Last Day

Last day of summer vacation AND of being fourteen. It's kind of sad, turning fifteen. I guess to me, fourteen was kind of the last year of being little. Now I have to start high school and grow up and be responsible. Obviously, it will be a work in progress, but this is where it really starts. Thirteen started the preperation, and fifteen is another milestone, for me anyway. Maybe because I like numbers divisible by five.
Anyway, to celebrate tomorrow we're going to Grandma's house with our cousins for cupcakes, pizza and High School Musical. The reason behind watching HSM is that a) I love that movie (not gonna lie, it's hilarious) and b) My best friend, Lilli, and Holly and I have decided to watch it on the first day of school every year. So, that's what we're doing. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for wanting Papa John's for my birthday, but it is my favorite pizza place ever and I haven't had it ages.
Anyway, I have to go to bed right now, so, adios!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO.... ME!!!!

Woot, woot! Today was my birthday and the first day of school! I was crazy nervous, but I survived! And I managed to get my locker open THREE WHOLE TIMES WITHOUT HELP! I am quite proud of this magnificent feat.
To start from the beginning:
We had breakfast at Starbucks. :) (frappichino and coffee cake, my friend. It was delicious)<br>
Then we drove to school. And a LOT of seniors, juniors and a couple sophomores were standing on the sidewalk as we drove up to the building, with signs and screaming. I waved awkwardly. When we actually got to the doors, more older kids had a tunnel with their hands that I ran through. Inside, there were a lot of freshmen standing around awkwardly not knowing what to do. After a couple minutes, we were directed to the auditorium by the ambassadors (older kids). The Principal talked to us, the Student Council President talked, they did a little skit. It was highly amusing.
We went to our classes for twenty minutes each, so the teachers could help us find the rooms and get to know the teachers and other kids.
Then was the most interesting part of the day- Lunch.
Somebody (my amazing aunt) dropped off a present for me at school, and a lunch I suddenly hear, "It's Addison Herndon's birthday! Addison, come up here!" And so I went to the front of the commons and stood on a chair and they sang Happy Birthday. It was slightly awkward, but fun at the same time. They gave me Aunt Mimi's present, which was a HUGE basket with a ton of cookies in it. Her note: p.s. do NOT leave any cookies for me!
We did eat quite a few. :)
The rest went down pretty much the same way.
The day made me really excited for the school year, and I love the people. 

Short Update

Well, lately I've totally failed on posting. :P BUT I have done quite a bit of writing in stories that I keep to myself.
I've had a very fun and memorable week. We went swimming everyday, got to go to Exploration Place, ate WAAAAY too much ice cream, and generally had fun.
And I have good news!! Holly, my 12 year old sister, is going to school this year. It's a different school than me, but it should be good. It'll me so weird for everyone having us both in school. And I have to go, adios!!

Grandma Camp!!!

Officially, it's a week of the four girls (Addi, Holly, Lilli and Kensi) staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house, helping them, sewing, cooking, and being sweet, perfect granddaughters.

In reality, it's a time of laugh attacks, ice cream, singing at the top of our lungs, swimming, movies and occasionally cooking and sewing. It's awesome.
