Yearbook Day!

The best day of the year!!!
No, like seriously.
More on that later.
I'm sooo sorry I haven't gotten to blog lately! I swear that with summer coming up and all, there should be at least one post every week. Plus, I'll have a lot more to talk about. ;)
I am watching I. Q. right now. This is my favorite movie ever lately. If you have seen it, good for you. If not, see it!
Other news: I GOT A HAIRCUT!!! I got it very short this time, and every single time I look into the mirror, I freak out. I don't recognize myself! It ends right between my neck and my ears and I got it streaked with blonder highlights, too. The last time I had a haircut this short was, well...
Let's just say that I was younger (I hope they loaded all right).
Now for the big event of today. Yearbook signing!
No, seriously, everybody coming into Junior High next year, it is the best day of the entire school year! Explaining... you go to all of your classes: A1, A2, A3, A4, B3, B4, B1, B2 (also known as a C-day) for about 40 minutes each and get them signed by all of your friends. It's amazing! It's fun to see what everybody comes up with, too. Some people write about a funny experience you had with them, others write a little quote (some examples are, "Have a green smoothie," and "Hugs, not drugs"), and some wrote a sweet little message that only lasted one sentence.
Well, for the most part. There were still others that just wrote their name or drew a picture or wrote their phone numbers down. Today, a lot of people just wrote, "I love your hair!"
It's really a time where you get to sum up your whole year in a short message that your friends can all take home during the summer and remember you by. There were some people that cried the whole time. I laughed. Especially when we ditched (with permission) B2 to visit Mr. Brooks and get his autograph.
"Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie," he writes, "What to say? There are no words to describe this quite- well, once quiet student that has now evolved into a friend of Janessa's! Is this a good thing or a bad thing one might ask- yes- Mr. Brooks might say- this is a very good thing! You three [probably Janessa, Jessi, and I] were great! I'll most likely miss you guys! Mr. B."
Ha, ha!
Tomorrow is the last hour of school. Jessi isn't coming, so I don't see a point, but I guess I'll go anyways to cheer the teachers on in Battle of the Bands, teachers versus students.
I mean, if you think of it, the bus ride was the best part of my day. Why not? I was with all my best friends, normally eating, talking, and laughing, and school stress hadn't quite started yet. So, with the bus rides being over (because life is never complete without Jessi being there), why go to school? Is there a point to this madness? Oh, well. I'll bring my yearbook and (hopefully) finish up my signatures.
Time for Young Women's. We re going to watch Miss Utah speak. Fun!
By the way, if you are reading this right now, tomorrow night, we are celebrating school being out with teenage night games tomorrow night, from about seven-ish (you'll probably get a phone call) to ten-ish. Hope you can make it!
The Quote of Today is from I.Q. It's the best line of the whole movie!
Hasta luego!

Quote of Today: This is Ed Walton. If you had a nickel for every nickel he has, you would have a lot of nickels.

If you're not busy, it's at Pine Hollow Park (the one on my street). I think I already said the time.
I.Q. is my (new) favoritest movie! It's super cute!
Keep that blog going, Katie!

Love you!
