At my high school we are required to complete and pass a Culminating Exhibition (CE) to graduate. I have been preparing for this for a long time. It has to be 15 minutes long and we have to talk about three different questions "Who am I", "Where am I going", and "How am I going to get there?" I created a powerpoint about these three questions. It was 26 slides long. Anyways, I presented mine today. I was really nervous and stressed out this morning. You can ask my mom. I was bitter and annoyed at EVERYTHING.
When I got there I put on my powerpoint and I started the presentation. Then when I got to the second slide a movie of me playing the piano was supposed to play. However, it didn't play and I didn't know why. One of the teachers said it's because I forgot to save it on my flash drive. I KNEW I FORGOT SOMETHING! Anyways, after this little glitch I started to really worry. What if the rest of presentation was as bad as this. However, I basically overlooked this little problem and continued on with my presentation and the rest of it went surprisingly smooth.
At the end the panel of teachers had the opportunity to comment and ask questions. One of the teachers said that they appreciated how organized my binder was (I organized it into like 8 sections). One of the teachers also said how they liked that I just continued with my presentation. They said that it was good how I just overlooked my technical difficulty at the beginning and moved right on through. They said that was something a teacher has to do often. That made me feel good that although I had an issue at the beginning they found a compliment for it.
I really thought I wasn't go to do very well and I was afraid that I wasn't going to pass. BUT I PASSED!! Now I am done with all of my high school requirement! YAY!!!

Tolo
This year Tolo was on March 14th, 2009. Tolo is like Sadies or Preference (aka Girls Choice). So, me and my friend Samantha got a group of people together and we planned the whole thing. Our group was as follows:
Samantha and Barry
Shay and Ethan
Me and Zack Isaacson
The first thing that we did was go to Funtasia. Funtasia is an arcade place with video games,
bumper cars, lazer tag, mini golf and other things. The first thing we did when we got there was go and play mini golf. It was really fun. We didn't keep score, so we don't know who won. After mini golf it started to rain so we went inside to play lazer tag. We played girls vs. guys and the guys won. After lazer tag we went out side and raced cars. That was fun too except it was really, really cold outside. After we did all of this we got quarters out of the machine and played arcade games. We split up as couples and decided that whoever got the most tickets would win (we didn't have a prize though). Shay's team won that. I think she had two times as many tickets as me and Zack did.
We left Funtasia around 5:30 (we got there around 3) and we headed back to my house. At my house we made pizzas as teams and we played Mau (a card game). After we were done making and eating our pizzas we talked for a little while and then we headed down to Samantha's house.
When we got to Samantha's house we played Rock Band (a Wii game) and just hung out for awhile. Then we had banana split
s for dessert. After dessert we went back into their family room and just talked and watched funny YouTube videos (You should really check out "David After Dentist" on YouTube). It was really fun. After we watched a couple videos Shay and Ethan left but Samantha, Barry, Me, and Zack stayed to hang out for awhile. We thought we would leave around 10 or something. However, we just kept talking and lost track of time. The guys didn't end up leaving until about 12:10 and after we said good-bye to them I went back into Samantha's house to talk for a little while. I don't think I left her house until 12:30 or 12:45.
The date was WAY fun...and it lasted 10 hours. We couldn't believe that it last so long but it really didn't feel like it.
