Here it is! My last post of the school year. I said school year because who knows, maybe I'll become blog famous and in that case, I would be blogging more! Probably not. It was such a fun experience being able to blog! It was rough at first because I didn't really know how to use it and it confused me. Actually, just figuring out my theme took forever! But, now I'm pretty happy with it and even though no body even reads it, it's fine! Does it hurt? Yes. But will I let it get to me? No. Maybe. It actually doesn't even matter, it's a blog! It's not a popularity contest! Anyways, I can't say that I've loved every second of it because there have been times when I was writing my last post at 11:45 at night. Not really my kind of fun on a Friday night but it was my fault for leaving it to the last minute.
How have I changed this year? Well, I'm not sure if he means in my blog or just in life in general, but I'll just go for both!
1. I've become a lot more mature. I know what's appropriate to do at certain times, and what's not.
2. I've added more voice to my writing. This blog has actually helped me add more voice to even those boring essays about Romeo and Juliet.
3. I tried new sports! Swimming, not high school but I tried it not because I wanted to. Because I was forced. Track! Again, can't say I loved every second but, it was still fun.
4. My style. I went from a girl who dressed like everyone else, but kind of a sad, failed effort. To someone who doesn't really care what people think because I just wanna be comfortable.
5. I know who my real friends are. Not the people you get mad at me for nothing just to create drama. The people who I actually have a fun time with in and out of school!
6. I think I grew a little.
7. I traveled further. All the way to Paris! Check out my blog post about it @egideon18
8. I learned all the countries Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. Thanks Mr. Hase.
9. I gained confidence. Before this year I would let people be rude to be but now if you're rude to me just be prepared for some sass right back at ya.
10. And I learned how to annotate and write an essay about a book. Thanks Mr. Parker, but next time I'll pass on the Killer Angels. :)

Ninth grade was full of lots of fun memories that I'll remember forever. I couldn't of made it through this year with out my friends and it's hard to believe that we only have 3 more weeks of school left. Through all the hard tests, it doesn't even matter because we still have three more years of high school to worry about grades! Hahaha just kidding I wanna go to college. But anyways, this blog is probably over so I'll just end with...
As if forth quarter isn't hard enough, now it's raining and hasn't stopped since Monday. So much for Spring. You look outside and all you see is gray clouds and rain dripping down your window. I barely wanna get up when it's sunny outside, but when it's raining it's almost impossible. So I roll out of bed, and somehow manage to get dressed in my most comfortable outfit. For me it's usually leggings and a flannel or a sweatshirt. Then it turns out that you actually woke up 20 minutes late and you were too slow getting ready so you're late for your bus. So, you sprint out the door, without breakfast, into the pouring rain. Then it turns out that your bus is late too so you sit there, in the pouring rain, for more minutes. It's at this point when you really consider faking being sick just so you can go back to bed. All you wanna do is curl up in bed, grab your phone and watch Netflix. But then the bus comes and you go find a seat and stare out the window like you're in some romance drama written by Nicholas Sparks. You put in your headphones and try to block out everyone on the bus until you finally get to school.

Ugh school. School+ Rain= Bad. Especially when you have a class at the high school and you have to walk over to the high school. By the time you actually get inside you're hair's wet and your jeans are uncomfortably chafing your legs. Then after school you get back on the bus, put your head phones in and wait for your stop. I'm lucky because my stop is just my driveway but it's still not a fun walk. I finally get home, get a snack and get ready for soccer. Only to find out that soccer has been cancelled. ALL WEEK. So instead of soccer, I put on some sweatpants and crawl into bed. I usually watch a few TV shows and then, if I have enough effort, I'll do a little homework. Then there's dinner, and then back into bed for a few more episodes. And finally it's time for bed.
Then you start the whole thing over again for the rest of the week.
The only thing that really changed was Friday. Instead of soccer practice we had a game, but a game without practice wasn't looking very good. So we all get there, put our cleats on and start our warm up. Then there was lighting, and screaming, and next thing you know we were all frantically running into our cars. And we wait. And wait. And wait, for an hour while it started snowing! Turns out the game is cancelled so as a team we go to Maxwell's!! It was super fun and even though it wasn't the whole team we still made some fun memories. And really that was my exciting week (she said sarcastically). Hopefully next week will be warmer, and a little more fun-filled...
