heeeeello!
im at my school library, working on history, and although im pretty into it, i'll blog anyways. hahah
the past weekend was funn! i didn't really do anything on friday, though it was halloween. i got back around 8:15pm ish, went to dinner with my dad, then drove to the orchestra place where my mom was, chatting up with all her orchestra parents' friends. pahh... we got home at around 10, and i went to bed pretty early.
commencement on saturday was great! the whole ordeal was pretty disorganized. we were supposed to arrive 45 minutes before, but when everyone was there, there still weren't any signs up telling us where to go or anything. it was a bit after 9 when the signs were up, and the teachers were actually telling us what to do! we got our cards to fill out and i got two, cuz i had to go and get my award. when it was my turn to go up, the teacher who was collecting the cards gave me back the wrong one! so it was really weird. i thought they were supposed to tell the people my award along with the OSSD thing, becuz i got a 50$ check along with my certificate ( thought that was the award). but after a long time of confusion, i realized it wasn't. the 50$ was the department award. so anyway, i missed the choir the first time cuz i had to go line up. the Music Parent's award was preeetty!! and not to mention, sharp! and i got another check. yay! but money doesn't matter. what matter's is that block of glass-looking plastic with my name on it. yay!
anyways, after the ceremony, i took pics with my parents, then they left and i hung out with Matt and Frances and Emilia. and i took lots pics with other people. it was great! after what seemed like forever, Emilia and i decided to go grab lunch. i drove Adam home on the way. we went to this chinese foodcourt on Silverstar, and i moment i walked in i saw my cousin, Ken, with his son, Jordan. awww so cute!! we talked a bit, and then out of nowhere, i lfelt someone poke me. i turned around and there standing was Edith! (she's the daughter of a family friend) so i was like "what the heck are you doing here?!" so anyways, after talking to my cousin a bit more, i ordered food, and then went over to that family friend's table and talked with them a bit. when we finished, i went and picked up my lunch and walked over to my cousin's table to say bye. out of nowhere (ok, across their table) my other cousin, Ricky, was like HI! i was so surprised, i was like "whoa!!" and Ricky was like "you're supposed to be in waterloo!!" so i had to tell him that i had commencement. and he was like "oh, so this is a cousins gathering, eh?" hahah funnay! and Bryan, Ken's older son was being all shy and cute. haha aww... anyways, we left after saying bye, and went to Destiny's to get Matty a bubble tea. (it was narsty, by the way.) then drove back to school. listened to the choir, Jeff's valedictorian speech (so sweet!) then waited for everybody to all gather and then drove Emilia home. Matty, Frances and i went to STC, and did some shopping. got kinda upset, then ate some ice cream, then walked over to Jack Astor's for dinner. saw Jordan and Kevin, so after we finished eating, went over and said hi. finally left the place, and went back to my house and just chilled, looked at photos then drove them home around 8:45. stayed a bit longer than i thought at Matt's, but it was alright. i recieved a text message around 9, but i had no idea how to open it, and i thought it was only another ad, so i left it. when i got home, i magically unlocked my phone and read the text message. it was from Frances! i forgot the card i bought in her little shopping bag! so i drove to her house to get it back. when i got there, though, she invited me in to make some mashed potatos. so i went in and her parents came downstaires and i said hello. her mom started asking me if i was Mandy, the girl from CDF, and i said yes, and she was like "i don't think you remember me" and i said i didn't, and she was like "yeah, i remember you from CDF. i saw you this morning, and i was like, hmm...she looks familiar!" so i was like "oh really? haha" and then she's like "say hello to your mom for me" and i'm like "okay i will!" hehe it was funny! anyways, so yeah, Frances and i made mashed potatos, and they were freakin delicious, i tell ya!! mmm....hehehe then we talked about stuff and school and family. ya know. then her parents came downstaires again, and we talked about university. and then i finished eating my potatos, and left. it was a great night. great, i tell ya! esp. the potatos..mmmmm...*drool* hahaha but we're going to Korean barbecue next time. yummay! we're going to turn into little fobs. oh no!! saaaave meeeee!!! lol alright anyways, i have to get back to work. it's already 2:30. ok bub bye!
