A good way to start the day.

Howdy! It's been a week since I've updated, hasn't it? Sheez.

Well, first the main reason why I'm posting this. I do so enjoy making new friends first thing in the morning. It's when I can talk to my Australian friends. :D But really, to wake up to find a new message is fun. Really, there was more to this thought, originally, but I've forgotten. I'll take this time to plug my buddy Krymzen's blog! dimension-zer0.blogspot.com

Now! For all of the end-of-the-year stuff. Thursday was the only full day of finals I have. English and French. Pretty easy. I got an 89 on my French final. Strange for me, but I don't care. I pass. Friday I had my chem. II final, which was also fairly easy. Our teacher just gave us the exam that the city requires. Fine by me.

Tomorrow I have my creative writing "final". My real creative writing final was my senior thesis presentation. I got a 100 on it. I got a 95 on the paper. *claps dust off of hands* I'm pretty awesome. So tomorrow for the final, we're working on our graduation pieces. At graduation, every art department gets up and does something. Band kids play music, chorus sings, writers read poems, etc. We need to finish writing them, then we're gonna rehearse it. Somebody in the class suggested we do it by height, in which case I'd go last. Yay me at 5'3".

Tuesday I go in at 7:30 and come out at 9:30. Accounting final. It'll go by. I don't guarantee that I'll remember everything. I should bring the book home and skim.

After finals, we aren't required to go in. They aren't taking attendance, and we're encouraged to stay home. Wednesday, June 20th, is my two year anniversary with Chris. He can't come down. I'm staying home from school. Thursday I'm going in, but I have graduation rehearsal from 11:30 to 1:30. I'm gonna work on my 'zine and see if I can get that finished.

OK, y'know what? Lemme just put a schedule.

6/18/07 - Writing final from 9:30 to 11:30.
6/19/07 - Accounting final from 7:30 to 9:30.
6/20/07 - Two year anniversary with Chris. Staying home.
6/21/07 - Going in to work on 'zine, graduation rehearsal from 11:30 to 1:30. Graduation party at 6. Chris coming down.
6/22/07 - Graduation rehearsal 11:30 to 1:30.
6/23 or 6/24 - Chris leaves.
6/25/07 - Senior awards breakfast. (Gonna get my yearbook!)
6/26/07 - Graduation!
6/27/07 - Going back to MA with Chris.
6/28/07 to 6/29/07 - Orientation at UMass.
6/30/07 Graduation party.

I'm busy for a while. Things with Chris aren't entirely ironed out to me. I need to fix that.

So yeah. That's that.

Chris is probably going to record my valedictory using my digital video camera. We'll put it up on teh internets for everyone to see.

I'm gonna go swordfight or something.

Youth convention.

Howdy!

I went to a Unitarian Universalist (www.uua.org, check it oot.) youth conference over the weekend, for the first time (in this district) in about a year and a half. I got to see old friends, make new ones, and memories were flying all around. New memories, too, such as me being "Witchy McGee". (Trust me, it's not as mean as it sounds.)

I want to write a poem about being curled up under a potted tree in a corner of a hallway. I thought it was a bodhi tree, but after trying to find pictures of one online, I'm gonna say that this was not a bodhi tree. Still... I'd call it one for the fact that I tried meditating under it.

I'm actually gonna go take a shower, then burn some incense. I may or may not meditate, I'm not sure. It's so hard to do! It's not like I do it for long. I just don't find my spiritual center very often, but when I do, I'm very peaceful. I'm just not religious, but I'm willing to try.

In college, I'm going to try to go to church more.

OK, I'm past my goal of showering at eight o'clock.

Moving right along.

Howdy. Today I'm supposed to be looking like I'm working because we're having some visitors from different districts. *shrug* They'll probably want to talk to me 'cause I'm valley D. They'll probably ask me how I feel about my education here. *sniggle* What a crock.

I just wanna play games or something. Or talk with my two buddies back here. One is doing some math testing, the other is doing a performance in the library.

Last night I was grabbing myself a snack for today, when I saw muffins. I asked my mom what kind they were, and she said she thought they were apple. That sounded wonderful! Appley muffins are pleasant. Well, I took a bite out of it last period, and it turns out that it's carrot. =/ I like carrot muffins, don't get me wrong, but when I looked in to see a bunch of strips of orange, I was slightly disappointed.

Speaking of disappointment! I've been trying to load Yohoho Puzzle Pirates onto this computer, or just computers here in general, but I need an administrative password to load java. Without java, I can't run YPP. I've been addicted to this game for a couple of weeks. You're a pirate, and you do pirate-y things like bilge, carpent, sail, swordfight, and pillage. When you do all of this, though, you're playing puzzles! Like... bilging is a swapping game. (Swap pieces horizontally to make combinations of three or more.) Carpenting involves getting differently shaped pieces of wood to patch holes in the ship. So on and so fourth. It's free, too! (If I do it online, it's most likely free.) If you're interested, go to www.puzzlepirates.com and sign up. I live in Shackra on Sayer's Rock in the Hunter Ocean. ;)

In other news, I'm still upset about the state of one of my classes. It's a seniors honors class, but the kids still act like freshman. Hardly ANYONE in that class is ready for college. I'd say roughly a fourth is ready.

I forgot to spray my jeans this morning. I don't know why, but they've just been stinky since the last time I wore 'em to Chris'. They still fit OK, so I'm not giving up on 'em, but they smell. (They've been washed, too. I'm a slight freak about wearing fresh clothes.) I wanted to spray 'em with some spritz before I left the house today, but I didn't get the chance to. Oh well.

I wish I could check facebook in school. I know I can't, there's no good reason to, but I have e-mails from facebook that I want to check. *sigh*

I have a driving lesson after school. (Actually at 2. I get out at 2:15.) I have to make sure that everything's OK with that.

Need. Sleep. I don't even know what I'm doing next period.

At least I know I don't have homework tonight. We're gonna be watching "V for Vendetta" in English, and we're taking a trip tomorrow for chemistry that will go from 9:50 (I think) 'til the end of the day. I have an easy day tomorrow. I'm actually wondering whether I need to bring in my stuff! (I can weasel my way into doing some layout work for Mr. Banack.) Shoot... I think I'll just bring a sandwich tomorrow. If we go to the café, I can get a drink. Yep... just a sammich. Oh God, will I have anything to make one with?

Ha, I just finished my accounting project. :D I just gotta hand it in today and I'll goof off for the rest of the time. (Five class days.) Yeehaw.

Alright, I gotta get going. Let's hope I don't fall asleep in chem.

Quickly, for I have been lazy.

Prom was fun, simply put. I didn't like the music selection, but that's natural. But it was fun to act like a complete moron in a dress. Guilty pleasure, perhaps? Like, I wanted to smack my face into a plate of butter. I almost fought Chris for a piece of bread. Silly things like that.

We went to a diner afterward. It was fun. I had jell-o. Chris and I sang. (Mostly Chris.) The waitress said it was like he earned his food. I'd say our waitress was pretty cool for talking to us. Then again, it was like, midnight. Business isn't terribly quick.

After, Chris and I brought two of my friends back to their houses. As it'd turn out, they live pretty close to each other, which I think is pretty cool. I love both of them to death, so I'm glad Chris and I could take them along.

My corsage problem was fixed. We got an emergency one. Unfortunately, the rose petals just kept on coming off. So sad. But at least there were rose petals all over the dance floor. :D

OK, I need to eat some breakfast. Prom pictures will be up whenever I get the camera developed, and the pictures scanned.
