I have decided to make a log to remember special occasions and events that I have endured.


School is ending in 2 1/2 weeks and this is my last year at OLS. I will be graduating with my class of 13 in May 29. I will really miss everyone there since I knew them for 10 years. Besides I bet there aren't people in the world that are weird as the people in my class. I also fear that I might lose contact with my friends over the years. My best friend is Allison, she is hillarious I almost choke from laughter when she jokes around. My teacher for 8th grade is Ms.Guide. It was her first time being a teacher. She is in her mid 20s and she is HOT!. She is a great teacher but she was lazy. She would make us grade everything we did. The only things she would grade were big projects. She would usually call all of us weirdos every day because we are that weird. :p

Today was the Dance-a-thon at school. Everyone was dressed up nicely. Most of the girls wore tank tops and the guys wore T- shirts. Mia's father was the disc jockey, he played all of the top ten songs of the year and many other popular songs from famous artists. Mostly Pop was played during the whole festival. There was one song from the 1900s that was played, the girls started slow dancing with eachother when that song started. One of the elderly teachers requested this song and then she said a brief speech after the song finished, she said that was the kind of music she grew up with. I danced with the girls that were in my class...The hot girls =p. The whole Dance-a-thon lasted for 4 hours.

Today was the 8th grade field trip. We went to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee Illinois. Everyone went to the trip except Sam. When we arrived at Six Flags, we got into our groups. Mitzi, Iliana, and Lynn went by themselves wandering the park while all the rest of us were together. The first ride all of us went on together was the Condor. Then after that we went to the Dark Night. It was really cool how it was an indoor rollercoaster and how dark it was. The girls went together on the tram in front of us and we 3 boys were on the tram behind them. We could hear all of them screaming throught out the whole ride. I didn't even get scared on that ride. The girls only stayed on the ride for 1 round while we went again for another ride. After we got off the girls were mad that we got to ride again. Then the girls went on the Dark Knight again. WHile the girls were in The Dark Knight we went on The Superman which was next to the Dark Knight. This was my first steel rollercoaster I went on. It was amazingly fun. I love how you are positioned like superman and how it feels like you are flying. It is my favorite rollercoaster of all time. I went on a total of 20 times on that ride. Since there were barely any lines at Six Flage, my friends and I went on The Superman for a continuous 7 times in a row. Then after that we went on King Chaos. It hurt being held upside down for a minute. After we all rode that, we watched the group that came on the ride after us. Some guy's iTouch phone fell and broke in 5 directions from that ride. After that all of our groups met up then we ate lunch. After that we went on the Tea Cup Ride. (It was such a perfect ride to ride after eating =P ) I went in a Tea Cup with Mia and Allison. We were going as fast as we could. Allison kept yelling " KEEP GOING FASTER!"  which made us go faster than 50 MPH. Surprisingly no one threw up... After that I went on the canoe ride that swings with Kaitlyn and Franklin. After that we went on the Ricochet. We all continuously went on that ride for 3 times. Then we went on the Demon. I sat next to Franklin, Allison sat with her mother, and Mia sat next to Kaitlyn. It was a cool rollercoaster. The end with the 2 twists made me bang my head on the safety bars a few times. Franklin and I got off the ride after 1 time, the girls stayed for another ride. After that we went on the Revolution. It was an okay ride at first. I hated the guy that controlled that ride because when he didn't hear enough screaming he would make the ride go faster. Mia said "I spoke too soon.." when the guy increased the ride speed. We stayed for 2 rounds on the Revolution. After that I had a big headache since I went on rides that spun most of the time. After I gained conscienceness we went on Vertical Velocity.It went 70 MPH into 80 feet in the air. That ride was packed with speed. Franklin was pretending to tie his shoes on the platform of the ride to avoid going on. He ended up not going at all. Then we rode the swings to calm down from all of those rollercoasters we went on. After that we went on the Batman. It was an epic ride. I kept riding it for 5 times. When the ride returned to the platform Allison had to go to the bathroom but she had already pulled down the harness. She asked the guy if she could go off but all he did was  push the harness to see if it was tight enough. He laughed after the ride left the platform... Allison didn't have the urge to go to the bathroom anymore after she got off the ride. We then went to The American Eagle and the Raging Bull. I was surprised to see Natalie stretching her arms up at the steep drop of the Raging Bull since she is afraid of spiders. It then was the last hour before the park closed. We spent most of our time going on The Superman for the rest of the hour. At the entrance of the park we took a group picture of all of us by the lake, then the boys (Including me) took pictures if us with Wonder Woman. We then left the park at 5:00 PM. The bus took us to the Golden Corral to have dinner. After that we set course to Chicago. We got back home at 7:30 PM.

