Today,we had a half day because of our 9th grade retreat. The theme for the retreat was "friends." First, we played 2 stupid games, then we watched a slideshow with pictures of famous friends(friends, the oc, dawsons creek, the two elves or w/e from lord of the rings, lucy and ethel, etc.). That part was pretty cool. Then, we did a few activites. One, in which, we had to name our bestest friends, then close friends, then good friends, then aquaintances, then people we just know. It actually made me think a lot. I didn't know whom to put at first. I ended up with Leslie, Catherine, and Hannah in the best friends group(we could only have 5 or less), then Emily, and everyone in the group from school in the really close friends, and then so on. They said today, that you're true friends are the ones you'll still be friends with in 10, 20, 30 years. I don't know if I'll still be friends with the same people, but for the most part I really hope I am. It stresses me out to think that maybe one day, I won't have Leslie to gossip with, or Catherine to laugh with, or Hannah to tell my secrets too. I worry a/b not having Emily to ask for advice, or Molly to serenade. To not have Sarah to make fun of people with, haha well that's what we do usually. To not have Ashlee to dance and sing with in the middle of the halls. All that just scares me. I mean, I guess I can't expect that everyone who is here for me now will be there for me when im older. In fact, I doubt many will be. People grow up, and they move, and change. In some ways, that sucks, in others I guess it's a good thing. Anyway, I after the retreat, Lauren, Leslie, Ashlee, Calle, Meg, Niki, Sarah, Sam, and I went to lunch at Mcalisters. It was fun, we talked a/b certain people(cough big red cough), what Dreher was like for Lauren, etc. Then, we walked over to Baskin Robbins, and I sang "Locomotion" to Meg, Sam, and Niki..I think I embarassed them. Broadway Bound was alright tonight. We didn't dance much b/c Dedra wasn't there. We worked on "One Short Day", and I got a "solo" which was really only a few words. I sang ugly. I bet Catherine and Hannah will get to be Galinda and Elphaba. They deserve it. Well, that's all I really have to write a/b. bye.
