The End of Sophmore Year.

Every year my school hosts a Senior Banquet. This year, although not as special as last year, was awesome. The Junior class did an awesome job planning it. This was the last year that we had British people in our school due to lack of appropriate programing. I was able to go early to help set up. I was stuck in a car with my friend David and (my sorta-friend) Austin. David was the D.J. for this event and he was still making last minuet decisions on what music to play. Grace, my best friend, lent me a dress. My mom wasn't around so, I had to take the pictures myself. Please forgive me seeing as, they may not be that good (Lol). God has given me so many blessings this year. I some times take them for granted. I appologize so much for this. I know I live in a place unfamiliar to many yet, I know that I could be in a worse situation. I have great friends, my family is whole, and I know that I am loved.
We went through quite a lot of dances while I was reflecting over my life. I think the most important questions in life are; Have you found joy in your life? Has your life brought joy to others? And do you know our savior? As I began to think of all these things I wonder if I've brought joy to others. What do people think when they see me coming...end even more important, when I'm leaving. This train of thought guided me through the year as I repeatedly thought of them over and over. I was interupted by a large group of moshers dancing to a song by the "Black Eyes Peas." I had so much fun that night. Every thing in those moments but, they had to end bringing sorrow in with the next wave. I wish that I could re-live the year. There is so much that I would have done differently. I would have changed things in my friendships, like with Annie. She was like a sister to me yet, we let something little come between us and seperate us.
I danced with Jamshid, Raquel, Elliot, Priscilla, Lala, Joanna, and Peter. (This detail was encluded for my mom.) I danced a scottish dance with Peter and he kept getting to the middle first. I told him that I was going to beat him to the middle so, Ryan (youth leader) said "Oh! Maybe that's how this thing works." He threw me into the middle so, I was successful in beating Peter. (: There are several people that left the school after this year. They are had a special place in my heart but, I was invited to go to England by the Jones family. Mrs. Jones told me that I was welcome any time in their home. I am looking forward to, hopefully (if it's okay with the 'rents), planning a trip there.
When the night was over and all the dancing was done we went home and I found strangers in my house. The Underwoods had arrived from Texas! Thing have been pretty crazy around here. They're a fun family but, it doesn't feel as if this is our apartment. I've been cleaning up like crazt and trying to prepare for our trek back. I really miss the munchkin (my little sister). The days pass slowly. I watch my time float away. I want to see the smiling faces of all my friends. I want to go swimming and be able to run by myself. Every single call weighs down my heart. I sit waiting to hear your voice. I wait and wait and still there is nothing but the cool air and the sound of my own hear. I hope to see you all soon.
I love you!
There is always hope,
Kirstie.
