So Excited! Great Day and Info on New Consoles...

Today was so much fun! We got out of second and half of third period today because of the JV athletic awards thing and the slideshow. The awards took so long. Me and a couple of my friends got certificates...but the best part was the slideshow. We only got to see half of the original slideshow because one of the computers messed up. By the time they got it fixed, they could only let the juniors and seniors go back to watch it. My boyfriend got to go, but me and my friends had to stay in class. Then at the of sixth period (about ten minutes to the bell), the school allowed everyone to go to their homerooms and pick up their yearbooks. Our cover is awesome this year! It is definately the best one yet! It's tye-dyed, and it has a CD on the front with words around it that says Cavaliers Unplugged. Then there is a cord hooked to the words that leads to the back cover, which has an amp and an awesome tye-dyed guitar proped up against it.
