While wondering what in the world the rest of my former classmates and students were doing this summer I decided to check out this wonderful blog site that Mrs. Dunigan forced us to create [complete joke there]. I realized after reading a few of my blogs that I do enjoy to vent, write, and blab about what I am doing right now or what just happened. The good thing is I am no longer graded on my writing ability and whether or not I have three blogs posted by Friday for Mrs. Dunigan to grade. Although I do miss that and the procrastination that would come from it, I feel a sense of freedom on what I write; no offense Mrs. Dunigan. With out a doubt this site is great for myself and others to express themselves and keep in contact.
Graduation day was quite hot and long. I don't think I've ever taken that many picutes, repeated my future plans that many times, sweat that much, or eat that much food in a long time. Needless to say it was totally worth it because I spent quality time with my family and friends I care for most. Waking up early Sunday after a hectic Saturday was rough, especially when you are leaving for the beach for a week and can't remember what you've packed. Let's just say I forgot a few items in my suitcase. Other than that the beach trip was a success, four girls driving to the beach with music blaring and running on a few hours of sleep didn't get lost even once!! Suprising I know, but we are graduates! The beach trip was beauitful and amazing even though within three days of being there bad news came our way. Our good friend, as well as many others down at the beach, was killed in a deadly accident at Westport Marina. Nate Coppick with forever be in our hearts and forever leave his smile and laughter behind.
After a few days of comfort from friends down at the beach and words of sympathy from family we made it through the week having to sadly leave the beach and all its great memories. I will never forget those times at the beach and the moments us girls had. Now it is time for us to grow and move forward into the professional world. College orientation at UNCC was great, met some awesome people and now involved in Club Volleyball. I can't wait to attend my first day of class and be murdered with books and homework....it's going to be great. Other than that things are great, oh wait I have to go back to work today, so not so great. Closing on that.
