I’m Sorry CVU!
May 19, 2010
Hello Fellow CVUers,
I feel as though I haven’t blogged in about a month…my last post was April 21st. Shame on me! Well, I have a lot of news for you!
I went on an amazing trip to NC for Habitat for Humanity. It really gave a new definition to the meaning of “Alternative Spring Break.” I acquired new skills that I certainly wouldn’t have gained if I stayed home for spring break, like hammering, installing windows, making cement. I also, got to experience southern culture, which is completely different than the northern culture we’re used to. It was an amazing time! I highly suggest it to anyone looking for something to do next year!
Prom was nice. My senior prom. I made my dress (which was FANTASTIC by the way) and it was actually for my Grad Challenge. I showed my friends and no one could believe that it was made by a novice sewer. I was extremely proud of it! 
It was really nice to see everyone look so cute that night! Yay!
May 15th was the dreaded Grad Challenge day where seniors practiced (or didn’t practice) their speeches and presentations. As we walked into the building at 8:15 am, everyone was panicing, pacing, practicing and talk to their fellow peers about the day of events ahead. First session went, then a break. Many seniors were relieved. I, on the other hand, went second session and I was really relieved to be done. Then a break for lunch and third session began. All in all, I think that GC was a great experience. And although we all complain and whine about it, it really is a great project to do. My motto for GC is “We chose to study something that we love. We’re doing this from the heart. We have so much new knowlege about it [our topics] now. Why shouldn’t we be able to talk about it for 8-12 minutes?” 
The Greece trip did leave and yes, technically you could say they had a 3 week vacation! Since they didn’t even leave until May 4th, which was after break. (Darn them!) And they came back home to the 802 on Sunday May 16th. As I wonder around the hallways, I notice my friends who went to Greece were infact, a lot tanner. And I welcomed them home!
Monday, May 17th was the all publicized, unofficial and yet TOTALLY official Senior Skip day! WAHOO! It’s traditionally the Monday after GC presentations. And of course, seniors must “call themselves out” so they don’t receive cuts in their classes. Some seniors had parties, one in particular, a BBQ party. Some went out downtown. Others spent the day relaxing. And although many didn’t partake in school, some however, did decide to show up. The Monday after GC day will always and forever be CVU’s unofficial Senior Skip day!
But CVU, even with all the news that I just clogged your noggin with, I’m really sorry that I haven’t blogged in a month! It’s been a hectic end of the year for me, especially being a senior. In about two weeks, it’s going to be even crazier! Scrambling around for caps, gowns, family visiting, summer vacation plans and somewhere in all of that, us seniors gotta relax, right? *Breathes*
Anyways…
Your’s truly CVU,
Fammy Zammy
