Picture Day
Today is picture day, 8-27, and like every year all one of Apollo High School's students has gone out his or her way to make sure they look super extra specially nice for the their grandmother or their parents. I've already taken my picture and everything was fine, unlike last year's incident. It was picture day 2009 and like the year before and even before that I was dressed up super fly. My name was called and I marched in to the little gym like everyone else. I was anxious and ready to see my picture before I'd even gotten to the camera. They were calling us one at a time and when my name was called I stood at attention and sat down on the oh so familar cushony box. The camera lady had a face of pure evil, altough I couldn't quite pinpoint why. I smiled and set myself, but this didn't please the witch, she asked me in an eerie voice to tilt my head to an angle. So agreeingly I slighty tilted my head, but that wasn't enough for her, she kept asking me to tilt my head even more until it felt like it was snapping underneath me. And that is why I have without an unreasonable doubt the absolute worst picture in the yearbook this year. Go ahead and check it out. I dare you.

Egyptian Proverb
"Friendship doubles happinies and halves grief" - Egypt
To me this saying means that friendship not only makes life worth living twice as much, but it also helps take whatever pain someone might have away by nearly half. Whenever my last grandparent died I didn't have much to say, no tears rolled down my face but I could still taste the salt. Even though I sat in silence I knew it hurt, and if I hadn't had friends to help me through it I just can't even imagine what I would do. That was several years ago, and I just had a mass dedicated to her where my entire family showed up in rememberance.

8-15-10
Today, Sunday August 15th 2010, I woke up for church at approximately 6:30 a.m. I scrambled to get to the shower before my slug of a sister could even manage to open her crust sealed eyes. Once I was out and ready for a great hour at church I managed to catch a couple of Zzz's. Felt pretty good. After mass my family and I rushed home to get changed and head over to my Aunt Donna's house for a home made breakfast. While the rest of my family changed into shorts and a comfortable t-shirt I changed into work pants and a maroon covered Malco uniform. I had to be at work by 11:00 clock and work until 6:00 p.m. It was a fantastical day!
