Last night was Graduation and Project Graduation!
I am now officially a high school graduate!
I can say things like "when I was in high school...." or "I had this friend in high school..."
Yeah its a good feeling.
Graduation was a nice ceremony. But the top whatever kids speeches sucked ass. All three were terrible. One was good, but no one was listening to what she said because we were all listening to the weird way that she ended sentences... it was like a slur type thing, cant really explain it, but at the time it was hilarious.
After graduation I had all of 4 minutes to talk to my family that came from far away to see me. Then we were taken away to project graduation, which was LAME!
The food was AWESOME especially the dessert table! But other than that there was nothing to do. All of the good games were turned off!! And bowling was filled up and people were fighting over lanes and it was terrible.
I am glad that its all over. I can't believe that I made it... But at the same time it hasnt really sunk in yet... as the days go by I will start to get sadder and sadder about leaving... its always what happens!
Congratulations to all who graduated this past week! Class of 2008!

Hello? Why don't you care??
So I am slightly annnoyed with my new co-workers.
We were supposed to go into work this past week to set up or corner and get ready for our monday intro... but no. I texted, no response. I emailed, no response. WAIT I did get a text back from the one girl... it said... Who is this??. So I told her. And I never got anything back.
I dont care. If they dont want to get ready, then fine. we can look like fools in front of everyone else who has been practicing these past two weeks.
On another note, GRADUATION IS TUESDAY!!
Then Project Graduation (why can't I just go to bed?!)

New Color Scheme
I changed the color scheme so now its a little bit brighter and happier. Because it is summer now and I am happier.
Today began graduation practices!
Its nice to sit with my alphabetical friends again from the old homeroom.
Graduation is really formal and I am glad that we have practices, because there is no way that I would have been able to do this without practicing. Wow.. is our class stupid. Really stupid. I feel bad for us... in the words of Mr. Bollendorf "Dont embarass yourself or your parents" I think its too late for that, B. These kids are already an embarassment to their parents. We'll see how it goes.
So after graduation practice I took a groggy two hour nap. Then headed off to McDonalds and Rita's. Its so amazing that we are not 2000 pounds. We talked about basically everyone at school and how trashy they are, and I just about home about 20 minutes ago.
I dont know whats up for tonight yet, but at the moment I just feel like sleeping.

So... that was high school!
Yesterday was my last day of high school. All thats left is my English final and Graduation practices. This is more difficult for me than I had anticipated it to be. Like in French yesterday (which really annoyed me all year because of a certain person who shall remain nameless) I was really upset like everyone in there was saying goodbye and I really will miss them.
Classes i will not miss:
English (everytime i looked at the clock it was always 12:15)
Anatomy
Calc
All of the others had some sort of amusement that I will miss.
Last night I went out to dinner with my fellow fired managers at Sports & More or "Camp SAM" as it is known by now. It was a lot of fun. I dont think I laughed as hard as I laughed last night in a looooooong time. I really really really will miss them this summer. We had some of the best times we couldnt even talk about all of them. We had a good time bitching about the new owners and how gay the name "camp sam" is and how I picture some creepy guy named SAM sitting in the back office with huge hands getting ready to take your children.
Yeah... we are still pretty bitter... can you tell???

On High School Graduation
Monday is my last full day of high school.
My memories from high school are some of the best of my life so far.
I remember walking into the high school in the fall of 2004 thinking about how extremely big it was. I thought that I would never be able to navigate my way around the 9/10 core and 11/12 buildings. I hated it those first few weeks! It was so different and I was out of my comfort zone of middle school.
As the year progressed I made good friends and realized the impact high school would have on my life.
Freshman Dance, Sophomore Dance, Winter Twilight, Junior Prom, Senior Prom. Overall they were great times (even though I am glad they are over, dances are a lot of stress and money!!)
On another note I just finished up and exhausting week of school... then right after Camp training till 9pm. I love my new summer camp job. My co-workers are all hardworking caring people who truely have a passion for summer camp. It is so nice to work at a place where people arent embarrassed to give eachother advice and help eachother out. Here... its cool to be wacky and enthusiastic. If you worry about what people think about you this job isnt for you. Anyone at Sports and More would have a seriously tough time adjusting to working at a real summer camp.

Senior PROM / Shutting my mouth
Today is the long-dreaded senior prom.
Tux
Flowers
Dress
Matching Colors
Limo

Dancing
After Prom
God I hate it all, it is one big expensive headache that is SEVERLY overrated.
But of course I am going. I do not have a choice. I have gone to just about every formal dance at this high school. Hopefully I will have the most fun this year. My date is actaully someone normal. Unlike previous years with clingy psychos.
Then there is always the question of whats going on after prom. no-one ever seems to know or plan things in advance. I'm sorry, but I dont want to drive down to the shore at 12:30 AM when all the crazys are out.
So this week was interesting. I should learn to shut my mouth. I didnt learn from this summer that gossip is wrong. Well someone supposedly did something and then it spread around school (or like a group of people) just because I told one person. Anyway so that was one big avoidable mess. I am glad that it is over now and that i have come to peace with people.
Graduation is in like 3 weeks. I'm not sure how I am supposed to feel. It is really surreal. But at the same time we all need to move on and grow up. Its not like I'm going too far so I can take some comfort in that. Also I get to go to my first choice college which is always a good thing.

First Post... here it goes.
So, I have made it to Friday, May 16. One More week closer to graduation.
I am extremely exhausted after a not very difficult week. I dont really know why.
After I got home from school today, i was really excited to make some tomato soup, because I had wanted it all day. Figures that as its on the stove the power goes out.
It was out for about at hour and the soup got cold and lumpy and just didnt make it through... darn campbells.
So last night was the Honors Banquet (AKA Hell on Earth) Thanks to "Honors Coordinator" Tanya Brown-Johnson for horrible food and causing 400 people to lapse into a coma.
As graduation gets closer.. I'm starting to reflect on all of my experiences over the past 12 years, and most are not very great. But I am really starting to feel like I will miss the high school. I mean its had its moments!! I will miss a lot of the good friends that I've made, but a lot of them are going to Drexel with me, so its all good. I look forward to college and studying what I want to... rather than stupid classes like Anatomy... kill me.
