Tonight made me realize how beautiful people can be. I mean, Jane was so young and so beautiful. She was the perfect kid. She was on the Honor Roll, she was talented, she had lots of friends, and she never did anything wrong. So why did she leave?
Tonight, a friend of Jane's dad went up to her casket, prayed, and when he was done, went over to her father and gave him the biggest hug I had ever seen anyone give another person. Jane's father cried and cried. I hate hearing people cry but just watching this happen was so beautiful.
I wish everyone would be like that more often. Instead of always hating one another, we really should take advantage of the fact that we're still alive.
And I probably sound like an ass saying this. But, you know what, I don't care.
After the wake, I was still crying. I remember when her and Jess used to hang out. It really is one of the saddest thing that I have gone through.
The saddest thing would probably have to be the death of my friend, Tony, though. Even people that hated him in school came to his funeral. Kelly and I were discussing this today. People that came that didn't like him said that it didn't matter anymore. And that's so right.
I remember when I found out Tony died, I was home sick and it was all of an hour after my friend Julia called me and told me that my friend Carlos had gotten in a car crash in another country and might have died.
Now, naturally, I couldn't handle both of these at the same time so I was in shock for a while. Luckily, Carlos lived and so did Ana (his sister). But Tony's funeral was incredibly sad. I didn't speak spanish, but my friend Julia did and at one point she couldn't even translate what his family members were saying about him anymore.
But another thing that happened tonight that made me realize how great human beings can be so wonderful, was what Mrs. Van Wyk said to me as I was leaving. She turned in her seat and grabbed my arm. Her eyes were so watery and her cheeks were tear stained. I had never seen mrs. Van Wyk sad up until tonight. But she heald my arm and said, "You're a great person for coming." I wasn't to give her a huge hug but that would have made us both cry even more and my ride was leaving. But to see peppy Mrs. Van Wyk crying as she tells me that it's great that I came, made me realize that not everyone in this world is incredibly messed up.

On a happier note,
Today was a very good day. (Excpet for going to the wake.)
For one, I understood what was going on in Chemistry and Algebra. Then in Musical Theater, I had a great time as Jon and Valter climbed on the table to early and i turned around to see them gawking at me. HaHa. Then in Dance, we learned THRILLER! Ahhh!! That dance is so much fun. I love acting like an idiot. In French, I got to say a sentence with name Raoul in it AND I understood what my teacher was talking to me about. Lunch was....lunch. Then I found out I passed my History test from yesterday and in English I had a long conversation with a group of people I haven't talked to as a group in forever.
So today was great.
Pictures!
Hmm...Pine Needles in an electric outlet....that's safe, right?
Goodbye, fire hazard.
Kelly saw this and thought it was amazing.
Poops' eye is all better!! Yay!!!
She was a little hungry. HaHa.
Here, Valter.
Well, I have an audition tomorrow immediatly after school.
Wish me luck.
