Nice we got 4

Aaand we're back! I remembered that I actually forgot to include something in the last post. A few days before the semester ended there was an academic awards ceremony. 

This ceremony was in-person and held in the gymnasium of the school. However, the school only let the student who would be receiving awards attend in-person, not even the parents would be allowed in. Anyway, the awards are split into three groups, the highest grade, the second one I have no idea how they give it, and the last one is for best effort. You know, unlike the Spanish presentation I didn't exactly have that feeling of relief and gratification come over me when I was called up. Either way, it's still an amazing feat. I ended up getting the best grade award for Physics, PE, Algebra 2, and History. 

PE was a HUGE surprise LOL, I mean I got the PE award?? Honestly, I shouldn't be surprised that I did get it because my grade was always kept nearly at 100% but it wasn't AT 100% so I had a feeling there was someone out there who did have it. Anyway, the good thing is that the grades in PE this year didn't actually have that many physical exams but a lot more of it was actually writing. We actually wrote a lot this year because SEL was integrated into the curriculum. Lucky me I guess. 

As for the other classes, not too much surprise there. However, at the actual ceremony, they didn't give out the Physics awards because of a mix-up so I was shocked when they didn't announce an award for physics when I got called up. They apologized and gave it to us the next day though.

The other thing I wanted to mention in this blog was that my birthday actually passed throughout this hiatus. It was May the 17th, a Tuesday. This particular day didn't feel any special really or maybe it's just that I can't seem to remember well enough what exactly happened. I did have a hangout with friends a few days later with my friends to celebrate too. I'll give you more details on that later.
