to be thrown in, she shouldn't have told me to do it. And she should've been wearing something more pool-appropriate anyway, I mean come on, it's a pool. =P
The picnic was extremely fun, and I am really glad I went and got to hang out with my friends.
[ Chinkfest, aka Maytoberfest ] : We got together with some 08ers and 09ers (and KBao). Dinner at Szechuan restaurant Joe's Noodlehouse, which I had a hard time finding, since I came still in my swimsuit to Rockville and got lost on Rockville Pike. Dinner was yummy, although spicier than I'm used to. Then KTV, where Kevin refused to sing and Yisheng and Wenyue basically rocked the mics. And then I took 4 people home and I was super nervous about it. Fun!
[ Grad parties ] : The weekend grad party lineup went as follows - Rohini's, Nick's & Megan's, Surdu's. I had fun at all of them, although the problem of people splitting into different groups at each party made me feel bad for each host. Still, they were lots of fun and I'm glad I got to spend more time with everyone.
[ Memorial Day ] : This is unrelated to graduation and whatnot, but I was in a parade supporting Chris van Hollen. He doesn't represent me, though. Still, it was fun. ALTHOUGH. I was throwing candy to children, and a kind of hefty lady was like: "HEY CHIIIIIIIIIIIINESE. (She called me "Chinese". What?!) Can I get some candy up in here? I got dem 4 kids and we ain't got no candy yet." I just felt really offended, and I'm not exactly sure why. I think it was being called CHIIIIIIIIIIINESE. Not even "Chinese girl", but just "Chinese". Like what the crap. Anyway, I got to walk with some really hot convertibles. And they had this old Ford Model A? And some Ford Thunderbirds. Very nice. I felt special. And then I got to eat at 66 (Bob's Noodlehouse) and it was yummy.
[ Graduation ] : Somehow, my tassel disappeared. I am very upset about this, especially because I think I lost it at school or something at the awards assembly... T^T The weather was less than perfect, which is okay because it was completely perfect up until that day, I suppose. My dad somehow misheard "Merriweather", which was written on his ticket, and went to Marriotts Ridge. A rival high school. I panicked at that point because my mom is in China and couldn't be at my graduation, and that was depressing enough, but to have my entire family miss me getting my diploma was too much to bear.
BUT my dad and brother made it, I got my diploma, and I hugged everyone I could to death. I tackle-hugged Shulman because I hadn't seen him in ages. Lots of pictures. Lots of love. I didn't cry, though, like I promised myself. I was too happy. The only thing that made me want to cry was when Mr. Sankey told me, "I'll never forget you."
[ Senior Prank ] : Success techincally, but essential fail in taunting and such. We blocked off the senior lot though, so take THAT class of 2010. You're not seniors yet so don't even TRY.
[ Wootton Prom ] : So much fun. It started raining when Jie and I were on our way to Gaithersburg, and we parked in the wrong garage or something? Finally made it to the hotel, got all dressed, and headed out to Misha's. Victor was driving, and Jie and Bui were extremely nervous about it. The 3 of us were kind of backseat driving, and I feel bad about it. ^^; Picked up Grace, went to Misha's, and it started to POUR like there was no tomorrow.
Funny moment while waiting at Misha's -
Misha: So if anyone wants to have sex, do it in that room.
Someone: Is that why your date is already in that room?
Entire room: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
We got Bui to dance to Day & Night, John and I sang "Lucky" by Jason Mraz, and it was a good time.
Unfortunately, since it was pouring, there was an accident on 495 and our limo was extremely late. We decided to meet it at Benihana, since it was already 7 and our reservation was at 6:30. We got there at 7:15, the latest we were allowed to get there for our reservation, and waited around for our food with some Telephone and pictures. The food was really good, although it took a while because it's a show and all.
Piled into our Hummer limo, which didn't really seat 22 like it was supposed to... Our driver wasn't so great though. Hm. Got to prom at 10 (it started at 8, doors were supposed to close at 9), so we didn't get a chance to go on the carousel. 'sall good. Got 2 hours of dancing in and it was great. (Except Matt, John, and Dennes kept ditching Olivia, Susan, and Xiaoxiao! Guys, come on.) Apparently I started one of our dance circles. I don't think so, but okay.
Back into the limo to go back to Misha's and change, which I managed to do out in the open because I'm skilled like that. We drove to Wootton for postprom. I discovered I have a gambling problem that was accentuated with beginner's luck, aka I win money when I don't know the rules of a game. Like Texas Hold'em. I forced myself to stop by sticking my poker chips in my pocket and tearing myself away from the casino area. I would've done more stuff but I was really tired, so I couldn't really bring myself to embarass myself doing moonbounce stuff. xD
Back to the hotel, where I fell asleep on the desk waiting for people to finish showering. When they woke me up for my turn, I was cranky. >_< Sorry about that. Cleaned up, and went to sleep, but 4 hours later, we were awake again. They were up the whole time, so I don't see why they didn't get up or let me open the curtains. <sigh> But yeah, I was still cranky. We went out for lunch and walked around the lake and then left.
I made a lot of new friends, was very proud of myself for remembering everyone's name, and had just an overall great time. I hope everyone else had a good time too.
And that's that.
