**Fun in the Sun**
Holy cow. I haven't written forever. AKA a month and a day.
So sorry for all of you, aka me, that actually follow my blog and have been wondering whats going on in my strange, strange life. So, here's your update.
- I did find my journal. Of course it was in plain sight the whole time.
- France. In a word, CRAZY! It is very different there and very hard to explain it really. You'll just have to go there someday for yourself to figure out what it's really like.
- Summer. Well for the about 2 weeks of summer I have actually been home, I've loved it. Here are just some of the fun activities I've participated in.
* Picnics. One of my all time favorite activities! I had an excellent one with Kyle after grad at a beautiful park, a good one with Spencer with parmesean and noodles, mmmm, a fun one with watermelon and cake with Jensen, Syd, Meggie, Kim, and Sarah! Needless to say, I thouroughly enjoy picnics.
* Trampolines. I have a strange lure to trampolines. I love that black bouncy fabric. To sit on, jump around on, dance on, star gaze on, sleepovers on, they're fab.
* Frolicking in corn fields. Even if it wasn't really corn but tall tall weeds, and even if Jensen has to ruin our pure joy after by saying that there are more dead animals than he can count buried in there. It was beautiful while in our innocence.
* Tucanos. Oh yes, what a fun night. From Meggie begging for Camille to bring us more water because we were parched, to Sarah's sure satisfaction every time the pinapple came around, to Kim trying to choke down sushi, to Syd's stymied face at the waiter aka Megatron's strange sense of humor , to Kaycee's disgusting love of red, blood dripping meat, to me throwing my tongs, and finally to Jensen's sheer amazement at the mechanizm at the planetarium.
* Laser Tagging. Believe it or not folks, its true. I shot Chad Johnson at least 4 times. My life felt complete. No matter I still ended up getting 19th place. Out of 19.
* Parties. Yummy crepes, homemade pizza and classical music and choking down chocolate to not hurt Meggie's feelings, parties that me and Reb only go to the end of... all sticky... Basically I like to party.
* Manti Pageant. Don't worry, they still have the same old voice recordings, the same old strange arm movements, and the same old mosquitos. But Kyle and I got a yummy blue snow cone, and I haven't had one of those for like ever, so that was fantastic!
* Lake Powell. I got to go with Kyle's family! It was oh so fun! Fake tatoos, pink sunscreen on our lips, purple backs, no air conditioning in the truck, catching lizards, star gazing, swimming, "hiking," Devan trying to stump me with Disney quotes, holly jolly ranchers, and just fun fun fun and sun sun sun!
* Rebbie. Oh how I love her. I am so excited to room with her in college!
* The sky. The sky is my favorite, I just love it! The clouds, the moon, the stars, the rainstorms and thunderstorms, they're most excellent!
And that is summer so far. With lots more adventures to come!

