Graduation Weekend
So I guess I'll recap my weekend...Saturday midday- went to Garrett's (his birthday/graduation party thing...with really good cake) and sat by the pool and talked to a bunch of people...
Saturday night- graduation practice...and then after that, went to Mama Rosa's with Mom, Emily, and Logan. Man, I love love looooove chocolate-dipped cannoli. So so so so so so so good. It's just ridiculous. (And the lasagna was good, too!!) I continue to highly recommend that place.
Sunday- Went to Kevin's in the morning for his graduation party thing...and spent the morning having a Juliette hanging onto me. Went home, got dressed for graduation, went to graduation at about 1:45. Graduated, Yay! Magna Cum Laude...(um, whoo?) umm...went to...uhh..I can't remember what I did after graduation. I think I came home and watched tv. At 7:50, went to Krystyn and Philip's graduation party-get-together thing...which was really fun because I thought it was going to be like six million people, but it was like...10 or so? Maybe? and lots of food. (Always a good thing.)
Went to the Lock-in at Trinity at 9. As soon as we got there, we had to change shirts and put on our little tags(on lanyards) around our necks. THEY HAD SO MUCH FOOD THERE!!! LORD. Mr. Gatti's delivered pizza like all night. And there were so many cakes and cookies and chips and so much junk food. It was amazing. Too bad I was playing games. So in their gym they had games like...bean-bag toss(man, I'm the masta of that), coin blow(gah, I was like, "phhht." and tehy were like, "100 points" (minimum) and I was like, "GAH! I suck!"), umm...washer-toss(throw washers into holes)-for some reason this was like...so hard for me. I was a moron. umm...ring the bottle(throw rings at bottles-this was really fun actually), hula-hoop(word.), frisbee throw(I was...okay.), mummy wrap(which was okay...sarah got 200 points every time she went!! I wish I had pictures of us wrapped up, sarah.), limbo(what? sarah and meredith are flexible? that's right.), umm...Iron Man(so may I say this like...sucked? Adam like killed his foot on it and had to leave the lock-in and I scraped my poor elbow. everyone should kiss it to make it better.) oh! iron man was a big bouncy thing that was like...a race- if you win, you get 300 points and lose, 200 points. so I raced against kevin and won and against sarah and lost(BARELY)...and I hurt my elbow against sarah. Want to know where I scraped my elbow? that's right. after the first part where you climb the wall, there is the big cliff thing like five feet down where you squeeze through the two rubber things. yeah, falling into that cliff thing hurts! ow. not fun. There was also a wheelchair thing that I tried once and completely sucked at so I was like, "no, never again." umm...a bungee thing that I was afraid to try- two people seatbelt themselves together on a big rubber bouncee thing. they are attached by a bungee cord through a big rubber thing(so if one person pulls the other, they fly back and hit the rubber thing)- well, the point of the game was to run forward, get a football into a basketball hoop, run back to the middle, get your other football, and make it into the basketball hoop before the other person. So I saw...Caralie and Justin battle it out on this..and Andy and Michael. eek. I would have died. There was also a jousting thing..looked like
this
I wouldn't have minded trying that with sarah, but we never really found the time. We also did a bunch of team activities(MY TEAM SUCKED)- it was random, I was on the "Red Stars" because that's the pattern that was on our wrist bands(which was how the teams were random). I spent the team activities talking to Meredith Stewart about how much I sucked at these team things. We did obstacle course(someone pushes another person on the cart around cones...change a pom-pom in the cone, run back. we also did tug-of-war, potato sack races, and balloon-popping(you're in line, person in front of you runs, when they run, you start blowing up the balloon, they get back, you run, sit on the balloon to pop it, etc.) so my team lost EVERYTHING. but that's okay.
We went into the big auditorium thing..everyone got a door-prize(I got a hair cut), everyone got $20, and a few people got to spin the wheel(not unlucky meredith)- the only time I ever did was sophomore year...but I won $400, yo. Then the auction began. The hot items were...ipod minis and digital cameras. But I got a kitchen basket(which is...a basket, three dishtowels, a set of plates, bowls, mugs, and a set of silverware for eight. plus a seven piece set of pots for cooking in and 3 cake pans. 15,001 points. heck yeah. sadly, 2,149 points that remained in my possession were not enough to win anything.) sarah won a computer desk for 11 thousand something points. I think 11,400? kevin won an emergency car kit(like...jump-start cables, glove compartment thing...first-aid kit...the hammer that breaks your windows safely...I can't remember what else...for...how much? 11,000? Maybe. but there were 99 prizes auctioned. the ones that caught my eye were...all the kitchen sets, the b-b-q basket(it was like...a freaking grill, a tub of charcoal, and a brush kit thing. I could always learn how to barbeque, right?), the 20" flat screen, dvd player, and vcr tvs. those were very cool. (and very expensive!!)
So hope you had a nice time hearing about my weekend...? I'll post pictures sometime.
