Camp

So, I haven't posted in ages, but way way way more has happened then I currently have time to write about, because of this I'm going to give an abridged version. So, two and half weeks ago I graduated eighth grade from the school that I was at for NINE YEARS. Anyway, evil bitch #1 did graduate with us, although she hadn't been to school in while and we had thought she dropped out.

I went to a quaker school, and as such we have an unusual graduation. There were twenty-two kids in my grade and what happens is that the graduation is kind of like a giant meeting for worship. All of the kids who are graduation sit in a line of chairs facing everyone else and it lasts for about an hour. The thing is though, it's not like we're all sitting there in silence for an hour, there's a mic set up in front of the graduating people, so they can get up and talk if they want, and for everyone else, there are people all around the room who have mics, and if you stand up they will bring one to you. The only real rule is that each person can only get up and speak once.

It's really beautiful, and people say lots of wonderful things, and share funny memories about the class and stuff like that. Most of the kids get up and speak at one point or another. Towards the end, evil bitch #1 gets up and pulls a piece of paper out of her boot (we were all dressed up real-fancylike, corsages, the like) and she was trying to be all cool with knee high boots. So, she pulls out this piece of paper and proceeds to make read the most incredibly rude speech I have ever heard. The last few months have been really hard, but nobody said anything mean in their speeches, but then she gets up and has this whole speech about she was victimized and whatever fucking BULLSHIT. It still makes me so angry just thinking about it. Evil bitch #1 is really manipulative and almost all the adults at school have this idea that she's this vulnerable victim. Anyway, enough about her. She's a total bitch, end of story.

The real purpose of this post, other than to rant has to do with the title. Tomorrow, at nine o'clock am, I leave to go to camp for a month!!! Camp is basically the best part of my year, and I have been counting the hours for the last few days!!! I can't wait! Anyway, I hope everyone has a great summer, and I'll be back in a month!
