Look twice before crossing the street

I can really feel summer coming now. It's been extremely hot lately, and it feels like I'm cooking in a sauna whenever I'm outside. At least the a/c's on in the house now, so it's not as bad. Anyway, I went to music late as usual, but this time, it was because I was delivering some ice cream grams for GST. I should've stayed out for longer... we were playing these weird and boring pieces... could've, should've just skipped, haha. Chemistry was like usual... lesson, notes, talking... In bio, we saw the last presentation, and just did nothing after, so it was nice. Oooh, at lunch, after we ate, we went to the library, but Cheryl had to study, so Willie and I asked the librarian and got to look at previous yearbooks! It was so wicked... remembering how ppl used to be back then, and how they looked like... it was... wow! Haha! After lunch, was physics. We were shown this video at first, so I got a nice little nap then, which was better than usual, since there was smooth, calming music in the background. lol.

Okay, so far, the day seemed pretty normal. Now for the more interesting stuff... this is really not funny, but it's just more shocking. Who'd have known that while bussing home, something crazy would happen?! Well actually, no one would have thought of anything like that anyway. Some guy who got off the bus and started crossing the street got hit by a car, and I was right there! Well, I didn't see, but I could've very clearly. It was only because I had turned around to sit in the seat that the guy got up from, that I missed what happened, or else I would have had a perfect view! I only heard a car coming to a screeching stop, and when I turned around to look through the window, I saw the guy rolling on the ground in pain. Apparently, he was hit, and then he like flew over the car, and landed behind it. I don't think I've ever been this close to something like this before, so it was really something different. But yea, the police and ambulance came pretty soon after, and everyone just watched them do their stuff. I think he should be okay; he won't die. There wasn't a lot of blood, so maybe he just broke something. I dunno. After about 15 minutes, the bus was back in service, and I walked home a few stops later. Even though the guy got hit because he was like jaywalking, I was extra cautious when I crossed the street at the light, 'cause yea, who wouldn't be after seeing an accident like that?

The rest of the day was alright. I got to chat with a couple of ppl attending university, so I got more suggestions and whatnot. Ah, I've got to make a final decision soon! Blah.

Esto Perpetua

It is now exactly a week since May 27, Esto Perpetua, formal '05, and I think it's about time I blogged something about it! I didn't have super-high hopes for formal to begin with, so when it turned out not to be "perfect" and "the best night of high school", I wasn't that disappointed. This is not to say, though, that I did not have a good time. It was still pretty awesome!

The day had started off nicely... I skipped school and got to sleep in for a bit. When I went to get my hair done though, everything started to be rushed. I had to like race to get to the limo on time! Haha, it was alrite. I made it. We took some pictures, and soon, we left Charlotte's place. When we got to Liberty Grand and saw people, it was like whoa! Everyone looked stunning!

It was a pretty fun night, seeing people get all dressed up and looking so perrdy. Everyone took loads of pics! It was crazy... *flash flash* all night! lol. What sucked was the food! Omg, the salad tasted like grass and the chicken...well, it tasted alrite. It was just really dry. I think the cheesecake was pretty good, but Willie was like "No way... you gotta try MY cheesecake!", so she'd better make me some! =P

Anyway, it was great seeing almost everybody there! I didn't get to see some people : ( so blah. But still, even though it wasn't "the best night" and all that, it was definitely worth going to and creating more memories. Let it be forever... : )

I was also glad that the weather was so nice. It was supposed to rain and stuff, but in the end, everything was just fine, so that was good. Hmm... left Liberty Grand at 11:40ish and the limo drove us to Joyce's place. Everyone was really tired, so we just sat around and chilled. I drank two bottles of the stuff Chris had brought over, and it was nice. A couple of ppl got kinda drunk? and it was sorta funny. haha.. We started watching 'Gladiator' at like 3am and it was so boring at first, that everyone started falling asleep, but I was awake for most of the good parts. Haha.. after, I slept for an hour or so, and soon, it was morning.

We had breakfast at Tim Horton's, and Joyce's parents drove us home afterwards, so I got home at 10 or 11...? I don't really remember, but whatever. =P It felt good to shower and then sleep. I was tired, but still didn't get that much sleep even though I could've. Oh well!

Damn... so now that formal's over, we could look forward to the end of the school year? Aww, it'll be the end of high school, and *whoosh* it seems so fast now! Okay, so weird, haha... can't wait to get the prom pictures developed and put into an album and stuff! : )
