Today was my sister, Krystal's, high school graduation. It was nice. I was okay with not crying until the end and the graduates were filing out of the gymnasium. I looked over at my dad, and he was crying and had tissues in his hand. Seeing the soft side of my dad always melts my heart and I ended up teary eyed myself. I get annoyed during award ceremonies because the same five kids always get 95% of the awards. Today was no different. It was also really cool though because one girl was in Portugal as a foreign exchange student for the last half of her senior year and won't be arriving at the Syr. airport until midnight tonight. She was the salutatorian so they had her record her speech via webcam and then played it during graduation. She's actually the daughter of the guy who played Charlie Bucket in the original Willy Wonka movie.
After the ceremony, we went to this 50's style diner called The Soda Fountain. It was really cool and now one of my top 3 favorite restaurants. The waitresses were in poodle skirts and there were cardboard cutouts of stars who were famous in the 50's, like Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. A lot of the menu items were named after cars made in the 50's. I had double cheese burger and fries. Before that came, I had some homemade Italian bread. After that, me and my youngest sister split a delicious sundae that had soft vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, and fudge swirls. I was so full by that time, but it was yummy!
And now I am back at camp, contemplating napping because I am tired! I had to be up at 6/7 am every morning for the past week. Might as well get used to it, haha.
I've decided I don't like blogging about my innermost thoughts and emotions. I think the main reason is because emotions are constantly changing. I can be annoyed at a person one day and then perfectly fine with them the next day. So there's no point in blogging about an emotion if you know it's not going to last. That's my opinion anyway. I think this might actually be my last blog for awhile because I feel like I never have anything to blog about anymore. My life at camp is pretty much the same everyday. I help cook and prepare food in the kitchen most of the day and then I relax and hang out with staff at night. If something really exciting happens, that I think is blogworthy, then sure I'll hop on here. But if not, then what's the use?
Take luck! (It's a camp thing) :D
