9th-scared as hell to start at a new school. teachers included
miss janka (advisor)
mrs. castro
dr o'neil
mrs hughes/mrs. burkhart
miss malone
miss janka
mr minor
mrs. morris.
that year, i realized
-it was okay to be smarter than other people, but i was still dumber than a bunch (yeah, humility!)
-that gym class consisted of more sports than just capture the flag all the time
-"as soon as youre born, your biological clock is just ticking away, you ARE GOING TO DIE."miss malone
-i could understand math if i had a decent teacher/hairstyles that resemble characters in there's something about mary as long as you wear flats and trendy shoes are socially acceptable
-i could completely fail an african country quiz/absolutely offend my african american teacher because of it & still get an A in the class,
-i could develop my faith in other ways than reading out of a textbook (painting my soul, writing down a list of things i want to do before i die)
Things i Distinctly Remember:
katelyn manocheh told me i could be my own best friend.(few days before jr ring day)
3rd squad lacrosse with Mr. Parks (who left to become a dentist?) was massive amounts of fun
Our gym meet theme kicked ass & freshman firemen would have won if it werent for junior cicadas.

10th- introduction of a 6 day cycle &study periods came to school. teachers included
mr. deaton (advisor)
mrs. coburn
miss sprinkle
ms. read
mrs. pine
mrs. brown
mr. morris
mrs. castro
miss donaldson
that year i learned
-you could graduate from maryvale, come back and be 75% white trash, and they will stil hire you. Also, monthly book report projects came back in full swing?
-retests are the only way you will pass in a sprinkle math class, and the parabola dance
-writing those stupid, long ass outlines really didnt help you pass a test on the ottoman empire anyway
-oh corby. i learned how to make good use of my additional study period, & how to teach myself the human body. i also used some of my outstanding english skills to proofread the minimum of 5 spelling mistakes on tests/quizzes.
- i learned about obelisks.
-i became less afraid of speaking my mind, watched stolen summer, saw its a wonderful life for the first time ever, became a big fan of the meditation room.
- i learned subjunctive and gossiped my way out of taking tests
- "bang bang youre dead," and who were the drinkers in our class when we did the alcohol unit
Things I Distinctly Remember:
Cutting Corby's class with Nikki.
Day 5 was my favorite, i had 3 studies.
Mrs. Stanton's room with Katie and Caitlin.
Operation Argyle Hippo
Making it 6 with the gym meet banner.
Nikki dating Schmickley for 3 days.
some big obsesion with jeff fowler.
making a big deal out of drinking (and i would start in the summer,unbeknownst to me).
JV lax- i tried out goalie and thought it was pretty awesome, and boo did too.
scuba sophomores costumes rocked a lot harder than our performance.
My all time favorite year.

11th-
mrs. guerretaz (advisor)
miss sprinkle
mr. morris
dr. adams
mrs. brown
mrs. wilson
mrs. midura
mrs. stankovic
- i learned that my notebook was too sloppy from a teacher whose handwriting was borderline indecipherable/ talking about migranes could get you out of problem sets
-i learned that if mr. morris were to be in a comedy club, he would want 50 of me to just pity laugh him off the stage to make him feel better about his jokes, and that faith can be strenghtened or broken in a matter of seconds
-everything with dr. adams is a joke, and he might seem mean but hes hilarious
-i learned how to stipple and crosshatch.
- shiny blue jumpsuits are the new thing, jamie and carlos should stop with the sexual tension and just get married after la catrina. there is no need for an ultimo secreto.
- things are put in a bosket, by tuesday next, if you disagree, dont talk, having a wicked whooping cough gets you a lot of sympathy whenever you need it most :)
- even if you cheat on a chemistry test, you will still fail because it is such a foreign concept. but pity c's are given accordingly. i also learned how to make soap.
Things I Distinctly Remember:
Ring Day/Dance was more drama than it should have been
Coach Dave is a huge jerk and should have kept me on JV.
overnight retreat is taken away.
junior prom is taken away.
our spirit banner is taken away.
k manocheh's dad is taken away.
but we bounce back.
we suck it up and have fun on retreat anyway. we have a prance. we win gym meet, two thousand seventies,suckers. a ridiculous amount of red blazers packed saint johns one friday in february. you cant stop us, were just too amazing.
THE MORRISES.

12th- man this is crazy.
Dr. Adams (advisor- best one ever)
mrs. grant
mrs. mayers
ms. read
mr. schaefer
mrs. brown
mr. coyle
mrs. butcher
dr. o'neil
- learned i could learn math again! numb3rs is a decent show, and blue mountain cards with german shepards make my day
- some people are conformist
-yeah, um history goes in one ear and out the other and should not be my major in college
- sourcebooks are confidence boosters
- gossip gets you higher points in class.
-supply and demand, bitches. oh and keeping a budget is not always worth your time.
-taking pictures is more work than i thought
-short worksheets are not always the easiest, when it comes down to two answers GO WITH YOUR FIRST INSTINCT.

Things I Distinctly Remember:
XC & indoor track were the best two seasons ive ever had playing sports.
where i was when i found out whitney's house burned down.
Senior retreat when mrs midura feigned worry that we were in the wrong cabin.mm sent us back to where mr vogrin was, we had to go apologize to her, and it turns out she didnt care at all- she was just pretending to be upset cuz she thought it was the right thing to do. oh pam pam.
senior skip day is 86'd from the calendar.
2 other words: marellen mayers. granted this lady did have huge shoes to fill, the morrises are extraordinary people, but that does not give her the right to pretend shes a psychiatrist and shrink people, make them cry, and then pry and pry some more until her questions are answered. she needs to get her stories straight and not run to mrs. cunnane when she thinks she hears something and it ends up being totally misconstrued by her own head. films about saint therese are not going to help me develop my faith. and if you have a problem and wish to confront us about it, then say we can discuss it when if we want then WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DISCUSS IT. NOT immediately change the subject (not leaving room for anyone to actually discuss the matter). the only tthing you taught me was how to lie. so thank you.
i also remember getting to be a lot closer friends with people i hadnt been before which was pretty pretty chill.

im going to miss my classmates, not so much the smell, but many other things Maryvale once i get my diploma. the end.
