"The Wonderful Weekend"

I woke up on Friday really excited to start my weekend. I had a chorus trip all day, then a date with one of the most perfect boys on the face of the Earth. I got to school around 7:40 to go on our trip. We went all the way out to middle-of-nowhere Clayton County to sing in a competition called "Fiesta-Val". First of all, nobody knew where this competition came from. Second, we were in the middle of nowhere. Third, the name was just weird. After listening to random choirs from Maryland and West Virginia, we listened to Advanced Women sing. They did really well. It was finally our turn. Warm up went well, but I was nervous. We get up on stage and the friendly Master of Ceremony came up to us and said "Welcome to Atlanta!" As awkward as it was that we live closer to Atlanta than he does, we thanked him with large smiles on our faces. Both of our songs went very well, and I could tell that Blevins was pleased. After we preformed, we returned to Johns Creek, but the rest will remain a secret! As for the date, I couldn't have asked for a better night. He was charming, intelligent, attractive, polite, and any other word I wouldn't normally use to describe a boy. Oh how wonderful a night.

On Saturday, the choruses went to Six Flags as an add on to "Fiesta-Val" (still so humorous). My group consisted of five other juniors: four of them being Asian boys and the other a white female like myself. It was quite the adventure. After riding The Georgia Scorcher, Goliath, and the Cyclone, one of the boys named Tae Wan decided that he had enough of the roller costars and did not ride another one. The lines began to grow as the day went on, but we continued to have fun. Bumper cars, games, and simply being together kept us entertained until I had to leave at 3:30. The awards ceremony happened right after I left. We won 1st in our division and champion. It was a great feeling, and I'm finally so proud to be with such talented people. That night, I attended a BBYO 70s themed dance, where I was awarded with the honor of being "sweetheart" of a wonderful boys group in East Cobb. They gave me a flower, and I was ecstatic.

I woke up Sunday morning after a great weekend, and I realized how little I had done the whole weekend. I had APUSH, Math, and AP Lang to do. I also had an interview for a TAG Internship the next day during homeroom that I had completely forgot about. I got everything done (but I definitely bombed that "The Old Man and the Sea" quiz). I stayed up way past my estimated bed time and was completely shot the next day. The whole weekend was worth the exhaustion though!
