ASHNOOR AND I were PRACTICALLY BURIED ALIVE IN A HUGEAVALANCHE OF POPCORN!! 

What a DISASTER! It took us an hour to clean up the humongousMESS Ashnoor had made.She DID try to help! But because she was still covered in stickycaramel, she just ended up a giant ball of popcorn and randomkitchen stuff! . . . 

But at least she was a SUPERyummy human popcorn ball. . . . Lucky for Ashnoor, Sumedh had managed to save a cup of caramelsauce that was left over in the bowl, and I found a lot of popcornstill inside the microwave.So Ashnoor was able to make a dozen mini popcorn balls, which shetook to her Scout meeting later in the afternoon! . . .

When Ashnoor got home, she excitedly explained how EVERYONE ather meeting LOVED her bite-size popcorn balls and begged for MORE!Then she showed me her brand-new cooking badge! . . 

I congratulated my little sister and told her how proud I was of her that she had NOT given up. Then I gave her a really big hug. I was also proud of myself for being a mature, supportive, and patient big sister! 

UNTIL Ashnoor asked me to help her earn a gourmet chef badge. All she had to do was plan, prepare, and serve a formal four-course gourmet dinner for six people. That's when I ran upstairs SCREAMING, locked myself in my bedroom, and hid in the back of my closet. 

Sorry, but cooking with Ashnoor was a risky and dangerous activity, and, seriously, I would NEVER, EVER do it AGAIN!!Unless, of course, SUMEDH was going to be Ashnoor's assistant chef! SQUEEEEEE!!

OMG! I was SO happy to be back at my school! I wanted to KISS everything HELLO! Like the walls, the floors, my locker, my textbooks, and my very cute CRUSH, Sumedh! SQUEEEEEEE! 

Everyone shared exciting stories about the schools they'd attended and the new friends they'd made. Like Sumedh, Shivangi and Akshay had enjoyed attending South Ridge High School. 

Of course I bragged about throwing a HUGE party for my twenty-two new friends at ISD and showed off the photos of the science club meeting. Everyone was pretty impressed that I was such a social butterfly.

Anyway, my day was PERFECT!

OMG! I feel SO relieved! It's like a ton of weight has FINALLY been lifted off my shoulders. I actually survived the student exchange program at The International School Of Dance. I'm STILL in the running for that fabulous trip to Paris. That selfie-addicted DIVA, Jannat Zubair Rahmani, is out of my life FOREVER!
