Well, it's been awhile since I last wrote. A lot has happened. I got asked to banquet last week (by Settle of course) and it was awesome. He had someone put a note and a beautiful pink rose on my bed, the note telling me to go to Veenstra's at 6. So I went to Veenstra's and waited for Delicia, cause we were being asked together. Well, when she got there, Mr. Veenstra pulled to more roses and a note from behind the cushions on the couch. The note ryhmed and was a clue telling us to go to the baptistry. Noah was waiting there with two more flowers and another note, this one telling us to go to the love swing. Dee was waiting there with two more roses and another note, this one diercting us to the coffee shop/underground. Settle and Josh were waiting there with music playing and a table set up. We had cake and ice cream and sparkling grape juice, they asked us to banquet and then instead of going to the movie up in Downing, we had our own personal movie night in the coffee shop. They had borrowed a projector and some movies, which were all chick flicks, and us girls picked the movies and we watched. It was very fun and much more comfortable than sitting on the hard chairs in Downing. :) So yeah, that was how I got asked to banquet.

So yeah, this week was another hard week though. Mr. Richardson (my choir director) had to go back to the States, so yeah, I'm pretty sad about that. He'll be gone for the rest of this year and also next year, which really sucks. We're going to miss him a whole lot, plus we're getting a new chior director and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. I might end up quiting choir if the new director is who I think it is. I know that sounds childish, but working with this person on music takes the joy and pleasure out of it, and it's not even worht the effort. But, I will give it a week or two before I do anything. Anyhoo.

This weekend was Senior store, our last real one. Next stre we'll have junirs shadowing so that they can know what to do when it's time for them to do store. So yeah, a lot of "lasts" are happening already. It's making me rather sad... We also had to finish our Senior write-ups this week, and there's just something really depressing about having to fit your life at RVA into 600 words. And I've only been here for three years. Some people have lived here their entire lives.... Agh!!!! Growing up is not all it's cracked up to be. Anyhoo, not everything is sad and depressing. Although it was our last store, it was also a blast!! We got finished with donuts early!!!!! That's NEVER happened to us. We normally finish around 11.... we were done at 9:30!!!!!! Wo hoo!!!!!! It was so nice!! Anyho, I better go work on my papers now. Have an awesomely amazing day!!!!! I'm siked cause we're going up to Carreker's house again today!!! It's always a blast to go up and hang out. Mr. Carreker is awesome! We generally go up to his house every Sunday, but we haven't gone for like the past three weeks, so yeah, I'm siked. Anyhoo, I'm really gonna go now. Have an awesomely amazing day!!! Bye.
