On May 22nd I had the honor of inducting a new member into my chapter of the National Honor Society. An NHS induction is pretty cool because everyone gets to dress up really nice and get recognized one by one on stage. The whole thing makes you feel very impotant and superior (until you go back to school the next day and feel terribly ordinary again). The whole thing takes about an hour, and the current members and new members have to show up an hour before to practice the whole thing. After I had done my part in the practice run through my friend and I (like the truely superior and scholarly human beings we have come to be through the many trials and tribulations of high school) went into the lobby of the auditorium to steal cookies. If we’re being honest that was my third favorite part of the whole production.

My second favorite part was that you have to be super dressed up and beautiful (or hansome). So I got to wear my favorite black dress and my favorite pair of black wedges (they’re totally my moms shoes… not mine). Plus our induction fell on world goth day so I felt my completely black ensemble was more than apropo.

Lastly my most favorite thing about NHS induction is that you can pick whoever you want to induct! The person I wanted t induct was taken… So I went with Grace! This was up there in the top ten best decisions I’ve made in my 18 years. Why? Well because after Grace’s name was called and we went on stage and I said the infamous induction line and gave her my stole Grace leans over and whispers in my ear on stage, “We had our own Pearl Harbor here today Ashley Katchadourian.” (Which you wont understand unless you watch The Most Popular Girls in School so look it up on YouTube) I lost it on stage and Grace forgot to hug me so we successfully created the most awkward induction pair possible.

This is Grace:

This is Grace and I after she made me laugh:

And afterwards I ate a legal cookie and had some punch. Basically it was stellar.
