Fourteenth Week

The Christmas sweater I wore on Tuesday night

What a busy week. It's the second to last week before winter break and I have already gotten my grad photos at lunch on Tuesday, finished doing a dance performance on Tuesday night. A biology dissection lab on a sheep's brain on Wednesday morning. And Thursday at lunch  I was helping teach a dance for the teachers, that I am still trying to learn. 

During Tuesday, I had dance classes before school and at lunch. Later that evening I had gotten ready for a dance performance that I was doing for dance class. I spent hours at school stretching, practicing, and waiting to perform in the outside hallway of the theatre and the small space near the gym. When I was done performing, I changed into a warmer shirt and went to my locker to get my dance bag. Me and my friend, Claire, went on a walk around the school till the next act was gonna start. I was able to watch the first few, but missed the last two acts due to my dad calling me. I felt a little bad not being able to see my friend, Sam's, monologue that night.

During Thursday's dance lesson, we had a few teachers show up in the theater to learn the choreography that was made a few weeks ago. First showing how the dance goes we were able to teach the moves step by step. After going over the dance a bunch of times, we watched the teachers dance it. A few of them had gotten the moves down, while some where having difficulty with some parts. Quite a busy day filled with dancing and teaching choreography.

Day After Winter Grad

Only getting 4 hours of sleep, I woke up at 5:30 this morning trying so hard not to fall asleep. Justin Bieber's song 'Sorry' was blasting off my radio. I laid in bed for the next half hour on my phone, but noticed that my phone didn't charge at all last night. It was still stuck at 23%. When it reached 6 o'clock, I got out of bed and started to make breakfast for myself. I turned on the TV and changed it till Apple TV was on. I pressed on the YouTube app and started playing Justin Bieber's new album while I waited for my breakfast to finish cooking.

After getting ready for school, I watched a little bit more YouTube videos and finished eating my breakfast. When it hit 8 o'clock, I went back to my bedroom to get my jacket, bag, and biology books. I left the house for school, leaving my brother in bed for the rest of the school day. When I got to school, I went to my locker to put some of my things there and get my binder. Walking down the halls filled with loud and bustling kids from the younger grades. I sat down at the tables in the foyer with my best friend. The tables were filled with grads in sweats, sunglasses, hats, and had coffee in their hand. A teacher came up to us telling us that if we didn't show up for classes today was a rumor. But it was a possibility that we wouldn't be able to go to spring formal.

My biology class had a few people missing due to them being at volleyball provincials. While my other classes had everyone show up. Lunch time was a pain as everyone was really loud and me and my best friend had headaches and were so tired from staying up all night. Trying to get everyone to be quiet was harder than we thought. During my free period I got coffee and hung out at the tables with my other friends talking about what happened the night before. 

When I got home, I changed into my pjs and laid in bed on my phone. Around 2 o'clock I had fallen asleep, taking a 3 hour nap. I was woken up a few times by my brother and my dad. After my nap I made soup for dinner and watched more YouTube videos all night. 

Winter Grad Dinner & Dance

Picture before having dinner. Great time with these girls.

Today's the day of Winter Grad. Day is soon to turn to night, and everybody will be getting changed into their fancy dresses and tux. Girls will be starting to get ready an hour after school and guys will be procrastinating until an hour before the dance. I'll be at home early, watching episodes of Game of Thrones before getting ready for the night.

Last night I was grateful to have done a facial spa night. Because now my face is clean and spotless, and ready to get makeup on. But instead of watching episodes of Game of Thrones, I stayed on my phone reading fan fiction. When my dad got home I went out for the next 2 hours from 3-5 pm and didn't start getting ready till I came home. I rushed through the house doing my hair, makeup, and eating a little bit of dinner in case the food was really gross at the dance. It took me 2 hours to get ready and out the door. My best friend was texting me when it was passed 7 pm, asking me when I was gonna be there. It took about 3 mins to get to the parking lot and meet up with her.

Half of the gym was set up nice for the dinner portion but the other half lacked decoration and lights. The food was actually delicious but we tried not to go for seconds as we would be dancing for the rest of the night. After dinner, the girls at my table and I took pictures with each other and with the Christmas tree in the gym. Half of the time everyone was saying how nice everyone looked, or at least the girls did. The girls and I talked about how nice the guys looked in tuxedos the night and how there were more guys then girls during dinner. A dance circle was formed around people dancing. I knew a few people who was dancing in the circle. One of my favourite's was my friends boyfriend. He killed the whole dance battle that night.

My dress and shoes for the night, & the rose my date got me for coming late.

Me and my friends danced to a bunch of songs and we were in heels the whole night. Our boy friends came an hour late to the dance, with a rose in there hand trying to make it up to us. Me and my best friend, Rhiannon were pissed that they came in late. We had to introduce them to people because they were asking to meet them. We danced with them for the last half hour before getting ready to leave. The walk to Rhiannon's car felt like forever in heels, but we got to her car and drove to Tim Hortons across the street from the school. We both talked to our boy friends asking why they were late and why it took them so long to get to the dance. We then went inside of Tim Hortons and got some coffee. I called my mom to pick me up from there. We hung out but then Rhi and her boyfriend, Azuz, went to the lounge area of Tims while me and my boyfriend sat in the booth quiet and tired. I said I was going to head out to go home and sleep. So I hugged him and left, while leaving my name was called. But I was out of the doors when I saw Rhi and Azuz through the window. I walked to the door of the car with stuff in my hands so I couldn't open it. I tossed my stuff onto the passenger seat and hugged my best friend telling her I was okay just really tired and wanted to go home. So she told me to text her when I got home.

When I got home, my mom said that she wanted to take pictures of me. So we did pictures in the lobby and then in the living room. My dad even joined in with taking pictures of me with the rose I got in my arms. Tired and sore, I still went through with the photos for the next half hour holding a fake smile. I stayed up posting pictures on Instagram and snapchat. Then read and talked to my friend till 1 am. What a great night. #Gradlife

Thirteenth Week

It was the last day of November on Monday, and the next day was the start of December. It's been an eventful week for me seeing as I have three days full of dance classes; learning and making choreography. Winter formal is in a day and I have already gotten my nails done, but still have to buy two more things for my make up. Totally excited to be going out and having dinner then partying with my friends. It's gonna be a great night. Tonight I have to prep for what I'm going to be doing tomorrow night. 

Got to buy a few last minute things. Then test out my makeup and figure out what I'm doing for my hair. It's gonna be a busy night filled with music, makeup, hair products, Game of Thrones, and doing facials.
