High School!

Don't get me wrong becasue I love ninth grade, but I absolutely can't wait for high school! I was at the Davis High Football game on friday, and I was talking to some of my friends that are in high school. They all said that high school is so much fun, and I just can't wait! The thing that I'm most excited about is being able to drive! It scares me a little bit, but just being able to go where I want when I want sounds so great. Now I won't have to wait for my mom to take me, or make my brother take me somewhere grudgingly. Another fun thing about high school will be the dances. The big asking and answering thing sounds so fun, and then dressing up will be a blast. I just hope I won't have an embarassing experience like a girl that lives by me did. The Peters are a really fun family that live down the street from me, but their daughter Mckenzie had a funny experience with a boy asking her to prom. The boy was sitting in his car by her house, and her dad is a policeman. When he saw the boy lurking by their house he walked over to get mad at him. The boy was scared out of his wits, and when he was asked what he was doing he quickly responded, "I'm here to ask your daughter to prom sir." Her dad felt extremely stupid and learned his lesson. The Peters's have an ongoing joke about that incident now. My brother went to homecoming last night and I can't wait till I'm old enough. All the girls' dresses were so elegant and fancy. Jess's dress was such a pretty color of turquoise I fell in love with it. My sister has a dress that fits me already and it just makes me even more excited for high school. The boys' suits looked so nice, and I think they even had a little dressing up for the dance. Another fun thing about high school will be all the fun classes that you can take. I am really into history and the civil war, it's kinda funny how much I love it. I first figured out my obsession when I read Gone with the Wind. I just find the time so interesting with all of its history. So I will be very happy when I can take A.P. American from Mrs. Dau, who I hear is an amazing teacher. Also, something fun about high school will be that all the boys won't be short anymore, and they will look more grown up.
So the other day after mutual, all the young men and women came over to my house and we had duck. It was surprisingly one of the best things I have every put in my mouth. It had the same texture as steak, and almost tasted the same except it was a lot sweeter. I just love trying new things, whether its food or just something I've never experienced before!
