another high school dance

Hopefully everyone had fun at the back-to-school dance. As before, the event was free for students with an ASB card and $5 for all others. I didn't buy one this year and had to pay an entrance fee, but it was a good deal nonetheless.

Compared to the dance last year, this one was no less enjoyable. I actually stayed the whole time. One thing for sure is that LAHS knows how to put on great events. On a related note, there's also has a holiday dance in December. It's definitely something I'm looking forward to.

back to LAHS for 10th grade

I'm back at school for my sophomore year. It feels so different when you're no longer a freshman. I wish summer wasn't over but am excited to see everyone.

One nice thing is that I don't have zero period and can finally get some sleep. But what I do have is Ms. Bradley's 7th period chemistry class. Although it means staying late, this beats getting up at 6:45 a.m. anytime. I'm actually excited because chemistry has always fascinated me. You get to blow shit up, not to mention Ms. Bradley seems really nice. Guess I can't complain. :-)

went to see Pearl Harbor

Dad took us to see Pearl Harbor as we hadn't been to the theater in a while. I enjoyed it despite the critical reviews.

Pearl Harbor focuses on entertainment and is not historically accurate. However, the action scenes and special effects were impressive. It's a long movie at over three hours, so an intermission would have been nice. On the whole, this was a worthwhile experience. I'd love to watch Pearl Harbor again when it comes out on DVD.
