   Time passed and I still can remember that last day of Prince of Peace. Me and my mom hugged my teacher and we remember she cried. They gave us donuts and other things. In those last few days we were allowed to take certain books home while the others were to be boxed and brought to other schools. I remember on our way out the teachers were throwing books out of a window 2 stories up. Looking back it was kinda dangerous because they had been throwing a lot of hard cover books many of which were dictionaries however I thought it exciting because in 3rd grade any free things can excite you. I still was really into reading and it hadn't been ruined for me. I would read books like Diary of a Wimpy kid, The Magic Tree House, and probably my favorite back then, Captain Underpants. I feel it is such a memorable year maybe some day I'll write about that on its own. It was a really big part of my life because it was the last time for years that I would see such freedom. As summer passed I threw up while at a party on August 4, 2012. The way I remembered this was because the day prior the movie Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Dog Days has been released and it was the first (and probably best) movie of that series we went to see in theaters. Because of the excitement I had to see it I remembered the date. I remember when I threw up it was a painful feeling of anticipation and I had no idea what was in store for me. Most of the pain pretty much was anxiety. It was a rather hot August day. I can remember I ate meatloaf for the first time and I always wanted to try it, I also had some lemonade. One thing that sticks out to me still is both sorta tasted weird and I wonder if my taste buds had been altered. By what? Well it turned out I had a virus. I started getting cold. I could feel the wind and it was giving me the chills. I told my parents and I was starting to get anxious. They told me I could go inside however it was air conditioned so it wouldn't be much better. I went inside and sat on a recliner. I believe before going there I told my dad my stomach had been hurting and he told my brother if I throw up to go get him. My brother and the other kids were playing LEGO Batman 2 on the Wii. All well the chills started setting in as the air conditioner had only made it worse. I'm actually getting anxiety writing this so long story short I threw up and for a long time after I had crippling anxiety and would not eat, or would eat very small amounts. About a week before school that August was orientation. Already things weren't seeming as they initially looked when I shadowed. There were many new kids and I didn't have that same warm vibe I felt then. One thing I should mention is this school was part of a sorta cult like church. To be more specific it was in one of their churches and the classroom I was in that first year was behind the altar in what I believe they call the Rectory. Here they would do many things as well as prepare for masses.  Above is a photo of the Main Altar where the Rectory was behind.
