Up and Down Kind of Day
This morning started very early for me. I left my house at 6:20 to say my last good bye to Michelle and give her the present I had meant to give her once upon a time ago. I was thrilled to see her one last time...before she comes back in October (hopefully).
After that, I went home and slept for an hour. Then I got ready for Dance Team pictures. The pictures went well; as did the camp. However, Miriam and I decided to call Ms. Erwin and ask if we could stay and do the recital thing and then go to Link Crew. Unfortunately, we never got a hold of her. MJ and I thought it would be a good idea if a captain or 2 stayed for the recital because all 4 of us would be leaving for Link Crew and that wouldn't look so good. Also, we thought that if we did get a hold of Ms. Erwin, we'd ask if the seniors who had done Link Crew last year and wanted to stay could stay. But, like I said before, we didn't get a hold of her. Amanda had other ideas however. She insisted that Ms. Erwin would be furious and not let us do Link Crew if we were more than an hour late. I told her that I had talked to Ms. Erwin and she knew we were going to be late, though how late...she didn't know and as long as we all showed up together it shouldn't be a big deal. But, in the end, Amanda won and we all left...me not getting to perform my favorite dance, but luckily getting it taped at a rehearsal. So here's what really makes me irritated. Amanda C, Amanda H, MJ, Cora, Courtney, Natalie, and Whitney decided to go to Littel Caesar's for a quick lunch because they weren't sure if there would be enough food once we got there. Margaret had left earlier than us, because she was worried about getting there (she had never done Link Crew before). Anyway, she gave me a call and said there was plently of food, so I went to school instead of going to pizza. Well, by this time, I was at school at 1:00, so I was only an hour late. 30 minutes later who should walk in...the other dance teamers. Not only were they an hour and a half late, but I could have been at the studio performing and gone to school before they had even arrived at school. I was pretty mad. And then, Ms. Erwin congratulated them for being able to play a game and eat at the same time (they had grabbed some of the extra food). Yeah, I didn't get any recognition for being closer to on time than they were yet they get praise. How fair is that? Anyway, I was pretty irritated...especially at Amanda C. Out of the 4 captains, I think she was the only one who didn't want to dance at the recital thing. I could be wrong, but I know for sure MJ and I wanted to dance in it and from what Courtney told me, so did Cora. I feel that Amanda is taking over the team and I don't know how to stop her! Ok, that was a little exaguration, but I feel frusterated whenever I think about DT camp today. I guess being up at 6:15 could have something to do with it too.
On a lighter note, I had a wonderful time with Emma and Jennifer. Emma and I went to the Streets of Tanisbourne and went to see Jennifer there. After playing a game of chess (which I won) at a quaint coffee place, we went on an adventure. We went to a pedestrian bridge over highway 26 and took pictures of Emma on it. It took forever for Jennifer and myself to get our act together, but finally the pictures were taken and I know they'll look spectacular.
After this exciting adventure, I went home and played a game of Break the Safe with my parents (Brooke is at friend's house). We had a great time. Then we talked for a while about the dance team issue, senior pictures, high school reunions, plays, and a bunch of other topics. It was great.
Overall, the day was ok, but it definitely had it's up's and down's. I hope tomorrow will go better.

CC!
I'm so terribly sorry that you had a not so good day yesterday. I didn't hardly get to see you / talk to you, to my dismay. But, I'm so very glad that my post made you happy. I too hope that we have more classes together. What period do you have IB English? I have it second.
On a side note, I'm going to kick somebody in the counseling center's butt if we don't both have musical theatre this year. Will you help me?
I love you!
At 8:40 PM,

I love you, CC! I hope that your dance team's experiences get better. You, of all people, deserve it the most. And don't let people like Amanda get you down. You have so much more going for you...
