So many things has happened this year that I dare not forget. I remember in February, I hosted the Anaheim Anime club's first ever DDR tournament. I remember on Valentine's day, I had the most romantic dinner with my boyfriend. heart Though it ended in tragedy, the day was still great.
As we move to March, thoughts about graduation start pouring into the Class of 2007's heads. As we spend our last times together at Medieval Times, we make our memories of our friends whom we shall cherish forever. It was also on this day where i found out I was accepted to the college of my choice: Cal State Fullerton. April rolls around...College Carnival at school as well as Spring Break. Good times during Spring break...so many memories that no one will ever forget. My friends and I christen that time as a time for which nothing should ever be mentioned. Whatever happened during Spring Break, stays during Spring Break. The end of the month was dubbed my 18th birthday, the day I am recognized as an adult, legally. I am still a child at heart. biggrin
May was an interesting month. Not only did the thoughts of graduation grow ever so much, but the stress levels increased as well. With the AP tests and Prom hovering so close together, no doubt my brain nearly exploded. But it was all worth it at Prom. Another romantic dinner with my boyfriend at my favorite restaurant, along with my very best friends sitting just at the other table. The night was a blast and the memories further increased. The end of the month bred the Senior picnic at Six Flags. Although that day had its ups and downs, my friends and I will never forget it.
June...the Class of 2007 dreaded this month, yet at the same time welcomed it. We had awards given out, finals and then... June 18, 2007: the graduation ceremony. Hugs and tears smothered the audience as they watch the Class of 2007 receive their diplomas and take the biggest step of their lives. Not only were there tears in the audience, but there were tears backstage as well. It had dawned on us that we all cannot hang out like we used to anymore. No more "Hi, Marco. How's that dance going?" or "Hey Victor, still picking up the ladies?" No...four years of routined greetings are now replaced with maturity. But we will never forget those that made us laugh or cry, happy or sad. We may have gone our separate ways, but we will always be Anaheim High School's Class of 2007. Plus, there's still Grad night at Disneyland. biggrin That was fun too. Man...i remember the Pirates ride breaking down on us and we were almost late for the bus coming back. The end of June gave rise to the Anime Expo 07 in Long Beach, California. Waaaay too much money spent there but it was all worth it. Seeing so many cosplayers and so much enthusiasm for the world of anime created a smile upon my face. I was lucky to be in an environment with such love and such kindness. Not only that, but we were able to watch Transformers two days before it came out on theatres. xD Oh man...there's nothing better than an auditorium filled with nerds, screaming at the top of their lungs when their favorite characters came out to play. I will never forget the vibe i felt in that room and how happy I was to have witnessed it.
July rolls around and I discover a new passion: archery. I had gone to Cal State Fullerton day for a test i needed to take and i saw this giant booth, piled with bows of all different kinds. They had the chance to show you how to shoot a bow. Intrigued, I stood in line to shoot one. I immediately signed up and waited for the email for the practice times. I received it and decided to take a dear friend of mine to try it out. We go and it was love at first sight; with archery that is. Although certain people cannot make accurate maps and we ended up getting slightly lost, we still made it on the field. The love of archery gave me the opportunity to meet so many new people. I must put my past behind me and focus on the future. And who knew these people would become very dear to me.
August...the month of changes. At the beginning of the month, i was to spend two weeks with my father up in Iowa for some family visits. It has been about 6 years since i last returned so everyone was so different. But I remembered them and they remembered me. Then...August 20, 2007: my first day in college. I had thought about this day and the happenings of such. To my surprise, I made friends so simply. I suppose it was the thought of a fresh start. No one knew my name, no one knew my identity. This was a chance to make an impression that will last up until the days of college graduation. But that's too far into the future right now. I arrive at the first class with a friend whom I have met previously at an orientation and saw so many new and different faces. We sat down and met so many new people. We met the one whom would be our first friend. Then later on, we recruited another person, a female into our group, one that resembles me it's almost scary. As we gather our new group of friends, new ones start arriving. Everyone thought being a freshman was a drag, but not me. It gave me the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends, some of whom remind me of past ones...
September was the month relationships started to grow. The relationships I had with the archery team grew ever so much during a trip we took up to Sacramento for the Pacific Coast tournament. I have learned so much from each person and bonded with some on a deeper level. Not only that, but it was my first tournament ever shooting in and I hadnt been shooting long. ^^;; Coach just had to throw me into the fire.
October...the end of this month gave me something to smile about, as well as frown upon. Although I had ended the nearly 3 year long relationship I had with my boyfriend, I will never forget the memories we had together as well. Those memories make me smile, even up to this day. People say "why not get back together?" but i cannot give them an answer... November held little memories but Thanksgiving so we shall move onto our final month: December.
First college finals, Christmas, planning, so many things happened and so little time to explain it all. All i know ish that we this month draws to a close, I cannot help but remember the year all over again. There were so many little memories that i hold in my mind and there they shall remain.
2007 may be at an end, but 2008 will prove to be even more memorable.