French Quirks.
Well... I've been in France for about a week now, and what have I noticed? A LOT of funny things! Funny things about the people, their driving, their stuff, just everything!
The People...
All of the french people are so classy! They just dress classy really. And it seems they can pick Americans out of the crowd very easily, and look at you as if to say, wow, you are NOT french because you are NOT classy. Also, all the french people have two things: dogs and cigarettes. Some have big dogs, some have small dogs, and some have ugly dogs. And EVERYONE here smokes. Smokes when they are eating, when they are walking, when they are sitting, all the time. Therefore, it is hard to find people in france with white teeth. But, there are a LOT of attractive french men, and somehow they are all awkwardly paired with not so attractive french women. And the kissing thing? Once on each cheek? Yep, they do it. It just looks so awkward and weird haha! Also... the toilet paper? Worse than the schools! Definitely not two ply. The french do have a sense of humor though. I happened to be yawning and looking at a police man at the same time, he then proceeded to say "Bonne Nuit!" and laugh hysterically at the same time, and then I also began to laugh hysterically. Maybe it was only funny cuz it was like 2 in the morning my real time... And little French kids, THE cutest things ever. I want one.
Their Driving....
Oh goodness. There is like endless things to say about their driving! They all drive super fast and crazyily! But, they are AMAZING parallel parkers! Which is very necessary here, because that is the only parking they have haha. They all have teeny little cars too, and the roads are very skinny, and practically all one way roads. They don't have double yellows or anything here either. And in Italy, they didn't even have stoplights! It is really funny. But basically all the cars here are smart cars, motorcycles, or boxy little cars. The motorcycle people are even more nuts than the cars! They weave in and out like crazy! Everyone is fearless.
Their stuff...
Their appartments are all little and cute and little! Just everything they have is little really. Their toilets too. It's as if they want to say, nice try obese Americans! But their food, their food is amazing and disgusting at the same time. Crepes, pastries, fresh fruit and veggies, orangina, tons of fromage (cheese), quiche, etc, etc! They are all delicious! Then again... they love eating ducks and lamb and horse and weird meats that spread like toothpaste, shrimp with their heads still on, weird looking things that I don't even want to know what it is... They just have funny food shall we say! Their drinks are funny too. EVERYBODY drinks alcohol here. Everybody is drinking wine or beer, and has coffee or tea after they eat dinner. Its very strange. But I really like it here! France is super neat!

Bitter or sweet? Bittersweet.
Wow, I did it, I'm really done. It is really really crazy! I've been excited all year, and I still am super excited, but it finally has come, and now it's gone.
I walked out of school for the last time as a high school student today.
I said goodbye to my favorite teacher, Mr. Bastian, and will possibly never see him again.
I saw a bunch of kids that I might never see again.
I laughed with my high school friends in the commons area for possibly the last time.
I guess it isn't really goodbye because the people I really want to see again, I will.
And keeping in touch isn't too hard these days.
"A moment like this... I can't believe it's happening to me."
I am SO glad I am graduating and I made it, with honors too!
Goodbye dear old AF high, you're the best!

Bliss...
Figure 1
Today is a blissful day. Period.
Why you may ask?
I got away with sleeping in Mosterts class, and what a lovely nap it was.
I got to tie-dye and learn a new pattern in chemmie!
I got to sing by Richard Flores, I just like him a lot!
I took my last AP test EVER! AP Chem, and felt good about it!
I can finally graduate from high school, and never go back to East Shore!
I got a strawberry shake my darling siblings made me!
I had a parallel parking and popsicles adventure with Perry!
And I don't have anything to do for like an hour!
Bliss... Pure bliss...

Figure 1 is how I look on the outside.
Figure 2 is how I feel on the inside!

ISEF...
Well folks, I did it! I went to the International Science and Engineering Fair. I qualified to be one of the smartest 1500 in the world! Which is defnitely weird... I do not consider myself in that category. Well it was SUPER fun though! What a great trip! We did a ton a fun stuff! Including bowling, watching funny shows, laughing, wrestling, swing dancing, sky coastering, hannah montana impressioning, unfortunately interviewing and sitting through very boring awards ceremonies, meeting lots of new and fun people, acting crazy, and just plain having fun! I was really glad Carly got to come and be my roommate and she won an iPod touch! That was so cool! I'll admit it was a little jealous ;) But I had a ton of fun with Spencer and Mike, they are such funny boys! I'll miss them in college. Good thing me and Spencer are neighbors! Well Annicka and David won 4th, Evan and Matt and Bridger won 3rd, and Steven and Riley and Walter won 2nd. All of them, except Evan, also recieved special awards. I was very proud of them all! We didn't win anything, but just being 
there is an amazing thing! I was just glad to go! And now I can also get barley to grow in Utah, where it isn't grown because it doesn't grow! Well, I like being away from home, but it is good to be back. Now I just have to go clean my room so I can stand being in it... oh unfortunate OCD. Well, I will definitely miss hanging out with Mike and Spencer all day every day. But it was an unforgettable week!
