I know it’s been a long while since my last post. If you ever wondered what I have been up too, the title should explain. It’s been such a hectic final quarter of high school. Finals, AP exams, Mr. Sheehan papers (“MALEVOLENT!”), doing NHS service hours (I have to admit I was a last minute person for this one), and prepping for prom. What? Oh, for the last one; Yes, I finally did go with my best friend Chris Lai. Hectic moments, but we finally got everything just right in time. It took a lot of works, but we had a great&memorable time.

Senior week was a lot of fun. The breakfast, yearbook social, Dorney Park, basically everything. I enjoyed every moment of it. Practice was a lil bit hectic for me, since I was one of the offertory presenters (for the Baccalaureate Mass), and I sat on the stage seat for the graduation ceremony(Honors Graduate #16). The mass was beautiful&everyone would definitely remember that mass; the last Baccalaureate Mass celebrated by Bishop Cistone before he moved on to his new assignment in Saginaw, Michigan.

The following morning, we had such a majestic graduation ceremony at Liacouras Center. I love the fact that the band played “Phantom of the Opera”-medley as the special song for Class of 2009, it was beautiful! (Honestly, I’ve never described anything played by the SNG band as “beautiful”). I also enjoyed being “called” on stage a lot during the ceremony for being an honor graduate (I ranked 16th), for having 4-year of perfect attendance, for receiving various scholarships, for getting the gold medal in French, and for getting the silver medal in String Orchestra. Famous, you might say, but I’m still not as famous as Chris Lai, my best friend, eating-mate, study buddy, who is also Mr. Valedictorian (+Mr. Ivy League). His valedictory speech was awesome, the point is “You’ll be OK. Just dance”
