Okay, I lied. Kinda. Idk. I said I'd talk about the picnic, and possibly formal. Well, I will but not in too much detail. A) Because it was 2 weeks ago and B) My memory is kinda blurry and I could talk about recent stuff instead.
Okay so, picnic. We were given permission to wear mufti, which I'm thankful for. Going to that park in Homebush was interesting, when I first saw it, it didn't look that fun but it turned out good :) So, I hung out with different people that day. That was because my 2 closest friends had their own friends to hang out with. Mainly though, I was with Amber. We found the swings first of all and were there playing by ourselves but then others came along so we went to explore. We found our way to that climbing thingy where people were jumping up & down trying to scare others, though I was just having fun. Next was the flying fox where we only had a turn each before going to Becky, Tamara Matthew and that guy who I have no idea who the hell he is :/ I didn't really stay there and went to the pond instead. I came back 5mins later and they were going so Amber and me split from them. Back where everyone was, I felt like playing soccer but there was no one to play with. But then Hussein kinda offered to play to we did :) Though he kept kicking it to the side so I had to run after it a lot -.- Because it had been raining the previous day, it was pretty damp still and running through it killed my shoes. I also slipped once and got the whole right side of me wet... wasn't nice. We played for a while longer before I stepped out for a bit because someone else joined in. Just as I was going back he walked away so I decided to find people. I found Amber and we hung out a bit more before joining up with the guys to play with water balloons! It was difficult but was fun. I didn't really get too many people but one time when I walking to the bin, Daniel had a hold on Matthew and I had a balloon and I got Matthew right in the back of the neck and soaked him :D It got Daniel too and I was proud of myself but I had to run away otherwise Matthew would have gotten me back :P We had to leave so everyone went back and I still had some left and managed to get Tamara, and I tried to get David N. by surprise but it just bounced off him and got the floor ._. Then there was a whole year photo before heading off to the buses. The ride back was awkward though, thanks to some people.
Thursday was graduation and then formal. Morning tea was being held for us so I arrived early, and went into the senior study where we hung out and later took a group photo with whoever was there, including Mrs Cocoran! When the time for morning tea came, almost everyone shuffled out, and I was still in there with 2 others. One though, unexpectedly started crying so I gave them a hug, which kinda made me sad that were finishing school. I won't name them in this case, just because they'd kill me >.> Nah, they'll just be embarrassed. Maybe. Outside, we ate, talked and some people gave presents to their teachers. While I hate photos with me in them, I had to take some with people just because there weren't many with me in it, and now I regret that so I took some with friends on the day. When the bell rang, everyone moved to the hall for rehearsal. It took a while, but soon the ceremony started. I knew I would tear up, but I wouldn't cry in front on this many people. It didn't help that others around were crying as well :( Well, graduation finished and we all went outside to see everyone. As soon as I went outside, I started crying, and not just tearing up but actually crying -.- Hahhhh it was embarrassing but some friends saw and gave me a hug for me to feel better. While others went home, I stayed there as long as a could taking photos with everyone to keep the memories. Soon I was one of the last ones so I went home to get ready for the formal.
Well, I got locked out. Yay. And I couldn't contact my sister to get the keys either. I ended up having to call my parents, who were still at the hospital at that time to ask them for the keys. My aunt who was with them brought it to me and I finally got in 2 hours later.
So, I had to get ready by myself, because my sister was still at school and my mum wasn't home. Luckily, while I don't know how to put on makeup very well, my mum taught me the Sunday before. When school was over, my sister did my hair for me. Halfway through, at around 4:30, the teachers came. Why? They were supposed to pick me up at 5 but came early, so I ended up rushing :/ Well, I still managed to be done, and so I left.
The car ride wasn't that awkward, because all 3 were science teachers I've had before and they could talk among themselves so it was fine. We arrived there first, before any one else. Walking from the carpark to the place was difficult for me because I never wear heels nor a long dress, so I was tripping over the hem quite a bit.
Once we got in there, the teachers began setting up a bit, and I helped out to kill time. A little while later, some of the guys I hang out with came so I went with them down into the foyer. We talked for a bit while others starting arriving as well. Everyone then started taking pictures because it was a formal and everyone was dressed so nicely! It was then time for it to start so everyone went upstairs. As with most (or all) events, it started out kind of boring. I didn't talk much at my table, as it was people I don't usually hang out with nor talk to often but were still my friends. We were served the food and while eating, we were to vote on the Formal King & Queen and that sort of stuff. There were also award ceremonies for a bit. Later, people started dancing. I really didn't want to because it's embarrassing for me. Add to that I was being followed around. Which started getting on my nerves the past week or two. I tried to join in but then he would too and gaahhhhhhh. Just no. Then Becky and Raksha made me slow-dance. Thank you, that was very embarrassing and I hate you twooooooo. Okay, not actual hate but still, I didn't want to. It only lasted less than a minute though. And yeah, I spent a majority of the rest to the time dancing occasionally slipping downstairs to get away from the crowd. That and I was still being followed so I had to run away.... Sorry, I'm not trying to be mean but it did kind of annoy me :/ At one point Becky and me had gone downstairs and we were just sitting there talking about some stuff. It was nice to get away from all those people and talk for a bit. That, and I find that I like talking about the deeper topics sometimes, especially with Becky because it's really easy to talk to her. After a bit, we went back up and joined in with everyone. It continued until it was time to stop, where we all went to take a whole year photo. After that, downstairs we went and began taking more photos and saying our goodbyes. I was getting sad again, but thankfully I didn't cry. After waiting for most people to go, the teachers took me home because it was getting late.
Why am I writing about something from 2 weeks ago?
Because I don't like forgetting things. I fear that I'll forget things, and that'll I'll lose these memories forever. Thus why I have to write everything down. It's much like how I keep everything and can't throw away things. They have memories attached, and throwing them away feels like throwing away those memories. That's why I don't delete old files, or throw away past schoolwork. I can't even delete my old blog because if I leave it, I'll be able to read through those memories again.
Geh, I started writing this two days ago...
