Summer Break

Summer break was coming up so there were a few events at our school such as the last school day, the special awards ceremony and the field day.
So the last school day was on tuesday the 8th. Only if you had a B in any subject you would have to take the final exam. I had to take it in english on Friday. So on tuesday there was this award ceremony. I got an award and a medall for being an A and B student and another medall for being an exchange student.


All foreign exchange students. I will miss them :(



Ms VanHoose called all the exchange students up to the front, held a speech (cried a little while doing it) and then gave the word to Christian. Christian (the other german) has always been like the leader of the foreigners... Whenever we had to pray or do whatever he'd lead us. And it has always been funny because he's acting soooo old... I mean 'grown' haha :D And while he was speaking in front of the whole entire school and he was saying stuff like: 'Thanks to the teachers. And thanks to the whole stuff for accepting us, even though it was hard a lot of times..." and while he was saying these words, I kinda realized that this would be the last time he'd be leading us... And I just kinda started crying a little. Nobody realized it but when Mr. Hale was done with his ending speech and I went to my locker for the last time I really started crying. I spin away my combination (38-28-02) for the last time, got my stuff out of it for the last time, and went down the hallway in a Somerset Christian Uniform for the very last time. I wouldn't stop crying until about an hour afterwards... Then Whitney cheered me up with an immitation of me in Science class. I had to hold a speech in a group of three and I wasn't prepared at all but by the way americans hold speeches (with reading off exactlu what's written on the poster) I thought I don't have to. The topic was 'The computer as a brain'. Whitney was like: "And suddenly you used your 10pm bedroom voice! 'So... Everybody's paying attention right now!' And I mean... it worked! Everybody was paying attention! And then you've been like: 'The computer has to be as fast as the brain. Taryn! Catch this!' You threw this weird frog at her and said: 'Did you think about catching it? No! Exactly!'. I was thinking: What is she doing?!". Haha, Gabby even said I should be a teacher! Guess you're always best when you don't try to be!

Then we watched 'Desperate Housewives' and everything was fine again. Sometimes it's great having a sister ♥

The next day was the Field Day. That means we had some games after noon. It was hilarious. There were water slides and we played in our chapel groups as a team. My team got 2nd place, yaaay! I've been so wet but it was great! I had so much fun!



Emily and me waiting for going on the water slide...
We'd take like forever to get up there because we'd fall
down a millions of times, haha :D















Many things are confusing about this picture...
1) Why is Zach holding Abby's arm so lovely?
2) What am I doing, there in the back?
3) Why is David climbing this stone?!
