Well, Grade 12 has been an interesting year so far. There has been a total of 3 weeks of school and I have been to 5 full days of school.That's horrible. I don't think I have ever missed so much school in 1 month in my life. But within the days that i wasn't at school my attention has been towards other important things. SPM, Grade 8 retreat and Ashland!!
The SPM retreat was an amazing experience. I felt so thankful to have been given the oppertunity and I felt very close to the other candidates. The bus ride was long but I slept for most of it. We watch so much Harry Potter that I don't like Harry Potter anymore. I can stand it. I thought my head was going to explode. Overall, I was a very lucky person to have gone on that retreat.
Leading the Grade 8 retreat was great to. I got to get to know some of the grade 8's. They are really cool and funny too. They did have a have a hard time opening up but I expected that. I mean thats why their retreat is entitled JOURNEY!!!! They will eventually get to the point in Grade 12 where they can fully open up. Overall, they were great and they made it fun. Even Anna and Nick's attempt at Journey was good. They are every smart to.
Lastly, and most recently was ASHLAND!!! Party in the USA!!!! I had a blast in Ashland. Although I did feel that Henry the 8th and Don Quiote were boring plays, I enjoyed the other four. My favorite play was The Servant of Two Masters. While shopping in Ashland I picked up this Head Massager thing. Its cool and my whole family really enjoys it. I should have bought 10 more. I also bought Christmas Ornaments. Boy to I loce Paddignton Station. they had a whole section of Christmas stuff and Jessica and I spent like who knows how long in there. We wanted to buy everything. But sadly we had to leave and we went to this place called Yogurt Hut. I mean Heaven in a Cup. First you walk in and pick up a cup. Then you proceed to the different kinds of frozen Yogurt. ie: cookies and cream, vanilla, green tea etc. Then you put topings on top. They literally have any topping you want. ie: granola, cereal, nuts, choclate chips, marshmellows, animal crackers, gummy bears, gummy worms, sprinkles etc. The you proceed to your last stand where yu cna get more toppings. ie. cookie dough ball, reecess pieces cups, fruit, brownies. The you get your sauces. ie: marshmellow, choclate, caramel, starwberry etc. the you go to the till and you pay by the once. It was amazing. I wish they had one here in Vancouver. Then we had the bus ride home. That was ok.
Anyways thats a sum of my grade 12 year so far. More fun times to come.