The best part of the whole trip was that there were no lines. We got on every ride with no wait and we got to ride again if we wanted.

It has been a very busy week. Today was our last field trip of the school year. We went to US Cellular Field to watch the White Sox play against the Los Angeles Angels. It was a fun trip. A trolley picked us up from our school to the park. We were served sub sandwiches on the trolley with drinks. When we arrived at the park it was packed. Our seats were in the rows 30- 32 which made us very close to the field. We had great seats. On the first inning the Sox got the Angels out 3 times in a row.  The Sox lost at the end but it was no big deal for me. During the game the girls in my class would stand up, yell, and wave to try the get the camera's attention to focus on them but it never happened. The game lasted from 6:00PM to 10:30PM. The only thing that I didn't like was that someone threw up on one of the hallways next to us and then a guy fell on it ( A drunk...) After the game ended we all held eachother's shoulders while we exited due to the crowed stadium. Allison called it the train of trust, friendship, and Frankliness. She yelled at random people that we were all special. =P The trolley picked us up again and took us home. The trolley's FM radio was broken and everyone wanted music so I used my cell phone as a radio. Everyone was singing along. It was a very great day.

Today was our 8th grade luncheon. We all dressed fancy because it was our special day. I wore a gray fancy long sleeved shirt with a black and silver striped tie. We had a mass dedicated to us in the morning. We all sat in the choir area because we are all part of the choir. After that we had some of our regular classes. In the afternoon we had our luncheon. The lunchroom was decorated with streamers, the cealing had stars hooked on it with our names and pictures, the tables had graduation confetti, candy, and many decorations, and there was also a lot of FOOD. First our 5th grade teacher Mr. Mariotti gave a brief speech about everyone and what they are memorable for. He said I was a great student and a great dancer. He also told the girls if they ever need a dance partner, always call (INSERT MY NAME HERE)... (Everyone just loves my dancing =P ) After he said his speeches the pastor talked about our future journey of life. He said a blessing for all of us and said a prayer before we ate. We had mostly Italian food. They served garlic bread, cesar salad, chicken, rotini, and many other dishes. After we all finished we had dessert. For dessert we had a cake covered with stars, ice cream cones covered in chocolate with rice crispies inside with 3 chocolate star lolly pops sticking out. During dessert they played our CD yearbook. It was a slideshow of all of our pictures throughout the years. I actually started crying a little. I never cry unless someone dies but seeing this is going to be the end of my childhood life and knowing that I might lose contact with all the people I have known over many years made me sad. I have matured so much over this year, that made me a better person and it also prepared me for my future life. After it ended we all recieved bags with many gifts. Everyone was given an expensive bracelet to wear at our graduation. I received a silver bracelet that costs $90. (They left the price tag on) All the girls got silver pearl bracelets while the boys got regular silver bracelets. I also received 3 star shaped baloons (One was red, and was starry blue, green, yellow, red that said "Congratulations Grad!" and one that was covered in confetti that said "CONGRATS GRAD!" ), a Believe sign, a goodie bag, a photo case that has my th grade picture that has a graduation cap on it, a black 2010 graduation tassle keychain, 2010 Graduation bubbles, and copies of our yearbook CD. We are the graduate class of OLS 2010.

My grandmother from Arizona came today. SHe will be staying in Chicago for 4 weeks. She is stayong at my house for 2 weeks until I go on vacation. The main reason she came was for her to come to my graduation. It has been a very busy week for me.
 
May 29 2010

Today was my day of graduation. I never had dreamed this day would come... It was hard to believe this was the big day, the day where I graduate grammar school and leave the place where I had been learning for 9 years.  When I woke up I put on my shiny blue long sleeved shirt with black silky pants. I wore a black fancy sports jacket and I wore my silver bracelet the school had given me. I drank stress relieving tea to make me calm because I was nervous. When I arrived at my school we went to the lunch room. Everyone was putting on their caps and gowns to get ready till the ceremony started. We were all dressed fancy. The guys had black caps and gowns with black and white tassels while the girls had red caps and gowns with red and white tassels. After everyone was dressed we got into our line positions. I was one of the 2 leaders. The order for the right line going into the church was me, Mia, Natalie, Iliana, Lynn, Kaitlyn, and Mitzi. For the left line the order was Eddie, Hilary, Franklin, Julian, Samantha, and Allison. We all started walking from the lunch room to the outside sidewalk then into the church doors. We all stopped in front of the exit signs that were right in the entrance of the church. When the choir director played the graduation theme we started walking down the halls in our order to sit in out reserved seats. Everyone was watching me since I was the first one in my lane and not to mention best looking guy in my class.=P The church has 2 entrances, one on the right side and one on the left so that's why we were in 2 different lines. After all of us got to our seats the mass started. This was the whole order of the mass.

