At first, we started off with ding-dong ditch then we decided to up the fun a little bit more. It was the end of the year we had to got out with a bang. We turned off some porch lights knocked on people's windows. Then we put cones that blocked the front entrance to the campus and watched as a car had to around and go the other way. It was really fun. We pigged out on appetizers that my houseparent made then headed to the dance. The dance was alright, but being with my friends made it a lot more entertaining. We danced and and just had a good time. When it was time to got home a couple fights broke out, but what can you expect from children at SPA? Melissa spent the night over our house and we watched movies then went to bed. I had better time then I expected to. I hope this year is better than last year and I'm determined to make it that way.
