Saturday was our last PVA Saturday. It was held at the school and each group had 3 rotations followed by a family picnic, and an Italian one man play. MAC started with an acting class, followed with by a 3D art class, and ending with a DJ class. I was very impressed with the way she handled herself during the three classes because she wasn't with a single one of her friends and did have a person whom she REALLY didn't get along with in her group.
She earned several buttons for the beginning. Lunch was ok. It was amazing to me how many kids didn't eat a sandwich but only the chips and cake. MAC ate the smallest sandwich she could find and then had a bag of chips, 1 1/2 cookies, and two pieces of chocolate cake. She and her friend TB dueled Yu-Gi-Oh before going in for the awards ceremony and play.
During the awards ceremony she was restless (of the 9 awards only 1 of her friends won one) and then during the play, although the actor asked for audience participation she was not on her best behavior. That caused me to have to talk with her, and finally there was a blow up. We had had several fun things we were going to do after the school day ended but I took her directly home instead.
She turned to me and said, "Did you ever think you're the reason I want to kill myself?" Then she wouldn't talk to me for the next 3 hours. The teenage years have definitely kicked in...