It was a beautiful ceremony. At the end everyone gave Miss Castro (Principal), Miss Guide (My 8th grade teacher), and Mrs Snyder (She just got married and her new name is Zeddinger but we still call her Snyder the Math and Civics teacher) roses. Miss Castro said a speech about us and she cried because we are her favorite class and she will never see us again. Our class is the most intelligent class out of the whole school. 9 out of 13 of us have been on honor roll for all 4 quarters. We are like a family since all of us have known each other since 5th grade. Our class consists of 13, 4 boys and 9 girls. When I told people my graduating class was only a class of 13, they didn't believe me. It was very hard for this family going to our seperate ways. We will always remember eachother forever. All of us have been through a lot this year. Our priest had dies, our teacher's appendix had exploded, our principal had a popped nerve and an eye infection, and we had been through many other hard times but we all overcame them. At the end of the ceremony we all left in a line down the right hallway and then we went to the lunch room where we could take pictures. I took pitcures with all of my teachers I had that attended and I took pictures with Allison. I will always rember this day.

Today we went to Niagria Falls Canada. When we first arrived in Canada it didn't look much different from where I live but it was clemer in Canada than the US... When we made a pit stop I decided to stretch my legs. I was wearing a United States shirt that had the American Flag on it. I decided to cross my arms to cover it due to some Canadians the hate Americans... :p

My grandparents, parents and uncle came on the trip. This is the first time I have ever been out of the country. It took 10 hours to reach Niagria Falls. When we first arrived there we drove around Clifton Hill and drove beside the falls, after that we checked into Comfort Inn. For dinner we went to a restraunt called Mama Mia where I had Salmon with Alferdo pasta and shrimp. We walked around Clifton Hill at night then went to bed.

Today was our first whole day at Canada. We walked down Clifton Hill to view the falls. It was an amazing sight. The beauty of the majestic roaring falls was really breathtaking. It started raining so we decided to go to the Imax theater. We watch a National Geographic movie called The History Behind the Falls.  It was about special events that happened with the falls, history who discovered the falls, and the mystery of the Maid of the Mist. When the movie finished the day turned beautiful. We bought several souvineers and then went to Red Lobster. I was suprised Canada had a Red Lobster. Then we walked to the falls at night where they illuminated the falls and there were fireworks that made the view even more amazing. Then we went to a casino where we decided to exchange currency even though Canadian money is even with American money in Canada. Then we went to the hotel's pool until it closed. Then I decided to check out the forum from my phone and then I went to sleep.

Today we departed Niagra Falls to go to Toronto Canada. It took around 3 hours to arrive there. When we entered downtown there was terrible traffic. Toronto is the most populated city in Canada which made the traffic like New York's traffic. (God I hate New York... =P ) When we got closer to mid downtown we stopped at a very nice Best Western hotel to check in. It was BEAUTIFUL. I have never seen such a fancy Best Western in my whole life. We got 2 rooms not to far away from eachother right on the same floor. (We wanted attached rooms but those rooms were all occupied) We got rooms on the 4th floor which was the top floor of the hotel. The rooms had a refridgerator, microwave, coffee maker, television with cable, 2 ULTRA COMFORTABLE BEDS, a sofa, a desk with a rolling chair, coffee table, and a bathroom (...). I was so upset I didn't take a picture of the hotel and our rooms... D= Anyway we had a nice view from our room since we were on the top floor. The beds had down pillows that can make anyone fall asleep instantly. It was dinner time the time we arrived so we decided to go to a resraunt called Kellers (I think that is what it is called...) to order out. I got the signature gourmet Baked Maccroni and Cheese with Cesar Salad and I also got Calimari (MMMMM YUM!!!...) Then we returned to the hotel to eat.


I have to cut this short now so edit this later.........................................................
