Graduate!!!

I finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm an official Mueller College graduate!! My last night of class, which was Thursday the 22nd, all my other classmates were going out to do stuff that involved guzzling drinks that make one rather tipsy and I'm not old enough yet. So, a friend of mine brought a bottle of sparkling cider and her, another friend, my teacher and I split the bottle 4 ways and drank it right there in the school's parking lot. It was fun!! We shared some sentimental moments but nobody cried...I almost did, but I held it in ;) Oh and starting in May I'll be TAing for a stretching class at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (PCOM) with my Thai teacher from Mueller. And today Mommy decided to clean out the attic of useless boxes of books and paper and get rid of them. Mostly it was my homeschool stuff...11 boxes worth!! I think the ceiling in the hallway went up a foot after all those were out. So we went through 13 years of school work today and here are some pics :)

All those boxes before the explosion
By far I did the most amount of stuff in 9th grade.
That box I have is  box #2 of 9th grade
Good grief! The rafters are sighing in relief after all this was taken out ;)

Endings

Well the season ended last weekend and it made me kinda sad. I'll miss the people I've been dancing with since September but I know I'll see most of them again next season. Now it's time to focus on Coppelia up in Temecula which will go up in May if anyone is interested :) I can't believe that in 12 days I'm done with college. I've been attending Mueller College since January of 2011 and been doing it full time for that long. The college is run by quarters so full time students have either 5 or 6 classes per quarter. I did take the summer quarter off to go to Philadelphia but other then that I've been in school. I'm not sure I'm gonna know what to do with myself over the summer. I'll still be taking ballet classes down at SDB over the summer but it's kinda cool that I'll actually have a summer for a change :)
Today I spent the whole day working pitching straw with Mommy around the property. I'm very impressed and glad that we are both still in one piece and don't have any extra piercings. But I know that I'll be a little stiff tomorrow from doing that for 5 hrs. Life on a ranch!
Here are some fun pics from my season with SDB!
