Sixth Grade Graduation (Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!)

Tomorrow is the big day. No, Rhodo isn't getting married, but it's the day of our "promotion" from sixth grade to the mild frontier of junior high school. We had our last real recess today, and last taste of elementary school lunch for some people (and yes, that is a happy thing). We launched off bottle rockets today at school (no, we didn't have fireworks inside of them, it was with water and an air compresser), and Rhodo and I built one together. It was not exactly easy on the eyes, if you know what I'm saying. Our rocket's name consisted of some of our favorite people's names-some of which included Rhodo, Zinni, and Hallie (my friend, as mentioned in my "Pre Seventh Grade Summer Bucket List"). All together, our title ended up having eleven words in it. Some rockets included things inside of them like Snickers bars, Spongebob Duck tape, broken pencil sharpeners, uber-mini Nerf footballs, and rocks. That marked our last day as elementary school students. Tomorrow is our promotion and on Monday we are having a staff vs. the sixth grade kickball game. Our elementary careers are coming to a close. In less than 24 hours, we will be officially out of sixth grade and getting ready to storm the castle of junior high school.

As for now, we will just have to wait.

Good luck to us, and may the odds be ever in our (and your) favor,

Zinni :)
