Yeah, it was pretty much one of the coolest things ever, but at the same time it was extremely anti-climatic. One of the best parts though, was to see everyone snuggled up in blankets at six in the morning.

Isn't everyone so cute (haha)! Even though many people were somewhat okay with my taking pictures of them that early in the morning, some were not so happy about it.

But on this day, I gained a friend that I am sure will last an entire life time and then some: Nathan.
He was having a little too much fun since he knew that I had a camera out. Can you see why we get along so well with each other? After the sunrise, most everyone went to breakfast. My friends and I? We decided to be classy and went to the good old golden arches. I really don't like McDonald's at all though, so it was a little weird. I just got a hot chocolate.
Stay classy CV!
As I got to know my good friend Nathan a little better, I realized that he is pretty darn talented and that we have way too many things in common. For example:
- We are the same height
- We both play the piano (and currently take lessons from the same teacher)
- We both played the violin (he still plays, while I quit several years ago)
- We both like to talk REALLY fast
- We are both way too full of energy
- We also share a fascination with hair
I mean come on! I only listed a few, but it's still kind of crazy, right?
I mean, look at this? I wasn't kidding when I said that he likes hair. HE did this beautiful fishtail braid on my hair. There is however one thing that he can do that I wouldn't be able to do if my life depended on it. He can dance REALLY well, and I certainly cannot.
Okay, so since school started, I have found some interesting things written in some text books. There is always something good, but I have never run into anything like this before!
How cool is that? This book "belongs to the half blood prince" and was issued to "Lord Voldemort" as "new" and returned as a "horcrux". Not that I am a crazy Harry Potter fanatic, but this is hilarious. Something else cool that has happened since school started? I got to eat a for real "chupa-chup". It was truly the best sucker that I have ever had. It was "fresas con crema" (strawberries and cream).
I will definitely have to add this to the list of cool Mexican candy that I have had. The other cool thing was a sucker called a "semáforo" (stoplight).
Isn't it cool? It is red, yellow, and green like a stoplight. It was kind of hard to eat though. We have fun in Spanish class. For example, last week, a certain "un-named class member" threw his planner onto a ledge that's right below the skylight in the classroom. It was the nastiest thing because huge chunks of dust came falling down like snow.
That would be the planner. And that thing off to the left of the planner would be one of those chunks of dust that I was talking about.
Getting off the topic of school, last Saturday I had the opportunity to participate in a day of service with my church in honor of 9/11. We worked on clearing out and cleaning up an area in the community to be made into a bike path.
Here is my sister, Emilee, standing on a pile of rocks that we were digging out of the ground. This was one of the small piles, and certainly didn't have the biggest of all the rocks in it, but it has one or two decent sized rocks.
See this rock? I split it with my bare hands! Just kidding, we split it with the shovel when we were digging out a bigger rock. It was kind of cool though to see how clean the rock split.
This is one of the bushed that was cut down to be thrown away as we were clearing out the area. I truly just thought that it looked cool with how vibrant the berries were.

Sorry about this last random picture that really doesn't belong here in the post. I just had to show off this cool picture that I took of Nathan.
