Memories of 2008

This year has given me a lot to look back on. A LOT

First of all, the D.C. trip
AMAZING!
That trip changed a lot of things, although all of the 2008 class of JMS are basically just finding about them now. Well, at least, I am.
I feel sorry for the rest of them who missed out.

Second of all, promotion from 8th grade
That would have been one of the best moments of my life if it weren't for that stupid speech I had to do. That was sooooooooooo embarrassing especially when I messed up...Oh god.. Don't even want to remember
The crazy round of photos and hugs made memories that will last for a long long time.
After tat was enjoyable though because of the lunch with Karen, Jennifer, and norm. But that's old news.

Then, it was Nationals
Who knew it could be so enjoyable and that I would now have so many memories to look back on?
The summer at Florida and Indiana for those two almost three weeks was AWESOME! I had so much fun (although Liane worked our butts off).
Looking back now, it is hard to think of the work we put in, but mostly the feeling of success of having made it on the International Cup Team to go to Australia..
It is the most exhilarating feeling.

After that was Taiwan.
Meeting my family there after so long (5 years) was kind of awkward, but after a few hours on the first day, my cousins and I were acting as we were before when I came to visit.
I think I did enough shopping there to last me a long time! =)
I can't wait till the next time I go back.

Now, it's high school and 9th grade.
They say freshmen year is easy, but if it's this hard now, who knows how hard it's going to get later on?
That's enough said..

I can't wait until the clock turns 12
~Welcome 2009!!~

Talking

Haven't you noticed that the hardest thing for us to do is talk to other people about what we really feel? Even if they are our closest friends, we still can't seem to tell them everything. Although we can tell them some things that we can;t tell other people, but there are just some of those things that we don't tell them.
It's frustrating for me because even if I wanted to say something, I can't. The words just don't come out of my mouth. Ever have that feeling?
You think I want to say something... but you don't. Then you regret your decision not to say anything, but the next time a moment presents itself, you still can't say anything.
Is it really that hard for all of just to tell the people closest to us how we feel?
Would that be too much to ask?
I would feel better knowing something because that person had that much trust in me to tell me. Your confidence in your friendship drops if your friend doesn't tell you anything or don't confide in you.
I HATE that feeling
